SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING.
TUESDAY.

An unusually large entry and acceptance for the last of
the great autumn events distinguishes the Cambridgeshire
of this year. With one or two exceptions, the field, in point
of quality, hardly d'flered from that for the Cesarewitch.
A number of but very indifferent performers promised to
swell its renks,—of racehorses, in the true meaning of the
teem, a vety few. As in the Cesarewitch, too, the young
ones appeared to have the best of the weights.
Speculation hes exhibited the usual amount of fluctua-
tion which the returns from the Corner have made us all
acquainted with. Brick and Gratitude have kept remark-
ably fi, m, and yesterday afternoon saw the resuscitation of
another old favourite in Stockingor. The favourable reports
as to what Columbia had done with Lerd Burleigh and Ely
brought her also to a short price, while Ackworth and Sac-
charometer, the foe mer especially, were supported s Rh great
spirit.
Out of the 61 entered on the card the large field of 33
faced the starter at the appointed hour-1 15—but a very
tedious delay, caused by the breakinns away of some and
the reluctance of others to come to the front, kept everyone
in suspense for upwards of an hour. At length came the
welcome cry of "they're off," and soon a compact-looking
body were seen escalading the bill. Approaching the rails
both Brick and Gratitude were seen t) be beaten, Saccharo-
metcr, who had been going well to this point, also retiring,
while in the front rank were perceived the colours of the
Marquis of Hastings, Baron Rothschild, and the Count de
Lagrange, along with those of Columbia's and the High-
flyer's dam colt. The race resulted in an interesting struggle
between Ackworth and Tomato, the former winning in the
last two strides by a short head.
The All-aged Stakes of 100 sovs each, h ft; 15 soya ft, if
declared in the Craven, and 25 sovs ft if declared in the
July meeting; these fts to be divided between the first
and second horses; 2-yr-olds to carry 7st ; 3-yr_olds Bst

Betting-7 to 4 each eget Argonaut and Lord Burleigh.
Immediately the fl eg was lowered the favourite, who was
wide of his horses, jumped round, and was left at his post.
Lord Burleigh took a slight lead as they got away, which
he increased as he came on, and won in a canter by ten
lengths,
