SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

We have been informed that Nellie, one of the competitors in the Open-boat Sailing Race at Monday's regatta, went out of her course, when holding second position, to succor the crew of the swamped Red Jacket. Mr Hay ward and those who were with him in the Nellie deserve equal credit with Phillips for effecting the rescue. A match will be run at the Forbury on Saturday afternoon between P. Ryan's b m Romarua (7st 71b) and Mr Duckmanton's bhj Sir Garnet (9st 71b). The course is to be a mile, and the stakes L2O aside. Probably a hack race and a trot will also be run afterwards.
