SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING.
TUESDAY.
THE TWO THOUSAND

Fine weather, and the extraordinary interest which the
Two Thousand Guineas Stakes has excited, attracted more
than the usual number to the Newmarket Heath to-day.
The vast racecourse was crowded with pedestrians, car-
riages, and equestrians, and during the afternoon the Prince
of Wales arrived by special train, and paid a visit to the
course mounted on a grey cob. He witnessed tho Two
Thousand and the other races that followed.

The programme for the day's sports comprised seven
events, the third of which was the Two Thousand. Julius
and Vauban, the night before the race, were heavily backed
and finished in the betting as first favourites at the expense
of Plaudit. On Tuesday morning, however, Julius to came
somewhat out of favour, and Plaudit, in spite of the hosti-
lity evinced towards him on Monda3-, and a prevailing
opinion that be wanted work—or, as it was elegantly ex-
pressed, that he appeared too fat—revived somewhat from
his fallen position, outlays being not infrequent on him
during the morning. Challoner was substitutel for Grim-
shaw as Marksman's jockey, but the change did not affect
his pric The only other feature in this Derby trial was
accorded to Owain Glyndwr, whose price on Monday night
was 30 to 1, after being in the 100 to 1 division for some
time, and on Tuesday the highest offer in the ring against
him was 100 to 8. The race itself early decided the fate of
Plaudit; ho was beaten before half the mile was run, and
the horse that had been so much thrust on the public never
even could make the semblance of a struggle to finish with
honours in the front. Vauban, the latest favourite, was in
the van from the start to the finish, and won, after a fine
race with Knight' of the Garter and Marksman, by two
lengths. He immediately became in strong favour for the
Derby, and ho was backed to win that race for large sums
of money at 4 to 1. Trocadero, who had figured a little in
the sensational way as a favourite in weeks gone by, met
with inconsiderable support, and as much as 25 to 1 was
laid against him during the day. Tho .running proved
him a better horse than many which started; but he is
now proved to be a long way off the Two Thousand qua-
lity. The freak of backing Owain Glyndwr was not ac-
counted for in the running, however much it might have
been understood in the ring. As an inevitable sequence
after the great race was over interest in the remaining•
events nearly subsided, and the last being a walk over, the
heath was forsirken by half-past 4.
