SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET SECOND SPRING MEETING.
NEWMARKET, SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
This Meeting, although generally productive of good
sport, is of inferior importance to either of the preceding,
nearly all the horses intended to run for the Derby and
Oaks having by this time started for Epsom. The races,
therefore, are merely for amusement, and with the York
Spring Meeting, fill up the gap which would otherwise
ensue between the First Spring and the Epsom weeks.
The appearance of the list justifies an expectation that th re
will be plenty of running ; and, as many of the stakes and
plates will be handicapped, it is also fair to conclude that
it will b 3 good. There is one stakes to be decided
which, from its unusual value, requires particular notice :
It is for five hundred sovereigns each, eleven subscribers,
and of these eleven there is not one good horse
left, so that it is not likely there will be more
than two or three start for it, as the others will,
no doubt, prefer paying the 200 sovereigns forfeit. Lord
Mountcharles's Gayhurst, by Whalebone, out of Spree's
dam (entered in Lord Egremont's name), and Lord Gros-
venor's Ebury, it is thought, will go for it. Tyke and
another or two are also talked of, but it is doubtful whether
more than we have above spoken of will come to the post,
for even at Newmarket five hundreds are not so plentiful
as they were a few years back. There are three or four
plates down, and none of them have the strange conditions
for starting introduced by his Grace the Duke of Portland
in the last meeting. We presume, therefore, that the un-
ftvourable opinion of it so generally expressed has induced
his Grace to abandon it. The Whip may be challenged
for either to-morrow or Tuesday, under the usual con-
ditions, viz. to stake 200 sovereigns each, p.p. and run
the B.C. on Tuesday, in the Second October Meeting,
carrying ten stone each. The Whip is now in the
possession of Mr. Gully, who won it last October with
Mameluke against Lamplighter. As there is no Mame-
luke in that stable now, and several horses who can go
the distance and carry the weight, it is probable that the
Whip may again change hands. In our former reports
we omitted to mention that many very important altera-
tions and improvements have recently been effected here,
not only as regards the race courses and training ground,
but on those points u hick comprehend the comfort and
accommodation of visitors. Formerly the average number
of race horses returned to the Club was a hundred and
sixty, now "there are upwards of four hundred, this
increase being attributable to the extensive additions
made under the directions of the present Stewards,
the Duke of Richmond, Lord Lowther, and Mr. Bat-
son. Until lately it was the custom of the Jockey
Club to require every trainer to give a return of the
number of race horges in his stable, and pay one guinea
for each horse, towards defraying the expence of repairing
the course and exercise ground ; it was discovered, how-
ever, that the returns were not so exact as might have been
expected from the general punctuality of the Newmarket
trainers ; a meeting therefore was held in the Craven
week, when the 54th rule of the Jockey Club was re-
scinded, and one substituted, which provides for the sur-
charge of one guinea upon every horse omitted in the list.
We have been informed that the collection of this rate is
farmed for 3001. a year, by those who have every oppor-
tunity of ascertaining the truth of the returns.
THE DERBY AND OAKS.

The near approach of the Epsom Meeting gives import-
ance to every movement, and as much depends in the bet-
ting upon the departure of the horses for the scene of
action, we have collected the following list of these that
have already left Newmarket :

(D.). Sir M. Wood's The Mummer
(D.) -- Cetus
Hajji Baba
(0.) Lord Sefton's Mouche
(O.) Lord Sefton's Charlotte West
(D) Mr. Rush's c. by Moses—Romp

(Three others accompany these four.)
(D.) Mr. Petre's Brunswicker
(D.) ------ The Major

(D.) Mr. Ramsbottom's Zucharelli
(D.) Duke of Portland's c. by Tiresiac—Ambiguity
c. by Tiresias—Emily
Duke of Richmond's Hindoo
Refugee
Confederacy
Juvenis
f. by Whisker—Syma
- _

Duchess

Those with the letter D placed before them are on
the Derby—those with oin the Oaks. Several others
will leave in the course of the ensuing meeting. The
horses generally are in a healty state.
Owing to the change in the weather, few arrivals have
yet taken place, nor has there been sufficient betting to al-
low a quotation. Brunswicker is not in such force for the
Derby, nor does the Mummer make any advance. Little
Red Rover continues a great favourite. Charlotte West
and Maria are in request for the Oaks, and very little be-
tween them. Carmine has been backed at IS to 1 for
this stakes. Moss Ross (a sister to Velocipede) and Lawrie
Todd are likely to become good favourites for the St.
Leger, in consequence of the clever manner in which
they won their races at Chester last week. The present
Meeting will terminate on Thursday, to give sufficient time
for the company to get to York for the Spring Meeting,
which commences to-morrow week.
