SPORTING INT EL4 GE.NCE.

The only important affair on the turf at present attracting Lb
attentiou of our Lancashire arid Cheshire sportsmen is the Holy-
well Hunt Meeting, which 'opens on Tuesday next, and bids fair
to furnish ample sport to those who intend -to tiouour this cele-
brated Cambrian course by a visit. The most interesting and
sporting contest, it is anticipated, will be the race ter the Mostvu
Stakes—the Mostyn mile. Cirincellor andPerseyerance are the
favourites, and continue neck and neck fur' precedence .in the
odds; they, of course, are not entered, as no entry takes place
before Monday next;- but, as they are both theite, "Ma not en-
tered for any other race, no doubt is entertained hut-they urn
gone for the Mostyn Mile Stakes. SinCe our last another Can-
didate has entered the field for the saMe stake, tiz., Diana, who
has been backed at Sto 1. Birdcatcher and Jack Failcett re-
main iu the same situation as last quoted. The stapes are of
ten sovereigns each, and the follkiwing thirty-two noblemen and

menced on Wednesday, and conclude this day, there are some
excellent horses entered for the various races, amongst them we
may enumerate Independence, Como], Mussulman, Wolver-
