SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET JULY MEETING, JULY 7.

The sole excitement of to-day's racing centred in the
Chesterfield Stakes and the second meeting of the Duke
and Liddington. The other events were entirely destitute
of interest, save and except that they furnished materials
for speculation to the industrious fraternity cf layers and
backers.

On this occasion Fordham rode the Duke, but not, as his
supporters fondly hoped, to victory.
Nine came to the post for it, among them Cordelia,
Zephyr, Lisette, and Biondina, good-looking fillies, the two
totruer winners. The betting at starting was 5t04 on the
Marquis of Hastings's horse, who displayed some frac-
tiousness at the post, and did not seem to run kindly. Lid-
dington, on the contrary, was on ttrms with his horses
from the moment the flag fell, and soon made the pace too
hot for them. He then came up the hill in magnificent
style, beating the favourite by three lengths. It was an asto-
nishing performance, and he proved himself possessed of
tshteayDinuke been properly called upon
g powers. On Tuesday he ran
sgoreunkindly
atshawtehl laads
there is no doubt he could have won. To-day Mr Merry's
horse was in different form, and cut down his field in a
manner rarely seen. The other events, as we have said,
call for no special comment beyond what the return gives.
We may mention, however, the clever riding of young
Phillips in the last race of the day. The patient manner in
which be waited to bring out his horse at the proper
moment is deserving of all praise.

given. They retained these positions into the bottom,

Betting-5 to 4on The Duke, 7to 4 agst Liddington,
10 to 1 agat any other.

In consequence of tho fractiousness of the favourite and
Haarlem the start was delayed some time. When the flag
was lowered Cordelia, with Biondina, Zephyr, and Rotho-
mago on the left, were the first away, followed on the ex-
treme right by Liddington, Lisette, and The Duke, the lot
running widely spread across the course. Descending the
hill Biondina dropped back, and as they entered the bottom
Rothomago joined the beaten division. Liddington as they
reached the hill went to the front, and in a few strides after
he headed Mr Alexander's filly, who half way up was
passed by the favourite, who made an. effort to get up as
they reached the Stand, but failed, and was beaten in a
canter by three lengths; a similar distance divided the
second from the third ; two lengths separating the third and
fourth. Biondina was filth, Zephyr sixth, and Itothumago
nest. Haarlem and Fanny were the last two.

The Coventry Stakes at Worcester,

Lord Bateman presents his compiments to the
editor of The Sun, and will be much obliged if he
will publish the enclosed copies of a correspondence
which has taken place between the Hou. Admiral
Rout', the EAri of Stamford and Warrington, and
himself. •
51, Cirosvenor place, July, 1564.

Newmarkot, July 4.

My Lord,—As your lordship thought proper, cn the
Worcester racecourse, to denounce our verdict on the eb-
jection lodged against Jezabel (without hearing the evi-
dence) in the most violent language, which had the natural
effect of irritating an ignorant mob, with no other apparent
reason than that you had backed Jezabel t 3 win £2,000—
we call upon you to write an apology. In default of which
we shall lay the case before the meeting of the Jockey Club
on Wednesday afternoon, when we invite your attendance.
—We are, my lord, yours, &c.,
(Signed) H. J. Rotts.
STAMFORD AND WARRINGTON,
The Lord Bateman, &c., &c.

54, Grosvenor place, July 5.

Sir,—l have this morning received a letter, signed by
yourself and the Earl of Stamford and Warrington, re-
specting the very strong exhibition of public feeling which
took place on Worcester racecourse, on Friday last, on the
announcement of your decision against Jeztbel, in the Co-
ventry Stakes. In reply thereto, I have to state that, in
common with every c.ther person present, I expressed my
opinion freely on the decision in question, but not, that I am
aware of, in any language which could be construed by you
as moat violent, or calculated to irritate an ignorant mob.
The demonstration of the public was per!ectly spontaneous,
and in no way encouraged, or even occasioned by any re-
mark of mine. They made their own comments loudly,
with which I had nothing whatever to do; and whether
they cheered or hotted was no business of mine, nor in my
power to prevent. I have a right to call upon you
both, therefore, to substantiate the grave accusation
which you have jointly made against me in your letter ;
and, under the circumstances, I do not feel called upon to
write you any apology unless and until you furnish me
with the exact language which you impute to me as being
most violent, and of a nature to irritate an it'plorant mob—
in which case, or even if, in commenting on your decision,
I may have made use of any expressions calculated to
wound any one's private feelings, I shall, of course, on
their being stated to me, be most happy to withdraw them,
as I consider any other gentleman would be anxious to do.
As I cannot be at Newmarket to-morrow, I shall be unable
to attend the meeting of the Jockey Club to which you in-
vite me.—l have the honour to be, Sir, yours, &c.
(Signed) BATEMAN'.

Hon. Admiral Rous.
P.S.—Duplicate of this letter is sent to Lord Stamford.

Newmarket, July 6.

My Lord,—We have received your letter in which you
state you expressed your opinion freely on the decision
of the Jezahel case, being ac that time in total ignorance
of the evidence given by Mr Johnson, the judge, and the
jockey who was third in the race. if your lordship or your
friends consider yourselves justified to condemn a verdict
without hearing the evidence, no gentleman can be found to
undertake the duties of a steward at country races.—We are,
my lord, yours, &c.
(Signed) H. J. Rous,
STAMFORD AND WARRINGTON.
The Lord Bateman.

54, Grosvenor-place, July 7.

Sir,—l again call upon you and the Earl of Stamford and
Warrington to substantiate the grave accusation which you
have thought proper jointly to make against me in your
former letter, and which seems to have escaped your notice
altogether; or, in default, I call upon you both to retract
that letter and the accusation it contains, and to write me
such an apology for the same as every gentleman has a
right to demand, and which no gentleman would refuse, I
beg to add, in reply to your letter of yesterday, that any
person from the Steward's Stand could see what took place
in the race as well as, if not better than, the judge from his
box, and that the nature of the evidence given was publicly
discussed before I expressed an opinion on the decision.
I feel compelled to publish this correspondence, of which
I give you notice, and am, Sir, yours, &c.,
Hon. Admiral Rous. (Signed) BATEMAN.
P.S.—Duplicate of this letter is sent to Lord Stamford.
