SPORTIN,

IGENCE,

WARWICK RACES.—TIIIMSDAY.
The welcome change in the weather occurred this
moraing, and the signs of thaw, slight as they were, fairly
gladdened the hearts cf the professional bettors assembled
at Leamington and Warwick. Tho snow, however, still
laid thickly about and around the running-ground, which
bad a curious appearance from having been cleared from
the top to the bottom of the straight run iu, and the mitre
of the nurse being covered with snow. As may be readily
imagined, the going was dreadfully heavy, and especially
on the far side, and some of the jockeys that rode during
the afternoon were almost indistinguishable as they passed
the post, so slush-bespattered were their faces and jackets.
It having been "wired" all over the country on Wednes-
day night that the sport was certain to come off, this
morning's trains brought a large accession of general com-
pany, and the attendance within the enclosure was almost
up to the average of the spring meetings at Warwick, but
outside the ring there were very few people, and of car-
riages—usually there are dozens of them—only four were
visible. In consequence of a case heard at the Court
House in the morning, and which will bo found reported
in another column, it was thought the betting boxes ad-
jacent to the Stand would bo abandoned, but the list-
keepers took up the stations they occupied on Tuesday,
and, as usual, their votaries included most of the small
speculators. The card comprised the items left over from
the first day's programme, and business began at two
o'clock with the Stand Handicap, for which The Rock and
Feodor were the most fancied. Lord Westmoreland put
a lot of money on the first-named, who was one of the first
beaten, and Feodor was rapidly upset at the finish by
Salamanca, a stout-looking colt by Arthur Wellesley, and
the property of the "Dalby" party, who got him out of a
selling race at Hampton Autumn last year for 335 guineas.
The Willoughby Handicap terminated in favour of The
Beadle, supported so freely at first by his owner and friends
that ho had the call of the seven runners, though towards
the close he gave way to Indigestion, who, however, stood
no chance with the Duke's representative. On the list In-
digestion was named as Captain Machell's, but prior to
the race ho was purchased by Lord Jersey, and ran in the
once well-known colours, "buff and purple stripes," which
were borne successfully by Middleton, Mameluke, and Bay
Middleton for the "blue riband" races of 1825, 1827, and
1837. For the Two-yr-old Sweepstakes Eau do Vie was
opposed by three " dark" candidates, of whom the filly by
Lambton —Wings-of-a-Dove—purchased by Lord West-
moreland last year for a mere "song"—had plenty of
friends, though not so many as Captain Hawksley's
colt, who was behind Ninny both at Lincoln and Notting-
ham. The captain laid an even 1000 and 600 to 400 on his
youngster, who cantered in front throughout; and the Five
Furlongs Handicap was a very hollow affair for Chibisa
(half brother to Zambesi), who was once freely backed for
the Derby of last year. His light weight served him, and
he won with at least a stone in hand, while the Hunters'
Stakes proved almost a canter for Clatford, who could take
no part in his recent race at Chelmsford. When the betting
operations commenced Royal Tartan was the favourite, the
Duke of Hamilton taking 230 to 200 three times about him,
and his grace would probably have had better luck had he
started Kiuglake. Tennyson, after nearly blundering on
to his head at the first jump, landed the Hurdle Race, and
the fielders got a turn over the concluding event, which
came off about half-past five. In the intervals of racing
there was a little betting on future events, and the feature
of it was the support given to Sea Mow for the City and
Suburban, the filly, who is by Orlando, out of Ossifrage,
being almost as good a favourite as anything at the close.

Gordian Knot and Feodor, the rest being together, with
the exception of Amour Propro and Mouchoir, who were
tailed off early. Before reaching the bend into the straight,
The Rock was passed by Feodor and Gordian Knot, and
when fairly in the line for home, Salamanca took third
place, and at the distance headed Foodor, whom he beat,
after au exciting struggle, by half a length ; Gordian Knot
dropped Weeny from the stand, and finished a bad third;

Stockinger got off badly, Black Prince taking a lead of
Brick and John Halifax down the far side and along the
Star close to the half-mile post, where Nnkuheva came
through, the latter soon taking the command. After
rounding the turn John Halifax, Black Prince, and Brick
dropped off, and Nukuheva came along close to the out-
side rails, attended by Indigestion and the Beadle, the
latter of whom took the command from the stand, and
won by a length ; about three lengths dividing the

maintained throughout, winning easily by two lengths ;
similar distance separated the second and third; Lady Bar-

lead of a couple of lengths, immediately followed by Volun-
teer, Adamanthea, Queen of Trumps, and Chibisa, of whom
Queen of Trumps was the firstto give way. In the straight
Volunteer drew up to Ulphus, and slightly headed him
below the distance, Chibisa joining the pair a few strides
further on. When near the stand the latter drew away
and cantered home half a dozen lengths before Volunteer,
Ulphus pulling up some three lengths in the rear of tl
old horse; Adamanthea was fourth, and Blackbird, Con•
tract, and Canard followed next in the order named, the
ast pair being Havannah and Queen of Trumps.

The three kept close company past the stand, after which
the favourite took a slight lead, but after showing the way
up the bill, be was headed by Royal Tartan, Who, along the
back stretch, held a command of three or four lengths.
Nearing the mile post Clatford ran up to him, and the two
came on nearly abreast to the distance, from whence the
favourite drew away, and won by five lengths ; King
Alfred, last throughout, was pulled up from the distance.

after this Fortunatus took his place at his girths. Mr.
Barber's mare lying off. Ascending the hill Fortunatus
assumed the command, but before reaching the three-quar
