SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET JULY MEETING.—WEDNESDAY.
The card of the day, if not equally interesting, contained
as many items as its predecessors, small handicaps being
the chief feature. Saccharometer, with his 71b penalty,
was thought fully able to compete with 17 antagonists in
the Chesterfield Stakes, and he went up the hill like a race-
horse, and won after one of the finest finishes ever wit-
neesed by a head.

Messrs. Tattersall sold the remainder of the Roydon
yearlings in the morning, and the business of the day com-
menced early; thus visitors were enabled to leave at 4
o'clock for London or for Worcester, where the Summer
Meeting takes place this day.

ever, being the quickest beginner, came on with the run-
ning, followed on her whip hand by Tubal Cain and Fig,
Baffler with Zora lying close up. On reaching the foot of
the hill the favourite was headed by Tubal Cain, who in a
few strides further was joined by Fig, the three finishing a
close race home, Tubal Cain winning by half a length; a
length separating the second and third ; Baffler was a good
fourth ; Zora beaten off.

After one failure. caused through the Brother to Morocco
and Lady Augusta breaking away, the flag was lowered,
and the lot got away nearly in a line, with the exception

the latter being left at the post. On settling into their
places The Squaw filly was the first off, followed by Lady
Augusta on the lower side, Bright Cloud, Taje, and Blue
Mantle; the favourite, who was disappointed in getting
through, had to go round, and came on next on the lower
ground, the others lying close at his heels. Descending
the hill Lady Augusta took a clear lead, leaving Blue
Mantle on her whip hand, with Bright Cloud, Armagnac,
Saccharometer, and Brother to Morocco following in close
company, in which way they ran to half up the hill for

A WORD TO 01JR LANDED GENTRY. All
landed proprietors cannot build model cottages and medi-
eval schools, but all may exert an influence of a most
beneficial character, with even small pecuniary means at
their command. The day in which we are living is one of
peculiar difficulty as regards the dealings of classes with
each other. The noknowledged tendency of all European
nations is towards democracy, though our insular position
has staved off this evil—if we may venture to call that evil
which seems, in the order of providence, to be at least one
of the phases through which the nations must pass in their
progress to the unknown hereafter—the old feudal feeling
of the poor towards the upper classes. has all but disap-
peared, though it is retained to a certain extent in the
higher classes towards them. Antagonism is too often the
consequenct, of this divergence on their part, and irritation
aanridseas in the
dishearteningthem mind
of a landlord when he finds his schemes
for benefiting his people received at best with indifference,
honest effort. Sometimes,
and too often thwarted altogether, his schools unattended,

The match between England and Scotland was
originated at the meeting last year by Lord Bury
and Capt. Ross, by whom, in fact, all its prelimi-
naries were settled and all its conditions laid down.
It has been adopted as a permanent feature in the
programme of all future annual meetings of the As-
sociation, upon the principle with regard to nation-
ality, that the test shall be paternal descent. Lord
Elcho has intimated his intention of presenting an
" Elcho Challenge Shield," and this will be the prize
shot for from year to year for ever—each of the
successful champions to receive a small prize, which
is to be paid for by the losing side. The exact na-
ture of the small prize, however, is not yet deter-
mined upon, and the shield itself is understood to be
at the present time in its first stage of manufacture.
The firing was at three ranges of 800, 90), and
1,000 yards respectively; and the number of shots
per man was larger than in any other contest of the
meeting. Usually the number of shots has been five
at each range ; in the parliamentary contest, as well
as in those between the public schools and the two
universities, the number was seven ; but in the
present instance, in order to give a better chance
of a fair average, and to shut out any probability
of the final result being materially affected by acci-
dent, it was arranged that each of the competitors
should have 15 shots at each range. Lord Bury
headed the English eight, and Captain Ross the
Scottish ; the former being distinguished by the red
cross of St. George on the right arm, and the latter
by the blue cross of St. Andrew. Of these 16
champions every one bud a reputation to sustain,
and each exerted himself like a really representative
man, and as if he imagined the honour of his nation
to rest on his individual rifle. The English eight
were Lord Bury, Captain Heaton, Sergeant Rowe,
Martin Smith, the Earl of Ducie, Halford, Halliday,
and Beasley. The Scotch eight were Captain Ross,
Lieutenant Ross (his son), the Master of Lovat,
Major Ailoir, Anderson, Fergusson, Muir, and Peter-
kin. There was an umpire chosen by each side, with
a final reference in cases of dispute to Gen. Hay.
Before the commencement of the firing there was
a strong general inclination to back the Blue Cross
of St. Andrew, but before it had advanced very far
the Red Cross of St. George rose in favour, and long
before the score was made up at 800 yards the odds
were considerably in their favour. Lord Bury led
the way with a splendid score on the English side,
but was excelled by Captain Ross, who at 800 yards
scored 52, out of 60 possible, points and hits in-
cluded ; and the English shooting was good from
first to last at this range, the Scotch being rather
unfortunate, Mr. Fergusson more particularly, who,
after carrying off the St. George's vase from nearly
100 competitors, only struck the 800 yards target
twice out of 15 shots. At the conclusion of the first
stage of the firing the English eight had beat their
northern opponents by about 50, and increased that
_IA,
tte course of the tin ev at the
the second range an
objection was taken by Captainboss, which i , f
sustained, might deprive the English of their supe-
riority. By rule 9 a miss shall be shown by a flag held
on one side or the other, high or low, to indicate the
direction in which the shot went. This was done at
the Scotch target, and the objection raised was that
throughout the first range the men on duty at the
mantelets had actually gone up to the butts to point
out the precise spot where a shot struck; and this,
it was contended by Captain Ross, had given to his
opponents a great advantage. The decision of Gen.
Hay was that since Capt. Latour, the Scotch um-
pire at the English target, had made no protest
when the practice was adopted, the objection came
too late from Capt. Ross, and could not be sustained.
Lord Elcho entirely concurred with Gen. Hay, and
the shooting proceeded, with the understanding
that either practice might be adopted, but that it
must be the same at both targets.

At the 1,000 yards range fortune declared herself
still more decisively against the Scottish Lion, for
so far as the shooting had proceeded when the gun-
fire put an end to the proceedings of the day, the
English eight had increased their majority, so that
Capt. Ross admitted, with the utmost possible good
humour, that he and his party had got " a jolly good
licking," which was strictly true. When the firing
was suspended that at the 1,000 yards range was
about half got through.
