SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET SPRING MEETING.—Tn IMSDAY,
THE ONE THOUSAND GUINEAS' DAY.
Without the special attraction of the Two Thousand
day, there is, of course, all the interest which the sight o
the probable winner of the Oaks would create in the race
for the One Thousand to draw a large attendance. There
is no speculation on this race until the day before its deci-
sion, when some warm favourite is generally introduced
and continues at the head of the poll until the flag falls.
This year Repulse (purchased by the Marquis of Hastings
after the Leger from Mr. Jackson) was the coming filly, on
whom 2 to 1 was laid last night at the Rooms, and nothing
else declared to be in it. The field was small, and Bayo-
nette, a mare from the French stable, was the only one
besides the favourite really backed for money. Jennings
was, indeed, as nearly confident as the Danebury people
were, and if the mare had been more kindly she would in
all probability have won. As it was, the race was confined
to her and the favourite, the former hanging so much on
Lord Hastings's mare that it was impossible for Grimshaw
to keep her straight and Repulse won, after a close struggle,
by a short head. It was hardly 2to 1 on her, however,
and her friends must have been rather nervous for their
investments a quarter of a mile from home. Repulse is a
fine, lengthy, dark bay mare by Stockwell, bred by Lord
Derby, and, of course, will now be a favourite for the
Epsom event, for which Bayonette is not entered.
The other events were of no particular interest. Bread-
albane, over his own ground—a little more than a mile—
"squandered" Christmas Carol and Saccharometer; and Mr.
Chaplin's colours were again to the fore in the next race
with the Raven, old Warrior cutting it as soon as ho reached
the hill.
The day was fine, and the attendance above the average
of "the ladies' day."

Ackworth made play, Breadalbane and Ischia lying nex
with Saccharometer and Christmas Carol bringing up the
rear to approaching the Bushes, where Breadalbane took a
clear lead, and, although Saccharometer went into the
second place and made a game effort half-way up the hill

At the appointed time (half-past 2 o'clock) the nine com-
petitors were despatched to an even start. Sister to Minie,
who made running for the Maid of Masham filly, cut out
the work, Bayonette and Repulse lying next on the left,
with Mirella and Myrrhina heading the others. At the
T.Y.O post Sister to Minis was beaten, and Bayonette took
a slight lead of Repulse, this pair showing prominently in
front at this point. Entering the cords, ltirellai the Maid
