SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

THE TWO-YEAR-OLDS OF 1862,
LETTEJL in.
TO 1111 IDTPOR OP Tin lIPMB.

Sts,—There were about two dozen race meetings
of raw sort during the month of July, and the prima* of
Lltei re plenty of employment to the juveniles, the
ire week commencing on the first at Wiliam, where
tit7och-bred Boutefen, who came to Hampton with such
a god reputation, managed to best his moderate lot of
"oposents for the limatlxourns Steles, and has been In
clover" ever since. Merry Hart did wonders in a handi-
er, as he gave more than a stone to eleven opponents, and
was easily, Kennett being mooed best. At Stockbridge,
fear only went in for the Champagne, and Infante's superior
scaditios got her horns before Charlemagne, the pair
being split by Corroborator, who ran well enough to give
lis stable great confidence in the pretensions of Cubism, a
*said filly by Voltigeur out of Ayacanara, for the
Biennial, in despite of her being not quite fit Mosasin,
Tem Fool, and the Brother to Scent were the best of the
public horses opposing her, and Genius*. Gelert, Blondin,
and Laurel helped to render the field a good•looking one,
although neither made a very promising &Ina. Muezzin,
with 3lb the worst of the weights, received a good bib beat-
ing from Tom Fool and Cachuca when they ran their dead
beat, which result wan as much attributable to Tom fro9r.

Winos as the filly's wonderful gameness, and thin quality
• jot got her through the decider. However, Tons
Fool ran well enough to make Blue Mantle's Ascot
defeat of him a great performauce, as Muozin bad
beaten the Orphan at Epsom in the Spring, for
it made the Fool almost the equal of the
latter, and analysts had only to determine which
won the easiest, Lord Clifden when he boat the Orphan at
Epsom, or Blue Mantle when he beat Tom Fool at Ascot,
to take their choice between the two cracks for the Darby.
I. the Mottisfont, Weatherbow made his second appearance,
end beat Le Marichal cleverly when in receipt of Mb., so
that he would now be a great favourite for the Blue Rased,
bet for his subsequent doings being so indifferent. As the
Frenchman did wonders afterwards at York, his defeat by the
awn jacket can only be attributed to Farnham lying too
far of[ with him, for when coming right through at York he
beat a good f eld in a canter, Dr. Syntax was a bad third, and
proved his party to have made a great mistake when stand-
ing him in such company as Blue Mantle and Cerintha at
Ascot. At Winchester, Oakapple bad nothing better than
FAdoworth Bees to beat ; and beyond King of
Utopia showing a further improvement at Newton,
nothieg else transpired mita we got to Newmarket, where
a great rerolution took place, as Saccharometer beat Blue
Mantle easily for the July Stakes, the latter being so far
before Armagnac, Weatherbow, and the good-looking,
Tease-use-not, that the performance looked a genuine one
for if the Frenchman wee tot quite up to the mark, he was
able to beat Weatberbow when in receipt of 31b next day, be-
sides a rival foreigner with some it about him called
Dollar. Taking the line through ae Mantle, Tons Fool,
Muezzin, and Orphan, this performance of flaccharometer
was undoubtedly superior to that of Lord Clifden iu the
• Woodeote ; and ha even improved upon it in the Chester.
Geld, for staying being his forte, it was surprising bow
he won over the half mile, espeenny when considslitit be
was about the last off. He amarall to beat Blue
Mantle by a bead, and also Lady Augusta, who mu a
dead beat witb the latter • but she, with Cacho;
• Armagese, Laura, Oekspple, and Tajo, was in receipt of
71b, wed her after-dole's made Saccharometer ea good
' favourite ea Lord Clifden for the Derby. Tice race for
• maidenswas an easy jolt for °apace, as renleetle was not
onto wady, and there oreenothieg else of first-ideas quality
in the field, :::IDankeld. At Worcester, Soapstone
earned a filb home in front of Fluke and Zara, two
seeing-like fillies 'good reputations, who got sewed and

ismethir moor geed 2-yr olds, very few of which met

vourite for the Derby, rameged to win the Nottingham

Ban beat him easily ; sed"be even off
when omen, Tajo is gamed race, being but awbsorthird
to the berter, who was run to • length by a uedul-lookiag
oat called Turns. Tajo showed his real quality for the
first time, and maintained it at Goodwood, when Brick
also mine out in his true colours and woe the Lavern by •
amok from Tajo, Tornado also running well for
W tint tires, as she was a fair third. All
OM were before Escape, Stockbroker, and the 31b
pushed Soapstone; and thus the Brick was set down •
great hone, which he proved by Ferrying nearly the top-
for the Nursery, and running • dead beat with the
N~ly-tried Glmodby oelt, giving him 181 b. Tondo was
• lssg way behind oa occasion, as were Calso Duakeld,
Memos. Royal Stag, Equinox, Summered'', See Nymph,
Robb , sad other good performers, the letter being evi-
dently " not wanted" for the amaion, as be carried 151 b,
overweight. The Ham brought out the mach•vannted
Automaton, • son of Pooshosites, who is the mother of
Apeman, (Sohnea's deco ; and as the latter had trained
into a, 71b. better filly dm she ran at Stockbridge, it was
• capital " trial" foe Lad Stamford's Derby crack, as Auto-
mates was givi her —llb. more than Tom Fool did at
Stockbridge. nu, when be ran her to • seek, the" trial"
appeared satisfactory, but was spoiled by Curie finial:deg
so close up, and it must sot be supposed Ceders's improve-
ment made out Automaton amputee hares to Tow Fool, as
he did not run true at Stockhri Montag failed to sus-
tain the trepidation he came to Goodwood with, which is
not to be wooded at, itioneldoelug the thee he wants ; and
if the late Mir. Chatwidoils Mod is elf, he will be

and Old Orange Girl " made 'dimmest" of Aram seat

ford's colt all the way hem.. W hen Armseem ran the
Wasp colt to • head for the Mottiefont, the ides of Blue
Mantle being a Moe bettor horse than Pratique remind a
confirmation, as he pee the Ft 3nchman 71b arida 71bbeating
at Newmarket ; but Automaton did not help to confirm
such an Idea on rousing three lengths behind the pair, as it
would make Tun Fool and Cs -..huca out some 91b behind
Pratique, instead of which Tom Fool was within 71b of
Blue Mantle at Ascot, and we mud take it for granted
Automates's me teethe Ham settled him forthe reminder
of the week. Gipsy Girl, who had changed bode ea
winnings selling race a: Worcester, exhibited first-rate frees
in one of the moor plates at Goodwood, and followed this
up at Brighlee when impale; third to Rubini and Irpdisa
in the Nursery, and to Summerside and Odioe on the cid
dak?she pve them all weight.
Goodwood meeting having ran on into the mead of
August, and Brighten and Lewes being so intimately
ew-
neeted with it, the two months' proceedings r n best ma-
maned at om time ; sad to primed with my notes med•
at Brighton, it is reeirded that two imported Sant
appearances occurred in the Biennial, as the Gunner sad
Avondale left Merry Hart and Cedean far in the rear, the
former winning so easily as to appear one of the moist at
the year, for Ceded was within something like a aka. el
Blue Mantle at Ascot and Newmarket, sad 011/211/D
her about a stem beating. Lewes wound up the f I
racing in Salem sad there Torn Fool was spin unfortunate.
Amanonian fullilliag the promise she gave at Ascot by
beating him a neck, Vindicta running home • shocking
third. Merry Hai .'s triumph over Canaria° at weights for
age made Gunner's Brighton performance appear even more
brilliant than at first sight ; and another candidate was
introduced into the Derby betting, when Erie-go-Bragh
won the Nursery so wady, while it mi& Car-
nival out of one the " cracks," looking at the
relative petitions they occupied at Cheater. Gipsy
Wel was great over her favourite hell mile at Wed vet-
hampros, where the stakes ware good enough to at met
King of Utopia and Vivid, end they both did alt that mold
be expected, the King rem* away from Oscar, Stock-
broker, Jude, sad hilithfield, and Vivid cantering home is
free of Abonsetby larche.tima, Zen, andSiookbrokor,
with *he worst of the weight'. At Reading, the Comoro
was tempted with a feather weight for the Nursery, and
she showed in her true colours by wincing from end to end,
it being impossible to calculate how much she had in bard,
although I should guar she could have beaten either of her
opponents, the bed of which was Erin-go-Bregh, at even
nimble. King of Utopia very easily disposed of Revolver for:
the Abbey Stakes ; and no better prod was muting el
the tatter's falling off than his being beaten •
long way from Soapstone, Tom Fool. The 01 pima, Dad
Ovei :are for the Reding Stakes. This quartette Zia •
capital race, and Tom Fool was again second, Seward
giving him 31b and a neck Orating, sod the Orphan eve-
ning a dead heat with him for sewed place. The Orphan's
form was not to be depended on, or Brick and Taje,
their defeat of &opted Goodwood, would nottbZet
behind Lord Clifden • sad there is no doubt the bandits
ma not her forte. Sermon* the lad of the lot, was ed.
deadly running for another day, as were also several others
at the meeting, Voluptas, who ran with a 3-yr-old weight
In • half-mile handicap, being also worth looking after next
season. The York August Meeting helped to earry out tbe
glee of Brick and Taje being such " flyers," as for the Om-
vivid Tornado (behind the pair at Goodwood) maimed to
beat Livingstone, Blue Mantle, King of Utopia, Bohemia,
Borealis, Zapateado, A ' • however, Blue Mantle was too
fractious before the start to do his bet, while King of
Utopia met with a mishap in the race, and Livinestom
ought to have beaten the winner, as he was "shut ia"
until too late, so that it would be emote to follow the re-
sult. Lady Augusta partly upset it when she beat Ned-
ebony and Bohemia with Ruch ease afterwards, as Bine
Mantle had given her 71b at Newmarket, and he was orly
a neck before Bohemia in the Convivial. For the
Juvenile, Teasel's superior condition got her home br •
fore &amender, Falcon cutting up an arrant rogue, at he
must have won, which says little for the form of either,
although time
.will work a great bnpiovrnent is
Scamander. Pratique's infen.orit7 to finitmlres berm wee
further exemplified when Cerintba metered away from him
for the Rancid% ; sod Emepe failed to prove himself a
Derby horse, slthotigh he woo the Prince of Wales's Stele
as Fontenoy and Princess Louisa finished too close to him,
neither Stockman nor Clarior having been sufficiently pee-
pared for their defeats to be a criterion of their merits, and
it is not unlikely they will both some day turn the tables on
&cape. The Biennial produced soother mastidectory re-
sult, as Kim of Utopia got away from the post so well that
it is hard to determine whether be was enatkd to defeat
Le Mancha' ; and to make matters more complicated Old
Orange Girl's stirrups gave way just as Aldcroft called on
her, which pat her chance out. Contralto, Manacles, and
Michael Scott were all so backward as to only run among
the unplaoed, and the last named showed some eau I
" quality," being a neat edition of his brother, The
Wisard, and ose of the best goers at York. On the
Let day, Le blanche' repudiated the idea of his
being four lengths wane than King of Utopia,
by galloping home lengths before Ceriotha, the Wasp
colt, Zapata& and Comet for the Gimcrack, and had he
not been running the two first-reined with 71b. the lied of
the weights, the judge would still have had to dam him
first, as he finished full of " go," while the others were
dad beaten, Berintha especially, which renders it im-
probable she will ever stay. Fantastic being " wasted"
for the Nursery, and also deludes, another bad pei:ormpr
up to this time, they were placed first and sewed • and to
wind up, a good-looking descendant of Newminster, calk I
Cistercian, made • successful find appearance, by bowling
over Stampede for the Colt Sapling Peeked. The Stockton
week followed York too closely for the two-year-old
racing to be interesting, and had not Early Purl come
out for the Cleveland, it would have been very doll,
he creating a sensation by disposing of Prince,,
Louisa, Bohemia, Cistercian, fr.c., in a nominee canter.
He bad been heavily backed for the Derby beforehand,
and gave every satisfaction, having finished half-a-dozen
lengths more before Bohemia than Tornado did at York,
and thus ridiculed the idea of the latter having bad any
tight to teat Livingstone and Blue Mantle for the Convi-
vial. The triumphs of Livingstone. Mehmdre, Old Orange
Girl, and Tippler were only what might have been expected,
as the beat that opposed the two cracks were the pro-
miming Change and Richardi end the only remarkable
feature in connexion with the victories of Soapstone,
Golden Dust, and Eringo-Bregh at Feham and Lichfield
was that Golden Dust performed in earnest for the tint
time.

what with the doings at Stockbridge, Newmarket,
Goodwood, and York, July and Auguat were as prodective
of incident as any other two months of the year,
for they added to the list of "cracks" previously
made out such celebrities as Cachucs, Armagnac,
Gunner, Avondale, Lady Augusta, Automaton, Pratique,
Old Orange Girl. Cistercian, and Charlemagne, besides the
more than moderate Infante, Fluke. Zara, Tippler, Zest
colt, Tureen, Corroborator. Abernathy, Tassel, Change,
Gleociehty coil, and Richard ; and when looking at the
im-
pprovement on their previous running shown by Amazonian,
Erin•go-Biagb, Overture, Foetcouy, Comet, Fantastic.,
Melaodra, Golden Dust, Westberbow, King of UtoMe,
Soapstone, Cairecastle, Brick, Tye, Tornado, the Warp
colt, Vivid, Gipsy Gill, Summers de, Odin*, Oakapple,
Weatberbow, and Boutefeu, the budget of good two-
year-olds was quite op to the average. There were din
several among the bad performers that we have not heard
the last of, foremost among them being Michael Boost,
&kiwi°, Contralto, Arsoth, Overstate, Voluptas, Stock-
men, hireigtoe, Dolly, Temmemeemt, Laurel, Moodie,
Gelert, Canino), end Menschm—l am, do., METEOR.
