COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
COWES, JUNE 9.
_

Loss OF THE FRENCH BRIG ST. BARBE, OF BOR-
DEAUX.—The Solent steamer towed in yesterday the
crew (eight in number) of the above vessel, who had
escaped in their boat. The brig foundered on Monday
afternoon, about twenty miles to the southward of the
island, she was coal laden from Newcastle for Algiers.
The poor fellows had only time to save their clothes and
a few provisions before she went down, but their
humanity led them to take from the sinking vessel a
monkey and a cat.
THREE BULLS AT COWES TARING A FANCY TO
PHYSIC.—On Monday last nearly 100 head of cattle
were landed at Cowes from Southampton fair, some of
them rather wild and vicious looking animals, unused to
eivilizA society, and inclined to take any road but the
right. Three of these monster bulls (but not the
Pope's) took a fancy to a chemist's shop, and dashed in
at the door. Mr. Weeding and his assistant, having no
taste for such company, beat a hasty retreat out at the
back. The shop was too small for the huge animals to
turn in; they found their way through it into the sur-
gery at the back, demolishing as they went the glass in
the cases and the bottles on the shelves. It was ex-
pected that they would have found their way back into
the street through the shop-window, but after some time
two of them turned, and were driven out at the door;
but the third, feeling tired, laid down behind the counter.
This placed the doctor, the driver, and some score of
anxious lookers-on in a fix. A genuine Isle of Wight-
man was for killing the bullock, and drawing him out in
quarters; when it was proposed by the " Bull" of the
Fountain Inn to put up the shop-shutters and remove the
counter. This being done, the animal took the hint
from his namesake, and regained the street by the shop•
door without doing any further damage to the doctor's
simples. During the same day a gentleman of the same
family did far more mischief in two drapers' shops in
Newport, waging destruction particularly amongst the
ribbons; his old Tory blood was wrath at beholding so
Radical blue displayed.

THE PROBABLE STARTERS FOR TO-MORROW'S
RACI.,S AT ASCOT.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sra,—My- judgment 3 esterday was right iu every in-
stance but out—the Royal Hunt Cup—tor which, some
how or other, I completely overlooked the pretensions
of Ephesus, which were more than usaally dangerous,
flora the state of the ground, and the course being a se-
vere mile ; an order of things most suited to this son of
Epirus and Enterprise. He waited in the early part of
the race, came when required, and won easily enough.
For the Fourth Triennial, 113 I placed them so they
passed the post, but in much closer contiguity than I
expected, Whitehouse having anything but the race in

lookin g particularly mischievous ; he, however,
swerved a stride or two from the post, and
thus enabled the Reiver to pop his nob only

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

ASCOT-HEATH RACES.-WEDNESDAY.

Although there was a prospect of short fields or walks
over for three out of the seven events enumerated in the
card, there was interest enough in the two, the Royal
Hunt Cup and Triennial, to make a very attractive
day's sport. Unfortunately, however, the weather was
wretched, the rain falling heavily and without intermis-
sion from daybreak, flooding the roads in many parts in
the immediate neighbourhood of the course, and making
the course itself a swamp.
It is scarcely necessary to add that the gathering was
almost entirely confined to parties located in the vicinity
and the professional speculators; the exceptions were
the Duke of Montrose, the Marchioness of Aylesbury,
Lady Chesterfield, Lady Rachel Russell, the Ladies
Somerset, and one or two others, whose names we could
not ascertain.

The sporting" influentials" present were the Duke of
Montrose, Marquises of Exeter, Drogheda, Worcester,
Waterford, and Normanby; Earls of Chesterfield, Wil-
ton, Bruce, Rosslyn' Jersey, Uxbridge, Euston, Gran-
ville, and Zetland; Lords Enfield, Ribblesdale, Villiers,
G. Manners, Newport, Clifden, Somerton, Canterbury,
Seabam, Henry Gordon Lennox, Maidstone, W. Powlett,
and Dunkellin; Baron Vigier, Count Batthyany; Sirs
G. Armytage, T. Burke, and G. H. Boswell; Honoura-
bles General Anson, L. A. Ellis, J. Macdonald, H,
Pitt; Captains Rous, Fred. Villiers, Francis Villiers;
General Ritter, Colonel Peel, Colonel Newton; Messrs.
R. E. 011iver, R. H. Nevill, J. M. Stanley, S. Stanley,
Greville, Payne, G. Fitzroy, and a few others. The
racing commenced half an hour later than on the first
day, and time having been well kept, concluded a few
minutes after five o'clock. The following are parti-
culars:—

The Coronation Stakes of 100 sovs, each, h ft, for three
yrs old fillies, fist 71b each; the winner of the Oaks
to have carried 71b extra, and of the 1,000 Guineas,

sued, the Exotic filly winning by a head, and Hirsute
beating the favourite by a short head. Tho race was
not timed. _

heading a ruck of at least a dozen, including the Heriot,
Hernandez, Ephesus, Little Savage, and Catalpa, made
play at a good pace, for the state of the ground, to the
road, where the leader and The Heriot were beaten.
Sanity immediately after showed in front, but at the dis-
tance gave precedence to Ephesus, who cleared his
horses a few strides from the chair, and won easily by
two lengths, Little Savage beating Pan by a length.
Sanita, Iluthorpe, and Hernandez, were the next three.
Little Fawn jumped the rails befure starting, and Janina
turned round at starting, and lost a good deal of ground.
Run in 1 min. 48 secs.
The Duke of Richmond intended to start Officious for
this event, had not the stewards decided, on a case being
submitted to them, that the condition which imposed a
71b penalty on the winner of a " handicap plate or
stake," made her liable to it for winning the Trial
Stakes, which, it should be mentioned, was a weight for
age race.
