SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING.
WEDNESDAY.

It rained very heavily at Newmarket during Tuesday
night, but towards the morning it cleared away and a blue
sky appeared overhead. However, in the afternoon occa-
sional heavy showers fell interspersed with glimpses of
sunshine, and the heath bore anything but an inviting
appearance.

As usual after the Two Thousand day the appearance of
the course was quiet, :and devoid of the bustle and:excite-
ment apparent on the great race. A moderate card coin-
prised eight events—the first of which was the Prince of
Wales' Stakes, easily won by The Peer defeating Black
Prince. The fiery D'Estournel was brought out for the
next event, and some curiosity was evinced to see how far
ho would exhibit his wayward propensities with Custance
in the saddle. His jockey held him with a firm hand
throughout, not giving him a chance to turn his head either
one way or the other, and he won with consummate ease.
As much as 5 to 2 was laid on Baron Rothschild's good-
looking colt Suffelk, who contended against a field of 24.
He had not much difficulty in disposing of this number,
and came in an easy winner by several lengths After-
wards offers of 15 to 1 against him for the Derby of 1868
were made. The last two races were run amid drenching
rain, and there seemed every prospect of the weather con-
tinuing wet.

on the left into the dip. Here Custance brought up
D'Estournel, and ran with the leader to halfway in the
cords, where ho quitted him without an effort, and won
easily by a length and a half. Twice that distance sepa-
rated second and third.

the next division. They ran in these positions until half-
way in the rails, when Confederate and Volunteer gave
way ; the two leaders wore immediately after joined by
Charles 11., who came with a rush a few strides from home,

Harebell, and Sister to Maid Marian on the right to half-
way down the Bushes-hill, where the leader dropped back,
and as they entered the Abingdon Mile bottom Wells
brought Suffolk to the front, closely attended by Privilege
and Sister to Maid Marian, but the two latter gave way
beaten halfway in the rails, leaving the Baron's slashing
colt to canter in alone the winner by half a dozen lengths.
Privilege, who was second best, was stopped when out of
it, and finished half a length in the rear of Sister to Maid
Marian. The others were pulling up as they came past the
post, the foremost lot comprising Harebell, Di Vernon,
Helvellyn, Schiedam, Choral, and Queen of the West,
