action, and keeping up the most destructive pace to within the distance, when he evidently began to faulter, and Camarine went in two lengths first. What a contrast! Oh, how Sir Mark brightened up! and looked as if he really believed for the mo ment, that men were honest, just, and true!

The Windsor Forest Stakes of 50 sovs. each, for three-year-old fillies, the Old Mile, 8st. 4lb., and 5lb. more for winning the Oaks, three subs., and two at the post. Lord Exeter's Galata (Connolly) won it without a pause at least four lengths, quite run ning away, and carrying the 5lb. extra from Lord Lowther's Whimsey with Wheatley's best riding.

Mr. Monro's Ambrosia, three years old, 8st. 4lb. (G. Edwards), beat Mr. Yeasley's Sheldrake, five years old, 9st. 11lb.-a -a very pretty race. Sweepstakes of 100 sovs. each, two subs., 8st. 7lb. each, the Old MileLord Burlington's Bizarre colt, his dam Mouse, rode by Boyce, and Lord Lowther's Sceptre, rode by Wheat ley. This was a most delightful pace of real true running to the distance, when the Bizarre colt, by lasting a little the longest, was declared the winner by two lengths.

FOURTH DAY-FRIDAY.

A Match between Mr. Gardnor's Ida (Pavis) and Mr. Martyn's Mistletoe (Mann), for 50 sovs., the Old Mile. Had Mistletoe given something less than the 10lb., and been in as much request at Midsummer as at Christmas, it must have won, being beat by a head only.

The Wokingham Stakes, of five sovs. each, for three-year-olds and upwards (Handicap), 15 subs, the last three-quarters of the New Mile, Lord Stradbroke's Hermit (Pavis) first, 7st. 2lb.; Carthago (Robinson), 10st. 6lb., second; and Mr. Pearce's Misery third and last.

His Majesty's Plate of 100gs., for hunters-five-year-olds, 11st. 7lb.; six, 11st. 12lb; and aged, 12st.; about two miles and a distance.-Count Matuzevic's ch. h. Lawn Sleeves (John Day), a length, won easy. Lord Lichfield's Dunton made play, rode by Connolly.

Mr. Martyn's Minetta (S. Mann) beat Mr. Gardnor's Leander (Pavis) a Match for 100 sovs., the Old Mile, 8st. 7lb. each, a length, and quite

easy.

A Plate of 501. for all ages, beginning at three years old, 7st. 7lb. and upwards-the winner to be sold, if claimed, for 250gs. Six or seven came to the Old Mile post, and made a smart race, considering the materials, which Lord Tavistock's Gondolier won by a length, finely rode by Robinson; the Duke of Richmond's Cassador (Pavis) second. The winner was claimed by the Duke, but many thought with me that it was a friendly claim for the Noble Lord, as Gondolier is very cheap at a larger

sum.

This finished as fine a week's sport, I am fully persuaded, as the oldest sportsman ever saw; all the regulations excellent, and strictly enforced, under the amiable and gentle management of the Earl of Lichfield. June 23, 1832.

RACES FOR JULY.

Liverpool and Ipswich 3, Bath 4, Newmarket 9, Preston 10, Guildford and Wells 11, Kendal, Chelmsford, and Cheltenham 17, Stamford 18, Wenlock 20, Taunton 23, Derby 24, Newcastle (Staff.) 24, Bridgnorth and Salisbury 25, Huntingdon and Knutsford 31.

Lord Cleveland has purchased Trustee of Mr. Ridsdale for 2000gs.

Mr. Gully has purchased Lady Fly, who ran second for the Oaks, for 1000gs.

Mr. Lockwood, of York, has been appointed Clerk of the Course to Leeds.

During the month the Horse Trade has been uncommonly brisk, notwithstanding the depression of trade generally, arising no doubt from the most influential men having other important avocations; and at Tattersall's stalls could scarcely be procured even for Thursday's sales. The prices realised were equally satisfactory to

both buyer and seller, not only at the Corner, but in every part of town.

We may add, that the remainder of the Duke of Gordon's long dogs were brought to the hammer; and as a proof of the increased estimation in which this kind of sporting is now held, they fetched long prices.

AQUATICS.

On the opening of the new pier at Herne Bay on the 4th of June, a Silver Cup and Cover was given to be sailed for by boats under 20 tons, and six entered to sail, as under :

Yachts. Alert..

Alert....

Flirt.

Helene......

Star Sydney

Tons. .16.

Owners. ..A. Lyon. ..13............J. Nicholls. .15........ ..J. B. West.

.16............T. S. Torr.

.14............W. Nicholls. ....15............A. Nicholls.

The latter came in first, but there was no doubt that Mr. Lyon's Alert would have been the successful competitor, had it not been for Nicholls's Alert sailing into the after-part of Mr. Lyon's boat, and the Helene assisted in holding her till the Sydney passed. Mr. Lyon immediately put in a protest against the Sydney having the Cup, urging, that, as his boat was first when the others maliciously fouled him, he was entitled by the fair rules of sailing to the prize. He challenged the parties to re-sail for the Cup, or for 501., which they declined. The umpire retains the Cup till the Committee decide upon the question.

ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB.

The first important Match of the season was the Royal Thames Yacht Club Silver Cup and Cover, which was sailed for on Saturday the 23d by the following boats :

The

the Members and their friends to Greenwich, and at ten o'clock the vessel left the Custom House with above three hundred on board. beauty of the day added much to the enjoyment of the scene, and an immense flotilla of Gentlemen's yachts and small craft rendezvoused off the Hospital. The prize to be contested for, valued at 50l., was displayed to the company on board the steamer, and was much admired for its taste and execution. On arriving at Greenwich the boats were all moored in front of the Hospital, ready for the signal, and at seven minutes to twelve the Commodore fired "the gun," and in a few seconds the anchors were weighed, the sails set, and the yachts proceeded down the River, the wind blowing fresh from S. W. by W.-to go round a boat off Gravesend, and back. The Lady Louisa took the lead, but was almost immediately passed by Figaro; followed by Matchless, Victorine, Alert, and Sabrina, and in this way they passed Blackwall Point. Many changes took place in the relative position of the boats previously to their arrival at Gravesend, and the contest was conducted with great spirit. The Sabrina rounded the flag-boat at Gravesend first, having completed the distance in two hours and seven minutes, closely followed by Victorine, Lady Louisa, Matchless, Alert, and Figaro, only six minutes and a half having elapsed before the arrival of the first and last boat. The beatingup was extremely interesting, and the nautical skill of the competitors to obtain a superiority was put to a severe test. The Lady Louisa, aided by good manoeuvring, after a severe struggle, arrived first at Greenwich, at one minute past 6 P. M., the Victorine close at her stern, followed by Sabrina, Alert, Matchless, and Figaro last. Lord Wharncliffe was on board the Alert; and Lord Cholmondeley, in the Brilliant, accompanied the match. Colonel De Roos, the Hon. Colonel Stanhope, and other amateurs, were also present. It was an admirable match throughout, and

gave universal satisfaction to, perhaps, as great a concourse of spectators as ever assembled on a similar occasion. Indeed few matches have excited greater interest, or afforded more gratification, whether considered as a trip of pleasure, or as being interested for those concerned in the contest. It was decidedly as beautiful a display of the art of sailing as ever was witnessed; and it is said more money was betted on this match than all the contests of last season put together.It was somewhat curious that the coming-in of the winning boat was simultaneous with the Duke of Sussex, the Lord Chancellor, Earl Grey, Lords Melbourne, Althorp, and Holland, &c. reaching the Ship tavern to attend the anniversary dinner in memory of Charles James Fox. It is needless to add the assembled multitude enthusiastically cheered these Distinguished Individuals on alighting from their carriages.

An Above-bridge match, for a Twenty-five Guinea Cup, for boats not exceeding ten tons, is to be sailed for on the 1st of August. Lord Cholmondeley has entered the Brilliant, Colonel De Roos the Mab, Mr. Bucknall the Lady Emma, and Mr. Holl the Rowena.

We understand the Club have it also in contemplation to have a Belowbridge Fifty Guinea Cup for vessels of any tonnage.

CRICKET.

The Marylebone_had_one_day's play with the St. John Wood Club on the 28th of May. There was some excellent bowling, batting, and fielding on both sides, and the latter, though comparatively novices, made strong play against their powerful opponents.

On the 4th of June W. Ward, Esq. with nine of the Marylebone Club and Lilly white, played W. Bennett, Esq. and ten B.'s. Mr. Ward's party scored 129 in their first innings, and the B.'s 65. The latter, however, put their opponents' side out in their second innings for 29, and consequently had 93 to go in against.

They played excellently, but could only add 69 to their score, thus leaving Mr. Ward 24 a-head. The match lasted till Wednesday afternoon.

The Epsom and Clarence Clubs played at Epsom on the 11th. Mr. Ward and Mr. Kynaston on the part of the former played admirably, the latter scoring nearly 100, and the total of the two innings amounting to 312.-The Clarence marked only 72 in their first innings, and went in for 240 but oh! what a falling off was here!-nine wickets down, and only forty runs!-but......cetera desunt!

On the 18th the Members of the Club assembled numerously at Lord's, and had day's play, but there was no match in consequence of Ascot

A second match, for 5001. a-side, 100 ft. between Rattler and Driver, is named to take place on the Friday in the Newmarket July Meeting, within 100 miles of the metropolis. Both matches excite much interest in the Sporting World.
