SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

iNfEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING,

MONDAY.

The usual vitality of a fine morning on Newmarket-
heath was displayed yesterday by long strings of horses at
exercise on each side of the town, more than a hundred
having been added by fresh arrivals to the number left
there after the last meeting. The wet weather of the two
preceding days had made people more than usually anxious
to see horses take their gallops, and many who had come on
Saturday and Sunday availed themselves of the earliest op-
portunity to take a look at those engaged in the Cesare-
witch. Betting on that race was confined before going to

the heath to the three favourites—Siikstone's public 'trial
at Doncaster and the rumoured success of both Umpire and
Balder in their trials at home causing them to be in great
demand. The surfaeo of the ground was rather soft, but
not sufficiently so to render the racecourse what is techni-
cally termed holding; old horses were, nevertheless,
spoken of as likely to reap advantage from it in the long
race of this day.
Twelve events stood upon the card for decision, the most
interesting of them being a plate of £5O, for 2-yr-olds, and
a handicap plate on the Cesarewitch course. The former
resulted in the signal defeat of the favourite and the unex-
pected victory of a nameless colt belonging to the Earl of
Glasgow; the latter in Schism beating a large field with-
out being backed, and partially restoring her stable com-
panion, Catch'em Alive, to favour. Rain coming on as the
last race was run prevented much betting taking place at
the rooms before dinner.

The October Produce Stakes of 100 sovs each, h ft, for the
produce of mares covered in 1859; colts, Bst 101 b; fillies,

Betting-6 to 4on Tassel, who made the running into
the bottom, where the non-favourite joined her for a few
strides, but shortly afterwards was beaten, leaving the fa-

The latter made play, followed by the favourite and

beaten, leaving Limosina in possession of the lead, which
she retained to the end, and won rather cleverly at last by
a head, four lengths separating the second and third.

Betting-3 to 1 agst Cellarius, 4to 1 each agst Fig and
Black Lily, and 6 to 1 agst Redpole.
When the flag was lowered the lot left the post widely
spread across the course. Lady Derby in the centre, with
Fig and Black Lily on the far side, came on in advance of
Sugarstick and the ruck into the cords, where the former
was beaten, and immediately disappeared from the front,
the lead being taken up by Black Lily, who with Fig and
Sugarstick in close attendance carried it on to the end, and
won very easily by half a length; three lengths between
the second and third; the favourite finished a wretched
fourth ; the others beaten off.

PEDESTRIANISM.

HACKNEY-WICK.
RACE BETWEEN WM. LANG (OF MIDDLESBOROUGH)
AND SAMUEL BARKER (OF BILLINGSGATE) FOR £5O AND
THE TEN-MILES CHAMPION' S CUP.—These celebrated
pedestrians first contended for the above trophy on Mon-
day, the 14th of July last, when Lang, to the surprise of
all, defeated Barker after a well-contested race.
There could not have been less than 1,000 spectators, and
when the usual preparatory matters had been adjusted, the
pedestrians some ten minutes after four o'clock came to
the scratch, having to make the start under the superin-
tendence of W. Price. The pedestrians having responded
in the affirmative to the question, " Are you ready ?" the
signal to go was given. No sooner had the lads opened to
their " work" than the lead was taken by Barker, who went
rattling along at a clipping pace, Lang so close up in the rear
that they were not more than two yards apart. In this
manner the men continued racing until going round the
bend of the course in the back stretch,whon Lang, in one of
his fine spurts, closed on his opponent, and on the termina-
tion of the mile (4 min. 56 secs.) was leading, though Sam
was so close up that the provincial did not hold the lead by
more than a yard. When they had gone by the referee for
the commencement of the second mile, and were racing up the
back stretch in.the eighth lap, another variation occurred,
Barker putting on the " electric " in a surprising manner.
The first two miles were run in 10 min. 15 sec., and when
this portion of the distance had been accomplished Barker
had the lead, though Lang was clearly making a waiting
race of it ; and had the provincial so thought proper, he
could at any time have wrested the lead from his opponent.
The whispered " griff " was now passed among Barker's
partisans that the game was, even thus early, "all up."
Barker had been taken with internal cramp, and although
he was trying to shake it off he could not succeed. As he
passed along, in the third mile, Barker's head was bent
forward with a painful expression. Barker struggled on in
difficulties to the finish of the third mile (15 min. 52 sec.),
when he was compelled to resign ; and thus left Lang in
undisputed possession of the field and of the cup. Owing
to the manner in which Barker was compelled to " cut it,"
the spectators were much disappointed, for this was fully
expected to be a match well worth witnessing.

ing wealth in, your customers .the manufacturing, miningf
e
all things, you want a prosperous community, who
can purchase your cattle and your stock, because I need not
tell you who are so far advanced in that science of agricul-
ture that that which lies at the very foundation of all scien-
tific agriculture is, the large and constantly increasing pro-
duction of the manure-producing animals, the catile and
sheep which you rear upon your land. But you cannot
find customers for that stock, which is so necessary to ad-
vanced agriculture, unless you have a thriving manufac-
turing, mining, and industrial population. You cannot
send these articles abroad. I can understand that you might
grow some commodities such as hops and other articles,
that you might send abroad, but the cattle and sheep—the
animal life that exists on your farm—must be sold to your
near neighbours, the manufacturing and industrial popula-
tion. The course I took, and the policy I advocated, was
to create a rich and prosperous community at your door,
which would.be customers for your commodities. I think
we may may now say we have succeeded in that. You have
had a constantly increasing development of wealth, a con-
stantly increasing export of yoar manufactures, and a con-
stantly increasing demand for your cattle, sheep, and wool.
These have been the foundation of your prosperity. I have
always theught that both the landowners and the farmers
took a very unworthy and ignoble view of their own interest
when they measured the value of the land only by the price
at which they could sell their wheat. Wheat, gentlemen, is
a barbarous estimate—a barbarous measure of the value of
land. Wheat was the sole dependence of your grandfathers
when living here at one quarter of the rent you now pay,
and not enjoying half the prosperity you now enjoy with
your fourfold rents. Therefore, I say, in advocating the
policy which has improved the condition of your customers,
I have been advocating your interests. 1 could not im-
prove their condition without improving yours, and your
prosperity will go on increasing so long as your customers
go on increasing in wealth, and your prosperity will begin
to decline when they begin to decay. lam sorry that at
the present moment we have for a time a great depression
in the manufacturing interest with which I have been par-
ticularly connected. I hope it will only be temporary.
(Hear.) I hope it will not last so long as to be felt by you
in your pursuits. I hope it will not be sufficient to check
the onward progress of what we have seen—a grand mani-
festation in what we have witnessed to-day. I hope you
will go on increasing in the application of steam to the cul-
tivation of the land, for that is the next step in the progress
of improvement. You must dispense as much as possible
with the old horse, the horse of muscle and flesh, and take
to the horse, which will be less costly to you, for his coals
will be less than the oats, and he will be less liable to acci-
dent or derangement than your live animals. I should,
therefore, hope the prosperity of your agriculture will ena-
ble you to go on still increasing and multiplying your in-
struments of steam power. lam exceedingly obliged for
the honour you have done me on this occasion. It is a plea-
sure I never had before of addressing a body of agricul-
turists met together to consult and to enjoy themselves
in the midst of their own peculiar pursuits; but I feel myself
highly honoured, and not out of my place in any way by
being with you to-day. (Hear, and cheers.) Mr. Cobden
concluded by proposing the health of Mr. Nisbet Hamil-
ton, remarking that while they had met in the House of
Commons on the Opposition benches, they now met in
social intercourse, and he accepted and reciprocated the
kind expressions which had fallen from him on that occa-
sion.
(Loud cheers.)

LORD PAL mERSTON'S VISIT 70

WINCHESTER.

WINCHESTER, MONDAY.

This morning Lord Palmerston visited this city
on the occasion of the inauguration of the new Dio-
cesan Training School, and his lordship's visit, as
might be supposed, had the effect of attracting an
unusual number of persons to the ceremony, which
took place in the Lecture-hall. The accommodation
of the building is very superior, both with respect
to class rooms, dormitories, dining rooms, &c. The
building stands on a gentle eminence, on a site of
five acres, which was given by the Dean and Chapter
of Winchester.
