SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

YORK AUGUST MEETING, TUESDAY.
Seldom do we remember to have seen a race meeting
open under better auspices than that of York did yesterday,
the town being full enough of horses to satisfy the lovers
of the animal resident in the Ridings, where almost every
hill and every dale is tenanted by a breeder. Not only were
the stables occupied by horses in training, but a brood mare
or a yearling was housed in each hovel within earshot of
the Minister, ready to be led forth in the morning and dis-
posed of by the auctioneer at the Rooms ; but little busi-
ness was transacted, owing partly to the late hour at which
the London train set down its passengers on Monday even-
ing, and partly to the attraction offered by the sales before
alluded to. The programme showed a grand array of sport
for the three days ; the attendance was unusually great,
and the weather gladdening to both racegoer and agricultu-
rist, The Ebor Handicap was scarcely touched upon, the
probable retirement of more than one favourite from the
number of runners rendering the betting very capricious
during the afternoon. The day's sport, although the fields
were not large, was very interesting, the winner of the
Oaks at Epsom having redeemed the laurels she lost at
Brighton by winning the Yorkshire Oaks with ease, and
the Convivial Stakes having brought out ten two-yr-olds
to test their quality against Bluemantle, whose victories at
Ascot had rendered his name quite formidable; he was,
however, doomed to be defeated by a filly (engaged in the
Oaks) from the American stable which had run indiffe-
rently at Goodwood.
The Zetland Stakes (Handicap) of 5 sous each, with 50
added, for all ages. The second to save his stake. One

mile. 8 subs.

Betting-5 to 2 agst Vertumna, 7to 2 each agst Cru•
sade and Cheerful, and 5 to 1 agst any other.

Vertumna was the first off, but in- a few strides he was
headed by Crusade, who with Fig on her whip hand came
on with the running, waited upon by Cheerful and Ver-
turana to the distance, where Fig obtained a decided lead,
was never after fairly reached, and won cleverly by a length,
Cheerful beating Crusade by a like distance for second place,
Redpole finished a bad fourth.

Betting-6 to lon Fairwater.

The Drake made play at his best pace, followed by Vis-
count Brignall and the favourite, side by side, for the first
half mile, when Viscount Brignall quitted Fairwater and
went on second ; but on reaching the Woodside the three
got upon close terms and ran so into the straight, when
Fordham brought the favourite to Viscount Brignall's
quarters, and on reaching the distance, seeing an opening,
he split the pair, and came on with a clear lead, and won
with hands down in a canter by two lengths; Viscount
Brignall a bad third.

for 3-yr-old fillies, Bst 71b each. Winners extra. With

9 to 2 agst Feu de Joie, and 7 to 1 agst Q. E. D.
Bonny Breast 'Knot made play, but was shortly after
pulled back, and the running was taken up by Interduca,
who came on with a clear lead to the top turn, when Bonny
Breast Knot once more appeared in front, and with Lioness
and Imperatrice came on neatly abreast to the bend, where
Imperatrice appeared to have a slight lead, and in a few
strides further she was joined by Q. E. D. next the rails,
and Feu de Joie in the centre, the leaders running in close
company to a few strides within the distance, when Chal-
loner brought out his filly and immediately took a decided
lead, which she held to the end and won with great ease by
half a length. Imperatrice was a bad third, Hecate fourth,
and Lady Alice Hawthorn next, the others were pulling up
as they passed the post, which enabled the judge to place
them all.

for the produce of mares covered in 1859, to run at two
years old; colts Bst 61b, fillies Bst 21b. Those got by

able start. Livingstone, in company with
and Tornado, was the first in action, and came on slightly
in advance of the favourite, King of Utopia, and Zapateado,
heading the ruck, next the rails. In this way they ran
in close company to the distance, where Tornado came up
on the outside, and in a few strides further she headed
Lord Stamford's colt, the pair being joined at the Stand
Enclosure by King of Utopia, Blue Mantle, and Bohemia,
the five running locked together to the end, Tornado
winning rather cleverly at last by half a length, a like
distance separating the second and third, a neck between
the third and fourth. King of Utopia was a good fifth,
Zapateado sixth, and Supple next, the last of all being'
Borealis.

Zet!and made play to the turn, in front of the Dring-
houses, where Piccador rushed to the front, and soon held
a commanding lead, the favourite going on second, with
Investment and Pembroke side by side. Just in this order
they ran to the stand, where Fordham brought Zetland to
the front, and won in the commonest of canters by half a
length. Pembroke, who quitted Investment half-way in
the distance, finished a wretched third. Mr. Merry's colt
was pulled up and walked home, but he did not pass the

COUNTRY MARX.EIS.

LEEDS-TUESDAY.

The weather in Yorkshire is brilliant; but as factors of
wheat are becoming more acquainted with the quality of
the new clop they are less disposed to yield to its melting
influences, and there is a good sale for all kinds, last Fri-
day's rates advancing is per qr. Oats are inquired for.
No change in other articles.

LYNN-TUESDAY.

The supply of English wheat was scarce to-day, and
sales were made at an improvement on late prices. Barley
met with a steady demand at late quotations. Oats at full
prices. Beans same as heretofore.
