SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

HAMPTON RACES.— 17 IeTFIIDA r.
The best attended and most profitable meeting ever known
ott Moulsey Hurst terminated yesterday with two very indiffe-
rent races. Our previous notices will have enabled our
readers to form a tolerably correct estimate of the general
character of the meeting—that estimate cannot be otherwise
Illan unfavourable to the management, which, to use the
mildest terms, has been marked by a total absence of energy
and liberality. In the shape of subscriptions, rents for booths
and stands, and charges for the admission on the course of
horses and carriages, several hundred pounds must have been
collected, yet the insignificant additions to the stakes for the
three days amounted to only 1601., while, to protect the thou-
sands who partook of the " tempting" bill of fare provided,
eleven policemen, under an inspector were engaged t At the
Hippodrome races there were three hundred. It was fortu-
nate that the inspector ( Haining) was powerful as well as
"filling, and that his men were equally zealous, or the robbe-
ries committed would have been more numerous than they
were. To enforce a continuance of the patronage bestowed
on these ill-managed races a better spirit must be shown—
the public additions must be doubled, and a sufficient police
force engaged to keep the pickpockets and thimble:nen in
check, and otherwise keep order on the raceground.
The weather yesterday was fine, and the company larger
than on any third day within our recollection. There were
sevpral fashionables present, but as we have already given
their names it would be waste of space to repeat the list. The
running came off as follows:—
The Hurst Cup Stakes of 5 soya each, with 25 sovs. added; three
yrs, 7st. 41b ; four, Bst. 101 b ; five, 9st. 21b ; six and aged, 9st.
51b. Mares and geldings allowed 31bs. ; winners once in 1837
to carry 31bs., twice, Sibs., and thrice, 71bs. extra. The winner
of the Claremont or Waterloo, 71bs. extra. The winner to be
sold for 120, &c. Heats, once round and a distance. 7 Subs.
Sir G. Heathcote's b. f. La Meprisc, 3 yrs Nat 1 1
Mr. Smith's Mozart, 5 yrs 0 2
Captain Williamson's Brookland, 4 yrs 2 0
Mr. Shelley's Reuben, 6 yrs ...
Mr. Bacon's Nelson, 3 yrs
First Heat-5 to 4 agst Nelson, and sto 2 agst La Me-
prise.—Brookland made running, followed by Rueben and
Nelson, to the distance, where the filly gave them the go-by,
and won easy. In the second heat the running was made in
the same way, except that Mozart followed the filly from the
distance, and enabled his owner to claim.
In our account of the last race on Thursday we omitted to
state that Nelson was claimed by Mr. Bacon.
The Bushy park Hurdle Stakes of 5 soya each, with 25 added,
list. each. Mares and geldings allowed 31bs., and half-bred
horses 71bs. Two hurdle leaps. Winner to be sold for 100
sovs., &c. Heats, once round and a distance. 6 Subs.

Mr. Waldegrave's The Baron, aged ... 0 3
lir. Stevens's True Blue, 6 yrs 3 0
Mr. Nashe's Chaffeutter, late Bras de Fer, aged... 0 0
First Heat—Even on Vandyke, who took the lead, followed
by True Blue, The Captain lying up with them to the last
turn, where he took up the running, and won easy. In the
second heat The Baron made the play, the other four lying
clustered at his heels. They travelled in this order to the last
turn, where The Captain went up inside, and ran alongside
the Baron, who bad all the best of the race till within two or
three strides, where, by Captain Becher's admirable jockey-
ship, The Captain caught him, and won by a neck. The
second place was given by the Judge to Vandyke, and by all
the spectators to The Baron, who, with a jockey of professional
experience, would in all probability have won. Previous to
starting The Captain was objected to, as not having beer, pro-
Brly named, but the objection was overruled by the Duke of
Beaufort.

CRICKETING.
The grand annual match with the Royal Amateur Society
of Cricketers came off on Wednesday last at Hampton Court-
green; the players being selected by Mr. Hodge, the celebrated
bowler, of Mile-end, and Mr. Banks, of the Old Canonbury
Club. The following particulars will best show the state of
the game, and the respective merits of each party, the affair
being well contested, and at the conclusion Mr. Hodge's side
was left in the minority by eight runs. The interest created
during the entre and exit of the last wickets was exceedingly
amusing, and afforded a wide field for fun and jocularity, owing
to the anxiety on the part of Mr. Hodge's partisans to win the
match if possible, Mr. H. having been defeated on the previous
anniversary; but, however, the affair terminated otherwise,
and quite contrary to their expectations. Messrs. Ashby and
Smith, of Marylebone Ground, were the umpires, and their
decision gave general satisfaction. Messrs. Byron and Gooc.
were the scorers, whose attention and accuracy were equally
approved of.

PRINTERS' PENSION SOCIETY.—The Anniver-
sary Dinner of this Society took place yesterday, at the Lon-
don Tavern, Bishopsgate-strcet. A highly respectable com-
pany of about 150 gentlemen sat down to an excellent din-
ner; the Right Honourable Sir Launcelot Shadwell, Vice-
Chancellor of England, in the chair. The funds of the
society were stated to be in a healthy condition, and the sub-
scriptions of the evening amounted to 1681. 12s. Altogether
the most cheering prospects appeared to be presented, and the
company departed at a very late hour, apparently highly
gratified by the result of the evening's proceedings.
The crops in this neighbourhood have all im-
proved very much within the last ten days, and in most. si-
tuations the wheat looks well, though backward ; the oats
seem fast recovering the attack of and the seeds are
good in general. The trifolium incarnatunt now in full
flower. Turnip sowing is going on well ; the fallows work
well, and though the harvest must he backward, there is at
present no reason why there should 110 t 43 AYffai,te crop.—
