SPORTING INTELLIGENCE

GOODWOOI) RACES.—YESTERDAY.
The racing this afternoon, with the exception of the
Nassau Stakes and Chesterfield Cup, was left to the
amateurs, to whom a novel opportunity for a " mount"
was afforded by an announcement in the lists that
" gentlemen wishing to ride for the Anglesey, March,
Bentinck. or Maidstone St..kes, might hire Lord George
Bentinck's horses engaged in those races." With this
facility the largeness of the entries and the numerical
strength of the club in riding members, it was to be ex
pected that the finale to the meeting would be consistent
with its commencement, and so it proved; the sport was
ample, the riding in several instances very superior, and
the speculation uncommonly brisk. The attendance,
however, was moderate, several of the fashionable visi-
tors, probably frightened by the threatening state of the
weather in the morning, or, mayhap, having found three
}may days enough to satisfy their taste for the sport,
having taken wing. Before we give the usual returns of
the racing, we should state that the King of the Nether-
lands took his departure for London at n►ne o'clock this
morning. His Majesty lies given a gratifying proof of
the pleasure he received from his visit by signifying his
intenti tit to present a cup to be run for next year, to be
called " The Orange Cup," and to be weights for age.
The two matches which stood first on the card havieg
gone off, the races commenced, at half-past one o'clock,
