SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET SPRING MEETING.—TUESDAY.
THE TWO THOUSAND-DAY.
The sound of wheels commenced early in the High-
street this morning ; every one was astir, and the
attendance on the Warren-hill and the running-
ground to see the gallops unusually large. Still
there was a lack of excitement, speculation, and
gossip caused by the position maintained by Lord
Lyon.

Never was there such a dull and uneventful night
laid before the race as that of yesterday. Nothing

• Janitor was second
on
favourite, but hardly more than in name, and place
investments were scarcely mentioned.
The morning was bright and warm, and our great
enemy the dust rampant. Now that the Jockey
Club have levied a toll of ss. on vehicles, might we
put in a word for a few water carts ? They would
be highly appreciated. We look for` the presence of
the Prince of Wales at the great Newmarket festi-
vals as a matter of course, and are happy to say his
Royal Highness was allowed to enjoy the sport un-
molested by loyal but troublesome crowds.
The attendance was beyond that of former occa-
sions, the people, horse and foot, extending in a
dense mass from the Stand, at the end of the Row-
ley Mile, to the Abingdon Bottom, and logiotnotion
was positively dangerous. The field for the great
race was larger than was at first expected-15 com-
ing to the post out of the 17 coloured. Most of
them, including Lord Lyon, were saddled at the
Ditch stables ; but Student, Mr. Savile's two,
Mount Palatine, Jack in the Green, and Apsley were
saddled in the Stand enclosure. Very little time was
lost at the post, and at a few minutes past 3 o'clock
Mr. M'George despatched them. Descending the
Bushes-hill the colours of the favourite were seen
in front, and from that point the race was over.
Only four were left in it as they came up the hill
to the chair, Lord Lyon winning very cleverly,
witkeut being called upon, Monarch of the
Glen, so little fancied that 1,000 to 15 might
have been obtflined against him, finishing a
length behind Lord Lyon, with Knight of the
Cresce4 well up. Student ran fast to th 3 bushes,
where he dropped back, and Janitor was beaten at
the distance. Freedom was ninth, and Auguste
was last, pulling up lame. The pace was good,
but still, from the lot that were behind the winner
we can scarcely estimate it as a Derby form.
Sweepstakes of 300 soya each, 100 ft, for 4-yr-old colts
and fillies. 4 miles 1 furlong 173 yards. 5 subs.

Pitt, 100 to 15 agst Centaur, 10 to 1 ftgst Haarlem, 100 to
8 each agst Guiuievre and Brick, and 100 to 7 each agst
Lord Douglas and Paris.
After several break-aways the lot were despatched to an
oven start. Indian Star, Brick, William Pitt, and King
Arthur, on the higher ground, got away in advance, the re-
maining horses running well together, with the exception
of Guinivelv, who brought up the rear. Halfway up the
cords Indian Star shot out, and although William Pitt made
his effort in the last 20 strides, and passed Brick, he failed
to reach Indian Star,who won cleverly by a length, half a
length between second and third. King Arthur was fourth,
Haarlem fifth, Guinivere sixth, Paris seventh, Lord
Douglas eighth, the last pair being Centaur and Vulture.

and Monarch of the Glen.
Precisely at six minutes past 3 o'clock the signal was
given to a good start. Robin Hood, who was sent to show
the way for Janitor, made the running, and soon held a
lead of half-a-dozon lengths. Wide on the left wore Free-
dom and Monarch of the Glen ; in the centre of the course
The Student, Lord Lyon, Janitor, Apsley, Knight of the
Crescent, and Auguste ; and on the right wore Leybourne,
Sealskin, and the Rapid Rhone's dam colt, the rear being
brought up by Jack-in-the-Green, Harefield, and Mount
Palatine. They ran with little perceptible change to ap-
proaching the Bushes, where Robin Hood, The Student,
Freedom, Apsley, and Auguste gave way, and Jack-in-
the-Green, Mount Palatine, and Harefield dropped several
lengths in the rear. Descending the Bushes-hill Lord
Lyon took a clear lead, and Janitor falling back imme-
diately afterwards, only Monarch of the Glen, Knight of
the Crescent, and the Rapid Rhone's dam colt wore left to
dispose of, but Lord Lyon held his lead, after taking it, to
the end, and won cleverly by a length ; head between se-
cond and third, three lengths between third and fourth ;
Janitor was fifth, Leybourne sixth, Robin Hood seventh,
Apsley eighth, Freedom ninth, Jack-in-the-Green tenth ;
and tho last lot wore Sealskin, The Student, Harefield,
Mount Palatine, and Auguste; the latter, it was rumoured
pulled up lame.
