SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

MANCHESTER AUGUST MEETING.

The experiment of a two-days' meeting, in the month of
August, has been tried on the Blanchester race course this
year; but we imagine the success has not been such as to in-
duce a repetition of the experiment. The attendance on both
days was extremely small, though the sport was tolerably
good. The following is a return of the running :

In passing the road, Orcus ran against the rails on the in-
side of Op! course, and was thrown down with great violence,
and roiling over, came in the way of Creusa, who was close
behind, and was also thrown down, pitching his rider under
the rails, but he was not much hurt. Poor Whitby, the rider
of Orcus, was taken up perfectly insensible, and it was at
first feared that he was killed; but in a short time he came
to himself, and was carried to the Turf Tavern, where he
now lies in a doubtful state, as apprehensions are entertained
that he has received an injury of the spine. The horse was
terribly lacerated by coming in contact with the rails.
In consequence of this accident, there was no race for the
50 sovereigns plate.
