SPORTING IN'VELLIGENCE. -
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
The York Meeting fully repaid those who toots
the trouble to visit it. .The attendance was much larger
than usual, and the fields of horses were more numerous
and of a better calibre thaa has been seen of late years.
The result of the Great Yorkshire Stakes clearly showa
that the Oaks was a more correct run race than the
Derby—Annandale, the second in the latter race, being
nowhere, a hile Miss Sarah, the third in the former
race, beat the Goodwood mare by four lengths, and was,
therefor., justly raised to toe distinguished rank of first
favourite fur the St. Leger. As I like to take credit to
,nyself when suecessful in iny predictions, I am not the
less ashamed to own that in this race I was most corn-
plewly out in my calculations, Annandale and Jingleilot
tht: two last in the race. But as I stated, my
reason for fancying them was on account of their public
unning, and from " always adopting that alone as the
f ululation of opinion, which has been so frequently
correct during the Loofahs, that I trust I shall not
condemned by ,my readers. In the Great Ebor

The Prince of Wales' Stakes. as I fancied, brought rl
capital field to the post, and the race was won by that
fortunate sportsman, Mr. Ramsay, with his colt Mal-
combe, in such a manner as to raise still higher the hopes
of the Midlothian party for the great northern race.
The Liverpool Luminary was completely extinguished
to-day, and her numerous friends burnt their fingers
smartly by touching her. The other races call for no
particular observation. Sweetmeat's match with IV'
heritress was a nearer thing than many imaginto it
would be, and it required all Nat's fine riding to wititk
a head.

Tho entries for the Egham Meeting were of so in-
ferior a calibre, and the horses engaged in the different
stakes having met so often, that any person taking the
sliehtest interest iv, raeino
wmust hive been quite u, well I
aware of their qualities as myself, I thought I would not
take up the space in your paper, or the patience of your
readers, by recapitulating them.
The Warwick Meeting commences on Tuesday next
with a rather thin list; still, however, from the aura**
tions that the place holds out, and from the fact of there
generally being some important alteration in the St.
Leger betting, the betting men are sure to visit it in
great force.

The meeting commences, ns most meetings generally
do, with a trial stakes, for whiciz the entries close to-
morrow.
We then have the Guy Produoie Stekes, to which
there are eight subseribers. Of the :nit-oats engaged in
the race, three are from t'ee &oek bridge/ stable, and the
property of that lucky twe year-old gentleman, Mr
Wreford ; and ae bee elite) vvon this stake, I think
it most likely that one of Eis lot will be foleod superior
to the field. Tice only eppeneet he nos to fear' ieGvva-
Roe, a colt who has ree,.eitly run most respect- bly.
i.h.rissitna I sboald have ituaginiel could have heel 'an
excellent chenee, bw.for her d -fat last week. To Wed-
Oitig Dey and (Gwaltoe I think I must assign this raele,
with a preference for the former.
Next comes the Lea:elegem &eke-, which excites less
;11tetiot than usual in the eeerthig world, probably on
...ccouot of the tiz Leese- eettifee extending over such g
large field of tirses. Few naadizaps have furnished
tatter races than this has done. Last year Lord Exeter
won it with Algernon, beating Advice,- another three-
year-old, and a good field, by a head. In 1843 Mr,
Perth won it with that game three-year-Ad
.eating Gret•nfificti and I,lllly Banks. I doubt, how,ver,

favoured by the hentheapper with 9st., and altheugn he
ride been running about the country se much lately, ete
I think he will be found better than many that are left
in. His forte is exactly two miles, and no further.
Lord Warwick's Yardley, Bst. 61b., comes next under
my eye. He is a useful sort of horse, but with Bst. 61b.
I imagine will find the course too far for him by a quar-
ter of a mile. •
For the Wolverhampton Stakes, with 7st. Silt.. Glossy
at the same weight beat him a length. Of Mr. Meik-
lam's powerful lot, two only have been left in,. vise
Trueboy and Freeman. Of these the former is a useful
sort of horse, and can, when he likes, run extremely
well ; but his temper lately seems to have entirely
spoilt him, and he wont run a yard. The latter
horse's pretensions chiefly rest upon winning a plate
at Chester, beating, after four heats, Lord Stanley's
Psalmsinger, winner of tl-e Stewards' Cup at Goodwood,
and of the two, I must say, I prefer Freeman infinitely.
Roderick, the second for the Goodwood Stakes, with
7st. 91b., must be a very different animal from the Ro-
derick, with 6st. 111 b., that I recommended to public
attention for that great race. With the present weight
upon him, I think his chance a most slender one.
Lightning, 7st. 71b. seems to run worse and worse on
every occasion he comes out. I think he has been too
much hacked about to be successful here.
I now come to my old favourite Glossy, who, were she
to run on the terms imposed upon her by the handicap-
per originally, would, I have not the least doubt, turn
out the winner. But, as she has to carry 10Ib. extra for
winning at Paisley and elsewhere, and having so favour-
ably run •at Doncaster for the Great Yorkshire Handi-
cap, I doubt if she will start ; if she does, hoWever, I
think, even with the extra weight, there will be nothieg
found to beat her, unless it is Pythia. Mr. Peel's
Jack Sheppard, with 7st., is cursed, like Truehoy, with
a temper that makes .it datigerous for anybody to trust
him with a sixpence ; added to which, he is a horse of a
very mediocre character. Mr. Clifton's Nottiegham
(the Mundig co!t, purchased at the stiff price of 1,000
guineas) is very faveintOdy at 6 to 12, and ought to take
a good dial of teetiek I extact that he will be
found very hued.). at the finish. Rochester belongs
to a gentleman who has won many a race on this
ceurse, but I do not imaeine the Leetninsrer Stakes for
1845 he ~rill be able to count among them. His previous
doings may to eesily imagined, when, although au
