SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.

WEDNESDAY.

The card this morning promised abundance of racing,
but dii not exhibit any of those so-called "certainties" so
delightful to a racing man's eye. In the Oatlands Plate
Saccharometer showed somewhat of his old form by defeat-
ing the field opposed to him, among whom were Merry
Hari, Clarior, and Principal, very easily. He will probably
be a favourite for the Cambridgeshire.

A good looking Trumpeter colt carried off the 2-yr-old
Handicap Sweepstakes very cleverly, and the issue of the
3-yr-old Handicap resulted, after a very fine race, in a dead
heat between Attraction, Lytham, and Gownsman, an ex-
ample of good handicapping not often seen. Ko3nig, receiv-
ing 71b from Gardevisure,reversed the Stockbridge running,
winning rather easily at last, the mare bolting in among
the crowd on the badly kept course at the finish. A respect-
able woman was knocked down and a good deal bruised by
Gardevisure, and we trust this accident may direct the at-
tention of the authorities to the way in which the crowd are
permitted to trespass on the course during the running, ac-
tually impeding the view from the judge's chair, and lead-
ing as in this case to what might have been a serious acci-
dent.
There was a second dead heat this afternoon in the race
for the Bedford Stakes between Miriflor, another of the
dreaded French division, and Mr Bowes's Klarinska. The
deciding one was won after a fine set to by the French colt,
and that for the Handicap Sweepstakes by Gownsman.

joined by Gownsman—the lot running in close company to
half way down, where The Beadle declined, having Attrac-
