SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET, TUESDAY NIGHT
The large sum (at least 18,0001.) won by the Foig-a-
ballagh party, has proved so complete a " sedative" to
the betting fraternity, that speculation for the present,
is at a stand still. The race itself, was the most brilliant
triumph ever achieved by a three-year-old, in this or any
other country. " Fog," as he is familiarly termed,
without ever having been stretched, winning so easily,
that another stone on his back woull not have stopped
him. He is in the Cambridgeshire, and will carry the
same weight as he did this afternoon.
There are only three races for to-morrow, viz. :—The
Town Plate, for which Jamie Forest, Anonyme, Robima
and Priscilla Tomboy are named ; the Steppingly Stakes,
for whick Prologue and Old England are likely to be
the sole competitors, and the Bretby Stakes, for which
Longitude, Zahra, Full-sail, Fallacy, the Mary Ann, and
Estelle fillies stand in.

Lord Glasgow's He-has-a-Name pays forfeit to Prince
of Wales.

(RECEIVED LAST NIGHT.)
NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.
TUESDAY NIGHT.
We subjoin the promised details of the race for the
Cesarewitch:—

Croton Oil jumped off with the lead at the top of his
speed, but had not gone two hundred yards before Semi-
seria broke away, passed him, and in a few strides was at
least five lengths in advance, her followers being Coal-
Black Rose, Lightning, Jamal, Glossy, and several
other light weights, Foig-a-ballagh and lonian lying
in the rear, away from their horses. Semiseria went
on with the running at a tremendous pace to the R.M.
post, where she was beaten, and the lead fer a moment
was left with Coal-Black Rose and Jamal ; at the New-
ground, however, Lightning went in front, Foig-a-bal-
lagh, who had joined the ruck of horses before they
were through the gap, following him ; behind
were the Emperor, Algernon, Vibration, and
lonian •, and in their wake Venus. Lightning went
down the hill with a clear lead, and had he been ridden
judiciously, would have made a most respectable finish,
but, for want of a pull, was fairly run to a stand-still,
and Foig-a -ballagh, galloping past him in the bottom,
went on by himself, and won with the greatest ease, by
three lengths, Lightning having swerved the moment
he was headed. Venus passed her horses in the bushes,
and finished a bad third, the Emperor fourth, Algernon
fifth, and Vibration sixth. The others were spread all
over the course, and either walked or cantered home,
the last to reach the chair being Croton Oil, Heslington,
and David. The Souvenir filly, William le Gros, and
Scalteen, never could live the pace, and were beaten be-
fore they had gone half a mile ; in short, in the opinion
of those who had stationed themselves at the ditch, the
race, from the moment Semiseria had given up the
lead, was reduced to a match between Foig-a-
ballagh and Lightning, and any odds on the
former from the bushes. Looking at it altogether
—the weights, the distance, the pace, and the ease
with which it was accomplished—we may safely de-
clare this to be the most extraordinary performance
for a three years old that has ever been placed on record.
The heavy rain that fell during the whole of the even-
ing was not a more effectual damper than the result of
the race—none but those immediately connected with the
stable believed it possible that a three years old could
win at such weights ; hence it was looked upon as " coin-
ing money" to bet against Foig-a-ballagh ; and the up-
shot is, that " the ring" is hit to the amount of at least
20,0001., of which 11r. Irwin alone wins upwards of
13,0001. ! To make matters worse, 25, 30, and 40 to 1
has been laid against the horse winning the Cesarewitch
and Cambridgeshire, and 1,000 to 12 against these events
and the Grand Duke Michael. Two of them have come
off in his favour, and for the third (the Cambridge-
shire) even betting between him and the field. After
such an " agreeable surprise," the metallics were not
much in request ; the only bets, in fact, that were made
were 50 even on Foig-a-ballagh against The Cure,
Rowena, Evenus, Walpole, Counsellor, and Sir Ab-
strupus for the Cambridgeshire, and 30 to 1 each against
Connaught Ranger and Fitzallen for the Derby.
The Ratan investigation was resumed after the races,
and adjourned, after a long sitting, until to-morrow
morning.

WEDNESDAY.
The rain poured down in torrents throughout the
night, and did not cease till nine o'clock this morning,
producing a great change in the state of the turf, which
became thoroughly softened. The Stewards resumed
their inqairy into the Ratan affair, and continued
thus engaged till twelve o'clock, when a further ad-
journment took place till after the races. It is
extremely doubtful, however, whether any decision will
be given during the present meeting. The gentlemen
who are charged with betting against the horse on Sam
Rogers's account had not been heard ; it is therefore
impossible to form any opinion as to the probable result.
The settling took place in the course of the day, and all
passed off satisfactorily, with some few exceptions. The
best judges have been deceived, and they have paid
dearly for the pertinacity of their opinions. This and
Mr. Tattersall's sales afforded ample sources of attraction
till three o'clock, when the sports commenced, and came
off in the following order:—
The Town Plate of 501. for three yrs, 7st 41b; four yrs,
Bst 41b; five yrs, Bst I llb ; six yrs and aged, 9st llb.
T.M.M. Winner to be sod for 2001.
Mr. Booth's Priscilla Tomboy, 5 yrs (Sly) 0 1

Mr. J. Drake's Anonyme, 4 yrs 3
Lord Eglinton's Jamie Forest, aged
7 to 4 agst Jamie Forest, 2 to 1 agst Robinia, and 3 to
1 agst Priscilla Tomboy.
Jamie Forest cut out the work to the cords, where
Robinia and Priscilla Tomboy passed him, ran home
together, and finished with a dead heat, Anonyme,
who was well up, beating Jamie by about a head. For
the deciding heat, sto 4 was laid on Robinia. Won by
half a length.
The Steppingly Stakes of 50 sous. each. T.Y.C. (5 Subs.)
Mr. Gully's Old England, Bst 31b (J. Howlett) 1
Duke of Bedford's Prologue, Bst 71b 2
7 to 4 on Old England, who made all the running, but
was challenged a few strides from the chair, and pressed
so closely, that Howlett had some difficulty in landing
him first by a neck.
The Bretby Stakes of 100 sovs. each, h ft, for two years
old fillies, Bst 71b. Last three-quarters of R.M.
(14 Subs.)
Lord G. Bentinck's Longitude (Marson) 1

Estelle filly, and 4 to 1 each agst Fallacy and the Mary
Ann filly. Zebra and Colonel Peel's filly made the run-
ning at a strong pace to the bushes, where they were
passed by Longitude, Estelle, and Full Sail, the former
having the lead, which he maintained to the end, win-
ning by half a length. Full Sail was beaten the same dis-
tance from the Estelle filly; the Mary Ann filly a bad
fourth.

RUNNING MATCH FOll. TWENTY POUNDS A-SIDE.—
On Monday the great match between Badcock, of Bir-
mingham, and Maxfield, of London, came off near the
Bald-faced Stag, Wimbledon. Both men had acquired
great celebrity, and drew together a large assemblage
of persons. Badcock received thirty-five yards' start.
The ground having been measured, the men entered
into the contest at great speed, and at half a mile Max-
field sucmeded in overtaking his opponent, and then
went a-head, which position he maintained, and won the
race by twenty yards. The one mile was run by the
winner in five minutes and twenty-eight seconds. In
betting Badcock was the favourite, and large sums of
Ducey ehoged hinds.
