SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.
The attraction of the Cesarewitch brought a crowded
train from town this morning, in addition to those from
Peterborough and other places. The Dotting had not been
much influenced by the running for the Trial Handicap
yesterday beyond Blackdown and Jack of Hearts being at a
trifle better price, the latter at midnight having the call of
the Goodwood Stakes winner. Lioness retained the as-
cendancy, and Emblem had eager supporters at 8 to 1.
Limosina was pretty firm, though many were anxious to
lay against her, and a suspicion that she had a downward
tendency was rather prevalent. This proved to be the case,
as 10 to 1 was offered against her previous to the start,
while Drummer Boy advanced to 4 to 1, the
position of
Mr. Merry's mare being unchanged. The result fully im-
tified the confidence felt by both owner and trainer. Prom
the "Bushes" the race was net in doubt, and though Lord
Stamford's mare made a gallant struggle she could not
reach the favourite, who won by three-quarters of a length,
three lengths separating Limosina from Jack of Hearts.
Behind them came Blithileld, Blackdown, Emblem, and
Drummer Boy. 'Umpire behaved exactly as he did last
year, shutting up half way down the hill, and of course
immediately being out of the race.
The Clearwell always possesses an interest from the pre-
sence of some " dark" young ones, and this year Baron
Niviere's Sonehamp came with a certain reputation, but
Mr. Merry's Crisis won easily by a neck.
Unusual eclat was given to the day's proceedings by the
presence of the King of the Greeks and his Royal Highness
the Prince of Wales, accompanied by the Duke of Cam-
bridge and attended by Captain Grey, who arrived by spe-
cial train from town about 1 30, and immediately mounting
their horses proceeded to the course. The Royal party
viewed the race from the Stand, and at its termination re•
ceived an enthusiastic reception from all classes. They left
the ground soon after the race.
The course did not look as we have seen it on former
Cesarewitch anniversaries. The attendance was large, but
the crowds of two or three years ago were not there.
The Royal Stakes of 200 sovs each, 120 ft, for 3-yr-olds ;

and won cleverly by half a length.

and Bertha, and 6 to 1 agat Merry Maid.
The lot ran abreast (with the exception of Bertha and the
favourite, who got badly off) for the first quarter of a mile,
when Merry Maid quitted her horses, and came on with a
commanding lead, which she retained to the end, and won
with ease by six lengths. Actaeon was a bad third, Butler
fourth, and Humphrey next. Tourist was last.

9 to 2 agst Look Sharp, and 10 to 1 agst Petersham.
Dunsinane, in company with Belle of Yorkshire, Look
Sharp, and Petersham, made the running, Equinox and
Sweet Willie lying off for the first half mile, when the latter
and Look Sharp dropped back, Petersham at the same time
were in front, and, with Belle of Yorkshire and Equinox
laid close up, came on together into the cords, where the
latter ran past her horses and took a slight lead, the four
finishing a splendid race home, Challoner just landing Mr.
Naylor'a colours in the last stride by a neck, Petersham de-
feating Belle of Yorkshire by a head for second, a like dis-
tance separating the second and third.

stone.

Punctually to the time set down the 24 competitors
reached the starter, and without loss of time were despatched
from the post nearly in a line. Jack of Hearts, evidently
with the intention of serving his stable companion, imme-
diately went to the front, and led them along at a merry
pace for the first quarter of a mile, when he was pulled back
and the lead taken by Real Jam, Jack of Hearts going on
second, Blondin third, and Romanoff next, then came, wide
on the right, Emblem, Limosina, Lioness, Drummer Bay,
Blitbfield, Umpire, and Blackdown, the next division being
headed by Summerside, Agag, Cock Robin, and Fantail,
Wingrave, in company with Harlequin and Carisbrook act-
ing as whippers in. With little or no alteration they re-
tained these positions until they reached the first half of the
Abingdon Mile ending post, when Mr, Hughes's colours
disappeared from the front. Umpire at the same time came
up on the lower side and came on with a decided lead,closely
attended by the favourite on the far side, at whose girths
came Limosina, and in the centre of the course Blithfield,
Drummer Boy, Jack of Hearts, and his stable companion
Blackdown, this lot running in such close company to the
Bushes hill that a sheet might have covered them, the rest
of the field being completely spread-eagled. Half-way
down the hill Umpire, as last year, gave in, the favourite
at the same time taking a slight lead, waited upon by Limos
sine, Blithfield, Jack of Hearts, Drummer Boy, and
Blackdown, into the Abingdon Mile bottom, where Mr.
Naylor's colt and Blackdown were in difficulties, leaving
the three placed to finish the race home, Liones swift-
ning rather cleverly by three parts of a length. Three
lengths separated the second and third. Blithfield was
fourth, three lengths in their rear; Blackdown fifth, Em-
blem sixth, Drummer Boy seventh. Then came Summer-
side, Agag, Benjamin, Wingrave, and Umpire, close to-
gether ; and, at wide intervals, the others trotted in, the last
lot being composed of Sandford, Harlequin, Carisbrook,
Chere Arnie, and Romanoff.

British Archaeological Association,

LEEDS, TUESDAY.
The 20th annual meeting of the British Arehaaological
Association commenced in this town yesterday afternoon,
under the presidency of Lord Houghton. The proceedings
will be continued the whole of this week,and will be brought
to a close on Monday by an excursion to York. According
to the programme the mornings of each day will be occu-
pied with excursions to inspect the numerous objects of in-
terest in the neighbourhood, and in the evening papers will
be read in the hall of the Philosophical Society. There was
some misunderstanding, in making the preparations for the
meeting, respecting the manner in which the association
were to be received by the mayor and corporation, but all
differences have been amicably arranged, and the members
of the association were entertained by the corporation last
evening in the Town-hall ; a large number of the inhabi-
tants of Leeds and the neighbourhood having been invited
to meet them.

Lord Houghton, who was elected president of the asso-
ciation in February last, when Mr. Monckton Milnes, was
supported by a host of vice-presidents and patrons of the
association, including the Archbishop of York, the Bishop
of Ripon, Earl Fitzwilliam, the Earl of Harewood, the Earl
de Grey and Ripon, the Earl of Effingham, the Earl of
Cardigan, Lord Londesborough, and numbers of the clergy
and gentlemen of the neighbourhood,
The proceedings commenced in the Town-hall at three
o'clock, when the Mayor and Corporation of Leeds, in their
robes of office, accompanied by the principal members of
the association, occupied the platform, and the body of the
large hall was nearly filled with the other members of the
association and the visitors invited by the corporation.
After a few observations from the Mayor, expressing his
gratification at receiving the British Archaeological Associa-
tion in Leeds, Dr. Lee, the president last year, formally re-
signed the presidency to Lord Houghton, who then deli-
vered his inaugural address viva wee, and not from a written
paper,:as was done on most former occasions. He said that
it had been customary with those who had previously
held the office he now had the honour to fill to
give in their
inaugural addresses a synoptical history of the antiquities
of the counties in which their meetings were held ; but the
antiquities of Yorkshire are so extensive that it would be
impossible in the brief space of an hour or so to give a satis-
factory synopsis of them, and he would not therefore attempt
it. It would be like attempting to give a synopsis of the
history of the world. It was also simply impossible, for the
reason that a great deal of the antiquity of Yorkshire had
yet to be discovered, Large portions of it, as was said by
the late Mr. Hunter, were yet a complete terra incognita,
and for that reason he was delighted this society
had come
amongst them to expand their knowledge and enlarge their
information. The study of archaeology was the study of the
material, visible, and sensible records of the past. It was
the study of the waifs and strays of time, which the great
ocean in its course leaves behind it--fragments and wrecks
of the great past, such detached fragments as a child might
pick up on the shore, which nevertheless, when investigated
by the power of the human mind, lead to immense deduc-
tions and to most important consequences, deducting. the
most important events from objects that might seem
vial,
and even ridiculous. Wonderful indeed was the position of
man, standing on one point of time, with an eternity on
either hand, and wonderful, more wonderful still, was it
that, limited as were his faculties, finite as were his
per-
ceptions, he was nevertheless endowed withthe power
investigating the past history of the world which he
of
inha-
bits—thus showing the conquest of mind over the inferiori-
ties of matter. (Hear, hear.) How did he do this? How
was it that man had the power to throw himself back into
this infinite distance ? By the physical fragments which
they put together, and from which drew deductions. The
earth itself supplied the materials for its own archaeology,
and the geologists who explored its rocks and strata are the
archaeologists of our planet. M. Cuvier could' from
a single bone, construct the form of au animal
that lived in ages long anterior to existing man;
so the arcbasologist could, by sticlying the fragments
left by men of former times, throw light on their past his-
tory, and gain an insight into the changes that have taken
place among mankind. To come to what might, compared
with the history of extinct inhabitants of the earth, be called
more recent times, to the archaeology of the antiquity of
man. They had all heard of those flint-heads which had
been tossed about from time to time, simply considered as
curious pieces of stone, and yet which, by modern science,
.
had been discovered to be the clear and certain testimony of
the habitancy of this earth centuries and centuries before
all historical notice. And thus also had been discovered in
the lakes of Switzerland and Denmark, and lately in those
of Scotland, remains of large villages planted in the midst
of the water, showing the existence of very large populations
over the face of Europe long before any recognised historical
period. (Applause.) Passing from the archaeology of physi-
cal facts, his lordship proceeded to notice the archaeology of
language, and the light which it served to throw on the
past history of man. The distinctive dialects of di▪ fferent
counties thus became of use in the study of archaeology, and
the dialect of Yorkshire served as a guide in the discovery
of many interesting truths. Separate dialects are, he ob-
served, vocal histories of the distant Past' Hi▪ s lordship
then noticed more especially the objects of the soci▪
ety. They
did not profess to carry archeology so far as to consi▪ der the
history of this planet nor to trace the antiquity of man.
Their views were confined to times purely and simply his-
torical, and rested upon a purely historical basis. They had
nothing to do with fancies or theories of any kind whatever;
they wanted people to tell them facts, and bring them evi-
dence of those facts. To be real antiquaries, to take pleasure
in antiquities, two or three things were absolutely neces-
sary. First, there must be a reverential respect and regard
for the past. The populations of the world that seemed
appointed by Providence as the great conservators of the
history of the past were the Oriental, and especially the
Semitic nations. In the modern world this feeling had cer-
tainly not developed itself very strongly till almost very re-
cent times. It was not to be expected that the barbarians
who devastated Europe would have cared much for the an-
tiquities they destroyed or for the magnificent buildings
which they ravaged. This destructive feeling went on
through almost all the earlier portions of the Christian era,
and when there came the great ecclesiastical schisms and
the rising against the Roman Church, it was not surprising
that a sort of barbaric and destructive feeling also exhibited
itself on the side of Protestantism, and that religious fervour
manifested itself in the very unfortunate desire to destroy
works of art. Thus, although perhaps they could not under-
stand the motive, they must nevertheless profoundly regret
the destruction which took place at all the great monasteries
in England, and the dispersion of the monastic records, of
which even in this country they had so many signal and
interesting
examples. He was sorry to say that this disre-
gard for the records of the past had been very prominent in
England until very recently. His lordship gave an amusing
low them and a ili
account of the place in which the national records formerly
were housed,weiatrh,

powder
rbmle rooms, with
near,
cent memorials intrusted to the Dean and Chapter of West-
minster, including Doomday Book itself, were kept behind
a bakehouse and washhouse, in which large fires were con-
tinually burning. The Government were not alone in this
disregard of ancient records. for the same neglect existed,
even at the present day, among municipal bodies. He was
sorry to say there were but few towns that had not been
guilty of the same neglect with regard to their own records
or ancient buildings. As he was no longer member for Pon-
tefract, and had no constituency to please or offend (laughter)
—he might be permitted to say that the conduct of the in-
habitants of that town had not been more respectable in
this regard than that of the rest of the community. He
believed the records of that most ancient borough were
banded about at present from one solicitor's office to another,
and he regretted to say the remains of that most magnifi-
cent castle, the great border fortress and palace of the
North, which ought to have been guarded with especial
care by the public and the municipal authorities, was now
converted into a ground for growing liquorice, and let for
£3O a year. (Laughter.) There was no use attempting to
conceal this, because he held in his hand an invitation from
the Mayor and Corporation of Pontefract, asking them to
go on Thu rsday and witness the state of things for them-

selves, He was bound to say ho considered this a very
shameless proceeding—(laughter)—and the only result he
could hope for was, that the association would make such a
row about it that a better state of things might bo produced
and that what was left of that magnificent castle might be
put in a snore honourable and secure condition. (Applause.)
But it is not only the Government and the corporations who
are to blame, even private families are equally neglectful
of their papers, and often very important records that might
throw light on the history of the county are kept in the
housemaid's closet, to be used as waste paper. His lord-
ship adduced several instances of such neglect in this
county. The interest now generally felt in antiquities
may, he said, be considered of modern origin, end an
antiquary was, even within recent times, despised as an idle
collector of useless rubbish. The mere collection of anti-
quities, however, was not enough ; the mere reverence for
the past was not enough. Collecting itself was a very
useful thing. Never stop a child who shows a taste for
eel/v.llns. anything, Boys collecting birds' eggs, or girls
