SPORTING INTELLIGENCE

LIVERPOOL JULY MEETING.
Stewards—Lord G. BENTINCK, Sir R. W. BULKELEY,
Bart., and Lord STANLEY.
The Liverpool July Meeting is now established as a great
event in sporting annals. The eclat with which the whoic
affair generally goes off, and the improvements which are
year by year introduced, render lit well worthy the public
patronage, and the attention of all sporting men. The races
of the present year have far exceeded others in interest,
amount of stakes, and goodness of sport. The extreme
fineness of Wednesday induced many to make a holiday, and
we have seldom seen the attendance on a first day better.
The arrangements of the course, the running, and the punctu-
ality adhered to, in the times of starting, did the secretary
Mr. Lynn, and Mr. Etty the clerk, great credit. The plan
of telegraphing the horses to start, by me -
