SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.
THURSDAY.

The principal item in to-day's programme wag the New-
market Oaks, a new stake, for which the redoubted F lle de
l'Air was entered. Baron Rothschild had three—Breeze,
Tomato, and Evalina—and started them alt. The French
mare and Tomato carried 71b extra, Breeze, but 31b.
The betting was 7 to 4 on the Oaks winner, and 4 to 1
agst anything else.
As the result proved, they might have laid any odds on
her, for Edwards had only to drop his hands at the half
distance and the race was over. Braze appeared to stand
still when Fills de l'Air ehot out and won without an effort
—another proof, if one was wanted, of her being a great
mare, while the success of the stable is overwhelming.
Nothing seems able to stand against it. Tho other events
call for no particular comment beyond what our return
gives, The Handicap Plate, A. F., brought cut the largest
field of the day, but from the very lenient penalty on
Wandering Minstrel the race was considered over before it
began, and was won in the handsomest of styles. The
Bretby was carried off by the White Duck, after a fine race
with lilarinska t.nd Convent, Much interest is excited by
the match to-morrow between General Peel and Cambus-

can. The betting is about even at present, and promises to

be heavy lottore the fig falls. F

Edinburgh lying up. On reaching the" bushes" Arkansas
gave way to the favourite, who, with Strafford at her quar-
ters, followed the leader into the Abingdon Mile bottom,
