SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

THE ST. LEGER WINNER.
Both John Scott and Fiatman were moat cordially
congratulated on the scenes of Imperieuse. They may
Well be proud of their achievements. John Scott never
Pent an animal in finer condition to the post than
Imperiense, and despite her unaccountable running at
York, he had the firmest faith in her. The fact, as we
unierstand it, is, that after the York meeting Imperieuse
was tried with Warlock, and so satisfactorily did she
acquit herself that a large commission was sent out to
back her, and that commission was partly executed during
Warwick races. John Scott has the additional triumph
of having carried off the St. Leger two years in suc-
cession, accomplishing the feat with outsiders. Flatman,
too, was warmly congratulated on following up his
achievements of last year, when be won the Great York-
shire Ilandieap on Typee and the St. Leger on Warlock.
Hie success on Imperiense upon this occasion afforded
1):.m a double gratification, as she is the daughter of his
favourite horse Orlando, on whom he won the Derby in
1844. Flatman has now three times carried off the St.
Leger, viz. : in 1848, on Surplice ; in 1856, on War-
lock ; and in 1857 on Imperieuse, and every one who
admirers skilfn riling, Boned judgment, and unassuming
behavirmr, must hope that he will live to add many
. n.vet tit. Legere to his triumphs.
