they have only to fall a few inches more to be down at the lowest
pint ever known, which was in 1719. The navigation of the
river above Paris, and a'so that of the Marne, is interrupted.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

HAMPTON RACES (CoweLunrn).—FßlDAY.
The attractions held out by the list for the third and con-
cluding day of this meeting were
.inferior in every respect to
those 'which had preceded it, and the company small, and not
by any means remarkable for its fashion Governed by what
lawyers call the quantum meruit, we shall contest ourselves
with this brief introduction, and proceed to the details of a very
indifferent afternoon's sport :
The Innkeepers' Plate of !A sovs., added to a Sweepstakes of
5 sovs. each, free for all ages; three yrs old, 7st 51b ; four,
Bst 51b ; five and upwards, Bst 12th ; winners once at this
meeting 51b ; twice, 71b extra. The winner to be sold for
801. if demanded, &c. Heats once round and a distance.
Mr. Rush's Pickwick, 6 yrs (Butler) 1 0 1
Mr. Brick's Shufller, 5 yrs
Mr. Monk's Nominee, 4 yrs
Mr. Matthews's Master Teddy, 4 yrs
Mr. Smith's Sir Felix, aged
Mr. Clifton's Tenebrosa, 4 yrs 0 0 0
Mr. Wells's The Tutor, aged
Mr. Scott's May First, 4 yrs
First heat.-6 to 4 agst PickwiA, and 3to 1 agst Tene-
brosa. May the First cut out the work to the last turn, where
Master Teddy, &taller, and Sir Felix passed him, Pickwick
lying next; a few strides beyond the distance-post he ran by
them, remained in front to the end, and won cleverly by a
length.

Second heat.—Betting, .3 to I on Pickwick, who was kept
in reserve for the third heat. Tenebrosa made play for the
first mile, when Nominee took it up, and won by three-parts
of a length.

Third heat.-3 to lon Pipkwick. Shuffier made the run.
ning with the ruck close up to the last turn, where Pickwick,
who had been in the rear, took the second place, half way up
the distance ho went in front, won easy by a length, and was
claimed.
Sweepstakes of 2 sov. each, with a Silver Cup added. Three
yrs old, 7st 71b; four, Bst 7lb ; five, Bst 13Ib ; six and aged,
9st 131 b. Mares and geldings allowed 31135. The winner
to be sold for 1001., &c. Heats, three-quarters of a mile.
(3 Subs.)
Mr. Firth's Wilderness, 3 yrs
Mr. Scott's May the First, 4 yrs
Mr. Wells's Carlow, aged
Owing to a misinterpretation of the conditions of entry,
Pickwick was named, and started for the first heat, which he
won in a canter. He was then objected to, and the race awarded
to Wilderness, who came in second, Pickwick, as a matter of
course, being considered out of it. The second heat was won
in a canter.

The Hurst Cup, run for on Thursday, was remarkable for a
few " Pauline" characteristics. As our report stated, the first
heat was won by Alsdorf, the second by Drogheda, an I the
third by Bedford, Drogheda running him in very close. It was,
of course, expected that the winner of one heat and the second
for the third would show for the deciding one ; and she certainly
did show, inasmuch as the jockey mounted and took her to the
post. Her owner then suddenly discovered that it would not
be convenient to loscher for the 200 soya. (the claiming price),
and sent her away, amidst a storm of groans and hisses. An
order by the stewards to withhold the cup led us to expect that
some inquiry would take place, and for this reason we abstained
from noticing the circumstance at the time. The clerk of the
course, however, has since received instructions to deliver the
cup to the owner of Bedford, and the matter is se far at an end.
