SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET, THURSDAY.
The continuance of dry weather, however unfavourable
its influence on the race-course, has proved very serviceable
to the inhabitants, and will, we have no doubt, have a bene-
ficial effect on their contributions to the fund for improving
the races. It is many years since they had so full and pro-
fitable a Spring Meeting. Most of the visitors prolonged a
stay fur the One Thousand Guineas Stakes run for this after-
noon ; and others, who made a flying visit to see the "Two
Thousand," came down again this morning, enjoyed a fair
day's racing without the confusion that prevailed on Tues-
day, and left the heath after the last race in ample time for
the special ttain from Hockerill. Of the day's sport we have
below given full particulars. With reference to the principal
event, we should state that, on Wednesday afternoon, a good
deal of betting took place at 3 to 1 agst Pic Nic (the Estelle
filly), 7 to 2 and 4 to 1 agst Pug ; 3,4, and 5 to 1 agst Lady
Love (the Kremlin filly), and 6,7, and 8 to 1 agst Sister to
Mie. The backers of Lady Love, therefore, were not a
little chagrined to find on the "reading of the list" at night,
that their pet was scratched ; nor were the layers agst Kent's
two much better pleased by the odds, instead of 6 to 5 and
5 to 4 agst, having immediately changed to 6 to 4 on them.
The races commenced at two o'clock and terminated at
four with the following results
Match-2001. h ft. D. M. Lord Exeter's Wee Pet, 5 yrs,
Bst 6lb (Mann), beat Sir J. Hawley's Comrade, 3 yrs, 7st 41b,
(Nat), by twenty lengths-6 to son Comrade, who ruptured
a blood-vessel early in the race.

The following also ran :—Lord Albemarle's Tisiphone
(Whitehouse), Mr. Edwards's Prudence (E. Edwards), Lord
Exeter's Timbria (Boyce), and Mr. Newton'4 Sister to Ma
Mie (Stephenson). Betting-2 to 1 agst Pug, sto 2 aget
Pic Nic, 4 to 1 agst Prudence, 6 to 1 agst Heather Bell,
*nd 8 to 1 aget Lord Exeter's two. The race was run
throughout in pretty nearly the order it finished, Pic Nic
leading from end to end, and winning easy by a length,
Pug beating Heather Bell by a neck, Prudence a good
fourth, and Tisiphone fifth—the others nowhere.
Mr. Osbaldeston's Sorella, Bst 91b, received forfeit from
Duke of Bedford's Minotaur, 9st. A.F. ; 200, h ft.

Lord G. Bentinck's Hartshorn, 5 yrs, ist 81b
Duke of Rutland's fby Beiram out of Manto,4 yrs, 7st 31b 5
Even on Pic -Nic, and sto 2 agst The Poor Soldier. The
race was between the two favourites, Poor Soldier, who made
all the running, winning, after a close struggle up the cords,
by a neck, the filly never having quite got up. The others
were beaten off.

The Queen's Plate of 100 guineas ; for four yrs old, 9st 81b ;
five yrs, lOst 71b ; six yrs and aged, lOst 121 b. R.C.
Lord G. Bentinck's John o' Gaunt, aged (Nat) 1
Mr. Ramsbottom's Pine Apple, 5 yrs 2
Lord Sandwich's Plantagenet, 4 yrs
6 to 4 agst John o'Gaunt, 7 to 4 agst Pins Apple, and
7 to 4 agst Plantagenet.
Plantagenet went off at a moderate pace, and, for about a
mile and a half, had a lead of four or five lengths, when his
chance was nearly extinguished by a horseman, who, cross-
ing the course at speed, ran against and nearly knocked him
down. Immediately, however, recovering himself, he was
allowed to go on with the running, to within half-a-mile of
home; John o'Gaunt then went in front, followed by Pine
Apple, was never caught, and won easy, by a length and a
half; Plantagenet was beaten off.
THE ZANONI CASE. —The Stewards of the Jockey Club,
after hearing the evidence adduced on the part of the owner
of Zanoni, and after an examination of him in their pre-
sence by veterinary surgeons, have given an opinion that
his pedigree is not sufficiently proved to qualify him to start
for any race, and that unless his qualification be proved
before starting for the Chester Cup, bets against him will
be void. We may add, that no doubt of the
identity of the animal exists, or that he is other
wise than described—viz., the Gladiator colt, and
that it only remains to be proved that the colt de-
livered to Goodman and Higgins is the same that was deli-
vered by them to Worley at Symell. This evidence will
shortly be forthcoming, but not in time for the Chester Cup.
A daring robbery was committed here about eleven o'clock
on Tuesday night, on the person of Mr. Wiseman, sen. Al-
though within a few yards of the Horse and Groom, he was
stopped by three men, pulled off his horse, robbed of his
watch, and 101. in money, and brutally ill-treated. The
ruffians made their escape before their victim was sufficiently
recovered to give an alarm.
(RECEIVED THIS DAY.)
NEWMARKET, Tii URSDAY NIGHT.
In consequence of numerous departures, there was but a
small muster at the rooms this evening, and little or no bet-
ting. The following quotations, therefore, must be received
as little more than nominal :

NEWMARKET STAKES.
8 to I on Idas.
All are struck out, except Idas, Wood Pigeon, li-edger,
John Davis, Fuzbos, and Winchester. John Davis is not here.
This and the match between Garry Owen and Minotaur
are the only races for to-morrow. Espoir and the Bishop of
Roinford's cob receive forfeit.
