SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET JULY MEETING.-TIILIRSDAY.

The extension of this meeting to four days has not had a
good effect on the sport. The events spread over the week
might well have been confined to the original three days of
which the July was formerly composed. The effect of the
alteration has been that the programme of to-day and yes-
terday, if ran at a country meeting, would have gone far to
ruin it. Fifty Pound Plates and Ten Soy. Sweepstakes,
the weariest of plating form, has been the order of things,
and, with tho exception of the July, the Exeter, and the
Chesterfield Stakes, there has been really nothing to inte-
rest. We trust the Jockey Club will either see the neces-
sity of providing better entertainment for man and horse,
or return to the old order of the three days. An additional
hardship this year has been inflicted on one of the best
conducted and most flourishing of our country meetings,
Worcester, by its being brought into antagonism with that
at head quarters. The Chesterfield S takes was the only event
worth encountering the opprest,ye heat of the day to see.
The Student, with a 71b penalty, was to prove if he had
any pretension to be considered a racehorse, the best of
public form opposed to him being Dalesman, Plutus, and
Jack-in-the-Green. He wag about equal favourite with the
last-named, and before they had gone half the distance the
two singled themselves out and ran home, Mr. Merry's
colt, with always much thebest of it, winning very easily
by three lengths.
