SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

GOODWOOD RACES-FRIDAY.

The meeting was brought to a conclusion amidst fine
sunny weather. The supply of sport was ample, but
spectators mustered somewhat scantily. One casualty
of a painful nature occurred in the race for the Nursery
Stakes. Little Steggles, who was riding Matilda, was
thrown, and so severe were the injuries which he re-
ceived, that his life is placed in imminent danger.
The business of the meeting was efficiently conducted
by the "Newmarket staff of officials," Messrs. Clark,
Hibburd, and Manning. Twenty extra policemen, of
the A division, under the charge of Inspector Banks,
were employed to clear the course. Messrs. Langley
and Whicher, of the detective force, did good service by
preventing the admission of improper characters into the
stand enclosure.

AUSTRALIAN AGRICULTURAL COSIPANT. At a meet-
ing of this company yesterday an extra dividend of
11. lls. 6d. per share was declared. The chairman
(Mr. Ravensbaw) explained that the funds were derived
from sales of land at Port Stephen and Newcastle and
the proceeds of stock purchased by the Peel River Com-
pany. The total amount is about 42,0001., and the
proposed distribution will absorb 31,000/., leaving
11,0001. to be carried forward. Although the directors
cannot promise any further similar payment, they ex-
press a belief that the usual rate of dividend will be
maintained. The latest accounts received are of a satis-
factory character, the returns from coal showing an in-
crease upon former years, while half of the clip of wood
has already arrived, and will shortly be disposed of.
Some few leases of land have lately been arranged, but,
with the exception of 500 acres at Liverpool Plains,
they do not comprise an important quantity. A vote
of 1,5001., on the recommendation•of the board, for the
benefit of the family of the late Mr. A. Blanc, the de-
puty-governor, who visited Australia, at a critical pe-
riod, and took the active management of affairs, was
carried by a majority.
