Sporting Intelligence.

There was some fine sport the Union Course YES
terday afternoon, be fully testified by the re-
spectacle concourse Of persons who witnessed it.
The first purse offered for trotting horses mile
heats, best three In five to go in wagons-drivcr and
wagon to weigh three hundred pounds The animals
entered were Jack Cade, Jim Berry Lady Ellen and
Philadelphia Sal-the three latter Of whom, it will be
recoected, had the remarkable contest Of heats
over the same ground last Monday week The trio
exerted themselves this OCCASION but unable to
keep time with the music Of Jack Cade who rottcd off
with the money in three straight heats.
The second match was between those fine PAGERS Viii
lage Boy and Roanoke, and horse under the cog
men OF Gen Taylor-me heats, best three in FIVE under
the saddle. Roanoke won the first mile in 225 and the
second in 227 Gen Taylor got the third mile in 226
but Roanoke was again successful in the fourth mile in
226a-thus winning the purse
With the exception Of that made by James X. Polk,
this is equal to the best time upon record when it
taken into consideration that Gen Taylor what may
be termed green horse his time of 90 yesterday
shows that he may eventually become rpo enough to
do brown some more experienced animals. Indeed he
may be competent to get his mile in aga, and
thus become professor Of Polk aism and be enabled
to enter the lists for the championship with the
nimble Captain himself
II is understood that these nags will again
gether in short time, for purse which will be espe
caly offered for their benefit well for the
mediation Of any others who may wish to "come n'-al-
ways excepting Captain Polk, who is entirely good
lookin to get in yet awhile
