SPORTING INTELLIGENCE
EPSOM RACES.-TUESDAY.

It is scarcely possible that a meeting could have com-
menced under more favourable auspices; the weather
was..fiue, the fields unusually large, the sport excellent,
and speculation brisk; the town, moreover, is so full
that beds for the week arc scarcely to be got for love or
money, a circumstance, as we are informed by one of the
" oldest inhabitants," that has not occurred since Sir
James Graham came down so heavily on the " play"
fraternity. The list, not only fur the day, but for the
meeting, showed a vast improvement, averaging five
races per diem, with 9751. added money; the substitu-
tion of handicap plates for the old fashion three and five
soy. " heat" races, contributed not a little to strengthen
the programme-----to judge from the number of two sov.
entries'to the Manor and Heatheote Plates, they are
likely to prove self-supporting, and, probably, with a
trifle to spare. The attendance, including many of the
leading supporters of the turf, was good, and in num-
bers was about an average for a first day. The ground,
notwithstanding the late rain, was hard. For the Craven
Stakes all that were entered came to the post, including
two animals whose running was looked to with some
anxiety, in reference to the Derby—Aaron Smith and
Gholsb Strgh; the former cut up badly, and increased
tho prevailing disposition to bet against the Prime
Minister; Gholab Singh made a bit of a race with Uriel,
and brought up Neasham, who is reported to have been
highly tried with him, from 20 to 15 to 1, in one jump.
The Horton Stakes was won cleverly by Reversion, but
a solitary sovereign was all that accrued to the race
fund, by his sale under the conditions. The Manor
Plate produced a dozen runners, but at the end was
:contested only by a couple, the evergreen Dulcet looking
so well a few strides from home, that many thought that
he would, and some that he had won; he was beaten a
long half-length.. Elcot was all the rage for the Wood-
cote Stakes, and followed his brother's example of last
year, by getting off well and winning by a length. It
will be seen from our return that he will have to undergo

a veterinary examination before his owner can receive
. . the stakes—this victory, of course, strengthened the
confidence of the lAlarlborough Buck's party, and made
him second favourite for the Derby. A capital race for
the Heatbcote Plate brought the sports to a close shortly
after five o'clock. The following is a return:—

CRICKET.

ELEVEN OF ENGLAND v. TWENTY-TWO OF

STOCKTON-ON-TEES AND DISTRICT.
This great contest was resumed and brought to a close
at Stockton on Saturday afternoon. In this match the
Eleven of England hare, for the first time during the
present season, been able to show their powers, for it
will be found that whilst they had previously lost every
match they had played, so in the present instance they
have carried the day by the large majority of 104 runs.
An unusual feature here is in the score of this match,
namely, that whilst in the first innings of the Eleven
there were five double figures, there were in their second
as many as eight bats which produced the like result.
The two totals of the Twenty-two were very near—
the one being 96, and the other 97.
The conclusion of the contest presented the following
state of the game:—
