SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

HAMPTON RACES--TiluitspAr.
The length to which our prefatory observations were
extended on Wednesday, leaves little more to be said of
this meeting.

The presFige of the Cup day—so called on the Lucas a
non luccmdo principle, it would seem—lost none of its
force, if the immense multitudes which were spread over
the Hurst may be taken as a criterion.

The stands and their inclosures were also fully occu-
pied, and business and pleasure held divided rule. The
sun shone forth with summer brilliancy, and the warm
air was redolent of the "ripe harvest of the new mown
hay." _

Pic-nic parties boating on the bright river added mate-
rially to the picturesque effect of the gay and animated
scene ; and the display of beauty and fashion in dashing
equipages closely set along the carriage side of the course
was much greater than we remember to have seen there
for some years.

The sport evidently afforded the highest gratification
to the " masses," most of the plates bringing out strong
fields ; the results were, however, for the most a sore
discouragement to the bookmakers. On reference to the
following details it will be seen that the principal. prize
(her Majesty's Plate) was carried off by Torment with
the same ease that distinguished her victory for the Sur-
rey and Middlesex Stakes the day before. Previously
to the race she was bought by Mr. Greville.
By the sale of only two winners (Antonina and
Noisette) upwards of 4001. went to enrich the fund.
This, independently of the great income derived from
booths, betting-stands, the admission of carriages, &c.,
afThrds a strong ground of hope that the amount of added
money to the different stakes will next year be consider-
ably increased; and, that a new stake, under the deno-
mination of "The Hurst Stakes," a handicap sweep-
stakes of 10 sovs, each, for three-year-olds and upwards,
with 100 added, will form a prominent feature in the
programme on that occasion. The stewards will be Ad-
miral Rous and Colonel Peel. The races came off as;
follows :
