SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

RGHAM RACKS, Auourr eg.
The number of spectator OD the Course to-day was more than
usually numerous, owing no doubt as much to the anticipated at-
tendance of Royalty, as to the superior quality of the sport generally
appointed for the second day.
His Royal Highness the Lord High Admiral, accompanied by
the Duchess and her Royal Highness the Princess Sophia, arrived
oo the Course at half-past pee, in a barouche and four, the Royal
Suite following in a snood carriage and four. Their Royal High.
OnlleS were received at the Grand Stand by—
Her Grace the Duchess of Richmond, the Ladies Paget, Chi.
cheater, C. Wood, Mountcharles, and several others of distinction.
Abes a quarter of an hoer after her Majesty the Qsmen of Wur-
temberg arrived in an open chaise drawn by four horses, accom-
panied by her Royal Highness the Princess Aggusta, the Royal at-
tendants following in two other carriages and four, and the whole
escorted by several of his Majesty's outriders. Her Majesty's
carriage was placed within the ropes close to the Grand Stand, and
being low built was easily accessible to these who were anxious to
approach her Majesty. The Royal Party staid throughout the
Races, with which they expressed themselves highly gratified, and
on leaving the Course were repeatedly cheered by the spectators.
Besides their Royal Highnesses there were present—
The Duke of Dorset, the Duke and Duchess of Richmond,Lords
Verulam, Miltown, hisenteharies Lennox, Hon. C. Wyndham,
Sir J. Gibbons, the Ladies Berkeley, and nearly all those who were
present is the previous day.
The day's spot' proved excellent, and was as follows—.
The Surrey and Middlesex Stake* of £3 says. each. Two miles and
a distance. .

Lord Mouutcharles's Royal Oak, 4 yrs, 7st. 111 b.
Lord Egrensont's b. c. Grampus, S yrs. est. 111 b.
Mr. Forth's Martha, 3 yrs, 7st. lib.

• Duke of Richmond's Link Boy, 4 yrs. Sst. lib. 4
Fifteen paid—S and 6to 4 agst Grampus, sto 2 apt Martha, 4
to 1 agst Link Boy, and 4 to 1 apt the winner.
This was, in every sense of the word, as good sporting and oet-
and-out race as we hpve seen this year. Grampus went off with a
rattle, Link Boy at his haunches, and the other two close upon
him. In this position they pelted away for about half a mile,when
Link Boy got up and headed Grampus to the last turn ; Royal
Oak then came up. challenged, and got in front, and immediately
after Grampus, followed by Martha, again headed Link Boy; till
within a few strides of finishing, it was neck and neck ; but at last
Royal Oak got the lead, won by a length in a surprising manner.
The Magna Charta Stakes of 50 soya. each, for three yr olds, colts,
Sat. Sib. and fillies, sst. 31b. The whiner of the Oaks, Tst. extra.
The new Mile.
Duke of Richmond's Culture :

.. 11 Mr. Itamsbottottes Prism . 2
.
Four paid.-6 to lon Gulnare, notwithstanding she carried 7st.
extra, as winner of the Oaks. Prism led at strong running for
I three-fourths of the new mile, when the filly came up; and then
either got bead and head, alternately in front, till within the dis-
tance when it really seemed as if Gulnare was beat, but the fact
was, ;hat being a lazy jade, she required pushing; she then let loose,
and won easy by two gooilengths.
Sweepstakes of 13 my. each, for horses regularly hunted with the
King's, or the Berkeley Hounds, list. I lib. each. Maiden horses
allowed 41b. 64f-bred, illb. and mares and geldings, Slb. winners

M. T. Jones's beuce Ace

Three paid—Being a Gentleman's race there was very little
betting, and none worth notice. Nimrod, rode by the veteran
Gentleman Jockey, Mr. Delete Radcliffe, took the lead, and did
just as he pleased with the race ; about a quarter of a mile from
home be took leave of the second horse, and came in at his leisure
some 40 or 50 lengths before the others.

after was dispossessed of her lead by Charnwood ; at the turn Busk
again got up, std between these two rested the remainder of the
race which was ultimately won by the filly by a very goad length.
Ind Heat..-6 to 4on Busk. The running at starting was as
before, and continued so till about a mile from home, when the
struggle was between the two fillies; Busk, however, again won
i very cleverly by two lengths.

WRESTLING MATCH.

The single play was renewed on Tuesday at the Eagle Tavern,
City-road, on which occasion there was a numerous attendance of
spectators. At three o'clock Dimond threw in his hat, and the
thallenge was immediately accepted by England. The former is
by far the best player, and threw Ms opponent easily.
Jennings and Wilmot—This bout was equally uninteresting, and
the latter was thrown.

Williams and Finney—This match excited considerable interest.
Williams is one of the light weights, but possesses considerable
science, while his opponent, a tall raw-boned Irishman, though
much stronger, knows but little of the art : his superior strength,
however, enabled him to hold out until time was called.

Thomas and Williams—This bout was a very short one, and
ended In favour of Williams.

Williams and Tucker—A well contested mateb. The superior
science of Williams was evident throughout. Ills opponent, how—
ever, did his best to win, but it would not do, and time was called
before either gave a back fall.
Tucker and Paul—Tucker this time had a much easier customer
to contend with, and threw his man cleverly.
Howard and Jennings—The latter calls himself the Irish Pet,
and is well known in the P.C. However well he may understand
boxing, it was clear he knew nothing of wrestling. On receiving
a few kicks on the shin, be exclaimed, " I don't understand this,
and did all he could to avoid further punishment. His opponent
took advantage of his shyness, and peppered his shins in fine style,
but time was called before he could throw him. Jennings was
then told that he must contend with another; but this he at first
declined, saying he had enough of it, but Tucker threw in his bat,
and Jennings was persuaded to try hi. luck once more. His over
anxiety to take care of I is shins was soon taken advantage of, and
Tucker laid him on his back.

Davis and Richards held out. Davis and Austin, ditto.

J. Cann and Austin—This was the best contested match through-
out the day. Cann is a relation to the celebrated wrestler, and
possesses considerable skill. Austin is a very powerful nun, but
in spite of his superior strength, was compelled to yield to his
more scientific opponent.
Saunders, the Life Guardsman, was present, but declined play-
ing, in coosequeree of indisposition.— The Gardens were very
numerously attended.
The single play was renewed yesterday at the above Tavern, and
afforded excellent sport. At the conclusion, the follnwing men
were declared double players, viz. Pardue, Larkins, Thorne, Moss.
Chapple, and Jackson, making in all twenty-four double players.—
The double play commenced at three o'c;u:k, when several ex-
cellent and well-contested bouts were played ; and the fallowing
were announced as triple players, and thus matched:
Howard and Dimond, I Pyle and Finney,
Larkins and Thorne, Cupp and Chapple,
ltuwe and T.,zer, Pardue and Trevick.
It being nearly d.rk, there was only time to decide the two first
matches, which were given in layout of Howard and Larkins.
