SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BEDFORD RACES.-WEDNESDAY.

This meeting was brought to a close without any im-
portant transaction on the Cesarewitch calculated to affect
the position of the two favourites, both of whom were re-
markably firm throughout. Although tho racing to-day
was an improvement on that of the previous day, the sport
was of a very moderate character, but there was some very
heavy wagering on the several events, chiefly in fa+our of
backers. The weather was beautiful, although terribly hot,
as there was not a breath of air to cool the atmosphere ;
but the attendance was a falling off from the opening day,
although then very small. The nuisance of the starting
difficulty was fully experienced, long and tedious delays
occurring before a start could be effected, and the difficulty
has so increased that some stringent measure should be
taken to prevent such disgraceful delays as occurred dur-
ing the meeting. The following return contains every
feature of the sport, together with a list of the few animals
inquired after for the Cesarewitch :
The Hunters' Stakes of 25 sovs, added to a Sweepstakes of
5 sovs each, for three-yr-olds and upwards ; selling
allowances; gentlemen riders; professionals 6lb extra.
About one mile.

Betting—Even agst Target, 6 to 1 each agst Camillus
and Chelmsford, 7to 1 agst Bunch, and 10 to 1 agst any
other. After several false starts they were dispatched in
straggling order, Corinthian Tom making play, followed by
Target, who, however, soon took the lead and Corinthian
Tom gave way to Chelmsford and Bunch. The latter joined
the favourite on making the bend, but Target came away
at the commencement of the enclosure and won cleverly by
three parts of a length ; Chelmsford a bad third ; Corin-
thian Tom fourth, close up; Young Slowman walked in
with the crowd. The winner was bought in for 110 guineas.

first-named winning by a neck; two lengths separated

the lead after going 50 yards, and never being after-

THE IMPROVED MOCASSIN BOOT.—" If you wish
to rest after a long ride," Sir Walter Scott advised, "take
a long walk." There is philosophy here, and the poor man
practises it, who leaves off work and goes to skittles. But
Sir Walter was a rational being, and wore his shoes made
in conformity, and not opposed to, the shape of his foot.
It is thii common-sense view of a simple fact which in-
duces the more refined pedestrian, the scientific angler, and
the intelligent sportsman to make a selection (ere they
venture amongst the mountains and streams) of boots after
the Fagg Brothers' Mocassin principle, in which a man
may walk until doomsday and have no more complaint to
make against the envelopes of his feet than of the feet
themselves. Indeed, when he returns to his iun, will feel
little desire to exchange the comfort of a glove-like fit,
with a perfect freedom of action, for oven the proverbial
ease of the slipper. The counter-sinking of the heel
of the boot is a truly scientific notion, and most effec-
tually keeps the foot from all friction and attendant irrita-
tion.
