SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING 1844.
NEWMARKET, MONDAY EVENING, 5 P.m.
The company in the town has cohsiderably increased since
our last, and as the weather continues fine, and the anxiety
to see the first favourite for the Derby is, if possible, greater
than ever, we mat look for the largest attendance to-morrow
that has been seen at Newmarket since the Crucifix year.
Great numbers were on the heath this morning to see the
two cracks; both were out and looking the " perfection of
racing" trim. The Ugly Buck, who made his appearance
about six o'clock, was Tor nearly three hours the " observed
of all observers," and it will be satisfactory to hie
absent admirers to hear, that however lazy and " pot
tering" in his walk, his action when gallopping is,
by the major!ty of critics, pronounced to be un-
exceptionable ; that he merits the character given
him of being " the best horse ever trained at. Danebury," re-
mains to be proved—that the field he will meet to-morrow is
good enough to extend a horse of such formidable pretensions
may be doubted. Meanwhile betting on the Derby pro-
gresses languidly ; 5 to 2 is taken about the Ugly Buck, 17
to 1 each about Campanero and Leander, 25 to 1 about Bay
ikfomus, and 1,000 t 0.15 freely about Elemi. For the 2,00.0
Guineas Stakes 3to 1 goes current on the Ugly' Buck, and
.nly 3to 1 offerPd against his winning both events- The
late hour at which the races terminated must be our excuse
for deferring a list of the fashionable arrivals "until a more
favourable opportunity. Of the sport we subjoin the usual
details:-
