SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
CHESTER RACES—TuEsnay.

During the last three or four years the ent: ies for the Trade
Cup, the crack event of the meeting, have gradually increased
in number, and additional importance has been attached to the
race in all the sporting districts. So flattering a change has
arisen partly from the liberality of the citizens, and partly from
the facilities for rapid communication afforded by the comple-
tion of the principal railroads, by which the sporting towns in
every quarter of the kingdom are brought within half the dis-
tance (calculating by time) of each other that it formerly took
to get from Newmarket to Epsom. This facility has
induced the South-country Turfites to patronise the Cup,
hence we find that the " start" this afternoon included
three horses trained at Goodwood, one near Winchester, and
oue at Northleach, and that for the first time the race has had
a regular " standing" in the quotations from Tattersall's. The
appearance of the course this afternoon proved that the interest
excited was not confined to the demonstration pointed out;
immense numbers of the lovers of the turf, of both sexes and of
every grade, were railed down in the course of Sunday and
Monday; Hooton, the hospitable mansion of Sir W. M. Stanley,
was full of company, and the town itself so fitonged, that
lodgings and other accommodation were at a premium. We
should state here, that the Meeting formerly began on Monday
and was spun down to Friday, but that, by a re-
solution of the Town Council last. year, it was
razed down to four days, commencing on Tuesday.
The propriety of this change cannot be doubted, as
it not only threw the same amount of money
and sport into a narrower compass, but enabled the metropoli-
tans to see the cup run for without missing a day at "the
corner." Having said thus much to show that the Chester
races have commenced under favourable auspices, we may ob-
serve that the same causes which have given rise to their pre-
sent importance, will, with judicious arrangement, make their
improvement permanent. As a general introduction to the
racing described below, we may state briefly that the attendance
en the course this afternoon was immense in number and fashion,
and the weather as favourable as could be desired; the only
drawback was the dreadfully hard state of the ground. Leaving
a list cf the principal visitors for a future report, we subjoin a
full return of this day's sport :

Won cleverly by a length ; Tripoli was fourth, though not
placed.

A little before twelve o'clock on Friday night, a
fire Irroke out in the cotton-spinning mill at Finnieston, be-
longing to the Finnieston Spinning Company. The fire origi-
nated in an apartment on the lower fiat, called the picking-
room, and we regret to learn that about 100 poor people have
been thrown out of employment, at a time when trade is unu-
sually depressed, and there is little hope of their getting in
elsewhere. The building and machinery are only about five or
six years old, the mill on the same site being burned about seven
years ago, The works are insured in three different offices for
10,0001.—Glasgow Herald.
