SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

BATH RACES.--.WEDNESDAY.

Lacking those sensational movements on the Derby for
which this meeting has in past years been celebrated, we
should say that the dust and the heat, reminding one of
Gozdwood at its brightest, were the features. In the re-
turn from the course yesterday the garments of the tra-
vellers were covered with a powder resembling snow, while
the sun's rays in the enclosure this afternoon were sug-
gestive of sun-strokes, and umbrellas were in great request.
The attendance was very large, the course being thronged
with both carriages and foot people, while the Stand was, as
on the previous day, crowded with a brilliant display of
beauty.
The Somersetshire Stakes is the important item of the
second day, but this
year the acceptance was a bad one, and
the field reduced to small dimensions. Teneriffe and Bald-
win were about equal favourites, and they finished first and
second, Sea King, who made the running most of the way,
succumbing to the weight in the last half mile. A. large field
(22 in number) came to the post for the Weston Stakes and
of course there was considerable betting on the issue of this
important two-year-old raeo. Missionary, a very fine
looking colt of Lord Portsmouth's, was made the favourite,
while, next to him, Mongrel, rosperity, the Mcestissima
filly, and Ethelred were, as far as appearance went, the
most reliable of the lot. There was, of course, the usual
delay at the post, which we take as a matter of course in
these two-year-old affairs; and after the flag fell it was
soon evident that there were but two or three in the race.
The Missionary was soon beaten, and, in company with
away, leaving the issue to Etheii•ed and Shrapnel, who
Mongrel, the Mcetissima filly, krosp
raced home together, the former winning by a neck. A
erity, eze„ dropped
rather frivolous objection that some of the horses started
before the post was overruled by the stewards.
There was but little Derby speculation during the day.
Copenhagen, 'after the race for the Somersetshire, was
nominally at 20 to 1, though we do not believe he was
backed at that price. Blair Athol was again sent to " the
cold shade" at 20 to 1, and Hoilyfox was backed for a little
money at his quoted price. The others remain the same as
yesterday.
The Welter Stakes (handicap) of 10 says each, 5 ft, with
50 soya added ; for 3-yr-olds and upwards. Once round

Betting-7 to 4 agst Lady Clifden, 3to 1 agst Lord Bur-
leigh, 100 to 15 agst Capucine filly, and 7 to 1 each agst
Hesper and Attraction.
The start was delayed upwards of half an hour through
the fractiousness of Black Rock, who repeatedly :broke
away, and was left at the post when the flag was lowered.
The Capucine filly was the first away, but•after running a
few strides she was headed by Attraction and the favourite,
Lord Burleigh going on fourth, with Hesper on his right,
to the half-distance, when the two latter were disposed of,
the favourite following suit as they neared the Stand, which
left Mr. Dawson's filly in attendanoe upon the leader, but
who was never enabled to get up, and was beaten very
easily by three lengths, a neck dividing the second and
third; Lord Burleigh was fourth, close up, and Hesper and
Avondale, close together, fifth and sixth.
The Selling Plate of 3 sovs each, with 25 sovs added, for
two-yr-olds and upwards; weights for age. With selling

Betting-5 to 2on Brother to Planet, and 6to 1 agst the
Sphynx filly.
Tom Ashworth, with the favourite at his girths, made
play, closely attended by Poland and the Sphynx filly to
the distance, where the two former singled themselves out,
and ran locked together to the Stand, where the favourite
got up, and won in the last stride by a short head ; Poland
finished third, fourth lengths in the rear, the Sphynx filly
was fourth, and Sweyn fifth. The winner was bought in
for 200 guineas.

The Somersstshirc Stakes of 25 soya, each, 15 ft., and 5 if
declared, with 100 soya added. The second horso to

retained these positions until they reached the distance,
where Raglan was disposed of; Minstrel at the same time
headed Redcap and won very easily by half a length; a
bad third. Bello of Yorkshire, who passed a lot of pull-

ing-up horses, finished a bad third; Balham trotted in
fourth, Pelios fifth, and Lady Superior next; the last
two were Raglan and Nebuchadnezzar. Verbena struck

Aunt Judy, and the King of Utopia, in the order named.

began to draw upon the leaders, and after passing the 2-yrs
old post, carried on the running, closely waited upon by
Persuasion, Flytrap, and Hymettus ; before reaching the
distance the latter went past his horses, and at the end of the

THE ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN v. THE UNITED
ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN.

the iLird day) this great
At Lorh Ground yesterday (
and exciting match was continued. The wea,:Yler was again
extremely fine, and a large number of evectaterS were pre-
amt. The United Eleven, in commencing their second
intingsl had 204 to get to win ; and the betting was in
favour of all England, At twelve o'clock play was called,
and Hearne and Jupp' went to the wickets, Slinn and
Willsher being the bowlers, E. Stephenson wicket-keeper,
and Rowbotham the long stop (a most ericient one). Jupp
marked 6, and Hearne 4—the two wickets failing for 10
nine. Mortlock and Griffith (both Surrey men) got to-
gether, and soon taused the score to rise. Wootton, how-
ever, who had taken up the bowling at Willeher's end, dis-
posed of Griffith for 15, in which were a 3 and a 2 ; three
wickets and 40 runs. Iddison joined Mortlock, and such
was the fine hitting that the scorers were kept well em-
ployed. Mortlock added to the score 65, including a fine
square leg hit for seven, the ball going out at the gate, and,
crossing the road, rebounded against an opposite garden
wall ; perhaps a couple of runs might have been saved had
it not been for a carriage that entered the gateway
at the time, causing the fieldsmen to lose sight of the
ball. His other hits wore a 5, two 4's, four 3's, and
six 2's; four wickets and 126 runs. Betting even. Ellis
soon added 19, in which were two 4's, a 3, and two 2's;
five wickets and 151 runs. Atkinson came next, and soon
after Iddison was runt out, after contributing 44 by some
first-class batting, his hits comprising two 3's and six 2's ;
eiX wickets and 156 rune. Sewell next appeared, but Woot-
ton was not long before he found his way to Atkinson's
stumps,;who left 7 to his name, in which were two 2's ;
seven wickets and 171 runs. The scene now became very
exciting, 33 runs only being required to get to win, and
three wickets to go down. Bell became the partner of
Sewell, and every run was anxiously noted. The former,
however, was cautious, but he could not stop Wootton from
Ogding his way to the stumps. Bell's 11 were well got,
two 4's being among his figures. Eight wickets and 195
runs. Silva joined Sewell, and great excitement prevailed,
only nine runs being wanted to gain a victory, and these
they rubbed oft; Sewell being not out with 20, comprising
two 4'f3 and a 3, arid Silcock not out with 10, in which were
two 2's. The latter gave the winning hit amidst much
applause. Time,

FOUR CHILDREN AT A BIRTH.—A poor WO/TIEII,
named R2illy, wife of a labourer living in some one of the
obscure lanes off Barrack-street, Cork, was on Monday
safely delivered of four children, one of them dead. She
thus becomes entitled to the Queen's bounty of £3, if
application be duly made on her behalf.—Cork Herald.
GROUSE SHOOTING PROSPECTS.—The prospects
of sportsmen for the ensuing shooting season in
Perthshire are at present very encouraging. The weather
has been all that could be desired since nest-building com-
menced, and during the last two weeks especially the sun
has shone out brillian,ly every day. On all the moors
of the county there is a large stock of grouse breeding, and
a number of the more early nests were hatched a week age.
Nests generally this season were well filled with eggs, and
gamekeepers state that they found in numerous cases 10
eggs in a single nest. If the weather continue favourable
the hatching season will so; n be over, and the groater
part of the young broods past danger from floods. Thy
grouse, with few exceptions, appear to be strong and
healthy. All other kinds of game on bath high and low
