SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING.
The weather of last week and the heavy rain of Monday
morning promised anything but ,an agreeable foul days for
the first of the autumn gatherings; but a glorious sunset
on Monday evening and a no less glorious uprising on
Tuesday morning dispelled " the winter of our discontent,"
and prepared the way for an enjoyable week. Speculation
at the Rooms on Monday night was of a very limited cha.
meter, the iwo great Handicaps being scarcely mentioned ;
indeed, but few subscribers were present.

Tbo Hopeful was rendered interesting by the debut of
Yamuna, a dark filly of Lord Stamford, who was forthwith
elected to the premiership, Fillo do l'Air, owing to her
weight, taking second place, though many were of opinion
that, as the distance (half a mile) was all in her favour,
the extra weight was of secondary importance The fa.
vourite, who never got to her horses till half..wayTup the
cords, won, however, after a good race by a head—the
French filly finishing three parts of a length from the se-
cond. It seemed no easy task to pick out the winner
from the field of 24 that came to the post for the
Great Eastern Handicap. The top weight, Welland,
and Mr. Naylor's Fiancee mere made pretty nearly
equal favourites, the former just before the race ad.
vancing to 4 to 1; but Sir Joseph Hawley's St. Alexis up-
set all the calculations of the learned, and landed " the
fielders" joyful winners, after a good race by three parts of
a length. Hengist also gave them a turn in the Bucken-
ham, defeating Mr. Merry's Fhemy filly by a neck. The
Croome Stakes brought out Lord Stamford's Derby favou-
rite, with wh ,m Durham esaayed to try conclusions, but
the race was never in doubt, and " Cambuscan bold," who
looked and went splendidly, came in an easy winner by two
lengths. The Grand Duke Michael proved the certainty for
Fantail that the betting foreshadowed, and Fordham by
hard riding won Mr. Ten Broeck his match with the Mar-
quis of Hastings. The 14th Triennial, considered a good
trial for the Ceosarewitch, brilliantly wound up the day's
sport, after an exciting struggle between Harlequin and
Hurricane, in which the latter, tiring in. the last few strides,
was beaten by a neck. There were three lengths between
the second and third.

was lott with the two. Leotard retained his advantage to
