SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING,
TUESDAY.
The crowd usually convened on the borders of Suffolk
and Cambridgeshire for the Cesarewitch Day began to as-
semble at an early hour; a heavy train from Bisbopsgate
arrived half an hour behind its time on Monday evening,
and a special in the morning brought so vast an increase
that the largest number of pedestrians ever seen upon New-
market-heath appeared there on the eventful morning of
the monster handicap. The doors of the subscription room
were crowded by 10 o'clock, and the street before it thronged
with sightseers and market people. All seemed determined
to back their fancy, and the universal question was " What
will win ?" Outsiders of all descriptions found friends at
prices approaching the fabulous, but nothing shook public
opinion with regard to the American horse Umpire, who
increased in favour as time rolled on, and at starting was
an extraordinary favourite.
Four races were fixed to be run before the great one and
four after it, but the leading feature of the day engrossed
almost undivided attention, and but little note was taken of
any other except the Clearwell. The great race was run at
a quarter before 4 o'clock, in consequence of the restivenesi
of one horse and the falling of his jockey. Hartington, the
winner, showed wonderful gameness, being so lazy a horse
that his little jockey had to use his whip at more than a
mile from home. The Clearwell again displayed the good
fortune of the French stable with 2-yr-old horses, Hospodar
winning very cleverly, and being afterwards backed for the
Derby.

Sweepstakes of 5 sovs each, for 2-yr-olds and upwards ;
weight for age; the winner to be sold for 70 soya. Rut-

Ducat jumped awey with a slight lead, which he held for
a few strides, when he was joined by Merry Maid, the
pair racing for the lead, closely followed by Man-at-Arms
and Lopcatcher to half-way up the Bushes-hill, where the
young one drew away and won very easily by a length ;
four lengths between the second and third ; Lopcatcher and
Gleam were the next, close up.

Betting-5 to 2 agst Maid of Honour, 6 to 1 each agst
Estrelda and Tipperary Girl, and 8 to 1 agst Erythia.
After a few failures the flag was lowered to an admirable
start. The favourite, being quickest on her legs, got away
with a clear lead, followed on the whip hand by Estrelda,
Coppall, and Presumption to half-way in the cords, where
the latter ran past the horse and took the second place, but
was never enabled to reach Maid of Honour, who woe in a
canter by three lengths, Presumption beating Estrelda by

Exactly 30 minutes after the time set down for the start
the white flag was lowered on the ditch, and in a few seconds
after the horses were seen widely spread across the course
coming through the gap, but in consequence of the haze
that hung over the heath it was with extreme difficulty their
colours could be distinguished; but as near as we coulddis -
cern the leading division comprised Stradella, Hartington,
Balham, Attaman, Wingrave, Agag, and Umpire, the lat-
ter with Asteroid, Silkstone, Myrtle, and Catch'em Alive,
lying in the centre of the course, with the others following
in a cluster, some two lengths in their rear. In this order
they came streaming across the flat, and on nearing the
bushes Stradella, Hartington, and Arioriyma, on the ex-
treme right, drew slightly away, hexing Myrtle, Umpire,
Silkstone, Balham, and Attaman on their left, with Aste-
roid and Agag in close attendance, the others on fairly
reaching the brow of the hill beginning to exhibit the effect
of the pace, which up to this point had been exceedingly
good. The first to give way was Silkstone, who, in a few
strides further, was followed by Balder, Wingrave,
Catch'em Alive, and Attaman. Half-way down the hill ,
Stradella was disposed of, and Hartington, with Myrtle,
Umpire, and Asteroid on his left, and Anonyma on his
right, came on with a clear lead into the bottom, where the
firmer swerved slightly to the left, which let up Myrtle and
Umpire, and by the latter in a few strides also ran out to the
right, and was immediately after passed by Asteroid, who
went on in waiting upon the two light weights to within a
short distance of the chair, where Wells made his effort, but
failed to get up, Hartington winning cleverly by a length,
Myrtle beating Asteroid by two lengths for second. Um-
pire was fourth, Anonyma, fifth, Stradella sixth, Balham
seventh, Chere Arnie eighth, and Bathilde and Silkstone
ninth and tenth. Then came the ruck widely distributed.
headed by Amy, Agag, and Balham, the two last being
Corona and Surrey.

EXECUTION OF 7HE RAO SAHIB.

Cawnpore, Aug. 23, 1862.
I arrived on the ground before the gaol at 5.30 a.m. on
the morning of the 21st August, where a gallows of a most
primitive style was erected—simply two uprights of about
five inches square and about ten feet apart ; a cross beam of
the same dimensions about twelve feet high, and a rope
dangling from the centre, with a common slip knot at the
end of it. About six feet high was a board with hinges,
with a prop underneath to keep it up, with a short rope at-
tached to the prop. There were a large number of natives
present. They formed a semi-circle round the gallows, but
kept at a respectable distance; and here and there yon
would see groups of the better class half hid by trees or
walls, evidently not wishing to attract attention. At this
time (5.40 a.m) Mr. L—, the magistrate, galloped up; and
the native guards (of which there were two companies) pre-
sented arms. Mr. L— at once entered the jail, and after
the irons were removed, he appeared, followed by a native
guard, in the centre of which was the wretched culprit,
looking if possible more miserable than ever. He was led
to the rear of the gallows, and there seated, while hia arms
were being pinioned. Many a wistful look he cast ro.p with
his great villainous looking eyes at the fatal noose.. At this
time he requested that his body might be given to his
mother, which was very properly refused. He then
mounted the gallows with the hangman (one of the lowest
caste of natives) behind him, and stood on that treacherous
looking board. While the rope was being adjusted he
slowly looked all round, but evidently met with no sympa-
thetic gaze; he turned his eyes upwards and his lips moved
as if speaking, but no one heard him. It is to be hoped he
was repenting of the cruel murders he had committedduring
the mutiny of 1857, but I much doubt it. The white cap
was now drawn over his face. In the meantime a native
below caught hold of the rope attached to the prop, and at
a nod from the magistrate down came the prop, and with it
the Rao Sahib. At this time it was 5.55 a.m. He struggled
for three minutes. I may mention that when the rope was
put on it was nearly taut, so he had every slight fall. After
hanging 25 minutes he was not "cut down," but the rope
loosened at the top, and he was let down into the arms of
his two attendants pro. tern., who laid him on. the ground
rather roughly. The cap was then drawn off, and his face,
as you may well suppose, did not wear the most placid.
expression. He was a man of about five feet eight inches
high, rather well made, with sharp features, and complexion
not very dark, large bushy beard and moustaches, and a
pair of most cruel and vindictive-looking eyes. He had no
clothes on further than a cloth round his loins, the usual
dress of coolies. His body was removed to the banks of the
river Ganges (close to the spot where so many of our un-
fortunate people were massacred when trping to escape in
the boats in 1857) in charge of a European inspector, and.
there completely burned, and the remains thrown into the
river. Such was the end of the great Rao Sahib, nephew of
that worthy man Nana Sahib. whose similar departure
from this world I hope to witness before long, as it is be-
lieved he is skulking about not far from this. There were
about fifty Europeans present at the execution, and. a
sprinkling of the net by any merns fair sex, as their tom-
plection was most decidedly coffee•coloured. J. C. K.
