SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

EPSOM RACES—TUESDAY.
The first day of this most important meeting opened in
a most inauspicious manner so far as the weather was con
cerned. At early morn the rain was descending in torrents,
and continued till noon, when it somewhat abated. Showers,
however, wore prevalent during the who!e of the afternoon.
The wind was exceedingly boisterous, and long before the
racing commenced had thoroughly stripped the roofs of the
tents situated to windward of the Grand Stand of their can •
vas covering, Before the commencement of the afternoon's
sport very little Derby betting took place. Shortly before
the first race Tambour Major had a gallop over the Derby
course, Loiterer leading him. We did not, however, hear
one word in praise of his style of going; on the contrary,
he was pronounced by good judges to be an extremely
clumsy, round-actioned horse, and, moreover, to show con-
siderable temper at starting. Fantastic is evidently
much fancied by those connected both with the horse and
the stable, an 3, knowing as we do that he has achieved all
the victories in his trials, he will no doubt run a very good
horse. The lameness of which there was so much talk
some three weeks back was simply an inflamed heel, and no
unsoundness whatever. Of Lord Clifden we had most
flattering reports, and fully expect to see him repay those
who have placed faith in his prowess. As regards the other
animals in the race, there was no demonstration worthy of
note. The racing during the afternoon was chiefly remark-
able for the overthrow of the favourites, and the tolerably
easy victory of the French mare Fille de PAir in the Wood-
cote Stakes, beating Molly Carew, who was backed for so
large an amount that she became a very decided favourite.
For the Heathcote Stakes Miss Julia was backed very
freely, and looked very much like winning till opposite
the Stand, when Livingstone settled her pretensions to
first honours. In the Rous Stakes Gardener and
Ace of Clubs were most fancied, but they had
to succumb to Wingrave, who won very easily.
The rain has done an immensity of good to the running
ground, which instead of being as hard as adamant, is now
very fair going. The trains ran in admirable order, and,
as far as we could learn, conveyed their living freights in
perfect safety and confort. As full particulars of the run-
ning will be found given below, no further remarks need be
made here. We may just mention that the ring for the
members of Tattersall's and the Rooms at Newmarket still
appears to be unpopular with the many. There are many
gentlemen who like to have their " tenner" or "pony" on a
race at the " Derby time" who would never think of doing
so at the majority of race meetings, much less become mem-
bers of such institutions as those before mentioned, and,
consequently, have to bet " outside" ; where, however, a
great number of very respectable baokmakers afford them
that opportunity.

The Craven Stakes of 10 soya each, with 50 soya added, for
3-yr-olds and upwards, Weight for age. The last mile
and a quarter of the new Derby Course. 10 subs.

A capital start was effected after one slight failure,

rushed past his horses, and came on with the lead, Comet
shortly after dropping into the third place, the pace mend-
ing considerably as they came down the hill. Rounding
the turn into the straight Brother to Morocco gave way, and
his place was taken by Adventurer, who came on in waiting
to half in the distance,where Atherstone was beaten, leaving
Comet and Isoline in front, but who were headed at the
enclosure by Adventurer, who won in a canter by three
lengths, Isoline beating Comet by a neck for second. Ather-

100 to 15 agst Queen of the Vale.

In consequence of King of the Forest refusing to face his
horses, and several breaks away, the start was delayed some
time. When the flag was lowered Miss Julia, as usual, was
the first away, and came on with a clear lead in the centre
of the course, having Livingstone wide on her right, with
whom came Queen of the Vale and Welland, the latter lying
next the rails on the upper ground, the others widely
spread, being headed by Mysterious Lady. Half way in
the distance the Baron's filly was in difficulties, leaving the
three leaders to fight it out; Livingstone got to the favou-
rite's head opposite the Stand, where Custance made his
effort, thence a splendid race ensued, Livingstone winning
in the last stride by a neck, a like distance separating the
second and third. King of the Forest was fourth, and
Queen of the Vale fifth, the others were pulling up as they
passed the post.

Spicebox, and 10 to 1 agst any other.
Lady Fanny,being the quickest beginner, got away with
a clear lead, followed by Libellous, Queen of the Vale, El
lerton, and Drummer Boy, a wide interval separating these
from Lord of Linne and Ossian, who headed the ruck. At
the distance the leader died away, leaving Libellous in pos..
session of the lead, closely attended by Ellerton, Drummer
Boy, Spicebox, and Suburban, to the Stand, where Drum-
mer Boy came out and won, after a fine race in, by half a
length ; a neck between the second and third ;

was a good fourth, Lady Fanny fifth, Suburban sixth, and

Upwards of 30 minutes were consumed before Mr.
M'George was enabled to despatch them from the post, the
lead being immediately taken by the Nourmahal colt, who
was shortly after passed by Procella, the Rosina colt, Sister
to Queen of the Vale, Molly Carew, and Fills de l'Air, who
a llreetiisdt
for second. The Rosina
came on in a cluster to the turn, where Procella gave place
to the Rosina colt, wno held a clear lead to the distance,
when the favourite and Fine de l'Air joined issue, and ran
together to half-way up, when the French filly came out

lent start. The favoutlt_e,. after running a few strides,
went to the front, and with the Gunner, Umpire, and Ace
of Clubs lying up, came on with the running, ringrave,
next the rails, heading the rear division. On rounding the
turn Gunner dropped back, and the leaders were joined by
