BOAT RACE FOR TEN Sovs.—A great deal of com-
petition has for some time existed between some sporting
pat ties in the towns of Cowes and Newport. The fer-
nier has fur yearn been noted for its fine boats and
yachts, allowed by all to be some of the fastest
in England, and as being good foul, as well es
fair, weather boats. There are a great many amateurs
in Nee port, amongst them some coach-butliers, who
have taken it in their heads to build some boats to com-
pete with the Cowes and Hyde-built ones, and two beau-
tiful ones they have built with their mahogany (doubt-
less from lines furnished them). We do not pretend that
these men, however good mechanics they be, cou!d, with-
, out instructions, or ever having teen a boat built, build
such boats as these light airy machines; but it is no
small credit to them that they have built boats that have
beaten all the crack boats in the neighbouring ports, all
of which were too heavy for still water. The Cowes'
men, not ',king to be so beaten, had an iron boat built,
and, as their old boats were only twenty-four feet ones,
while the Newport ones were thirty feet (giving them
an advantage of six feet), they had their ironing
reachiee a thirty foot one. The Newport pet boat was
named the Attempt, the Cowes one the Experi-
ment. At Ryde Regatta it proved a bad one, as she
was too slight—she doubled up and was beaten by the
Attempt; at Newport Regatta she came in before the
Attempt, but their claim to the prize was disputed.
This match was then made, and all the neighbourhood
seemed to take an interest in it. Tuesday last was the
day, and six the hour; both_ boats were ready, but the
Newport backers objected to the Cowes' crew, and would
not row against them. Why this should be, we cannot
tell, as they were the same that rowed the boat at New-
port Regatta when this match was made,—three
Ta 3 lora and a Clarke, only about half a man altogether!
They had, therefore, to row the Experiment over the
course and take the 10'.; and, as the Newport prize of
71. was also given up to them at the same time, they did
not make a very bad experiment of it. The coachmakers
complained a good deal of the iron pet taking the French
polish off their mahogany.
CHEAP EXCURSIONS.—The directors of our railrcads
and steamboats have at length found out that their best
friends are the million, and that these cheap trains pay
them better than their old dear ones. On Sunday the
steamers landed about 300 pleasure seeking folks,
brought down from London to Southampton by the
South-Western Railway. On Monday acarly 500 were
landed here, that were brought from London, Oxford,
and Reading to Southampton by the Great Western and
South-Western trains. The experiment, answering so
well this year, will be carried out more extensively next.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
DONCASTER RACES.
TUESDAY NIGHT.

The Subscription-room was thronged until long after
midnight, but the business transacted was of small
amount, and, with ore or two trifling exceptions, with
scarcely any effect on the prices of the St. Leger fa-
vourites; 2 to 1 was laid once, and 7 to 4 currently, in
the early part, on the crack, but at the close, from the
bold front put on by the field( re, 6 to 4 was the highest
offer; 5 to l was laid against Pitsford and 9 to 1 against
Beehunter; 12 to 1 offered against Windischgmtz, and
20 to 1 against Chatterbox and Rusaborough. No others
were mentioned.

WEDNESDAY.
The number of lines which now communicate with
Doncaster, and the extraordinary inducements offered to
all classes in the shape of cheap special trains, have
driven nearly all the traffic off the road; hence, instead
of having one's rest disturbed this morning by the con-
stant rattle of wheels from daybreak, the town remained
in a state of comparative repose until ten o'clock. The
monster trains from Sheffield then began to disgorge
their thousands; these, as the day advanced, were fol-
lowed by others of r qual magnitude from Liverpool, and
the great manufacturing districts in Lancashire and
Yorkshire, from Newcastle, Edinburgh, Birmingham,
Derby, Worcester, and the metropolis, and up to two
o'clock, the hour at which the racing commenced, the
" cry was, still they come." Tho influx was continuous
and immense, and we venture to say that what Doncaster
has lost in the grade of its supporters was, on this oc-
casion, amply mado up in numbers. The streets, for
two or three hours, were almost impassable, particularly
in the vicinity of the betting-rooms, to obtain an en-
trance into which was a task of no ordinary difficulty.
There the crowd was quite in keeping with that without,
but business was the very opposite of what we have had
so often to record on the morning of the St. Leger day.
With reference to the movements, it is only necessary to
say that 6 to 4 was currently offered on Voltigeur, 4 to
1 and 9 to 2 taken about Pitsford to a largo amount, and
30 to 1, to two or three hundred pounds, about the
Italian. There was no disposition shown to hack The
Beehunter, Bolingbroke, or any of the Irish horses.
Cyprus and Mulgrave were scratched at a quarter be-
fore nine o'clock in the morning.
It would be in vain to attempt to give an idea of the
concourse on the race-ground. We will simply state
that it was " prodigious," and that both the stand and
enclosure were so densely crowded as to materially in-
terrupt the transaction of business. We must reserve a
list of the fashionahles present for a future dispatch.
For the reason given in our last we cannot dwell on
the events of the day, it must suffice that one of the
most exciting struggles ever witnessed on Doncaster
racecourse issued in a dead heat between Vol:igeur and
the Irish horse, Russborough ; Bolingbroke, whose
chance, as well as Italian's, was prejudiced by Russbo-
rough running against him, finished a bad third. The
deciding heat was not run when our parcel was sent from
the course.

CRICKET.
ELEVEN OF ENGLAND v. SIXTEEN OF
SUSSEX.

This match was resumed on Tuesday on Gausden's
Ground, near Brighton, and seldom has there Leen an
occasion on which the spectators have had so fine a
" batting" treat placed before them. At the close of the
day the score stood thus:—
