SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

HAMPTON R ACES—NVEDNESDAY.
The Hampton meeting, which commenced this day,
was marked by its peculiar characteristicts of fun, busi-
ness, and pleasure. The attendance of company was of
the usual motley kind, and was
quite equal to the
average number on the first day.
The weather was warm but cloudy, and just before
the last race was decided a drizzling rain set in ; the
scamper to obtain conveyances from the course was not
a little ludicrous.

By the way, the adoption of some stringent measure
to frustrate the scheme of card-riggers and other knights
of industry is imperatively required of the railway of-
ficials. En route to and from Hampton the fellows
" confederated" in second and third-class carriages, and
practised in the most daring manner all their art to en-
trap the unwary.
The afternoon's sport came off as follows :
