SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BRIGHTON RACES—CUP DAY.
The racing was very good to-day, tho fields large and
well contested. Amour Propre, after running a good race

with Silenus in the Ovingdean Plate, and being beaten by
a neck, was pulled out for the next race, the Grand Stand
Plate, a furlong shorter, and in a large field won very ole-

verly.
The Cup brought out seven runners—Lecturer, of course,
the favourite, though there was a doubt as to the game
little horse having come back to his form since his defeat

at Huntingdon, which made them field strongly, and Dales-
man, lioulsey, Regalia, and Dalby were backed freely.
Harpenden, who was started to make the running for the
favourite, took a commanding load, which he kopt to about
a mile froni.homo, when Regalia went to the front,. but
.)03.0012-bad to give waTto Mauls/SP:who, thiS
in difficulties at the hill, shook off his horses and won in
the commonest of cantors by 15 lengths. Such an easy

victory has rarely been seen. Lord Bateman by winning
this splendid prize has been recouped for some recent dis
appointments. Lecturer was really never in it, and has
evidently lost his brilliant form.
The Nursery was one of those turns up for the fielders
which so often happen in races of this description, the two
favourite; Mr. Briggs and Minute Gun, never showing
prominently in the race, and Cecil, who came into the bet-
ting at the last, winning with ridiculous ease.
The weather was disagreeable, but the concourse of

people was as large as we ever remember seeing here.

At the second attempt they left the post pretty well toge-
ther, but after they bad proceeded a few strides Amour
Propre, in company with Silenus, Frogmore, and Python,
camp on together, the former holding a slight lead to the
stand, when Silenus joined issue and won a find race by a
neck; Frogmoro was third, three lengths in their rear;

gone a quarter of a mile he was nearly 50 yards in advance
of Tynedale, close up with whom wore Regalia and Dalby,
several lengths separating these from Lecturer, Dalesman,
and Moulsey. They ran thus along the brew of the hill,
but on making the turn into the Now Course the leader
gradually came back to his horses, and as they neared the
milepost Harpenden, having had enough of it, retired into
the extreme rear, leaving Regalia with the load, closely
attended by Tyuedale and Dalby, Dalesman, Lecturer, and
Moulsey, the latter taking his place with the loaders as
they neared the three-quarters of a mile post. On round-
ing the bond Regalia gave way to Dalby next the rails, the
pair being followed by Tynedale and Moulsoy side by side
into the bottom. Here Grimshaw brought up old Moulsoy,
