SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

CHESTER RACES.—TITESDAY.
To have the Roodee flooded with sunshine instead of

rain, and for the races to be run without a forest of um-
brellas as a feature, is a state of things so unprecedented
that it warrants a passing notice. Chester is associated

with dirt and discomfort in racing minds that one could
hardly realise its aspect this glorious spring day, and the
crowds that thronged the course seemed fully to appreciate
the change.
Racing, with eight events on the card, commenced,
according to Chester law, at 2 o'clock, with a walkover by
s elim for the Grosvenor Stakes, and then the form Danbury was

After a short delay, caused by the breaking away of
Ozone and Goldylocks, the flag fell to an oven start. The
latter was first to show in front, followed by Isis, Panta-
loon, and Ozone to the bridge turn, where Ozone drew up,
and when fairly in the straight held a slight lead; half-
way up the distance Cannon brought up the favourite, and
heading Ozone opposite the stand won cleverly by a
length. A neck between the second and third.

side until rounding the bridge turn, where Rococo joined
the leaders, and with Aldcroft and King Hall entered the

all over the winner, but compounding a few strides from
home, Rococo, after a fine finish, won on the post by a short

dle and the Queen of Trumps going on third and fourth,
in which order they rounded the turn. When fairly in the
straight Queen of Tramps drew up to the Count, and the
pair, singling themselves out, ran a neck-and-neck race
home from the distance, the Count, who was never quito
headed, winning by a neck ; three lengths between second

were pulled down and new ones erected, especially fitted
for Messrs. Morell and Dowland's business, and it was for-
tunate that this was so, for if the fire of last night had oc-
curred in old premises, it might have spread so rapidly as
to have endangered a great amount of property. As it was,
the fire was restricted to the strip of new building having
a narrow frontage in Fetter-lane, and stretching down the
left side of Plough-court. The fire, which started in the
upper story, was discovered by a police-constable shortly
after the workmen left, and very soon firemen were on the
spot. Several land steamers and manual power engines
arrived, and were speedilyin operation. They got the fire
under, but it is said that the damage done by water and
by fire was very considerable. There were great crowds
of people at the end of the differentremained courts and in the lane
