SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

EPSOM RACES—YESTEBDAY.
To those who prefer sober, quiet enjoyment, to noise, excitement,
and labour, the Oaks holds out more attraction than its predeces-
sor, the Derby. Its deficiency, if such it can be called, is only in
the number of horses brought into competition. This we take to
be one of its chief recommendations. With a large field all appears
confusion, and beyond the two or three immediately in front, it is
impossible for the uninitiated to trace the progress of their respec-
tive fancies. The case is different with a field of moderate extent
—the eye and the memory embrace all without difficulty, and the
pleasure derived from the race is considerably enhanced. This is
the reason why so many genteel families avoided the turmoil and
dust of Wednesday, and came out" yesterday. That the inter-
vention of a day between the two great events of the week is a poli-
tic change was incontestibly proved by the superiority of the com-
pany present yesterday, as well in number as in quality, and the
effect is not a little heightened by the facts that the race itself has
never taken much with the public, and that ita attractions, such as
they were, were lessened by the secession, a thy or two before its
decision, of nearly all the principal favourites, viz., Ninny, Vesper-
tine, Barcarolle, Lamaca, and Glenara. The Grand Stand was
fashionably attended, and we hear that the receipts altogether have
quite answered:the expectations of the Committee. The refresh-
ment rooms were patronised to an extent we never saw equalled, a
proof not only that the stand itself is every year becoming a better
property, but that " a good table, well laid out," can never fail of
succeeding. Mr. Turner is entitled to great credit for his purveyor-
ship. Our time was so much taken up with the racing that we can
only give the following names of fashionables :
'the Marquis of Exter, Marquis of Queensberry, Earl Mul-
grave, Earl Stradbroke, Earl of Albemarle, Earl and Countess of
Chesterfield, Earl of Suffield, Earl of Uxbridge and family, Lord
J. Fitzroy, Lord H. Bentinck, Baron De Tessier, General Gros-
venor, Sir G. Heathcote, Hon. G. Byng, Hon. C. Forester, lion.
G. Anson, Mr. Greville, Mr. Payne, Mr. Bowes, Mr. Copeland,
and nearly all the other " gentlemen commoners" included in for-
mer lists. The following is a return of the sport The Oaks Stakes of 50 sees. each, h. ft., fur three years old fillies,
Bst. 41b. each. Mile and a half. The second to receive 100
sovs. out of the Stakes ; and the winner to pay 100 sovs. towards
the expense of the Police, &c. 98 Subs.
Lord Chesterfield's br. f. Industry, by Priam ...............Scott 1
Lord Suffield's b. f. Callisto, by Camel
The following also started, but were not placed by the Judge :
Mr. Mostyn's Brown Duchess, by Camel, out of Archduchess (Lye);
Mr. Theobald's br f. Camelia, by Camel, out of Datura's dam
(Robinson) ; Duke of Grafton's br. f. Unique, by Reveller, out of
Turquoise (J. Day); Sir G. Heathcote 's br. f. Paraguay, out of
Paradigm (Chapple) ; Mr. Forth's b. f. by Muley, out of Lacerta,
Marvel's dam (owner) ; Mr. Forth's br. t. The Soldier's Consort,
by the Colonel, out of Frederica (Buckle) ; Mr. Greville's br.
f.
Morella, Sister to Mango (Nat); Lord Exeter's Romania, by Sul-
tan, out of Ramona ( eonelly) ; Lord Exeter's Mecca, by Sultan,
out of Miss Cantley (Darling); Col. Peel's bl. f. Wave, by De-
fence, out of Versatility (G. Edwards); Mr. Bond's eh. f. Sister
to Glaucus, by Partisan (H. Edwards); Mr. Bond's b. f. by Par-
tisan, out of Coquette (Macdonald); air. Filbrook's b. f. Sister to
Venison, by Partisan (F. Edwards); Lord Chesterfield's Caroline
Elvina, by Tramp, out of Babel (C. Edwards).
Betting at starting-5 to 2 against Callisto 6to I against Indus-
try, 8 to I against Unique (100 to 3 offered' after the ring broke
up), 8 to 1 against Mecca (taken), 10 to I against Brown Duchess,
12 to 1 against Sister to Marvel, 12 to 1 against Camelia, and 20
to I against any other.
After three or four vain attempts this numerous but moderate
lot got away on excellent terms, Caroline Elvina leadingat her
best pace, followed by Callisto, Mecca, Romania, Morella, Indus-
try, and Sister to Marvel next, the latter's jockey looking as if his
place was not too much to his taste. Caroline continued the lead
at her best pace to the turn, where, having performed her allotted
task, she resigned. Callisto now took the lead, Romania following
her, Mecca and Sister to Marvel lying inside her near the rails,
and Industry just breaking from the ruck to take up the upper
ground. About four hundred yards from home Sister to Marvel
went to the front, looking so well that " Forth wins" resounded
from all parts of the course ; her chance, however, was out at the
distance. Industry was now lying wide of Callisto, but in going
up she hung so upon the latter that their course was oblique, and
Pavia, irritated, struck Scutt on the thigh with his whip. Industry
caught Callisto at the Grand Stand, headed her at the end of it,
and won cleverly, not easily, by a length ; Mecca, who was close to
the lower rails, was not beaten above a neck from Callisto ; Sister
to Marvel was about three lengths behind ; the next lot, consisting
of Morella, Paraguay, Coquette filly, Romania, and Soldier's Con-
sort, were eight or ten lengths astern ; the next division was com-
posed of Wave, Brown Duchess, and Unique ; the last of Camelia,
Sister to Glaucus, Caroline Elvina, and Sister to Venison, the lat-
ter playing the whipper-in. The pace was good, but not by any
means

rirst Heat—Pincher made the running to the turn, where Davie
went up, passed him at the Grand Stand, and won by a length.
In the second heat the work was cut out by Pincher and Mun-
chausen, Davie waiting on him to the same point as in the last heat,
where Davie took the lead, kept it, ran a very game horse, and won
by a length. He was claimed.
The Derby and Oaks Stakes of five sovs. each, with forty sous.
added ; for three-year-olds ist., four Bst. Mb., five Mst. 121 b.,

Mr. Shepherd's Jim Crow 4 , yrs... 2 4 2
Mr. Sadler's ch. f. by Reveller, 3 yrs

The first heat was contested with great severity by the Reveller
filly and Jim Crow, and won by a neck only ; the second and third
were good races, but won cleverly at the finish.
In conclusion, we may state, without fear of contradiction, that
this has proved one of the most successful meetings on record. It
has been distinguished by excellent management, fine weather, full
attendance, and plenty of good sport.
