SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

HAMPTON RACES, TUESDAY, SErr.2ll.

These renewed Races commenced to-day, and agreeably dis-
appointed the expectations of those who had augured unfa-
vourably of them. Notwithstanding the propitious state of
the weather, the renowned Moulsey Hurst slid not assume its
accustomed gaiety till 3 short time before three o'clock, when
the Course presented a pretty strong muster ; the company,
' though not fashionable, being very respectable. The sports,
which were conducted with great precision by a Mr. Coombe,
well known on the turf, were well contested, and gave general
satisfaction.

The Innkeepers' Stakes were disputed in a manner that
would not have disgraced thorough-bred horses; and the La-
dies' Cup produced four as pretty heats as we have witnessed
for some time. The Races were scarcely finished before dark,
in consequence of their having been delayed till the arrival of
the visitors. Very few betting men were present, consequently
the betting was limited, and to small amounts. We subjoin a
correct statement.
Derby Hunt Stakes of 10 soya each, for horses regularly
hunted, &c _Heats 2 miles.--lientlemen riders.—Did not till.
The Innkeepers Cup for galloways not exceeding 14 hands, to

The first heat was finely contested between Fanny, Sprightly,
and Charcoal, each horse took alternate leads, while the two
behind made strong play, but without effect, Fanny winning
in good style at last. The second heat Sprightly got a good
lead, kept it and won cleverly ; the third heat was a neck and
neck race between Fanny and Sprightly, and terminated in a
dead one; fourth and last was an excellent sporting race, and
won only by half a neck.

STAG HUNT AT KILLARNEY.
The last hunt for this season at the Lakes, took place a few
days since. The flood was so great from the torrents of rain
that had poured down for some days, that the boatmen were
obliged to strip and haul their boats through the currents.—
The hunt was to have taken place at an early hour in the morn-
ing, but John O'Connell, hag. who, as an old sportoman and
the owner of the hounds, had the arrangement of the plea-
sures of the day, seeing the difficulty the boats had in getting
under the weir bridge, delayed the sport until half-past two
o'clock, by which time about seventy boats had assembled
under Ronan's Island, near Lord Brandon's cottage, at the
head of the Upper Lake. The signal being made to the tele-
graph-man stationed on the hill over where the buck lay, he
immediately signaled the huntsmen, who instantly laid on the
hounds, and in a short time unharboured him at Darrycarna.
The buck held on by Augriegh, to near Lord Brandon's cot-
tage, then in view of the boats along the Upper Lake, iato the
wood of Derricunnihy, which he kept for a long time ; he then
made a windlass, and was running for home, but was so haul
pressed by the pack, that he was obliged to take the soil oppo.
site to Ronan's Island, at a full imprime, with the body of the
hounds close at his haunches. The light boats of the fleet im-
mediately pulled out to save him. Lord Kenmore's boat was
the first up with him, when one of the men jumped upon his
back, and secured him. He was hauled into the boat, bound
by the legs, his eyes blind-folded, and then rowed round the
fleet, for the inspection of the company.

MATCH FROM LONDON TO DONCASTER AND BACK.--
Mr. G. WEST, whose equestrian feats are recorded, started on
Thursday night, at 12 o'clock, to go from the llampstead-rod
Chapel to and from Doncaster (32
4 miles) in four days sii
hours. The wager was, that the pedestrian should be at Don-
caster (102 miles) in two days, for 100 sovereigns ; and the
second engagement, for another 100 sovereigns, was, that he
did not accomplish the undertaking. The match is rather
more than three miles an hoar,. stoppages included. The pe-
destrian reached Wandsford (halt the distance) the first (lay,
and took not more than a quarter of an hour's rest, and he won
the first hundred by beating time 20 minutes, and was returna-
ble to Itossington-bridge, flair miles back, before he rested. On
Sunday night he arrived at Stamford, and took four hours rest,
leaving himself 28 hours to do the 85 miles in. He took his
Journey leisurely, breakfasted at Alconbury, dined at Royston,
and finished his day's work at Enfield. He accomplished the
other 10 miles easily, in 3 hours and 40 minutes—winning the
match, with twenty minutes to spars, at 4 o'clock on Monday
morning.

SPARRING.
Reid. of Chelsea, a man who has so often proved his man-
hood by victory in the prize-ring, had a benefit yesterday at
the Fives' Court, and it was as well attended as the season
promised. A sprinkle of Nobility, brought thither by the great
Captain of the fighting forces, assembled, and they were well
satisfied with the day's play.
The sets-to were as follows :
Mason and Chapman afforded much amusement as light
weights, by their refined skill. Chapman has the gift which
Randall once had, of doing as he liked with an antagonist.
Goodman and illason made a very good set-to.
Donnelly and Harris, the latter the champion of Ilampstead
Heath, had a very merry rumble-tumble bout. Pat had made
too free of the temple waters of Seagre, Evans, and Co., and
got some ugly fiats. He was desirous of finishing his customer,
but the proprietor of the Court interfered, and called out
" Enough."
Jen lrn and Acton made a very fine set-to, and exhibited
science in various forms. Burn has proved himselfl an adept
with naked fists against a giant, and lie is equally good with
gloves on.
Ab. Belasco and Harry Holt made one of the finest sets-to
ever seen in the Coml. harry Holt instructs his pupils in one
grand object of self-defence--Mind your parries." Illelatico
did mind them without the hint, and returned two; but Harry,
was with him at number three. The turn-up was pretty equal
.
anti it produced a thunder of applause.
Young Dutch Sam and one of the younger Oipsey Coopers
acquitted themselves manfully.
Reid finished is a short set-to with Oipsey Cooper the great,
in a scientific bout.
