SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

HAMPTON RACES.—WEDNESDAY.
. The first day of Hampton races never produces any very
great amount of excitement, the second one being that on
which the Londoners attend in such strong force. There
was, nevertheless, the same variety of amusements on the
course as in former years, and they apparently met with a
fair amount of patronage. The stands were extremely well
filled, and on the opposite side of the running ground,
which was in very good order, a good number of drags and
carriages were assembled. The racing, a full account of
which is given below, was of such a character as to call fer
no special comment. It will be seen from the account of the
betting that most of the favourites won the different races
for which th3y competed. For the Two-Year Old Stakes
Birch Broom, with odds of 3 to 1 on him, literally cantered
in first. Buckenham and Canary were equal favourites for
the Surrey and Middlesex Stakes, and passed the post first

and second. The weather, which looked threatening all the
morning, held up capitally, there only being one shower

during the afternoon.
The Stand Plate (Handicap) of 10 soya ; for all ages.
Winners extra. Three quarters of a mile.

Cadiz, 7 to 1 agst Gem of the Sea, and 10 to 1 agst any
other.

At the first attempt they left the post in close company,

Bolero having a slight lead, which he retained for the first
50 yards, when he was pulled back, and the running was
taken up by Gem of the Sea, who, in company with Lord
Burleigh, Cadiz, Rosina, and Bolero came on in advance
into the straight, when Gem of the Sea gradually dropped
back at the distance, resigned the lead to Mr. Baker's colt,
who came on and won very easily by a length and a half,
four lengths separating the second and third ; Atlas was
fourth, Walpole fifth, and Maubourquet next; Gem of the
Sea and Rosina were the last two.

Little Go was the first off, and came on with a clear lead,
having Stonewall Jackson and the favourite as her imme-
diate followers, the others following at wide intervals. At
the distance Birch Broom came out and won in a trot by
half a dozen lengths. Elise was fourth, the Maud filly
fifth, Blight sixth, Lord of the West and Stainley were the

Peru, Rockley, Bedford, Good for Nothing, and Sevin-
ton also ran,
Betting-6 to 4 agat Dirt Cheap, 3to 1 agst Good for
Nothing, and 8 to 1 agat Vigil.
Several failures were occasioned by the majority of the
riders being over anxious, in the first of which Bedford and
Sevington ran the course, and Good for Nothing to the dis-
tance, before they could be stopped. When they got away
Vigil jumped away with a clear lead, waited upon by Good
for Nothing, the favourite, and Fitz Ruyter to the distance,
when Dirt Cheap went to the front and won in a canter by a
length and a half. There were three lengths bet ween the
second and third, Rockley was fourth, Good for Nothing
fifth, Sevinton next, Peru and Bedford the last two. The
winner was bought by Mr. W. Robertson for 210 guineas.

Brian Boru, Gasconade, and Truant.
Betting-9 to 4 each agst Buckenham and Canary, 6to 1
agst Truant, and 100 to 7 agst any other.
Immediately they reached the post Mr. Marshall got them
in a line, and at once despatched them. Gibraltar, after
running a few strides, was indulged with the lead, followed
next the rails by Flash-in-the-Pan, Brian Boru, Truant,
and Canary, in the order we have given, the latter being
two or three lengths in advance of Buckenham, who brought
up the rear division. Passing the stand Flash-in-the-Pan,
making use of his lenient weight, went to the fore, and
somewhat improved the pace, Gibraltar going on second, at
whose quarters were Mr. Bryan's eolt,Truant, Walpole,and
Canary, the lot, as they ascended the hill,spreading widely.
As they rounded the top turn Flash-in-the-Pan had placed
several lengths between himself and followers, but as they
proceeded along the far side he appeared to come back to his
immediate followers, and they ran almost abreast to the
three-quarters of a mile post. Here they split, and Canary
at once took the command,waited upon by Gibraltar, Truant,
Brian Boru, Walpole, and Buckenham, the latter, appa-
rently full of running, waiting until they entered the
straight,when he ran past his horses, and took his place on
the inside, next the rails, at the girths of Canary, who was
in trouble at the distance, when Goater brought his horse
to the front and won with consummate ease by two lengths ;
Canary,who ran an exceedingly game horse, defeating Wal-
pole by a length and a half for the second money. Gibraltar
was fourth, Flash-in-the Tan fifth, and Brian Boru sixth,
Gasconade and Truant were pulled up, and did not pass the
post.
The Claremont Stakes of 10 sovs each, 5 ft, with 50 added,
for 2-yr-olds; colts, Bst 101 b, and fillies, Bst 71b. Winners

Betting-6 to 4 agst Black Friar, 3to 1 each agst Lady
Nichol and Lady Warwick, and 4 to 1 agst Woodcraft.
Lady Nichol jumped away with a alight lead, which she
held into the straight, where the favourite came out and won
in a canter by ten lengths; the others beaten away.

soya each, for 3-yr-olds and upwards. Weight for age.

Mr. Ellison's Kennett, 3 yrs, 7st llb (L 40).... (Cannon) 3
The following also ran :—Atlas, Bedford, Sanita, Sevin-
ten, and The Idea.
The bettig opened at 7 to 4 agst Ossian, and closed at
6 to 4 agst Kennett, 100 to 30 agst Ossian, and 6 to 1 agst
Baliverne.

After one failure they left the post in company, but after
running a few strides Baliverne obtained possession of a
decided lead, followed by Ker nett, Sanita, Ossian, and The
Idea into the straight, when Sanita dropped back, and
Ossian, in the centre of the course, joined Banyan°. At
the distance Mr. Greville's colt got his head in front, and
won, after a very fine race home, by a neck, three lengths
separating the second and third. The Idea was fourth, and
Sevinton next. Atlas, Bedford, and Sanita were the last
three, who pulled up nearly abreast.
The winner was sold to
,Capt. Handley for 115 guineas.
