AUSTRIA.

The Botschddfter, of Vienna, in speaking of
England and her conduct relative to the Danish
question, declares that British policy no longer
consists of wise and mature combinations, but of
"national fancies and momentary caprices." The
Austrian Gazette in its turn declar©s that the con.
duct of England is inexplicable, and that her un-
bounded desire for peace leads her to acts which
are the greatest obstacle to it.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

CHESTER RACES—FRIDAY.
The weather was even worse on the last than upon any
of the preceding days. Heavy rain began to fall early in
the forenoon and continued without intermission during the
afternoon. The card was a barren one, and the fields were
miserably small. The only event to which ordinary atten-
tion was attached was the Stewards' Cup, for which five
started, and Little Stag, after pulling his jockey almost out
of the saddle, won easily, landing the odds laid upon him.
The other races were productive of small sport, but the
suspicious riding of E. Taylor in the Selling Race called
forth strong remarks of disapprobation; and although the
boy was not taken before the Stewards the matter was post-
poned for future investigation. Subjoined are details of the
day's running :
A Handicap Plate of 3 goys each, with 25 added ; the win..
ner to be sold for 80 soya, and the surplus to go to the
fund. Three-quarters of a mile. 6 subs.

which Jack's Alive went to the front, was never afterwards

7 agst Change.
Immediately the flag fell Little Stag—who prior to the
start had been restive—rushed to the front, Change and
Glendusk heading him in the first 100 yards, after which
Little Stag took a clear lead, pulling hard, followed by
Glendusk, Black Deer, The Clown and Change. At the
half-mile post Black Deer took second place, Glendusk
going on third, Clown fourth, and Change last, the five
running in Indian file, at about a length and a half inter-
vals. They ran with little variation until passing toe
Stand, where the " Stag" running wide at the Workhouse
turn, nearly unseated Whiteley, but before the others got
up Little Stag was set straight, and retained the lead. Half
a mile from home Change rushed past his horses, and round-
ing the Grosvenor turn took a slight lead of Little Stag,
who, however, recovered the leading position in the
straight, and wcn easily by two lengths. The others
beaten off.

Betting-6 to son David, 7to 4 agst Rondoletia, 10 to 1.
agst any other.

David made play until within the distance, when Ron-
doletia got up, and Taylor mistaking the winning post, Mr
Jackson's horse won by a neck; Vindicta a bad third.
After the race some feeling was exhibited against the
jockey of David, who explained that he mistook the win-
ning post, and was also compelled to take a pull at the
horse in consequence of his hanging on the rails. There
was no bid for the winner, who was subsequently offered
for sale for £25 by Mr Jackson. The complaint against
Taylor is to be be placed before the Stewards of the meeting
in London.
