SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BRIGHTON RACE MEETING—WEDNESDAY.
The prestige attaching to the Brighton Cup attracted a
much larger attendance to-day, a considerable augmenta-
tion being observed in every department, but especially in
the ling and Stand, which were extensively patronised.
The .weather was again delightfully fine, the sun's rays
being tempared by a cool breeze which swept up from the
sea. The fields were but of limited dimensions, and as

regards quality the sport exhibited but very little im-
provement upon that of yesterday. President Lincoln at
length did Mr. Payne a turn, opening tha proceedings
with a maiden victory in the Pavilion Plate, for which
he started favourite. The Rous Stakes was rather asus-

picious affair, as high odds were laid on Nor-
thern Star, and almost any price obtainable against
his two opponents, King Richard and Boquetiere.
The betting was sa shifty with respect to the
two latter, that in some parts of the ring five, and
even eight p 'ints more could be had than in others, and
Mr Poircey laid Mr Steel an even £lOO that King Richard
did not finish within ten lengths of the winner. Admiral
nous was asked to decide the bat, and after the race, in

reply to the bookmakers, he stated that not only was King
Richard not baton more than two lengths, but it was his

opinion that he could have won. The affair created a
coosidera,ble amount of smsltion at the time, and many
who witnessed the race fnly endorsed the outspoken

opinion of the ga'lant lawgiver. Tho Brighton Nursery,
which brought out ten runners, fell to Storm King, who
upset a warm favourite in the Becky Sharp filly ; and al-
though the same stable (J. Dawson's) started the Impera-
trice• colt, Storm King, who is a very blood-like ani-
mal, left off an equal favourite with the latter, al-
though perhaps sot backed for as much money. The
result was a great surprise, the Becky Sharp filly being
defeated very cleverly, whilst Drya I, the second favourite,
could gat no nearer than fourth. Th 3 Cup produced five
runners, of whom Speculum was made the favourite, but
the fielding for Blueskin was strong. Half a mile. from
home only the two Goodwoad rivals and Paul Jones were
left in the race with any chance of success, and on the re-
tirement of the Chester Cup winner,.Mr Savile's colt ob-
tained a slight lead, and Kenyon almost simultaneously
taking a pull at Speculum, Blueskiu's success was pro-

claimed by loud shouts, and odds offered on him, but di-
rectly Speculum was allowed his head he came away, and
won in a common canter, securing for the Duke of New-

castle, in the Brighton Cup, a fit companion to that which
the " Blaeklock" won ut Goodwood. Sir Oliver, with high
odds betted on him, won the Sussex Stakes from Lis only
opponent, Lady Lambton ; and after Lionel, with odds of
6 to 1 betted against him, had beaten a warm favourite in
Miss Gratwicke for the Welter Stakes, the racing con-
cluded with the Oviugdean Plate, which fell to Miss Gla-
diateur, the backers receiving a facer in the defeat of So-
ringapatam. Details are appended :

The flag was lowered at the first attempt to an equitable
start, the Becky Sharp filly cutting out the work with a
slight lead of the Imperatrice colt, Dryad, Tho Rajah,
and Storm King, Trade Wind bringing up the rear. The
leading division remained unchanged for halt the distance,
when the Imperatrice colt took up a position at the quar-
ters of the favourite, the pair coming on head and head
for a few strides, when Mr. York's colt dropped back
slightly, and Storm King came up on the inside at the
commencement of the Stand enclosure, and heading the
Danebury filly opposite the Stand, won cle :erly by a
length ; three-quarters of a length divided the Imperatrice
colt from the Becky Sharp filly, whilst Dryad was fourth,

cluster, tha Duke of Newcastle's colt being in the rear
of the lot. When about a hundred yards had been
covered The Returned took up the running, show-
ing the way at a moderate pace, Paul Jones and
Blueskin following at slight intervals, Speculum lying off.
After going about a quarter of a mile from the field be-
came somewhat straggled, bat close order was soon as-
sumed again, and at the half-mile post the command was
taken by Paul Jones, who at the same time materially im-
proved the pace, The Returned following at the quarters
of the Chester Cup winner, and Speculum at the same time
passed Turtullus, who, as they neared the mile post,
dropped into the rear with The Returned, leaving Paul
Jones with a slight lead of Blueskin and Speculum. Three •
quarters of a mile from home only the three placed wer
left in the race with any chance of success. Paul Jone

TILE HARVEST IN THE EAST.—The harvest is being
brought to a close in Suffolk. The wheat crop in West
Suffolk is considered to be above the average, both in
quantity and quality; the barleys are found, however, to
have suffered greatly from drought on the light lands. A
Newmarket letter states that barley and oats are being
harvested in that district ; the writer adds :—" The wheat
harvest in this neighbourhood is finished, and an abun-
dance of wheat of the finest quality ever seen has been got
up in splendid condition."
THE MOORS.—In the North Riding the grouse
prospects for the 12th are variable. The watchers gene-
rally say that the birds are strong and have hitherto been
healthy, but the long drought is beginning to tell, there
being no water. Some of the moors were not shot over
last season, and these promise well, and several will not be
shot over this season, because large fires have destroyed
the heather and game. Generally grouse are not numerous,
but with rain, as a rule, a fair amount of sport may be
looked for.

LADVERTISHMENT.]—Avoid Medicines: they always aggravate
chronic complaints: but Du Barry's delicious health-restoring
Reva,enta Arabica Food, which yields three times the nourish-
ment of the best meat, saves 50 times its cost in other remedies,
and invariably restores perfect digestion, strong nerves, sound
lungs, healthy liver, pure blood, refreshing sleep, functional
regularity, and energy to the most disordered or enfeebled. We
extract a few out of 68,000 cures;—" The Pope's health restored
by Du Barry's Food. Cure No. 68,413. "Rome, July 21, 1866.
—The health of the Holy Father is excellent, especially since,
abandoning all other remedies, he has confined himself entirely
to Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Foed. of which he consumes
a plateful at every meal. It has produced a surprisingly bene-
ficial effect on his health, and his Holiness cannot praise this excel
lent food too highly." From the "Gazette du Midi, July 25 Cure

The meeting of the National Artillery Association is
still left to the volunteers, and visitors are few and far
between. The firing on Wednesday is described as being
especially good, one corps, the Brighton, making 40 in
one score. Last year a score of 30 was sure of a prize.
Great progress, therefore, must have been made in the
interval. This great score was made in 5 min. 15 sec.,
and was thus as remarkable for rapidity of firing as for
accuracy of aim. Besides this, three corps—namely, the
Ist Sussex, the Ist A Cinque Ports, and the Ist Kent—
tied at 29, taking respectively 4 min. 52 sec., 6 min.
18 sec., and 7 min. 1 sec. for the five rounds. An exceed-
ingly smart man-of-war crew is expected to beat
to quarters and fire three rounds in 4 rain. 30 sec.,
but then they fire blank, and have wonderful
machinery for moving the guns. The volunteers working
in battery have only handspikes and their own strong arms
to run the long thirty-twos in and out with, and yet they
can take the wonderful aim we have noted above,
and still fire with extraordinary rapidity. The
firing is infinitely more interesting to the spectators
than the rifle shooting at Wimbledon, because
the ball can be distinctly seen striking the
water, sometimes making two or three skips, some-
times hitting the target and ricochetting, and sometimes
making a fair entry in its centre, which is at once
announced by a signal and hailed with a general and
generous cheer. The sport is most exciting to the
artillerists themselves, and we are sure it would be equally
so to the public if they could only come and see it.
Amongst the excellent scores made on Wednesday were
33 by the 3rd Essex, commanded by Captain Banes.
This occupied eight minutes, and was three over the
highest score made by the same corps last year ;
33 was also macre by the 12th Kent, commanded by
Captain Beveredge. This score occupied 7 min. 20 sec.,
and was also a considerable advance on last year's prac-
tice. Colonel Curtis, RA., who was present during the
firing, commended in the warmest terms both the accuracy
and rapidity of the volunteer artillerymen.
