SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

CHESTER RACES TUESDAY MORNING.
During the early part of the morning the scene on the
Roodee was of the usual animated and exciting charac-
ter. A large number of horses gallopped. The Cup
candidates—Trifle, Peggy, Black Doctor, Woolwich,
Newminster, Lord-Lieutenant, and Mr. I. Day's two,
were particularly admired for their bloom of condition
and style of going.
At the betting-room the investments were again
chiefly confined to the two leading favourites—Trifle
and Peggy—each was backed at 9to 2. There was,
however, a considerable improvement in the position of
Newinster, as little as 12 to 1 being taken ; 40 to 1 agst
Woolwich, 50 to 1 agst Goldfinder, 100 to 1 agst Retail.
