SPORTING IN rELLIGENbE.

[NI) s 611- SUMMER MEETING.—WEDNESDAY.

The patronage awarded to the Windsor Tooting to-day
was considerably in-excess of that of yesterday, and the
eun.was if anything hotter,
and the course consequently
as hard as it was possible to be. The field; however,
were but little short of those of yesterday, the only falling
off in the sport being the non-filling for till-aged Handicap
Sweepstakes. The Diomedia filly, who had been backed
freely at the lists kr the Chamber Cup, was an absentee,
and the race was reduced to a match b Itween
and Fitz-Ivan. The latter, who it will be remembered
ran second to Abergeidie last
year in the City and
Subut ban, had no difficulty in disposing of Pontus ; but
his backers were kept. in doubt some thee as to the direc-
tion of the stakes, as an objection was lodged against the
winner for going the wrong side of a post; although it
was over-ruled by the Stewards, after inquiry. The
half-mile Handicap Plate, which produced a fair field, fell
to the favourite, Substance, who added to the repu-
tation of Mr. Mather's sire Prime Minister, and got back
for the talent some of their yesterday's losses. The Wind-
sor Handicap saw a warm favourite in Lord Palmerston,
who has at length carried tg the blue" of Sir Chas. Legard
to the fore, and defeated The Priest, who was immensely
fancied by the Northern division. Mr. Brayley, who ran
third with Violent, objected to the first twe, and Colonel
Knox, whose representative, Armourer, was placed fourth,
objected to the first three, both objections being on the
ground of their having gone the wrong side of a post,
but the objections could not be sustained. Maidment fol-
lowed up his success on Lord Palmerston by winning the
two and three-year-old handicap with Lily, who got back
Mr. Brayley a lot of his Violent and Moose money.
The Lady Palmerston gelding was again victo-
rious by winning the Selling Stakes, and Mr. H. Wright
guineas for him at auction, or 300 over the selling price,
so that Mr. George netted 150 guinea; which was more
thought so much of his performance that be gave 330
than the winner got, and besides claimed a fairish mare
in Ursula. Armourer recompensed Colonel Knox for his
defeat in the Windsor Handicap by winning the Welter
Cup, in which Tom French had the satisfaction of van-
quishing the gentleman rider, Mr. Edwards, on Lord
Ronald. Electricity upset the odds laid on Masaniello for
the Windor Stakes, but the followers of the French stable
declined to believe it was the colt's correct form, and after-
wards he was backed rather freely for the Derby at 1,000
to 30. An objection lodged by Grimahaw against the
boyf a mile straight*
start remains in abeyance, and the sport was concluded by
Rhododendron beating Sister to Veda. and five others in
the Nursery Plate. Subjoined are the details
