SPORPING IR TELLIGENCE.

ASCOT MEETING--TserzaDAy.
The ill-luck which met backers on Tuesday attended
them to-day, for in only two room did the °home one
favour them, and even then the &elders were only con-
tented with odds being laid on'the magnificent Earl, who,
after his rather severe work of late, was brought out
twice to-day for valuable stakes. In both instances be
disposed of his opponents with the greatest ease. The
attendance of huhionables en the lawn was not so nume-
rous as on the Zest day, although a tolerably numerous
001allady assembled, uschitling his Royal Hichaeas the
Prince of Wales, who had•walked over hone 'Mnem, his
Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, Prince Tuck,
Prince Christian, &c. There seemed, however, to be no
Salting off in the ring attendance, and the weather was
again favourable, the heat during the afternoon
being oppressive. This rendered the coarse hard going,
and probably conduced to the generally small fields
that competed. Sport began at half-past 1 o'clock with
the Visitors' Plate, which produced afield of nine, and Mr.
Payne's Citron was very fairly supported, while Colonel
Knox's Annourer came in for a fair skive of support,
although neither was eventually placed, ar )Tibiae, who
made his fourth appearance this year, turned the tables
upon them. For the Await Derby Stakes only three ch tae
to face The Earl, who had no trouble is disposing of the
lot. The event of the day—The Royal Hunt Cup—
although competed for by a field of twenty-one runner'',
was considered a gift for Frailty, who had been made
such a hot favourite as to completely paralyse the
betting. Dadtley, it will be renter beret ran third
to Paul Jones and ICingsland in the Goodwood
Nursery, since which time he has not done much
in public; but when it was seen that the Admiral bad
"let him in" at Est 101 b, all Hampshire rushed on, and
backers generally following suit keought him the im-
mense favourite he started. In the Goodwood Nursery
he ran in the name of Mr. Ruff, but he has recently been
purchased by Sir Frederick Johnstone and Mr. Gaunt
Stun, who are now his joint old OWN and who hid the
sole management of the trial at Woodyeates, wherein he
was set to concede old Historian Ltllei, which ho did, and
defeated the son of Stockwell amid Alms by about five
lengths. Hence the extraordinary confidence of Harry
Geater'n stable ; and to make assurance doubly sure they
secured the services of Butler to ride the "good thing,'
who nut iu the colours et Sir Frederick Johnstone. It
was said before the race that the Admiral, in compiling
the weights, had mistaken Eastley for Lord Westmor-
land's moderate animal Darnley; but though the son of
Mareyas was thought to have been chucked in, he seemed
quite unable to live the pace with Satyr ; and though he
was always ono of the first three, he was at one period of
the race behind both Satyr and Maxtor Willie, the latter
of whom he only headed in the last dozen strides, but was
never able to overhaul Sir Joseph Hawley's horse. The
latter, we may mention, who started at 10 to 1, had the
support of his owner, and was backed by the public, who
would not be "stalled off," although Satyr was positively
leg weary the day before the race, when the extreme odds
of 50 to 1 were offered against hint. Sir Joseph claimed
him out of a Selling Plate at Newmarket, wherein be de-
feated Redahoos. He was bred by Mr. 131enkiront and
sold at that gentleman's sale in 1866 for 650 guineas.
Blue Gown, last year's winner, was an absentee for the
Farnhill Stakes, which fall to De Vera, who upset the
backers selection, Leonie. The Hermione cult, who has
certainly made conaidemble improvement since he ran at
succeeded in bowling over the odds invested on the
Plate winner, Vietminster, in the Ascot Triennial
Stakes, which was little else than a match between the
pair. The Earl °entered away from his three opponent.
in the Biennial Stakes, and St. Ronan's running was a
strange contradiction of that in the Derby, whore he
finished sonic distance in advance of Suffolk, who to-day
beat him a long way. The day's sport was concluded
with the Coronation Stakes, which was a match between
Athena and Green Sleeve, the latter of whom was the
favourite ; but directly Fordham let Mr. Padwick's filly
have her head, which he did within the straight, she
cantered away from the Middle Park Plate inctress, whom
Adams stopped when he saw perseverance was useless.
