SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET SPRING MEETING.

The welcome rain, never so anxiously longed•for as in
this week, when the Heath has been a perfect Sahara,
came this morning, and we have been enabled to enjoy the
racing without the annoyance of dust and wind. The One
Thousand does not, of course, boast the great features of
interest that last Tuesday's event exhibited. It is, indeed,
rarely mentioned in the racing world until the evening
before its decision, and this year there was no exception
to the rule. Gardevisure, Siberia, and White Duck were
the fillies from whom by their public performances last
year it seemed reasonable to expect the winner would
come. Nukuheva and La Fortune were both mentioned
in the betting "last night, but the former is in the same
stable as Siberia, and it seemed too much to believe that
Count de Lagrange would add another score to the list of
French successes with the latter.
There was not much in the other events on the card
calling for remark. Warrior found the hill at the end of
the Rowley mile did not suit a roarer, and Tomato had not
much difficulty in disposing of the class of animals she met
in the Handicap Plate, A. F. Mr. Naylor, who has been
singularly unfoi tunate lately, saw his colours in the van
in the Handicap Sweepstakes over the T. Y. C., Fiancée
overthrowing a great favourite in Mr. Heathcote's Skir-
mish, said to have been tried with Gemma, so that he could
not lose.

Judging by the betting, nothing was in the great race
but Gardevisure and Siberia, the shouts of "10 to 1 bar two"
being the cry most heard from the ring. Mr. Sutton's filly
was the actual favourite out of the 11 who came to the
post, but the result proved that, speedy though she is, she
can't stay. Looking very formidable at one time she gave
way before reaching the distance, where Siberia took the
lead and, shaking off White Duck and La Fortune, landed
the popular colours of the Duke of Beaufort very easily.
The attendance to-day was an average one as regards
numbers, though most of the leading habitues were present.
Plate of £lOO for 3-yr-olds and upwards, weight for age.

Lytham, in the centre, made the running, followed by
Creslow, May Bloom, and the favourite to the bushes,
where Creslow dropped back, and his place was taken by
Warrior as they entered the Abingdon Mile bottom. Half-
way in the cords, Lytham was joined by the grey and
Viceroy, the three finishing a good race home, Lytham
winning by three parts of a length; a length between the
second and third ; a bad fourth.

They got away in close company, but after running a
short distance Tomato on the right took a slight lead, fol-
lowed wide on her left by Verdant ; two lengths in the
rear of the pair were Fantail, Tusculanum, and Target,
Antoinette lying off. With little or no alteration they ran
thus to the bushes, when the leaders drew away and came
into the cords together, but shortly after Fantail gave way
and was headed by Tusculanum; the latter, however, was
never enabled to reach the leaders, who finished a close
race home, Tomato running the longest,winning by a neck ;
a bad third.

Foxholes, in the centre of the course, got away with a
slight lead of the favourite; the Senorita colt, Hope, and
Yamuna, Fiancée lying off. On entering the dip a quarter
of a mile from home, the leader gave way, and Mr. Naylor's
mare joined the leaders, the three finishing a close race
home. Fiancée, who got up on the last stride, won by a
neck from the favourite, who broke his stirrup leather ;
half a length separated the second and third. Foxholes was
fourth, Hope fifth, and Rose of Denmark and Yamuna next.

agst White Duck.
With a slight delay at the post a most satisfactoly start
was effected, when Kate Hampton on the upper ground got
away with a slight lead of Siberia, the
pair being attended
on the left by Gardevisure, La Fortune, Nukuheva, White
Duck, and Miss Hobble, and on the extreme right by Regi-
nella, Contract, Peeress, and Biondina. They came on in
these positions to the first half of the Abingdon Mile end-
ing post, where Siberia headed Kate Hampton and came on
in advance, having Gardevisure wide on her left, with Kate
Hampton, La Fortune, and White Duck lying up, but as
they reached the cords Mr. Sutton's filly, who appeared
full of running, suddenly shot up, followed in a few strides
further, by Kate Hampton. These retirements left La
Fortune in attendance upon the Danebury favourite, but
half-way in the cords Ashmall brought up White Duck,
and heading the French filly he challenged Siberia a dozen
strides from the chair, but failed to get up, and was beaten
very easily by a length and a half, White Duck defeating La
Fortune by a head only for second ; Gardevisure finished a
bad fourth ; Miss Hobbie fifth, Nukuheva sixth, and Kate
Hampton next. Then came at wide intervals Reginella,
Peeress, Contract, and Bionchna in the order we have given
them.
