SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

LIVERPOOL RACE S—TIIIIRSDAY.
The attendance this afternoon was even more limited

Linn yesterday, despite the brilliant weather, which might

be supposed to have an influence in drawing people to Ain-
tree. But a blight seems to have fallen on the July meeting
beyond the influences of weather to effect, and unless some-
thing is done we shall have to chronicle a still greater deca-

deuce. Oppressor, a fine looking son of Newminster, car-
ried off the Craven Stakes from only two opponents, and
Hesper disposed of the plating lot against him in the han-

dicap with great ease.
There was a good race for the Molyneux Cup between
Fantail and Windham, the mare leading the whole way
until at the half distance she was headed by Windham, who
had been lying off throughout, and who won at last cleverly
by a neck. Fantail was a very warm favourite, while the
winner was at 8 to 1, so this was a great turn up for the
fielders.
Universal satisfaction was expressed at the withdrawal
by Admiral Rous and Lord Stamford of the charges made
by them against Lord Bateman, arising out of the race for
the County Stakes at Worcester. In justice to the Earl of
Stamford, we have authority for stating that he signed the
first letter to Lord Bateman under an entire ignorance of
the real facts of the case.

Stanton.
The favourite, with a slight lead of Stanton, made the
running, closely followed by the The Clown and Wind-
ham, Moulsey, who was left considerably in their rear, at
the start acting as whipper-in. With little or no material
change they ran in these positions to the mile post where
the leading horses were joined by Lord Bateman's colt—
but in a stride or two after Windham was pulled back,
and went on in waiting to halfway in the bottom,

where v Stanton compounded, when Crenshaw brought
his horse to the front and followed Fantail into the dis-
tance, where he headed the latter and won a finely con-
tested race by a head; the favourite heading The Clown
by four lengths, a similar distance separating the third and
fourth.

Dermot Asthore, 12 company with Sluggard and Cut-
away, made play to the turn, when the Sluggard ran out,
leaving the race wit the two, who were joined half way up
by Alice Leigh. The three ran together to the enclosure,
when the favourite came out and appeared to be winning to
nothing, but was beat cleverly by a length, a like distance
between second and third.
After the race Clarkson, the rider of Cutaway, was sum-
mmed to appear before the Earl of Stamford and Captain
White, who acted for the stewards, the general impression
being that the jockey had prevented Cutaway from win-
ning. Ultimately, Clarkson was suspended from riding
again during the meeting, with an intimation that the case
would be brought under the notice of the Jockey Club.

The Cutler cut out the work, closely followed by David
and Lady Sefton to the turn into the straight, where they
were joined by Madame Tagliafico. From this point they
ran in company to the distance, where the latter challenged
Cutler, and won cleverly by a length ; a like distance be-
tween the second and third, half a length separating the
third and fourth.
The winner was sold to Mr Cowie for 511 guineas.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Rous appears from his last letter to have
misapprehended the purport of my letter to him of the 3d
inst.
In that communication I never intended to convey to him
a desire on the part of the Worcester Race Committee that
any public notice should be taken of the proceedings of
Lord Bateman or others. 1 had not received any such ap-
plication from the committee, and the statements to which
I referred in my letter as having received from them, and
from the inhabitants of Worcester,were brought to ma by a
friend, and were occasioned no doubt by a desire to exone-
rate the inhabitants of the locality from the charge of such
misconduct.
I thought it desirable to make Admiral Rous acquainted
with that fact,—l am, &c,,

COVENTRY.

Royal Freemasons' Female School.

Yesterday a quarterly general court of the Gover-
nors of the Royal Freemasons' School, St. John's-
hill, Battersea-rise, which was established for
maintaining, clothing, and educating female chil-
dren, daughters of decayed Freemasons, was held
at the offices of the institution, Great Queen street,
Lincoln's Inn-fields, for the purpose of placing
children on the list for the election in October next,
as also of declaring the number then to be elected,
and on general business. The meeting was presided
over by Mr, John Udall, one of the vice-presidents
of the institution.

Toe minutes of the previous general court and
those of the intermediate committee meetings having
been read and confirmed,

The SECRETARY read a report from the General
Committee to the effect that the number of children
at present in the school was 92, three of whom
would leave in October next, when their term of
residence thero would expire, and which would
reduce the number to 89. The number of unsuccess
ful candidates left over from last election having
been 14, which had been increased by seven addi-
tional applicants since, the committee recommended
that 11 out of these 21 candidates should be elected
in October next, which would increase the number
of children in the school to 100. It was also stated
that a contract had been entered into for the im-
provement of the play-room of the school, the con-
tract price being £l2l, and that the tradesmen's
bills and salaries for the past quarter had amounted
to £B3O 4s. 93., while the subscriptions and dona-
tions received on the occasion of the anniversary
dinner now amounted to £3,800.
The report was cordially adopted, several brethren
present expressing their satisfaction that the finan-
cial position of the institution was such as to enable
them to maintain, clothe, and educate so large a
, number as 100 female children.
