SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

NEWMARKET HOUGIITON MEETING.
MUMMY.
A drizzly rain, which increased as the day went on, gave
a rather gloomy appearance to the Heath this morning.
The first event over the severe B.C. was remarkable for the
breaking down of two of t'ae horses engaged, Weatherbow
and Lord in Waiting, allowing Ossian to beat The Reserve.
Baron Rothschild's unwieldy horse, aptly named The
Giant, had it all his own way with the very moderate
Farce; and an outsider, Ethel, made a very good race of it
with Kildare in the Sciling Handicap.
The event of the day was the Free Handicap Sweepstakes,
in which Fille de l'Air, Cambusean, Baragah, Master
Richard, and Breezo were to meet on the A.F., and divide
the question whether the mare could give 171 b to Master
Richard. She was the favourite at evens, Baragah, who met
her at Illb the best of the weights, holding second place.
The rain had made the ground rather sticky, and this was
of course against the top weights. Great animal as she un-
deniably is, Fille de l'Air had to yield under her weight,
Master Richard winning cleverly by a length before
Baragah, who was a head in front of the mare. Cambuscan,
who was not pressed, was fourth,
Of the other events there is not much to say. They were
of the usual character, 10 soy sweepstakes and £5O plates,
and doubtless fully answered the gambling purposes for
which they are intended. Coup d'Etat gave us a taste of his
quality in a Handicap Sweepstakes, T.Y.C., whore, carrying
Bst 71b, ho shook off his knees at the cords and won with-
out being half extended.
The ground was rather holding, and promises to be more
so to-morrow.

The Lord in Waiting and Weatherbow also ran.
Betting —2 to 1 agst Weatherbow, 5 to 2 agst Ossian, and
5 to 1 agst The Reserve.
Lord in Waiting made play,The Reserve going on second,
and Weatherbow next, Ossian lying away some 50 yards.
Half-way across the flat the loader gave way, having broken
down, and the lead was then
,left with The Reserve, who
carried it on to the Old Duke's Stand, where Weatherbow
broke down so badly that Wells immediately dismounted,
This left the issue with the two. Ossian, who had gradually
made up his leeway, caught the leader half-way in the rails,
and won in a canter by 15 lengths.
Subscription Handicap Plate of £5O for 3-yr-olds and
upwards.

and Overstone. They retained these positions to the bushes
hill, where they closed up and ran nearly in a line into the
Abingdoa Mile bottom, where Verdiere was beaten, and
the running was then taken up by Kildare, closely attended
by Sister Mary, Ethel, and Lyra, who finished a fine race

quarters of a length in advance of Lyra, who was third;

The latter on the lower ground was first away, and made
the running, Master Richard lying up on her right, fol-
lowed in the centre of the course by the favourite, with
Cambuscan at her girths, and on the extreme right by
Baragah. They ran thus to the first half of the Abingdon
mile ending post, when the Baron's filly appeared in diffi-
culties, and approaching the " bushes" was hopelessly
beaten. The favourite then moved to the front, and, with
Master Richard pulling double, came on in advance of
Cambuscan and Mr Bowes's colt into the Abingdon mile
bottom, where Morris indulged the Danebury favourite with
his head, when he immediately headed Fills de l'Air, and,
as they breasted the hill, he drew a clear length in advance
of Fills de l'Air, who was a length in front of Lord Stam-
ford's colt, Breeze was beaten off.
