SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

ISE% MARKET HOUGHTON MEETING.
hIOMDAT.
Visitors to the heath oa the opening day were greatly
disappointed, for the weather, which had been up to to-day
wait enimaragionly tine. underwent a change. A damp,
saw mist prevailed in the early part of the day, and at times
ass so dense that the horses could only be seen a very short
&smug° from the chair. Owing to this circumstance the
fret race was put back half an hoar, but just prior to the
hour appoiutad for the Criterian-4 o'clock—tbe fog spin
became so thick that the Jockey Club deemed it necessary
to put off the race to the following day. lt u needless to
say that the postpouemeut of the most interesting race of
the meeting was a great disappointment, several sportsmen
having imam long distances to animus the encounter. Post.
pooements from the Fame ranee, however, are not unprece.
