SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

HAMPTON R ACES. —WEDNESDAY.
Although the sums off.-red for competition on Moul
sey• Hurst contrast most unfavourably with the magnifi-
cent prizes run for at Ascot the week before, they are
sufficient to attract a large number of horses of an infe-
rior grade, and by means of heats, usually furnish a
satisfactory amount of sport. Hitherto, the system has
been governed by a determination to give as little and to
get as much out of the meeting as possible—the mode of
" carrying on the war" has been objectionable in other
respecis; this year, however, a more liberal feeling has
been evinced by the lessees; a competent Clerk of the
Course (Mr. Hibburd) has been entrusted with the ma-
nagement, and there is every prospect of the meeting
being one of the best ever held. The commencement
yesterday was highly favourable; the weather was fine
and the South-western Railway having given every pos-
_.

.able facility, in the shape of special trains, frOm-the
Waterloo bridge station, the attendance was the largest
for a first day that has been seen for many years. Be-
sides several others of rank, we noticed his Royal High-
ness Prince George of Cambridge, attended by the
Honourable Captain Macdonald, the Marquis of Exe-
ter, Marquis of Drogheda, Earl of Chesterfield, Earl
S rathmoie, Lord Dunkellin, Lord G. G. Lennox, Lord
F. Fitzroy, Sir Minto Farquhar, Sir T. Burke, Sir J.
Hawley, Sir D. Baird, Hon. Captain Rous, Hon. Major
Pitt, Hon. Colonel Stanley, Hon. Major Boyle, Hon. C
Forrester, Hon. H. Forrester, General Charittie, Colonel
Peel, Colonel Richardson, Mr. Greville, Mr. Payne, Mr.
Foljambe, Mr. Oabaldeston, Mr. Archdall, M.P. Mr.
Magennis, Mr. Drinkald, Mr. O'Higgins, Mr. Rush, &c.
The sport was excellent, and so much better was time
kept than under the old regime, that although the first
event did not come off until a tew minutes after two
o'clock, the last heat of the Stand Plate was over by
halt-past five o'clock—every thing went off well; the
only ground of complaint that suggested itself was the
want of a sufficient number of police. As an immense
crowd may ho expect. d to-day, we trust the proprietors
of the course will be better provided.
