SPORTING.-(RECEIVED THIS DAY.)

YORK SPRING MEETING.

TUESDAY, MAY 26.—The interest excited in the Cup
Race to-day was little inferior to that existing on the St.
Leger yesterday, the greatest anxiety being afloat as to how
the renowned Velocipede would acquit himself. It will be
recollected that for last year's Sr. Leger he was an um-
manse favourite, and that having been a perfect flyer at
York, be was beat in a canter at Doncaster, insomuch that
it was threatened to put him by for stock; it being dis-
covered, however, that he was not up to the mark in the
St. Leger, the matter was reconsidered, and he was en-
tered for some Stakes this year, and, with what judgment,
will he seen below. It certainly was Isold work to try
him against such approved good horses as were entered in
the same race, and the known tenderness of his legs made
the experiment of starting him a ticklish one.
The attendance was respectable, without being by any
means crowded. There were present the Marquises of
Cleveland and Sligo; Lords Kelburne, Scarborough, Long-
ford ; Sirs Bellingham Graham, W. Milner, Harry Good-
riche ; Honourables E. Petre. W. Duncombe ; Messrs.
Cradock, Crawford, Staines, King, Yarburgh, Rickerby,
Itamsden, Healey, Graves, Ridsdale, Baker, Nelson, Gas-
. eoyne, Uppleby, Dickson, Best, Jolliffe, Swann, Peters,
Armitage, Powlett, Watt, 'Wilson, Kent, Mills, Havenbill,
Thead, Ford, Crompton, Thompson, Bower, Cayley,
Strickland, Markham, Herbert, Thornton, Parker, Wil-
kinson, Atkinson, Crompton, Agar, Bigland, Wormald, &e.

Mr. Earnshaw's Elastic, by Waverley
Lord Scarborough's ch. f. by Pilgarlic
Mr. Ridsdale's Donation, by Borodino 5
This being the first appearance of Voltaire for this season, the
betting was interesting, and his running looked for with consider-
able anxiety. It was much regretted, however, that Sir Hercules
was not suffered to start, as the clew to the great St. Leger would
have been more complete. The odds, before starting, were :3 to 1 on
Voltaire, who jumped off in front, kept the lead, and won in a
canter, rode by J. Day ; Penhill by Edwards, Elastic by Temple-
man, Pilgarlic by Nelson, and Donation by Scott.
The Gold Cup, value 10a guineas. Two miles.

Mr. Yarburgh's Laurel, 5 yrs
Lord Cleveland's Nonplus, 5 yrs 3
Lord Kelburnc's 'A etE2Oll, aged
sto 4 agst Laurel, and 11 to 8 agst Velocipede. Laurel led to
the stand, where the othericame up, and a fine race ensued be-
tween all; but Velocipede, rode by Nelson, won by half a length.
Nicholson rode Laurel, Chifney, Nonplus, and Edwards, Actaeon.
Sweepstakes of 30 sovs.• each, for two-year-olds. T.Y. C.
Duke of Leeds's ch. f. by Blacklock

Eight others started, but were not placed. 95 to 10 agst Splen-
dour, 3 to 1 agst Emmeline, 6 to 1 agst the winner, S to 1 agst
Emilie. After the usual pranks and false starts arising from a
large field of youngsters, they went off nearly abreast, offering a
most imposing spectacle. The Duke of Leeds's and Lord Kel-
burne's soon got in front, and led to the Gravel-pits, where the
latter gave way to Mr. Western's and Lord Scarborough's ; the
Duke's filly suffered herself to be headed for a moment, but
speedily resumed her lead, and won rather cleverly by half a length
—rode by R. Johnson ; Lord Scarborough's by Nelson, and Mr.
Western's by Garbut. This race will have considerable influence
on next year's St. Leger. .

Even on Sarah, who made the running all the way—the race
being between her and Juliana, who was beat by a length. The
others could not live the pace. The winner rode by Conolly,
Juliana by Scott, Dora by Lye, Sykes's by Johnson, Powlett's by
Edwards, St. Paul's by Day, and the other by Nelson.
