SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET JULY MEETING—FRIDAY.
The Queen's Plate, some Matches, and the usual £5O
Plates were the meagre programme of the concluding day
of as pleasant a little July as we over remember to have
assisted at—not a very brilliant one, but still having its
special feature of interest in the meeting of the two fillies,
which went far to redeem a good deal of mediocrity. As
we have observed before, we do not see occasion for a
fourth day, but really Newmarket and the other side of the
Ditch are such very pleasant places in July that we cannot
find it in our heart to find fault with the arrangement.
About the only turn backers had was with Rus in Urbe in
the T wo-yr-Old Handicap, over the Chesterfield course,
vile) really was a good thing, the only other out of the
large field backed being Sceur de Charlie, ono of Mr.
Pryor's, who came too late to the post on Tuesday. The
Queen's Plate, for mares, over the Round Ccurse, which
has often fallen to Baron Rothschild, the Oaks mare Tor-
mentor won, amid such a moderato lot, very easily. There
was a slashing race for the 100 sovs Plate between Pirate
Chief and a fine-looking colt by Yellow Jack—Verona,
who, if we mistake not, has the makings of a good horse
about hire, and will improve with time. The two singled
themselves out as they got to the top of the hill, and strug-
gled home so locked together that nobody but Mr. Clark
knew what had won. Standing near the chair, we thought
it looked very much like a dead heat; but Mr. Thellusson's
colt managed to get his nose in first, and a short head re-
warded Fordham's riding.
There was but little speculation at Cambridge en route.
They took 7to 2 about The Special, but Nu did not go so
well as she has done. There were indications of Lucifer
coming into the front ranks, but really there are so many
ups and downs in the market, and so very little seems
known as to owners' intentions, that we hesitate to give
an opinion as to the real state of the market. We append
a list of quotations, and they must speak for themselves.
MATCH ; 100, h ft. Chesterfield Course.

Lord Falmouth's Reigning Beauty, Bst IGlb (T. French) 2

Soiled Dove, with a slight lead, made the running, and
won easily by three parts of a length.
