SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING.
WEDNESDAY.

The day after the Cambridgeshire is generally a quiet
one, but this year the unfortunate contretemps of the win-
ner's jockey not being able at first to draw his weight, and
the various pros and cons the subject has given rise to, has
tended to keep alive excitement, and some degree of un-
pleasant feeling. Lord Westmoreland, the owner of the
second horse, lodged a formal protest against the decision
of the Stewards, and the matter had not been gone into by
the Jockey Club when our parcel was despatched.
Meanwhile the morning payment on the event was sus-
pended, and speculation throughout the day was languid in
consequence. The racing was of no particular interest,
and with one or two exceptions the fields were small. Lord
Glasgow's fortune was in the ascendant, he carrying off
the Stakes named after himself with the Miss Sarah colt,
and the £5O Plate with the one by Barbatus out of Seno-
rita ; but in his match with Lord Coventry Knowsley suc-
cumbed to Umpire, who chose to be in a good temper, and
won easily.

A long delay at the post, and an ultimately very bad
start, for the Private Handicap Sweepstakes, for three-yr-
olds, in which Juliet got an advantage of some lengths, led
to an objection against her as the winner, which was over-
ruled by the stewards.

The 2-yr-old Handicap Sweepstakes fell to Attraction,
and Countersign carried off the Subscription Plate for 2 and
3-yr-olds from a field of rather moderate performers. Capt.
Christie was again fortunate with Lord Adolphus over the
T.Y.C. There was a good race between Ely, Beatrix, and
Mahometan as a finale to the proceedings, which was won
cleverly by Ely. The weather continues fine.

Optional Selling Plato of 60 sovs, for 3-yr-olds and up-
wards. Weight for age, with selling allowances. Cam-

Croagh Patrick, on the upper ground, made play, having

serve lying up. They ran in these positions to the bushes,
where the two latter were beaten and dropped back, and

Through the fractiousness of Peignoir and the anxiety
evinced by the rider of Juliet to get away, the start was de-
layed half an hour. When Mr. M'George lowered his flag
Juliet got away with a flying start of 10 lengths, Poland
going on second, with Lady Clifden, Cassidia, Paddy
O'Rourke, East Sheen, and Farfalla following, widely
spread, to half way down the Bushes-hill, when Paddy
O'Rourke obtained second place, but without any chance
of reaching Juliet, who cantered past the post half s dozen
lengths in advance of Mr. Robertson's horse, who was the
same distance in front of Casidia—Lady Clifden was
fourth, East Sheen and Farfalla, side by side, were next
Poland and Peignoir were the two last, the latter being
left at the post. On returning to weigh an objection was
made to the start.
