SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

EPSOM SPRING MEETING.-WEDNESDAY.

The attendance to-day was hardly up to the measure of
theprevious ono, though the weather, despite some showers,
was pleasanter. .
The Epsom Spring Cup, a new Stake, brought out a good
field, and a fine race between Pinchbeck, who made all the
running, and the Annie Laurie colt, the former winning by
a neck.
The best looking lot of 2yr olds run this season came
to the post for the next race, Baron Rothschild's Suffolk
being backed almost against the field. He won easily, but
those behind him will be heard of, if we mistake not, on a
future day.
The Great Metropolitan resulted in a surprise as great as
the City and Suburban. Proserpine became the favourite
before the flig fell, and a good deal of money was invested
on Jezabel; while Mr. Brayley, who started Endsleigh to
make the running for Douro, was very sanguine of the
latter's success. Endsleigh did make the running, and so
effectually that she won, and hor owner had the mortifica-
tion of seeing an unbacked horse win. It was a good race
between her and Jezabel, but the latter could not quite get
up, and was beaten by a head.
Two such instances of "squandering of favourites" and
the " mistakes" made by owners have rarely been witnessed
as in the result of the two great Epsom Handicaps.
The Epsom Spring Cup (Handicap) of 100 sovs, added to
a sweepstakes of 5 sovs each, 2 ft, for all ages; any
winner after the pub!ication of the weights 51b extra;
the forfeits to be equally divided between the second and
third ; one mile.

Vandervelde.
Pinchbeck got away with the lead, in company with the
Vixen colt, Cadiz, Jeannie Deans, and Vandervelde, the
others lying up. Rounding Tattenham-corner Aggra-
vator, who had hitherto lain away, joined the leaders, but
dying away as they crossed the road, together with Cadiz
and Vandervelde, Midwife and the Annie Laurie colt were
left in attendance upon Pinchbeck, but without fairly
reaching her, the latter being beaten after a good race by a
neck. Midwife was a bad third, Jeannie Deans fourth, Star
Cross fifth, an Cadiz next. G:engarnock and the favourite-
were the last two.

added, for two year olds; colts Bst 101 b, fillies Bst 71b;

Ninny.
They left the post to a straggling start, in which Judy
M'Cree got away with a clear lead of Cork Jacket, and
the favourite, Limner, Songeur, and Ninny lying close in
their track to the road. Here the Frenchman ran through
his horses and held a command to the half-distance, where
Judy M'Cree dropped back, and Suffolk then came up on
the right and won without an effort by a couple of lengths,
Cork Jacket defeating Songeus by a head for second
money, Limner fourth, Ninny fifth, Sarah sixth, and Judy
M'Cree seventh.
The Great Metropolitan Stakes (Handicap) of 25 soya each,
15ft, and only 5 if declared, with 200 added ; the second

sleigh, and 50 to 1 agst Camilla.
After taking their preliminary cantor they returned to
the paddock, when Mr. M'George walked them to the post,
and at the second attempt despatched them in close com-
pany. When fairly in their places Proserpine, on the lower
ground, rushed to the front, followed by Mischief, Chep-
stow, and Endsleigh, the next division being headed by
Dunsany, Tourmalin, Sydmonton, and Lord of the Dales ;
but before the enclosure was passed the former was pulled
back, and the running was taken up by Endsleigh, closely
attended by Beeswing,
Chepstow, and the Baron's two;
Dunsany following next on their left, in company with
Lord of the Dales, Whalebone, Ambition, Douro, Jezabel,
and Treasure Trove ; Sydmonton, Tormentor, and the
Amanda colt bringing up the rear. In these positions they
headed the turninto the new course, when Endsleigh some-
what improved his 'position, Dunsany going on second,
with Beeswing third, Chepstow, Tourmalin, and Lord of
the Dales lying up, the others following in a body, in the
centre of whom were seen the colours of Proserpina, Trea-
sure Trove, Ambition, Policy, and Whalebone ; Tormen-
tor, Sydmonton, and the Amanda colt still in the rear. No
material change occurred in these positions until they
reached the mile post, where Dunsany drew up to the
leader, closely followed by Tourmalin, Chepstow, Lord of
the Dales, Ambition, and Proserpine ; Jezabel, in company
with Policy, at the same timebeing seen gradually improv-
ing their positions as they commenced the descent of the
hill, the others at the same time beginning to exhibit the
effect of the pace. Approaching Tattenham Corner Proser-
pine headed Tourmalin, and came on third on the lower
ground, but as they neared the distance she suddenly stop-
ped, and was again headed by the Baron's filly, who, however
was in difficulties half way up, and was immediately passed
by Jezabel and Lord of the Dales, who, heading Dunsauy
at the enclosure, came on in pursuit of Endsleigh. At the
stand Jezabel made her effort and got to the leader's girths,
but, failing to improve that position, was beaten after a
punishing finish by a head. Lord of the Dales finished
third, two lengths in their rear, Tourmalin was fourth,
close up, Policy fifth, Beeswing and Dunsany, side by side,
sixth and seventh, Douro next. Then came at wide inter-
vals Chepstow, Sealskin, Proserpine, and Ambition, who
were whipped in by Sydmonton, Tormentor, Camilla, and
Mischief, the latter walking in with the crowd.

Wings of a Dove, in company with Paris, Lictor, and
Haymarket on the lower ground, came on in advance to
the enclosure. Here Paris came out, and getting clear of
his horses in the next half dozen strides, won with great
ease by a length and a half, Lictor just defeating the fa-
vourite in the last stride by a neck for the second money.
Haymarket was fourth, Oracle fifth. The last three were
La Mute, Prima Donna, and Fanchette. The winner was
