SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

HAMPTON RACK& —THUBaDAY.
The Grand or Cap Day at Hempel,' wee sever celebrated
with greater success, sad the thousands of people present
seemed to enjoy themselves in the most maharani manner.
Fortunately the weather underwent a splendid change, and
the sun shone with midsummer heat, and seemed to
freshea everything into new life. As usual, " the
rued" was patronised by uproarious 'reunionists, and
from an early hour long lines of vehicles of all de-
scriptions wound round the lake in Bushy-park,
and threw up clouds of duet as they took their
way to liming Hunt. In all respects the day
sustained its reputation as a &castration of Cockney
pleame-seekers, and it is needless to tell here of the va-
rieties of four-in.hand, cabriolet, " ohm," " wen," and
" shofur which streamed to the Thames side in mrth of
sport and enjoyment. The race-course in reality gave few
signs of racing ; it presented all the features of an enormous
country fair, for there wereallthemivestional amusements,
even to Mr. Thomas Sayers's " Champion Circus," and the
usual expedients of " rang the " Knock 'ern down,"
and " Three sticks a penny." However, we cannot
attempt to describe the wild fun redominant,
but the " new dß* ball," which flies back
to the thrower by means of an elastic etring,
seems to have outbid that popular nuisance the
" scratcher," as a machine for nervous surprise and merri-
ment. The attendance was certainly never greater, and
from the winning chair to the tarn there was a dense mar
of human beings on foot. The sport requires no comment,
and the infamous apology for aooommodation afforded to
the members of the press might been excuse for any short-
comings. The Queen's Plate, or "Cup," as it is magnilo-
quently termed, was won by Vinegar Hill, comparatively
speaking an outsider." Fitz Avon was the favourite,
odds of sto 4 being betted on him, the partiality of his
hackers having its foundation is the fact that in
the Bath and Somenetahire Stakes he was second
to Caractecus in a large field of horses. Before oosclud
our report we may mention that to fir. John Clark, of
Newmarket, in the joint capacity of judge and clerk of the
scales ; and to Mr. Walton, the tadefatigable secretary,
much ofthe success of the meeting is doe. The following

are details of tha running :

Betting : 5 to 4 on Fits Avon, 4 to 1 apt Sycophant, 6 to
1 apt Vinegar Hill, 7 to 1 apt Stanton. The start took
place some time after the appointed hour, mainly owing to
the difficulty experienced by the police in keeping the
masses of people off the course, that the competitors might
take their preliminary canters. Mr. Marshall, however,
having got his field under orders at the post, gave the signal,
and when the horses came into sight through the crowd of

coining on full of running landed Lord Portsmouth's colours

fourth ; and Fits-Avon, who wee not persevered with when
lit was found he was beaten, fifth. Shepherdess was sixth,
Priest seventh, and Stanton and Alroy trotted home side
by aide among the crowd some time after the race, and did
not pass the post. The winner was not mid. James Gaiter,
