SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING.

HANDICAP SWEEPSTAKES. T.Y.C.—The objection
which Jullien's trainer lodged against Petrel was with-
drawn.

TUESDAY.—The cheap and the regular trains brought
down a large accession of visitors ; but, notwithstanding
a strong list of attractions, and the more than ordinary
interest attached to the principle feature of sport—the
Two Thousand—the still stormy state of the weather
had the effect of limiting the attendance of general com-
pany. There was, however, a goodly display of fashion-
ables, and the ring was well thronged with speculators.
Seven horses started for the Two Thousand Guineas
Stakes, Sittingbourne, contrary to expectation, being
numbered amongst the competitors. West Australian
was supported with undiminished confidence to the last ;
and so numerous and heavy were the investments in
his favour, that on the break-up of the "Ring," 5 and 6
to 4 were betted on him. Orinoco was next in demand,
and both Barbatns and Filbert had many partizans.
The success of the Knight of the Garter in the match
with Nathan gave additional encouragement to the
backers of Lord Glasgow's horse. West Australian
won cleverly by half a length, and his victory caused
his further advancement in the Derby betting. During
the race the rain tell with drenching effect.
