SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

EPSOM RACES

The annual sporting festival on Epsom Downs commenced
on 1 uesday last, under the most auspicious influences, bright
skies and pleasant breezes compensating in some degree for
the dreary weather which attended the early meetings of the
season. There was not more than the average attendance, the
majority being composed of the professionals. The racing
commenced with the Craven Stakes, and Grapeshot's victory
increased the hopes of Honeywood's supporters for the Derby.
The other races were well contested, and afforded a fair day's
amusement to the assembled spectators.
