SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.
The betting yesterday had some important results, the favourites,
however, remaining steady, with the exception of Sir Hercules,
who is decidedly in better favour than on the last betting day. Fa-
vourable accounts have been received from the North respecting
Frederick, who consequently regained his old place in the betting.
Forth is very sanguine about the two horses, and declares it will
take something more than common to beat them. There was a
palpable decline in Gibbeson's two Lady Sarah and Wandering
Boy, both of whom were without friends, although high odds were
offered ; the cause of their going back did not transpire. The cup
betting was confined to Zinganee, who was backed singly for
the Cup, or for it and the Fitzwilliant Stakes conjointly, to a large
amount. The odds were offered against the King's mare, but she
was not backed. A busy and rather interesting day closed as
follows : iv. USW

S to 1 tied 9 to 2 agst. Zinganee for Fitswllliun Stakes and
Cup—taken largely.
Major Yarburgh's colt Pilgrim (brother to Laurel), who for
some time was a good favourite for the St. Leger, has been
taken out of training, having fallen lame; but for this we, have no
doubt that he would have proved a clipper : he is a remarkable fun
colt, and in his private running gave promise of great excellence.
THE HUNGERFORD REGATTA.
This most amusing of all regattas took place yesterday, and the
benevolence of the inhabitant householders of the vicinity of
Menge:ford-market enabled the residents of that "sweet" vieinky
to partake not only of the amusements of the rowing match, but
sundry other " recreations," such as climbing a greased pole fora
leg of mutton, and others but only known and appreciated by the
sweeps of the neighbourhood.
The match was in three heats, between
John Parry,
James Dodd,
Thomas Vokins,
Edward Emery,
Wilson Emery,
Thomas Moody, •
James Crawley,
William Butcher,
Thomas Williams.
James 'Fagan,
Pink.
The first beat was cleverly won by Pink and Yellow ; the
second by Green and Blue; and the grand beat between those
four was rowed in really a vet y admirable manner, and the prize
wherry was won by yellow.
The other amusements continued until a late hour, and such was
the confusion which prevailed, it was impossible to uy which of
the young gentlemen won the " wet un," elevated upon the
greasy pole.

And that, too, with four wickets to spare. There was much of
capital play on both sides.
FISHERMEN'S SAILING MATCH.
The interesting match betweeu the Fishermen of the Thames
took place yesterday, and the day proved extremely propidons for
the oeca.ion, the wind blowing fresh from N.& About three
o'clock, twenty-three boats took their station at Westminster
Bridge, and were started by Nelson, the Water-bailiff. The boats
were formed into two classes, those from 18 feet to 23 terming
the first class, and those not exceeding 18 feet the second. The
Daisy, of Lambetb. was first boat of the small class, and the Silver
Eel, of the same place, second. The first boat of the. large Class,
Elizabeth, received nine sovereigns, and the second, Betsy, five
sovereigns. The winner of the small dam received seven sove-
reigns, and the second four sovereigns. A subscription was en-
tered into for the losers, and every thing passed off amicably.—
Thousands of spectators assembled on the banks of the river, to
witness the arrival of the boats.

The stopping up of Piccadilly has already occasioned
one dreadful accident to the Chichester coach. Surely in so wide
a space, and so frequented a thoroughfare, one side of the street
might have been done first, and the other afterwards.

-Dr. Barton was a punster. He said, " the fellowso f
my college wi.hed to have an organ in the chapel, but I put a gap
to it;" whether for the sake of the pun, or because he disliked
music, is uncertain. Ile invited, for the love of punning, Mr.
Crowe and Mr. Rooke to dine with him; and having given Mr.
Birdmore, another guest, a Witt to be rather after the time, on his
appearing, acid," Mr..Rooke! Mr. Croire! I beg leave to intro-
duce one Bird mom" lie married his niece to a gentleman of the
hopeful name of Buckle. The eitieerrise succeeded beycnd his
expectation'. Mrs. Buckle was dithered of twins. " A pair 'of
Buckles!" " this or girls?" said' a congratulating friend • the
answer may be supposed. To bint; tough it has been ittrigefed
to others, belongs the glory or the shame of having said to one,
who having re-established his hearth by a diet of milk and eggs,
took a wife :—" So, you have been eggeif on to Matrimody'i flume
the ',Le will sit easy on you.
