SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

.-THURSDAY.

The attendance this afternoon wee scarcely up to the
average, considering its close proximity to the " First
Spring Meeting." From the extreme fineness of the weather
the mambo's were induced to patronise the " woo air
gathering " on the lawn, and business commenced with a
vigour that gave hopes of some new feature being intro.
dueled to vary the monotony that has characterised the
transactions on the Guineas, but which, as will be gathered
from our list of quotations, was not " made visible.
THE Two THOUSAND GOMM& —Kettlednun at the
opining was extremely firm, 6 to 1 being quickly taken, the
hackers becoming more anxious than this layers, and after
• heavy commission was "satisfied," 9 to 2 was the highest
offer. Klarikoff mme into notice with a rush, the effect of
a report of a most satisfactory trial in the morning, and
after some heavy wagering, he appeared to leave off •
much better favourite (for money) than Colonel Temseley's

have been taken by the partisans of each, to money.
Preceptress was much fancied, by many, and by one in par-
hook; who usually attends on a Mundy, who supported
her with much vigour at the quoted odds, but at the close
9to 1 was with difficulty to be obtained. Overton—the
only animal in the race that has maintained his "pride of
place" in the quotations—was main strongly fancierltoblkaend
influential party, 9to I to upwards of 200!. being
about him, and et the clam a point more was scarcely
obtainable.

36 was taken by a noble supporter of the stable about the
two coupled. Neighbour wasi nominally at 100 to 6, and
the Knight of St. Patrick was supported at 1000 to 30,
Morns at 1000 to 20, and Copernicus at similar odds.

the transactions on the Two Thousand little or no streetion
Ira bestowed upon this event. Chins Arnie was nominally
at 7 to 1 ; WalWe was inquired after, and a point more
than the quoted odds would have met with ready takers;
Man.st-Arms also came in for his share of patronage, 10 to

BOAT RACS IMITWELN

AND POCOC IL -

The lone pending millers' race between these men was de-
cided yesterday afternooe over the course between Putney
Aqueduct-brWge and the Ship at Mortlake. The stake was
100 f., Pocock allowing Clasper 84. for expenses. The race
wee rowed in outriggers. Thom,. Pocock is well known in
connexion with his brother William, with whom he has
rowed several times with varied 'mecca. His hat match
was with Ge3rge Drewitt, of Chelsea, who defeated him by
two lengths. John H. Clasper, of Newcastle, the sou of
the veteran Harry, is three or four years younger than his
opponent, and has rowed moy few matches, his principal
performance having taken Oam at the Putney Remittal
where be last year rowed second for the Apprentices' Coat'
Pocock took up his quarters as usual at Mr. Wilcox's'
White Hart, Barnes, where every attention was paid him,
bat bat week be fell off in his training from an attack of
pile& Clasper on his arrival from the Tyne went to the
Feathers Tavern, Wandsworth. Betting, in consequence
of Poorek's illness, had been in favour of Clasper, and in
some instances 6 and 7to 4 was laid. The roos was accom-
panied by the Velma (Captain Shemin), River Queen
(Captain G. Heath), Citieen X (Captein Hawkins), the two
clutters, several scullen, pairs, and fours. At the appointed
time the men rowed off to their stations, Poooek, who won
the tom, having a great advantage, one item in the article.
stipulating that they should start yards apart. On the
signal being given they started at a clipping pace, Pocock
with a alight lead, which he maintained to the point, where
the "young one" put on a spurt and came up level with
him, and after rowing a slashing race to Hammersmith,
where Pooock's weak multi°, began to tell on him. Choper
went away with the lead, and maietaining it to the Mush,
won rather easily by nearly 100 yards.
