SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING, 1830.
Race Course, Wednesday Afternoon, Five o'Clock.
The betting at the Kingston House Rooms last night continued
till a late hour, and opened this morning in the Club-roam-yard to-
lerably brisk. The Mummer is in better favour than before, Bto
I having been taken two or three times ; this would imply that fa.
vourable accounts have been received from Epsom. Lord Exeter's
two were also in increased demand, Mahmoud making an advance
which would seem to confirm the assertion of his superiority over
Augustus. The odds before coming on the heath this afternoon
were as follow :

3 to 1 apt Mr. Chifney's Priam (Cressida) (taken)
25 to 1 Lord G. Cavendish's Mouse colt (taken)
8 to 1 Mr. Petre's Bruntwicker
8 to 1 Sir M. Wood's The Mummer
12 to 1 Mr. Ridsdale's Little Red Rover
11 to 1 Lord Exeter's Augustus
15 to 1 Sir M. Wood's Cetus •
10 to 1 Lord Exeter's hiahmoud
25 to 1 Lord Cleveland's Wat Tyler
25 to 1 Lord Sligo's Brine
50 to 1 Sir. Ramsbottom's ZuchareM
30 to 1— Lord Sefton's Captain Arthur (taken)
400 to 100 on Mouse agst ZuchareM (taken)

the one between Lord Sefton's Bobadilla, Bst. 71b. and Lord Exe-
ter's Varna, Bat. D. M. and the other between Lord Sefton's Mor.
ris Dancer, list. 91b. and the Duke of Portland's Ambiguity colt,
Bst. A. F.

The D. of Richmond's Corea, D. of Rutland's Lacerta filly, and
Mr. liouldworth's f. by Fah°, hays paid for the 1000 gs. Stakes, (to-
morrow.)--The D. of Orafton's two (Orbit and Rupert) and the D.
of Portland's Agatha filly, have paid far the Newmarket Stakes.
The most interesting of this day's races were the under-men-
tioned ; the others possess little or no interest, and will not be over
till late.
