SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

FIRST SPRING MEETING.

NEWIIIAMT, MOIIDI7, APRIL le.

The Company present to-day WWI chiefly confined to the sport.
ing circle, but the sport was not so great es was anticipated, four
of the Races being either off, or walked over for.
His Royal Highness the Duke of York attended the Races, and
in the course of the day the Duke of Brunswick arrived, but leit
Newmarket immediately after the Rates for town, as did the Hon.
C. Petre. _ _ _

Them were elm present—Dukes Portland, Rutland, and Grafton
—Marquis of Rxeter—Earle Jersey. Clarendon and Strattbrooke,
Orford, and Huntingfield—Lords Anson, Dunwieh, Cavendish,
J. Fitzroy, G. Bentinek, F. Bentinek, Norrnanby, Molyneux—
Sim J. Shelley, J. Byng, General Grosvenor. lion. 0. Powlett,
Hon. Mr. Irby, Hon. George Greville--Colonels Aubrey, Cdney,
Ituswll—Mears. Lambton, Keating, CrawftrA, Wortley, Mills,
&c. . .

The Jockey Club Dinner was attended by—His Grace the Duke
of Portland—Earls Sefton' Clarendon, Stradbrodie, and Orford—
Lords John Fitzroy, G. Retain ck, F. Bentinek, G. Cavendiph—
Col snels Udney, !tureen, and Aubrey, and many other Noblemen
and Gentlemen, members of the Club.
In the match between Aetron (Hr. R. but entered in
the trainer's name,) and Lord Orford's Census colt, and which was
for LenOgs. tested of 200 gs. as stated in the list, we are informed
that his Lordship offered 5.50g5. to be off. which was not accepted,
and that his Lordship has won between 1 and 2.000 by the race.
His Lordship, some time since, is said to have grown tired of
rating, but we hope the event of this day's match will stimulate
his Lordship to other adventures on the turf.
After the race between Rufus, Teasdale, and Lionel Lincoln,
great numbers of sporting characters followed Rufus from the
Iv( ighing house, at the turn of the lands, and all declared him to be
one of the finest horses alive. He has now done all his work till the
Derby, in the greatest style, looking as well after his race to-day,
and apparently as little distressed as if he had been only taking his
customary gallop.
The match between Cedric and Disarm made a very excellent
race, and both before and during the running the betting varied
very much. Bizarre took the lead, and made severe play, Cedric
just waiting in his quarters, and in running by the Bushes, Bizarre
finding that he could not shake off his adversary, endcavilured to
improve his pace, but he was already at the top of his mark. 10
to 1 on Cedric at the Bushes, where he came up, and won by a
length cleverly, amidst the reclamation. of his friends, thus giving
an additional proof of his superiority.
The other two races were won easy. In the course of the after.
noon and evening some heavy besting took place, the odds settling
as under :
