SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BATH AND SOMERSET COUNTY RACES,
WEDNESDAY.

The weather to-day, although finer than yesterday, had
still a very unsettled appearance, which seemed to have a
prejudicial effect on the general attendance. The pleasure-
seeking portion of the public were not in such strong force
as is usual at this popalar meeting. The betting at the
Castle Hotel at night was chiefly remarkable for a disposi-
tion to back Macaroni against Lord Clifden, 1,2, 3 for the
Derby, and the partiality evinced for Donnybrook in pre-
ference to his stable companion, National Guard. Among
the extreme outsiders Baldwin, reported as good as Spencer,
was in most demand, being backed in one quarter to win
several thousands. At the close 1,000 to 200 was taken
about Lord Clifden, and offered against Macaroni. Re-
specting the Oaks, 6 to 4 was offered against Lord Stam-
ford's lot, and many inquiries made after Miss Armstrong,
who was backed for some money at 10 to 1. The stewards
having left Chester prior to the complaint of the starter
being made against several jockeys riding in the last race
of the meeting, it was adjudicated here, and the result
was the following notice being posted outside the weigh-
ing-room !

" Chester, 1863.

"The starter reported J. Grimshaw, Barlow, Maidment,
Goodall, and H. Sopp for disobeying his orders. J. Grim•
Shaw and Barlow wore suspended until the Monday after
Ascot; H. Sopp was reprimanded and cautioned against a
repetition of the offence, this being his first offence. The
sentence against Maidment and Goodall was deferred until
Tuesday in the Epsom week, in order that further in-
quiries be made as to previous behaviour.

Baron of Avon, making use of his weight, jumped away
in front, and came on with a decided lead, followed by 'War-
minster, Oak Apple, and the favourite, the others, who
were headed by Butterfly, lying a length in their rear, in
which position they ran past the Stand; but on rounding the
upper turn the Baron considerably increased his lead, and in
so doing got the better of Sopp, and ran out, leaving the
favourite with a clear lead, Warminster going on second,
Oak Apple third, with Butterfly, Princess Vocqsal, and
Mily lying in their wake, Baron of Avon, who was speedily
righted, followed next. No alteration in these positions
took place until they reached the straight, when Warmin-
ster was beaten, and his place was taken by Butterfly
(Princess Vocqsal at the same time, through her saddle
slipping, getting rid of her rider, who fortunately escaped
without injury), who followed the leaders into the distance,
where they drew away and finished the race home, Bally
Edmond winning with consummate ease by a length and a
half. Butterfly was a bad third, Portland was fourth, and
Warminster fifth; Mountain Doe and Mily, nearly abreast,
were the next; Barmaid, who was outpaced from the first,
was the last throughout.

his horses, and in a few strides obtained a clear lead of three
lengths, followed by Safeguard and the favourite in the
centre of the course and Crytheia on the extreme right, At
the distance Mr. Sutton's colt suddenly stopped and kicked
several times, which allowed the favourite to get up, who in
the next stride was clear of his horses, and won in a canter
by a length, half that distance separating the second and
third. Crytheia was a bad fourth, Marmion tailed off a
long way.

Blondin cut out the work at a bad pace, followed by Flir-
tation, Fantail, the favourite, and Brother to Springbok,
the others headed by Blondin lying close in their rear.
Rounding the top turn Raglan considerably increased his
advantage, and came on two or three lengths in advance of
Captain Coates's colt, who was waited upon by Fantail,
Canary, and Brother to Springbok, running nearly abreast to
half way down the far side, when Flirtation was seen to give
way, and the favourite at the same time took his place.
Raglan retained his position until they fairly rounded the
turn into the straight, where the leader was disposed of,
leaving Fantail with the command, having Flirtation and
Brother to Springbok as his immediate followers; but on
their fairly rounding the turn Canary came up on the ex-
treme right, and waited upon the leader to the distance,
sr hen Judd brcught him to the front and won in a trot by
three lengths ; Blondin finished a bad third, and Brother to

velde to face his horses, the start was delayed some short
time. When the flag was lowered Vacuna immediately
rushed to the front and cut out the work, closely attended
byFaith, Inverness, Light, Vandervelde, and the favourite,
the latter lying next the rails ; the others, with Lady Wil-
liams, Garotter, and Double First at their head, being close
in their rear, but running wide on the right. At the distance

and won in the last stride by a head ; Garotter finished
