SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING.
MONDAY AFTERNOON, FIVE O'CLOCK. —The Sub-
scription-rooms were opened last night as usual, but so
entirely was the attention of every person present en-
grossed by the accident to the special train, that the
reading of the list was a mere ceremony; not a bet was
laid. It was at first stated that all the carriages had been
overturned ; we believe, however, that the follow-
ing brief account will be found to be pretty near the
truth :—The train, which was started expressly for the
Newmarket visitors, consisted of five horse boxes, one
truck, and six or eight carriages, most of them first
class. It was drawn by two powerful new engines, and
travelled with great velocity until between Edmonton and
Potter's-bar. The fore wheels of the second engine were
then litted off the rails, and directly after were dragged
on again. The jerk, however, threw the hind wheels og
and almost instantaneously the first horse-box also went
off the rail. Providentially the chain that connected it
with the tender broke, and the engines became detached.
The train, however, had acquired so great an impetus,
that the box swung round, and tell over into a
wide and deep sheet of water at the side of the
line ; the other boxes shared the same fate,
the collision being so fearful that the first
was smashed to pieces. The first carriage was
tilted up against one of the telegraph posts,
all, we believe, were off the rail, and the last was over-
turned. some idea of the shock may be formed, when
we state that the horse boxes and truck, laid parallel
with the carriages, i. e., precisely in an opposite direction
to that in which they had started ; the engines, on be-
coming dotached, proceeded two or three hundred yards,
and were then stopped. It is miraculous that the only
persons injured were a guard and one of the porters, and
that, beyond a few contusions, the passengers escaped.
The horses were not so fortunate; one poor animal was
drowned, another had its back broken, and three or four
others were snore or less hurt. It is due to the secretary
of the company and its servants, that every possible as-
sistance was rendered, and that one of the engines hav-
ing been immediately dispatched to Shoreditch, extra
carriages were attached to the two o'clock train, and by
about half-lutist three, the passengers proceeded on their
journey, reaching Newmarket between two and three
hours after the proper time, some with their luggage
(none the better for an immersion in the water), and
some without any. The accident is accounted for in
various ways, but is most commonly attributed to the
greatness of the speed, and the use of two engines, when
one would have been amply sufficient ; that two were
used, was owing to the determination of the directors to
prevent anything in the shape of disappointment or
delay.
Whether the report of the accident had any influence
on the Metropolitans, certain it is, that theserrivavls this
morning were less numerous than we had calculated
upon. The attendance, however, iucluded most of the
regular frequenters of the meetings, and the general
muster on the heath was about an average. The
weather was favourable and the sports (albeit) lacking a
Craven Stakes, was satisfactory in quantity and competi-
tion, and kept the company on the ground from one
o'clock until four. We add the usual return:—
