SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NE rf.v.f RKE, T FIRST SPRING MEETING,

Tuesday, May 8.
This was decidedly the most important day's racing of the
season ; it has fully supported Beiram's previous running, at the
same time that it proves all the other Derby nags that have
hitherto appeared to be very moderate. Beiram, therefore, is
looked upon by many good judges as safe to win the Derby if he
keeps well. The 2,000 gs. Stakes is not calculated to have much
influence on the betting about Margrave, as Archibald would
have bad all his work to win, if the Posthuma colt (a draft from
the King's stud) had been a fortnight longer in training. The
running was made by Rotterdam and Mirabeau till near the
cords, where Archibald and Posthuma came out together, Spen-
cer at the same time being pretty forward ; Posthuma ran
out a little when within the cords, notwithstanding which he
continued to run Archibald to a neck. Value of the stakes, in-
cluding the winner's, 1,5..50/. The race between Beiram, Non
Compos, and Count Robinson, was poorly contested; Beiram
came off in front at a capital pace, made all the running, and won
very easy by a length—Non Compos could not get up, and Count
Robinson was beaten eight or ten lengths. The finest race was
for the Handicap of 10 40111. each ; 15 came to the post, and got
of at the first start nearly abreast, keeping so till inside the
ropes, where the following horses were so close together that it
was either for choice :—Zany, Black Daphne, Paddy, Landrail,
Theban, Chapman, and Marvel ; a few lengths from the chair,
Marvel, Chapman, and Theban singled themselves out, and ran
a beautiful race home, Marvel winning by a head only, and the
third horse only a neck and shoulder behind, the others well
up. The race between Coroner and Oppidan was won by the
former by ten lengths, rode by Mann ; it to 1 on him ; Oppidan
was scarely in a fit state to run a three mile race.
In the evening the Kingston-house Rooms were crowded, and
plenty of betting took place about Beira's', who was backed at
4 to 1 ; Byzantium also sprung three or four points.
