SPORTING LVTELLIGEXCE,

The Newmarket October Meeting,; which coramencesi cti Man,
day, although it attracted a large assemblage of fashionabiesi
amongst whom was his Grace the Duke of Rutland, his Grace the
Duke of Grafton, Earl Stradbroke, and the Earl of C besterfield,
was not remarkable for the excellence of the sport. The first day
the Trial Stakes di4 not fill, the only horse entered beii:g
Ves-
per. The Grand Duke Michael Stakes, upon which there was
considerable betting, was the only contest for the day: Clearwell
was the decided favourite; and, in the Lancashire sporting eir.
des, the odds were bet on him. He was, however, much to the
surprise of the knowing ones, easily beaten by five, viz.,
Nonsense, (the winner,) ridden by Pavis, Jason, the colt by
Lottery, Divan, and Brother to Beiram, who were placed as
named. Neither the favourite, Brother to Amphius, nor the
colt by Sultan were placed; Clearwell coming sixth. The bet-
tino- was 2 to 1 agst Clearwell at starting, 6 to 1 agst Jason, 6
to I agst Divan, and 7 to 1 agst the winner, who AVM easy by
two lengths - the value of the stakes was Z2OO. The Hopeful
Stakes, of 46 sovs. each, h.ft., were won by Mr, Nevill's Arnado,
(Connolly,) beating b f by Merlin, ch f by Emilius, Sister to
Cactus, ch c by Middleton, and ch fby Merlin ; won by a length.
The £5O Plate was taken by Col. Peel's Ernest, (Pavis,) beating
colt by Bizarre, Datura, and Lucetta ; won by two lengths,
Coming nearer home we must now allude to the spirited meet-
in,g at Wrexham, which opened on Tuesday, and concluded on
Wednesday last. The 'lwo Year Olds were taken by that
pretty filly Vittoria, decidedly the best of her age extant, judg-
ing from her performances and the number of stakes she has
won this season. She was only opposed to Lord Westminster's
b c by Camel, b fby Lottery having paid ; the betting upon her
was 6to 4. The Gold Cup, value 100 sovs., was won by "the
crackcrackbrown mare" Her Highness, who beat Russell and Pick-
pocket; ,the latter was beaten easily; his day appears to be going
by; the c'nntestfor the Chester Cup having almost done his busi-
ness; the br:Atin_g was 2 to 1 agst the winner, 3 to 1 agst Russell,
and 4to 1 agsi. l'ickpocket. Sir Watkin Wm. Wynne's Plate,
value £5O, was won in two heats by Lady Moore Carew, beating
Lady Bee and four ufliers; the winner was the favourite. The
Wednesday's sport comioeuced with the contest for the W_yrri-
stay Stakes, of 25 sovs. each, which were won by the Traveller,
beating Belmont, and Hope, the latter was the favourite at 2 to
1. The Sweep of 25 sovs. each, was won by Harriet, the Han-
dicap by Russell, and the Town Plate by Batcatcher.
