SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING—MONDAY,
A broad sheet, containing 72 events to come off during
the week (with power to add to their number), a town more
full of horses than even this metropolis of racing had
hitherto been known to be, and lodgings only to be had at a
high premium, gave token of a most successful Houghton
meeting. The special trains of Sunday and Monday had full
cargoes, and the card of the day, although samewhatmeagre
in its other items, was replete with interest on account of
the character of the 2-yr-olds engaged in the Criterion, and
the Ante-Cambridgeshire llandicap,with 25 horses coloured.
The attendance of the fashionable world was unusually
large, and the racing, which began before 1 o'clock, af-
forded plenty of sport until 4, Two slight showers fell dur-
ing the afternoon, but lasted not long enough to make mat-
ters at all unpleasant. In the Criterion, which was the last
race but one, and produced a field of 10, Old Calabar kept
up the good name he had previously earned by winning
cleverly, and confirmed the opinion his friends had formed
of him when they backed at the small odds quoted below.
The winner of the Handicap, Acco, it will be remembered,
ran second to Henham Lass for the Nursery Stakes at this
meeting last year. Her jockey had drawn his weight so
finely before the race that he was unable to turn the scale
after winning until his bridle was brought in. Tho only
change we could notice in the betting on the Cambridge-
shire was in the price of Palestro, who advanced to 14 to 1,
with an upward tendency, in front of the rooms before din-
ner. The winner of the Maiden Plate was objected to as not
being maiden, because he had won the first race of the day.
Selling Handicap of 10 sovs each, for 2-yr-olds. The winner
to be sold for 150 sovs, if demanded, &c. Ab. M. 9 subs.

the cords, when the Molly filly increased her lead, and came
on two lengths in advance of Absinthe, the Picnic filly, and
St. Lawrence, the four being some lengths in advance of
the others. Half-way down the hill the Molly filly gave way
to Absinthe, who was immediately after joined by Mr.
Crawfurd's filly ; a fine race home ensued between the two

FOO r RACE.

A foot race of four miles, in which the men were handi-
caped, took place at the St. llelena-gardens, ncar Birming-
ham, yesterday afternoon, in the presence of between 3,000
and 4,000 persons. The competitors were Mills, celebrated
for his performances at six miles, and who appeared at
"scratch;" Deerfoot at 50 yards, and Roberts and Richards
at 440 yards. The men were started at a few minutes after
4, and ran round a broad path encircling a kind of green-
sward. Dcerfoot passed Roberts and Richards when about
three-fourths of the ground was run over, and he main-
tained his lead. lie was once challenged for two or three
minutes by Mills, who approached within a few yards, but
never overtook the Indian, who seemed to run easily though
awkwardly. Deerfoot won ; Mills lost a portion of the
ground he had gained and fell out, though it was said that
he ran second when the four miles had been completed, but
that there was a run over of 205 yards by the Indian, and
when the men stopped Richards was in the second place.
Roberts had given up earlier. The four miles were run in 21
minutes and 42 seconds. Betting between third and fourth
miles 3 to 1 on Deerfoot.
