SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING.

Wednesday is generally a bye day at Newmarket, and
this Craven it was no exception to the rule, only five events,
with an extempore match between Wee Aggie and Victoria
Cross, won by the latter, being on the card, The once im-
portant race for the Column Stakes this year brought but
three to the post, Sir Roger, a very neat-looking colt of Mr.
Merry's, who was after the race made a warm favourite for
the Two Thousand Guineas, winning in the commonest of
canters. Mr. Payne's Olivia easily disposed of the Lady
Hawthorn filly in the 50 soya Sweepstakes, and the Sub-
eription Plate proved the good thing for Lord Glasgow that
the betting foreshadowed. A good race between the three
placed for the Handicap was decided in favour of Jessie,
who ran a very game mare, by a head.
The Derby Trial Stakes, so called, we presume, from the
lusus a non lucendo principle, seeing there was only oue
Derby horse, the Count, in it, was chiefly interesting from
the appearance of Mr. Naylor's greater miler, Carnival,
who, despite his weight, was made a warm favourite at 6 to
4. On breasting the hill, however, he pulled up lame, and
the issue was left to Light Bob and the Count, between
whom a very fine race ensued, Fordham landing Lord Glas-
gow's colours for the second time to-day by a short head.
It was intimated this morning to the representatives of
the various journals that they would not for the future be
admitted into the Jockey's-room in the Stand, where they
have been in the habit of going for points of information on
a race, not easily attainable, at Newmarket at least, from
their own unaided resources. The head-quarters of the
turf have never been remarkable for any particular courtesy
towards, or recognition of, the press as a body, and just
now the relations are net of the most amicable kind. We
think this fresh regulation uncalled-for towards a body of
men who are merely seeking to do their duty to the public,
and, so far as we know, not intruding upon the confidence
that should subsist between the employer and the employed.
