SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET JULY MEETING.—WEDNESDAY.
The card was fuller to-day, but we cannot call the diffe-
rent events Ls interesting or important. The ground, too,
did not present the gay appearance it did yesterday, many
having returned to town after the race for the July Stakes

yesterday. Knight of Snow lon ehm,e to run honest in the
Midsummer Stakes, and won easily, though not without

punishment, and Xurullo proved a prize to his new owner,
Mr Price, by carrying off the £5O Handicap at 7to 1. The
Plate for maiden 2..yr-ollds did not bring together a very
promising looking lot of young ones, Camball and Fanny
being about the best of the lot. The winner, however,
turned up in an outsider, Spice, who won all the way, de •
feating the favourite, Camball, by a length.
The Exeter Stakes was the most interesting event of the
day, from the appearance of Olmar, an outsider for next
year's Derby, who has been in the market at 40 to 1. He
came with a high private reputation, but was the first horse
beaten in the race, Count Batthyany's Puritan winning
easily by two lengths in advance of the French colt Ratho.

vessel, and, of course, her chance was extinguished.
Vision, speedy though she is over half a mile, found three-
quarters a little too much for her, and was beaten In very
hollow style by Brioche. The Town Plate appeared to be
a match between Tomato and Privateer, the Baron's mare
winning very cleverly by a length. The 10 Sovs Sweep.

A long delay occurred at the post caused by the breaking
away of Prince Le 800 and the restiveness of Daerfoot and
Voluptas. When they got away Xurullo, lying in the
centre, was the first in advance, followed on his right by
hill, when Mr Naylor's filly
