SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING.

WEDNESDAY.
The quiet of an off day was rather agreeable after the
excitement and bustle of the Two Thoutand. One walked
about the Heath without the fear of being charged by the
very irregular cavalry of the day before, and could enjoy
the sport unmolested by a crowd.
King of the Vale, who has grown into a very fine-look-
ing horse, brought Baron Rothschild's colours to the front
after a very easy fashion. The " blue and yellow"has had
a turn of fortune's favour lately.
In the £5O Handicap Atlas, against whom they laid 10
to 1, finished a good race with another outsider, Disappoint-
ment, the favourite, Weatherglass, leing defeated some
yards from home.
The Two-yr-old Plate brought together a good looking
lot of young horses, the most noticeable of whom was Rad-
cliffe, La Mechante, Silverlocks, and his Royal Highness,
who, however, with the exception of Mr Saville's filly, did
not perform as their good looks led one to expect. La
Mechanto won with comparative ease. Caroline, the Irish
crack, in greatly improved form from her last appearance
at Epsom, ran away from Algarsife, and won in a canter,
her owner, Mr Longfield, doing ditto with Blarney in the
50 Sovereign Sweepstakes, where he defeated Argonaut by
a neck. A match between Captain Lamb and the Duke of
St. Albans, won by the latter with Trapeze, wound up a
very good day's sport,
