SPORIING INTLLLIGiiNCE.

(PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
The York Meeting fully repaid th, se who too
the trouble to visit it. The attendaricu was much-larp:
than usual; aid the fi. Ids of horses were more numeroe'
and or a bete_ r calibre than has been seen of late yea°
The result sit the GI, se Y. re S-akes clearly shalre
that the asks was a more c •. -eet run race then Al
Derby—Antandale, the second in the latter race,
,beinl
nowhere, while Misa Sarah, the third in the forget
race, beat the Goodwood mare by four lengths, and WO
therefori-, justly rased to treed: dieguished rank of firel
ittliourite fur ;be Sc. Leger. A. I nue to take credit to
myself when successful in :oy pr. dictions, I am not dit
less ashamed to own tnut Al this race I was most cunt'
pletely out in my calculation., Annandale and Jiliglepel
b ing the two last in the rase. But as I stated, rlll
reason for fancying vein was ott account of their public
sunning, and from always adopting that alone as the
ululation of my opinion, which has be, n so trequenfli
correct during the past mouths, that I trust I shall 01
be condemned by my readers. In the Great EM
Handicap, which furnished the s omewhat unusual large
field of eighteen horses, Vol au Vent, the anim,sl. I er
petted to see first, did ns L start, and L'ttle HamPIA
my tither selection, was placoqi second from the winner
Coheiress, a mare that will take a great deal of beating'
The Filly Stakes Loa ia, with Nat, won rather twill
from the favourite, Marian Ramsay, who was a little
stale from her running so frequently.
The 30 Sties. Sweepstakes were won by that game
animal, Midlothian, in a manner so gratifying, to hie
friends, that they took 30 to 1 about him for the "St
Leger.
Mr. Mostyn's Dean Swift, with 4st. 101 b., made short
work of the field he met with in the Free Handicap.
In the Chesterfield Handicap my selections, Philip and
Godfrey, were first and second, both animals having re'
covered from their ill temper, and fur a wonder running
kindly.
The Prince of Wales' Stakes, as I fancied, brought II
capital field to the post, and the race was won by tb°
fortunate sportsman, Mr. Ramsay, with his colt hyP
combe, in such a manner as to raise still higher the hoe
Of the Midlothian party for the great northern race'.
The Liverpool Luminary was completely extinguisb.
to-day, and her numerous friends burnt their finger`
smartly by touching her. The other races call for s°
particular observation. Smeetmcat's match with 111.
heritress was a nearer thing than many imagined ft
would be, and it required all Nat's fine riding to win:lll'
a head.
The entries for the Egham Meeting were of ,so in'
ferior a calibre, and the horses engaged in the different
stakes having met so often, that any person taking the
slightest interest in racing must have been quite as well
aware of their eptaiities es myself, I thought I would not
tali, up the space in your pap.-T, or the patience of your
readers, by recapitulating them.
The Warwick Meeting commences on Tuesday next
with a rather thin list; still, however, from the attrar
tents that the plac, holds out, and from the fact of there
bein4 some important alteration in the St*
Leger betting, the bating men are sure to visit it ill
gi eat force.

The meeting commences, is most meetings genera/
do, with a trial stakes, for which the entries chise tcr
m,.rrow.
We then have the Guy Produce Stakes, to -erkielii
there are eight subscribers. Of the animals engage ain
the race, three are from the Steekbridge stable, andlll6
property of that lucky two year-old gentleman, Nil:,
Wref ird ; and as he has so otter, won this stake, I tble''
it most likely that one of his lot will be found s .perier
to the field. The only opponent he has to fear is Gwit.
lior, a colt. who has recently run most respectell'
Carissima I should have imagined would have had as
excellent chance, but for her defeat last week. To kited'
ding Day and Gwalior I think I must assige this race,
with a preference for the form, r.
Next comes the Leamington Stakes, which excites Jesi
interest than usual in the sporting world, probably oa
account of the St. Leger betting extending over Such 6,
large field of horses. Few handieaps have furnished
better races than this has done. Last year Lord Exeter
won it with Algernon, beating Advice, another three'
year-old, and a good field, by a head. In 1843 3'ir
Forth won it with that gains three-year-old Venom'
beating Greenfinch and Lucy Banks. I doubt, however,
if a three-year-old can be found to follow their wiling°
on this occasion. The acceptances are sevente# in
number, and commence with old Coranna, who has been
favoured by the handicapper with 9st., and although be
has been running about the country so much latelY, Irf.;
I think he will be found better than many that are L.
in. His forte is exactly two miles, and no further.
Lord Warwick's Yardley, Bst. 61b., comes next under
my eye. He is a useful sort of horse, but with Bst. 60,
I imagine will find the course too far for him by a quer
ter of a mile.
For the Wolverhampton Stakes, with 7st. 51b., Glosal
at the same weight beat him a length. Of Mr. 11141 c"
lam's powerful lot, two only have been left ill, 01.21
Trueboy and Freeman. Of these the former is a [OPT
sort of horse, and can, when be likes, run extreuseq
well ; but his temper lately seems to have entire)l
spoilt him, and he wont run a yard. The isOr
horse's pretensions chiefly rest upon winning a•platn
at Chester, beating, after four heats, Lord Stanley'!"
Psalmsinger, winner of tl.e Stewards' Cup at Goodwo4
and of the two, I must say, I prefer Freeman infiniteli-
Rederick, the second fur the Goodwood Stakes, vitt)
Ist. 91b., must be a very different animal from the-fle.
deriek, with 6st. 111 b., that I recommended to public
attention for that great race. With the present weight
upon him, I think hie chance a most slender one.
Lightning, 7st. 7:b. seems to run worse and worse ot
every occasion he conies out. I think he has been 10
much hacked about to be successful here.
I now come to my old favourite Glossy, who, were ell!
to run on the terms impesed upon her by the handingr
per originally, would, I have not the least doubt, torn
out the winner. But, as she has to carry 10.1 b. extra for
winning at Paisley and elsewhere, and having so favour
ably rim at Doncaster fi.r the Great Yorkshire Handl'
cap,l doubt ie she aid start ; it she dues, however,
think. even with the extra weight, there will be nothivg
found to beat her, unless it is Pythia. Mr. Peel'.
Jack Sheppard, with Ist., is eurst d. like Trneboy, with
a temper that makes it decg. roux fir anybody to trust
him with a sixpence ; added to which, he is a horse of
very mediocre character. Mr. Clifton's' Nottitighs
(the Mundig coif, pureha-ed at the stiff price of 1,000
guineas) is very faveuta,:ly et 6 to 12, and ought to take
a good deal of beating. I expect that he will be
fund very handy at the finish. Rochester belougs
to a gentleman who has won many a race on this
curse, but I do not imagine the Leensinster Stakes for
1845 he will be able to count unsung them. His pre,iious
doings may be easily iniagieed, when, although
age:l horse, 6st. 111 b. is Fancied to be quite sufficient for
him to carry now. His defeat for the Geodwood Stakes

his owner attributes to the heavy state of the ground.;
and getting through dirt not being his forte. Wee FA,

with bit. 81b., cannot follow Algernon's example rat,
year. Old George's, Elixir's, and Glendower's prospects of:
winning I should pronounce hopeless. Pythia, after thi
long rest she has enjoyed, I have great hopes of, 04
prefer decide dly to the three other animals of her owl
age. To sum up therefore—if Glossy does not go, I
shall then trust to Coranna or Pythia to pull me through
—with a strong prLft-renee for the latter.

On Wedm-sday we have the Foal Stakes, with 10 subs-
Should the Libel come I imagine he will walk over : if

he does not, why then out of the others I prefer ramig:
Carissirea and Mr. Wreford's Economist colt.
Of the six named for the 10 Sovs. Stakes, the only one'
of whom I have heard a good character is Cherry Bounce•
Twelve animals are named for the Warwick Cup, the
race for which was wont to create as much interest as the
Ascot or Goodwood ones do now. As the distance
is four miles, and as only two engaged are celis"
brated for staying a distance, I shall select them for of

winners— they are Mice Hawthorn and the Best:Of"

Three, and the former, I imagine, will be found the be

of the two.

The Stand Stakes.—Mr. Meiklam can hardly CO.
winning with his lot. Freeman and Hampton I expeS.:
to see well up in front.

Thu Queen'," Plate and a Sidling Plate will bring to
close the meeting as: Warwick for 1845.
