SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

YORK SPRING MEETING.

YORK, TUESDAY NIGHT.
It was expected that the running of the great St. Leger horses
in the St. Leger and other stakes of this meeting, would afford
some clue to the merits of the north country three year olds, so
that, in the event of the crack Newmarket nag being defeated at
Epsom, there might be some data to go upon in the betting on
the race at Doncaster; the late rains, however, have had the
effect of rendering the turf exceedingly heavy, and thus let the
stakes go to the strongest, for speed is quite out of the question.
The running, therefore, cannot be considered as possessing that
truth which the present state of the St. Leger betting would have
made very desirable. In the absence of other criteria the race
yesterday naturally operated in favour of The Saddler, who
sprung from au outsider to 18 to I, which odds would doubtless
have been smaller if it had not been necessary to await the result
of his race with Lord Cleveland's Chorister this afternoon, many
good judges having looked upon the latter as a dangerous nag.
The decision will be found below, and its effect on the betting is
of course, to give the lift of two or three points.
The day's sport has been excellent, the weather favourable in
the extreme, and the company more fashionable and numerous
than yesterday. We subjoin particulars.
The York Claret Stakes of 200 sovs. each, h. ft. for 4..yr.01d colts.

Two miles.
Hon. E. Petre's Brunswicker
Marquis of Cleveland's Raby

Duke of I.eeds's Lady Mowbray 4

11 to 8 agst Brunswicker, 2 to 1 agst Hassan, 7 to 2 agst Raby,
and 5 to 1 agst Lady Mowbray.
Lady Mowbray went off at a good pace with a lead of about
three lengths, the other three following abreast for about three
quarters of a mile, when Hassan fell back, and Brunswicker drew
a little upon the mare. At the gravel road Lady Mowbray de-
clined, and about the same place Hassan failed in an attempt to
get up. The other two ran pretty close together as far as the
Stand, where Brunswicker, having beaten his horse, went about
a length in front, and won very cleverly,—rode by Scott, Raby
by J. Day, Hassan by J. Nelson, and Lady Mowbray by Temple.
man. Brunswitker's running to-day was very superior to any
thing that wt- ever saw of him as a 3-yr old.

Mr. Skipsey's The Saddler 1
Lord Cleveland's Chorister

5 to 4on The Saddler, who made all the running, was never
headed, and won easy by a length, rode by Nicholson, the loser
by J. Day. The very clever style in which The Saddler won this
race, served to confirm the impression made by his running yes-
terday, and naturally lessened the odds against him for the great
St. Leger, which before the race were only 15 to 1. On the other
hand, Chorister may be considered as hors de combat, and Lord
Cleveland, if he wins tke St. Leger, must do it with his New.

Amongst the baits thrown out to catch votes
during the recent election at Cambridge, there is one which
ought not to escape observation :—•' Mr. GOULBURN has
long repented the share which he took in the passing of
.that abominable measure, the Catholic Relief Bill." It
is not unlikely that this may be true, seeing that the Hon.
Gentleman perhaps owes his ejection from place and pay
to the division amongst the Tot its, which he was thus in-
strumental in producing ; but we sl,ould scarcely think it
would be considered as redounding much to his honour,
even by the learned electors of Cambridge. Mr. Gnu,-
Bunn, it should be remembered, first repented tbat be-
lied opposed concession, and yielded ; and now, having
yielded, we are told, forsooth, that he repents he did not
continue to oppose. It repentance he a matter of such
frequent occurrence with the Right Hon. Gentleman,
what pledge do his constituents possess that he will not go
and do likewise on, the: question of- Reform ?--Morninp
