SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING.
MONDAY EVENlNG.—Although the list does not as yet ex-
hibit any extravagant " symptoms" of sport, we have every
reason to anticipate a briliiant wind-np to one of the best
seasons on record. On 4his day's racing we need not dwell—
it was ample; and now that so many horses are relaved
from the great event of the Meeting, there can be no doubt
that the Plates, Handicaps, and Selling StakeS will fill well,-
and that the addition of many other matches to those made
yesterday evening, will enable the Stewards to extend the
meeting to Saturday. Everything tends to encourage a belief
that such will be the case. The town was never known to be
sofull of horses, the weather favourable, although somewhat
boisterous, and the attendance of company of every grade
quite up to " concert pitch." Hitherto attention has been
exclusively devoted to the Cambridgeshire Stakes, which, not-
withstanding the declarations made at Tattersall's last week,
has turned out a good betting race. A great deal of business
was transacted on it last night, The Baron, Ould 3reland,
Alarm, Best Bower, Chertsey, Yardley, and Flattery having
plenty of friends; Ould Ireland decidedly most in demand;
Wolf-dog was on the decline. The prices, up to midnight,
were as fol!ows :-

We have already stated that a large company has been
attracted to the town by the prospect of fine weather and
line sport, and large it is without taking into account the
" chalice customers" who availed themselves of the special
train, with the sole purpose of witnessing the race for the Cam-
bridgeshire. All the inns are full ; and lodgings, hacks, and
fiys have been, and are likely to continue to be, at a high
premium till the end of the Meeting.: Our attention
as yet has been so entirely taken up by the immediate busi-
ness of the day, as to put a list of the arrivals out of the
question. Premising, therefore, that his Royal Highness Prince
George of Cambridge, and a host of fashionables were on the
heath, we must proceed without further preliminary to de-
scribe, as fully as circumstances will admit of, the various
events brought to an issue this afternoon.
Sweepstakes of 10 sovs. each ; for three yrs old, 7st 71b ; four,

Phebus-3 to 1 agst Khorasan.
The Devil-to-Pay made play at a good pace, followed by
Beaumont and Captain Phebus to the Duke's stand, where the
lead was taken by Captain Phebus, who was never afterwards
caught, and won by half a length, Khorassan, who laid
fourth to the distance, second, and the Devil-to-Pay a bad
third. _ _

Fair Charlotte.

Hartshorn went off with the lead, but in a few strides re-
signed to Scarlet Runner, who, with Paultons and the Ama-
ryllis filly in close attendance, made running at a good pace
to the New Ground. Paultons then went in front, and had
a decided lead till half-way up the ropes, when Fair Char-
lotte challenged, caught him on the post, and made it a dead
heat; Scarlet Runner an indifferent third. The stakes were
afterwards divided, and Fair Charlotte walked over.

Best Bower, 15 to 1 agst Chertsey, 17 to 1 agst Yardley, 20
to 1 agst Wee Pet, 25 to 1 agst King Cob, 50 to 1 agst Flattery,
50 to 1 agst Espoir, and 50 to 1 agst Event.—Tbe horses
were got off at the first attempt, and in the most perfect style
imaginable, all being so nearly level, that there could not
have been four lengths between the first and last; Best
Bower and Yardley were a trifle in advance, perhaps, but
were immediately pulled back, and Jet took up the running
at a strong pace, followed by Chertsey, Best Bower, Yardley,
Alarm, Secundus, Event, Elemi, and several others, The Baron
lying about eighth, with Wee Pet in his wake. In very
nearly this order they went a few strides beyond the Red
Stand; Event then rushed through her horses, and went on
with a strong lead, followed by Best Bower and Yardley,
Alarm on their left, about fourth, The Baron, Elemi, Wee
Pet, Ould Ireland, and several others, whose colours we could
not catch, following them. The front rank was unbroken up
to the Duke's Stand, where Ould Ireland and The Baron—in
fact, all the Irish horses were beaten, and Alarm, taking the
second place, and Yardley the third, the race was left to them.
Alarm waited to the cords, where he went up to Event,
quitted her half-way up, and won by a couple of lengths,
