SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

WARWICK SEPTEMBER MEETING.
Not a transaction worth recording took place yesterday.
Favourites and non-favourites remained in stain quo, and
there was nothing to indicate that the decision for the great
Northern event was now only a question of hours. Never
do we remember such apathy in the market.

A very fine race for the Welter Cup between Principal
and Moulsey resulted in favour of the non-favourite Motel-
eey, Principal starting with odds on him, but failing in the
last few strides, and being defeated by a head. The Clown
walked away from the once dreaded Paris in the Five Soy.
Sweepstakes in the hollowest of styles, and the Nursery
Handicap was productive of one of those tedious delays at
the post that seem to be accepted for the normal state of
things, as the phrase goes, in races of this description. The
favourite, Verdant, a very good-looking colt of Mr Hodg-
man's, was bowled over by Hetty, an outsider of Mr
Payne's, who won very easily.
Gemma, looking in the perfection of bloom and condition,
carried off the County Handicap easily, though damaging
her chance in the last few strides by an attempt to'` savage"
her antagonist Soap, tone. At last Lord St. Vincent has been
smiled upon by fortune and allowed to win something.
East Lancashire disposed of hie small field for the Cup very
easily, winning by eight lengths, which might easily have
been made 18. The prize is a handsome group in oxydised
silver, commemorating an historical incident in the War-
wickshire family of the Shuckburghs.
The other events call for no particular comment,
The rain did not seem to have much effect on the attend-
ance, which was fully equal to that of the day before,
Lord St. Vincent has purchased Claxton, it is said, for
1,200 guineas.

20 lengths in their rear. On reaching the half-mile post
Trapeze took a clear lead, Hetty, in company with Mr
Wodson's colt, at the same time joined the leaders, who ran
in a body to the turn into the straight, where Vigilant, Tilt,
and Trapeze ran out, which left Doeford with a slight lead,
followed next the rails by Hetty and Cedric on her right to
the enclosure, where the three were joined by Tilt. From
this point a close and interesting race ensued, Hetty getting
her head in advance opposite the stand, and winning very

length for second ; Verdant was fourth, close up, Edin-
burgh filth, Vigilant sixth, Jevington, and Doeford next.
