SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

EPSOM RACES, Mt
FRIDAY.
The beatify of the day. and inviting list of races. drew toge-
ther a good show of company ; they were not deceived in their
expectations, fur a pectin:l. day's sport we never attended. The
course sru in admirable order, and every thing went off setl, with
the exception of the delay of the Oaks, which was occasioned by
the Duke of tirafton's filly slipping her plate, which mused the
race to he p:wtponcd till near four. The Duke of Gloucester again
attended the course, and expressed himself highly gratified with the
races. We cannot conclude without complimenting the stewards,
Earl Derby, and Mr. Norther, Esq. M.P. on the great improve-
ments they have effected,by the erection of new bootha,not only op-
pante the scene of action, the judges stand, but in various usher
commodious places, and the facility with which the lists of the
races are published (as at Newmarket) at Epsom, whereby in a
few minutes the day's sports were printed, and ready for delivery.
Spring, Cribb, Oliver, Curtis, and others of the fancy showed, and
excited considerable curiosity.

THE APPROACHING GREAT FIGHT.
LZAMINGTON, JI'ITE 3.
Leamington Spa begins to fill very fast, and Warwick is all on
the qui rive, in consequence of the preparation and bustle occa-
Mooed by its Race Course having. been chosen as the grand arena
for the Champion of Eagbuid's prise belt.
The spirited 111 r. Roby, of Leamington, has this moment posted
past, to procure a hundred extra pair of blankets for his lodging.
houses; and the demand for beds near the scene of action is incon.
ceivablc. Warwick Grand Stand is one of the bat adapted
amphitheatres in the kingdom for viewing a battle; and the stage
is now erecting in its immediate front, and under such superintend-
ence that there can be no apprehension of an accident from its in.
security. It is calculated that no less than a hundred thousand
spectators will be upon the ground.
Beta at two and three to one are freely offered, though many are
of opinion that Paddy will bear beating to a mummy rather than
