SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BRIGHTON RACES—THURSDAY.
A stiff breeze and a promise of rain, combined with a not
over-attractive bill of fare, tended to considerably diminish
the numbers on the Downs to-day. Indeed, the Club-day
never attracts the general public equally with the other two,
and the attendance is, therefore, principally limited to
owners of horses, those horse sportsmen to whom racing is
almost the end and aim of their existence, and the business
fraternity, to whom a race is a mere subject of speculation,
and nothing more.

We regret to add that the slight hopes entertained during
the day about Drew's probable recovery were not destined to
be realised. He expired between 6 and 7 last evening, hav-
ing remained in a state of insensibility to the last.
A Plate of 100 sovs, given from the Brightou Race Fund,
