SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

OMEAM RACES-TUESDAY.

The Hampshire "campaign" opened on Bartley-heath
to-day. The attendance was very large—much larger, in
fact, than has been known for somo years. The weather,
which is generally wet at Odiham during the races, was an
agreeable exception, which was enjoyed by the numerous
company of ladies who graced the stands and carriages.
The influential supporters of the turf and the bookmaking
fraternity wero amply represented, the ring being well
filled. There were no special features in the racing re-
quiring comment here ; suffice it to say, the day was gene-
rally a disastrous one for backers. The principal race of
the day, the Odiham Handicap, brought out but four of the
22 "coloured," the winner turning up in the outsider Sur-
ney, aft.r a good race. The following are full details of

the running :

of the course, showed in front, followe'd by Portugal and
Viper next the rails. Within the distance Viper drew up
to Thor, whom he challenged opposite the Stand, but never

play, followed by Harkaway and Basquine, the favourite
lying last. After going about three-quarters of a mile
Harkaway drew up to. Surney and took the lead for a few
strides, after which the pair ran side by side, closely fol-
lowed by Basquine. Trapeze dropped back some three or
four lengths, till near the half mile post, when he drew up,
and the gnat-tett entered straight in compact order. Half
way up Trapeze was beaten and dropped back, and at the
distance the race appeared to rest between Surney and
Harkaway, who commenced an interesting struggle, but
Basquine coming again (though ridden from the distance)
opposite tho stand, headed Harkaway, but never quite

half a length from Basquine ; Trapeze was several lengths
