SPORTING INTELLIGENCE

NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING.
SATURDAY.

The number of matches that went off in forfeits reduced
a bill of fare that at one time promised a surfeit of sport,
down to nine races, and gave the stewards an opportunity of
fixing their commencement sufficiently late to enable all
who were so disposed to post up and settle their accounts,
leaving only the last day's bets to be balanced at Tatter-
sall's. There had been some talk of a "November" meet-
ing, and there is little doubt that had the weather beea fa-
vourable in the early part of the week some races would
have been made ; the fog, however, threw a damp upon the
spirit of match making, and the anticipated second supple-
mental sheet was not forthcoming. The concluding day's
racing was not remarkable for its interest, but the weather
was fine, and it proved a very satisfactory wind-up to the
most brilliant season ever placed on record.
Match, 200, h ft. Cambridgeshire Course.—Mr. Pember-
ton's Best Bower, 5 yrs, 7st 51b, beat Lord Glasgow's Con-

Betting-2 to 1 agst Theon filly, 7to 2 agst Circassian
Maid, and 6 to 1 each agst Agnes and Mirmillo. Agnes made
the running to the cords; the favourite and Circassian Maid
then passed her, the former leading, and winning easily by a
length ; the same between second and third. The winner
was claimed.

Cherry, Mr. Drake's Glory, Lord Exeter's Hydrangea, Mr.

Betting-3 to 1 agst Sting, 7to 2 agst African, 4to 1 agst
Wilderness, 6 to 1 each agst Glory, Hydrangea, and Young
Lochinvar. _ _

The Terrier made play at a good pace, followed by African
and Elimea, Young Lochinvar and Wilderness being fourth
and fifth. They ran in this order to the cords, where African
gave way, and Elimea and Wilderness became second and
third. Half-way up Wilderness headed Elimea, and " col-
lared" the Terrier, but could obtain no advantage over him,
the finish being so literally "head and head" that the judge
pronounced it a dead heat. Elimea was beaten a length,
African a bad fourth, Young Lochinvar and Prospect fourth
and filth.

Deciding Heat-6 to son the horse who made the running,
the mare "covering" him all the way, and winning by a

be sold for 120 sovs., &c., Ab. M._

Count Batthyany's Master Stepney, 4 yrs
Sir J. Hawley's Prospect, 3 yrs ....
Betting-6 to 4on Prospect. Won by a head.
The withdrawal of Duc an Durras, after a good deal of
business had been done at 6 to 4 on him and 7 to 4 agst
Prospect, led to a bit of an emeute, those who, on the faith of
his running, had betted against Prospect, exclaiming loudly
against the noble owner, and declaring that the bets against
him, as well as those against Due an Durres, ought to be off.
Cases of this kind, however, have occurred before, and have
Blade a sensation, but the sufferers have had, invariably, to
" grin and bear it." Of course the question will become a
matter of reference, and we trust will lead to the adoption of
a law that will in future render all bets void made under
similar circumstances.
Sweepstakes of 5 sovs. each, 2 yrs old, 6st 71b ; 3 yrs, Bst
51b; 4 yrs, Bst 101 b; 5 yrs and upwards, Bst 121 b. The

CASIR BORGIA.—This new work by the author
of the popular historical romance, " Whitefriars," is re-
ported to possess features as remarkable for their
novelty as for their interest. It is, we expect, an illus-
tration of Italian history of the most singularly graphic
and picturesque character—the period being the most
remarkable hi its annals—the principal personages
among the most extraordinary that ever existed—and
the scene, with occasional variations, in that locality
which, as much by the scholar as the Christian, must
ever be regarded as the most famous in the world. On
this story of Rome, in the era of the Borgias, the able
author of " Whitefriars" is said to have put forth all hit
well-known descriptive and imaginative talent.
IRISH SUPPLIES.—No less than sixteen ships ar-
rived in the river Thames on Monday, from the Irish
ports, laden almost exclusively with food and provisions
of various kinds, the produce of that country, having,
collectively, 14,960 packages of butter, 224 packages of
pork, 1,047 hampers and bales of bacon, several of hams,
140 sacks, 2,926 barrels, and 7,788 quarters of oats, 434
packages of lard, 75 of general provisions, 40 of oatmeal,
44 of porter, 259 of eggs, and a variety of other articles
of lesser importance, which it would be quite needless
further to particularise. Of these almost unprecedentedly
numerous arrivals in one day, from the sister island, five
were from Limerick, one from Belfast, two from Water-
ford, one from Galway, one from Kilrush, two from
Dublin, one from Youghal, and three from Cork. We do
not mention these arrivals in this hasty and succinct
manner with any motives of a political character, with
reference to the present state of that portion of the
United Kingdom, but as faithful chroniclers of passing
events, we deem it our duty to record them for the in-
formation of those most interested and concerned, with-
out any further present remarks on the subject.
KIRKILDT.—WHALERS.—Saturday the Regalia and
Caledonia whale ships, belonging to this port, arrived
here from Davis' Straits, the former having four fish, or
about sixty tons ; the other only two fish. The Regalia
has also brought home a young Esquimaux, dressed in
his native garb of skin, with his two canoes, fishing, and
hunting implements. They have likewise a live boar,
both of which are attracting many visitors, anxious to
see these denizens of the snow-covered regions.—Edin-
burah Weekly Register.
:The return of the Court to Osborne House, Isle of
Wight, will take place about the middle of the present
month of November.— Observer.
