SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING
WEDNESDAY.

Settling on the Cambridgeshire was easy, and went on
very smoothly until 12 o'clock, the time of running the
first race having been deferred by two walks over. Messrs.
Tattersall were employed in the meanwhile by selling the
first portion of Lord Stamford's draughts, which hung
rather heavily on hand. The sun shone brightly as a fair
sprinkling of company proceeded to the racecourse, where
real business commenced at a quarter before one o'clock,
and an excellent day's sport followed. Two dead heats
took place, and the greater portion of the other races were
well contested. A clever filly by Kingston—the aelebrated
Virago—was claimed for £350, and two other horses
changed owners under a similar rule during the day. One
of the dead heats was run off, and the racing ended at half-
past four o'clock.
