SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
NEWMARKET SECOND SPRING MEETING.
N WatA MITT, SUNHAT NIGHT.
The races this week, which conclude the Spring Meetings here,
are not of that value and importance which are found in those de-
cided
in the Craven and First Spring weeks, nor is it likely that
the att•ndancr will he either so numerous or fashionable; good
running, however, we confidently anticipate. The races will be
hunted to tour days, in (nth r that sufficient time may be afforded
to the vr.rors to get to the Spring Meeting at York, and brings out
most of the principal favourites for the Great St. Leger. Many
lodgings are already taken here, and some Noblemen and Gentle-
notewo or egular viiitors, hare already arrived, but there will
be any greet show of company until to morrow.
IMTTING.

Nu business has been done today, but some changes in the
betting up to last night, and the near approach of the Epsom Meet-
kg, call for a quotation ut the odds. During the last week the first
three favourites for the St. Leger have been in great demand, and
woof them have risen some points, Velocipede having the call at 7
tot. The Colonel and Sorcery are at evens, so are Lambtonian
and Zinganee, the three next being also abreast. The field is rather
small, but it is not improbable that it may be extended before the
day, as it is pretty generally expected that about 16 or 17 will start ;
for the Oaks not no many. We give the latest odds—

Mr. ROBSON—From the integrity, seal, and ability displayed by

teeny years, several Noblemen and Gentlemen have agreed to pre.
sent him with a piece of plate value of flOO or upwards. "in testi.

flexible honesty anti.superior talent, is given to Alf. Robson on Ms

able to his Patrons.

PIGEON SHOOTING. '
Some excellent Pigeon Shooting took place on lisenrday, at the
Red tisane Tavan, Battersea. Captain Ross arrived in town on
tront Newmarket, and on Saturday practised, and killed
*lmo bird. out of twelve, at the great distance of thirty yaras from
the trap, a frat which has never been surpassed. Mr. Shoebridge
sad other Gentlemen had a few birds afterwards, and killed seven
07 of eight on an average. Some thousands depend upon the issue
of tke grand match between Mr. Oshaldeaton and Captain Ross.-
13pvads of thirty dozen pigeons have already arrived.

Pitit'd and ready. Barnes, who was the hirourite, had fought

The succeeding rounds were long and tediously fought. Borneo
