SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING.
WEDNESDAY NtouT.—The fancy fair commenced this
morning, at the Kingstown House Rooms, and as might
have been expected, from the illustrious patronage be-
stowed on it, attracted visitors from all parts of the two
countries. The rooms, in fact, were crowded to excess,
and the desire to possess the elegant lots exposed for sale
so great, that the most extravagant prices were obtained.
The Duchess of Beaufort, the Countesses of Albemarle
and Chesterfield, Lady Jermyn, Mrs. Portman, and several
other ladies, proved themselves excellent shopkeepers ;
and it is gratifying to add, that their benevolent exertions
obtained a return more than equal to their expectations.
In our account of the second day, we propose to furnish
some additional particulars. To afford time for this novel
treat, the races did not commence until two o'clock. They
were five in nu,nber, were productive of good sport, and,the
weather being fine, attracted a large company. The following
details are in addition to those forwarded from the Heath :
Sweepstakes.—Rodosto took the lead, Iris and Execu
trix following her, with Caution laid up ; the latter joined
them half way up the cords, made her push a few lengths
from the chair, and won cleverly by half a length ; Iris and
Executrix were third and fourth ; La Gitana was beaten off.
T. Y. C. Plate.—St. Cloud cut out the work for half a
mile, and was then headed qy Decision, who carried it on
to the ropes, where Protection went up, and won by a
length ; St. Cloud and Miss Heathcote were third and
fourth, and Huon several lengths beh;nd them
Last Plate.—Bandboy took the lead, and, with the
Maid of Ipswich in close attendance, made running half
way down the hill ; Calypso then went in front, but was
collared half way up the cords by the Maid of Ipswich, and
beaten by a length.
The matches were fine specimens of handicapping, the
first being a dead heat, and the second won by a neck only.
Betting after the races— 5 to 4 laid once on Thistle
Whipper agst Cameleon, p p., for the stake on Thursday.
