SPORTING NOTES.

(Birour Sporting Cotresponclent )
Epsom Derby and Oaks.—Since Melton's victory
in the Payne Stakes, many good judges assert that
the Epsom Derby is over and that Lord Hastings
colt will win easily. To my idea that is only
"parodoxical" talk, for there is a wide difference
in the two courses—the Epsom gradience having
upset equally such declared certainties as is set
for eard in favor of Melton. Matt. Daweon also
trains another Derby candidate in Esterling, who,
it is reported, will beat more fancied candidates;
but I think his race will be the Grand Prize of Paris.
Paradox, since his victory in the 2000 guineas, has
gone on in the right way, and as his stable com-
p mien, Luminary, has been tried and found want-
ing, a dangerous animal has been removed out of
the way. Xaintrailles goes to France to run in the
E.,' ouch Derby on Sunday, therefore the double
i) .ige will not be much in his favor. Royal
npton hails from a dangerous quarter and will
.roe a thorn in the side of the best of them,
C:iipette colt will not get so near Paradox as he did
ia the 2000 guineas; and if the others holding en-
-4.1.4em-ints, little fear may be anticipated from them,
it be Child of the Mist, who might obtain a
,lace. However, I cannot throw over last and this
year's form, therefofe, shall plump for
MELTON AND PARADOX
with Royal Hampton as their most dangerous op-
tienent. The Epsom Grand Prize I shall award to
1111LD OF FREEDOM. The Epsom Oaks I think will
go to either DAME AGNES Or JANE.
