SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

EGLTAM RACES.-TUESDAY.

The falling off in the attendance to-day was most
marked, the ring and stand being but poorly patronised.
From the rain of the previous day and night the going
was very heavy, and this, combined with small fields,
made the spot anything but interesting. Indeed, the
jockeys, in the majority of events, left the issue to the last
quarter of a mile. The arrangement 3 of the meeting were
perfect, and by the energy of Mr. Manning punctual time
was kept, and all were enabled to get back to town early.
Tho first event was won by Precocious, who landed his
backers' money very easily, and the talent had another
success in the next event with Triana, on whom the money
was lumped. In the Princess of Wales Stakes, Arlington,
when lying in front, swerved right across the course ; and
in the Barons Stakes the saddle slipped round with Viney,
putting him hors de combat. Beyond these incidents,
the running calls for no further details than will be found
