fountains are now in constant operation from nipe in the morning
until dusk. Although the
jets only rise to a height of about five
or six feet, and produce a most paltry effect, the supply of water
exceeds 500 gallons per minute, and so profuse is its flow in the
wells, that after working all day the water does not diminish more
than five feet. The Chelsea Water-works Company, which base
hitherto supplied the difikrent Government offices, have received
orders to discontinue their supply at Midsummer, the mains having

SPORTING IN TELLIGEA

NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING.

NEWMARKET, SUNDAY AFTERNOON,—At the clo-sing of
the Craven week we published the engagements for the en-
suing meeting; we now repeat them for the purpose of show-
ing that the promise of sport held out by the list is not
likely to be delusive. To this end we have placed the usual
mark (an asterisk) before the names of the horses now in the
town, and in training; amongst those thus distinguished,
and the proportion is unusually large, will be found Worth-
less and Winchilsea, and Lord Glasgow's three fillies, which
arrived last night. It is said that Old England and Win-
chester will be here towards the middle of the week ; W'ather-
bit, we hear, is not coming. The Goodwood lot, which is
expected either this afternoon or to-morrow, will include
Refraction, Red Deer, and Longitude. While on this sub-
ject we E.ould state that Mr. Parry's Zanoni arrived last
night, and he will be entered for one of the plates, with the
object of bringing the question of pedigree within the juris-
diction of the Jockey Club, and thereby deciding the objec-
tion made to his nomination for the Chester Cup.
The grand feature of the week will be the 2,000 Guineas
Stakes, on Tuesday, for which Idas, Worthless, Winchilsea,

•
Wood Pigeon, Ki;dger, and one or two othErs are likely to
start. The list, however, irrespective of this event—and its
importance to those interested in the Derby cannot be over•
rated—is intrinsically good. On the first day there are eight
races made, of these all but the match between Cockamaroo
and the Amulet colt are expected to come off, and with
the addition of the plate, and one or two of the stakes that
close this evening, will realize sport enough for any reason-
able appetite. The subsequent engagements include a very
open 1,000 guineas stakes, and several matches and handicaps,
&c., of considerable interest ; Friday, as usual, although it
tOaSts of the Newmarket Stakes, is the weakest day in the
list. The subjoined is an outline of the bill of fare for the
week :
