SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BRIGHTON RACES—WEDNESDAY.
SECOND DAY.
Two or three hours of heavy rain that fell soon after mid-
night had materially improved the ground to-day, and re-
freshed the external world generally. We are happy to
say that young Drew, who met with such a serious accident
yesterday, was reported as being in a more favourable con-
dition this morning, and, though far from out of danger,
yet hopes are entertained that, with youth and condition on
his side, he may get over it. Much sympathy was expressed
for him by all classes.

The programme of the day's sport, although exhibiting a
falling off as compared with that of the opening day, was,
upon the whole, quite up to what was anticipated. The Cup
was expected to bring together Atherstone, Fairwater, and
Caller On; while the Champagne Stakes boasted, in addi-
tion to these throe, the names of Queen of Triimps, Umpire,
and Tippler. True, the Brighton Biennial, by the presence
of Fille de l'Air, threatened to possess little interest for the
public ; but the various handicaps, especially the Pavilion
had capital entries, and reflected great credit on the energy
of Mr. Dorling. Some of these expectations were, however,
doomed to disappointment. Caller Ou scared away all her
competitors for the Cup, and a walk over was the conse-

quence.
The Pavilion and Ovingdean Handicaps each brought ten
horses to the post, but the victories in both cases were
easily gained, and Fille de l'Air, as had been anticipated,
secured the Two-year-old Stakes for Count de Lagrange
without a struggle. In consequence of these walks over
the committee added 100 sovereigns only to the cup in lieu
of 200, and 50 to the Biennial Stakes. There remained
only the Champagne Stakes to revive the interest which
these disappointments had caused to languish. Four ap-
pared to contest the prize, for which Fairwater was selected
to do battle for the talent, as little as 6 to 4 being readily
taken about her, which had a depressing effect upon Um-
pire and Tippler ; the latter, however, was supported with
some spirit by his noble owner and friends, and, as the result
will show, fully justified the confidence reposed in him, as he
won with great ease by five lengths. Umpire, as usual, ex-
hibited his temper after descending the hill, and in conse-
quence was immediately out of the race.
During the intervals of the race some attention was
turned to speculation upon forthcoming events, the Leger of
course taking precedence. But little or no change of moment
was made manifest in the quotations of the favourites, as
given in our last, if we except the demonstration made
against Lord Clifden. Mr. Jackson, after some little badi-
nage, with his noble owner, offered 11,000 to 1,000 against
him, which was immediately accepted by Lord St. Vincent,

with an intimation that it could be repeated, which met with
a goodnatured refusal on the part of the layer.
Subjoined are full details of the day's running.

agst Topsy, 100 to 12 agst Cheerful, 10 to 1 each agst
Kingswood and Bolero, and 100 to 8 each agst Heart of
Oak and Tolurno.

A long delay at the post was followed by a straggling
and unsatisfactory start. Tolurno having a slight advan-
tage made play for a few strides, when he was headed
by Cheerful, who came on with a commanding lead, fol-
lowed by Heart of Oak, Kingswoed, and the favourite, the
others headed by Spencer and Corona going close in their
wake. Rounding the bend, Tippler gradually improved his
position, and on reaching the bottom he obtained the second
place, followed by Kingwood and Heart of Oak to the
enclosure, when Judd called upon the favourite, but failed to
reach Cheerful, who won in a canter by three lengths, four
lengths separating the second and third. Topsy, who was
left at the post, passed a lot of the putting up horses, and
finished fourth, and Tolurno fifth ; Heart of Oak and Bolero
were the next two.

Zora slipping her horses immediately the flag was lowered
came on with a decided lead, waited upon by Curie, Dictate!,
Birdlime, and Creole to the bottom, where Zora was headed
by Birdlime, who in a few strides after was followed by
Creole, the three singlingthemselves out, and coming on nearly
abreast to the stand enclosure, where Zora gave way, leaving
Birdlime to canter in the winner by four lengths ; Zora ob-
taining the barren honours of second by half a length, Dic-
tator was fourth, close up, and Curie next ; the others were
widely spread, the last two being Queen Elizabeth and the
Longstock Lass colt.

Betting-6 to 4 agst Fairwater, 9to 4 agst Umpire, 4to
1 agst Tippler, and 6 to 1 agst Waterwitch.
Umpire was the first off, and made the running for the
first quarter of a mile, when he was headed by Fairwater,
who, with Waterwitch on the lower ground, and Tippler on
the whip hand, came on together to half way up the hill,
when they were joined by Umpire, who ran in company a
short distance, then showed temper and was out of the race.
At the stand enclosure Fairwater appeared in difficulties ;
and in a few strides further was beaded by Tippler, who
came up wide of his horses, and won with hands down by
five lengths; a like distance separated the second and
third ; Umpire was a bad fourth.
