SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

CHESTER MEETING, TUESDAY.

Owing to a drizzling rain having set in, there was a greal

_ .
deficiency in the usual amount of bustle and excitement
generally to be found here at the race time. There was by
no means a large assemblage of people on the course to cri-

ticise the appearance and style of going of the different
anima a taking their morning's exercise, but the few who
were there unanimously agreed that Stradella, the favou-
rite for the Cup, was looking all that could be wished,
Caller Ou, who galloped twice, went in most brilliant style,
and was so much fancied that 65 to 10 was taken about her.
Very little betting took place in the Subscription Rooms at
midnight, as very few members were present. The favou-
rite remained firm, and Caller On, Asteroid, and Haddiog-
ton were supported for some good money. For the Derby
Ghillie [west inquired after, but met with very little re-
sponse-1,000 to 10 agst Filibuster was laid twice, and
afterwards 1,000 to 28 was taken. Towards mid-day the
rain cleat:ed off, adding much to the enjoyment of the duy's
sport, which commenced with tin Grosvenor Stakes, fixed
for 2 15, thereby dragging out the afternoon's racing o 6
o'clock, much to the excitement of a great num,..er of those
present. Surely it would have been better to have cone.
menced business at 1 30. The racing was of such a per-
fectly wretched character that it really requires no comment
at our hands. The ground was frightfully hard, which no
doubt accounts to a great extent for the smallness of
fields. Subjoined will be found full particulars of the run-
ning.

Grosvenor Stakes of 5 soya each, with 40 added ; for 3-yr.

. -
olds and upwards; weight for age; winners extra,

and 100 to 8 agst Stockman.
At the second attempt the favourite jumped away with
a clear lead, the Cobbler going on second, with the Moun-
tain Maid filly and G psy Girl side by side next, the others,
headed by Stockman, lying up as they came along the
lee side. Nearing the Grosvenor-bridge turn Mr. God-
ding's filly quitted her position, and ran up to the favourite,
followed in a few strides after by Stockman, who waited
upon the leaders to the turn into the straight, where
the Mountain Maid filly dropped back, leaving Stock-
man in immediate attendance upon Marigold, East Lan-
cashire and Cobbler at the same time drawing forward.
At the distance Marigold drew away, and won in a
canter by three lengths, a length between the second and
third, and twice that aistance separating the third and
fourth.

5 to 1 agst any other,
Loafer was the first away, but was immediately headed
by Lady Mary and Dawdle, the former having a slight lead,
which she held to the Grosvenor turn, when Dawdle went
to the fore, and with Loafer and l'ersuasion lying up, came
on with the running to the turn into the straight, where she
was disposed of, leaving Loafer in command, closely at-
tetded by the favourite, Red Cap, and Aunt Judy to the
distance, where the two leaders drew away and finished a
fine race home, Loafer, who had always the best of it, win-
ning by a head, three lengths between the second and third.

of Trumps, 5 to 1 agst Johnny Armstrong, 6 to 1 agst
Peignoir, and 8 to 1 agst Bernice.
After several breaks away the flag was lowered to an
admirable start for the first 100 yards, when Grimshaw
pulled his mare back, and allowed Bernice, who in the next
few strides rushed to the front, to carry on the running,
having Hypermnestra, Johnny Armstrong, and Queen of
Trumps in close attendance ; the favourite, who got indiffer-
ently off, heading the rear division on the Dee side. In this
order they made the Grosvenor turn, where Flash in the
Pan ran past his horse, and took his place at the girths of
Bernice, the pair running in close company to the bottom
turn, where they were joined by Johnny Armstrong next
the rails, and Queen of Trumps on his right, the four Tun-
ing in close company to the distance, where Queen of
Trumps and Johnny Armstrong attempted to get through,
but failed ; but half-way up the former was more fortunate,
and at once assumed a decided lead, which she held to the
e
end, and won in a canter by two lengths, Bernice defeating
the favourite by a neck for second; a bad fourth.
