SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING.

There was a rather meagre card with items of no particu-
lar interest yesterday, The St. Leger Stakes seemed reduced
to a match until Mahometan came to the rescue, and was
made at first a warm favourite, but gave way to Auricula
before the start, the mare making all the running, and win-
ning with the greatest ease, There was a fine race between
Columbine and Evelina in a handicap sweepstakes over the
Ditch mile, Mr Savile's mare defeating the Baron's by a
heed, though so close a thing was it that many thought
that the " dark blue an.l orange cap" had first caught the
judge's eye.

Ely proved himself an undeniably good horse by the style
in which ho defeated Tomato and Sir Roger in the Six-
teenth Triennial, A.F. The Baron's mare has been sup-
posed to be very fleet over that distance of g ound. In
the Granby Rothomago upset a very warm favourite,
Ostregor, with great ease, The Epnt was of a very mode-
rate description throughc tat.

attendance upon the leader to lilf-way in the cords, where
