SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTEitSALIA, JUNE 23.

We have not seen • greater show of sporting characters of the
highest respectability, added to speculators of an inferior descrip-
tilm, than on this day ; in fact, the room at an early hour, VIA
crowded to an overflow, and it might be justly called a gay and a
busy day. The July Stakes at Newmarket was first in request,
and a great deal of betting on it ensued. A new colt has come into
the market, the odds on whom, as well as on the others, will be
seen below, with full particulars of the State of I kids un the Don-

GRAND PIGEON MATCH. . .
The Red House inciosure, Battersea Fields, yesterday, was a
pane of much attraction, in the two great pigeon
full of matches between
the Hest shots in the kingdom. The grouwas amateurs
of the sports, and the shooting was grand.
31essts. Adam Arrowsmith and Shoubridge--Thrse shots were
considered the best, with another or two, amongst those shots who
arc not men of fortune in their own right as gentlemen. The
match was 40 birds from a top at the enclosure boundary of
about 110 pints, End it was decided in favour of .Ir. Arrowsmlth,
who kilted 30 birds. and Mr. She.ubridge 26. The birds were the
very best blue rocks, strung OD the wing, and nothing but killing
in torn could bag them. It was evident that the birds of Mr.
Shoubridge were the easiest of the two to kill. The match was for
100 sovereigns.
The second math was between Osbaldeston. Esq. and Lord
Kennedy, for 300 sovereign', at forty birds each, 30 yards from the
trap. Those gentlemen shot last week a simiiar match, and Lord
Kennedy was one a head after shooting a second day.
This match was shot through at once, or at least with only an
intermission allowing time to cleanse their guns.
Mr. Osbaldeston killed in the course of his shooting eight birds
in succession, and, upon a fair calculation, half the birds, at 30
yards limn the trap, is considered good shooting, and equal to 16
front 21, at sisteen yank from the trap. Lord Kennedy was un.
lucky in Iris sitootirg, and Mr. Osbaldcsma woo by bagging
twenty-four birds from fifty.
