SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

SPORTING EXTRA.

NAVAL Bitrrowancnir, PORTSMOUTH.

Some unexpected changes have taken place in the odds, of the
ensuing Cape Finisterre race, some of the outside horses having
advanced several points, and Columbine, who stood first favourite
last week, having receded, in consequence of the doubts enter.
tained by some first-rate judges, as to her ability to carry the
stipulated weight over so deep a Course as that of Cape Fin!.
stereo is likely to prove; not so the dun horse Samlaire, the
bottom which he is known to possess, and which begins to deve.
lope itself more and more every day, having been hitherto' In-
sufficiently appreciated by the sporting men, some of whom,
finding they are likely to be infer it, are now trying to hedge
off, and the odds against him have consequently been reduced
from 65 to 15 to 1, and Columbine has gone back to eighteen to one.
This'has chiefly arisen from her deficiency in carcase; for although
her symmetry has been much admired, still the defect alluded to
weighs deeply with the sporting world, and will be found to weEgts
deeply against her, if we are not mistaken ; even betting to a large
amount has been offered on her against Satellite, on condition atlas
latter giving her a few pounds weight; but Satellite's owner is too
old and too knowing a sportsman to throw away any advantage;
meantime Satellite has advanced a few pounds, as has Chanter,
and Wolfe has rather gone back. Tyne has been brought forward a
little. Large offers are made that Acorn does sot come is the post.
Opinions vary much, and 100 to 10 has been twice taken against
the winner and second being named. Great impatience is mani-
fested for the time when the sweats and private gallops are to begin,
as many intend to regulate their bets accordingly. The appoint-
ment of the Judge of the Course has produced universal Badena
tion, bis judgment being so universally acknowledged, and not less
an his integrity and impartiality. As so much of his attention must
naturally be given to the horses, when started, it is considered an
act of discretion that he has chosen for his own riding a horse not
likely to bolt out of the course, or to run away with hint.
PEDESTRIAN ISM.

Comm-mom or Ma. Bra's MATCII.—This Gent'eman, for a
bet of one hundred sovereigns, engaged to go on foot, from St.
Paul's Church Yard, to the thirty-eight mile stone, near Read-
ing, and return in twenty hours. He started at twelve on
Sunday morning, and went to Slough, from the place of starting
(twenty-two miles) in three hours and teq minutes, and he did the
other six miles, to Maidenhead, in another hour. He performed
half the distance in eight hours, and returned back to Twyford,
where be halted nearly two hours, leaving himself thirty-sit miles
to do in something more than nine hours. He started fresh and •
well after eating a boiled fowl, and kept steady at something under
five miles an hour, when be reached Brentford, took tea, and com-
pleted the other nine miles with twenty minutes to spare.
FOX HUNT.

Sir Thoimis Mostyn's hounds had, on Tuesday last, the hardest
run that has been witnessed for many years; they found between
Waddesdon and Eythrope, and, after a very circuitous chase, killed
the fox near Wing.—Bucks Chronicle.
Yesterday week,twoGentlemen of Linton, Maidstone, went with
beagles to kill a bare as a present to a friend. They threw off is
the parish of Boughton, and after some time succeeded in findings
bare. Poor puss was closely pursued through Boughton and
_Maidstone into Linton parish, and ran into and was caught in s
house, which proved to be next to that of the Gentleman for whom
the was intended.
