SPORTING NOTES.
(By our own Turf Correspondent.)

GREAT NORTHERN HANDICAP.

This event has only received a poor acceptance
eleven having cried content, six of whom hail from
Middleham, therefore their representative should be
able to hold all corners safe, but if I couple
CASTLEREAGH and KT. TEMPLAR
I think it just possible that I shall have again named
the winner.

GERMAN PRINCES ON NEWLY-
CREATED THRONES.

During the last fifty years, the St. Petersburg Gazette
remarks, all the newly created thrones in Europe, or
those in which the male hereditary succession had
from any cause lapsed, have been filled by princes of
German dynadties. A prince of the House of Saxe.
Coburg was elected ruler of the newly formed king.
dom of Belgium, after he had shortly before refused
the title of King of the Hellenes which had been offered
him. Princes of the same Houseimarried the Queen of
Portugal, Maria 11. da Gloria, in the year 1836, and
Victoria, Queen of England in the year 1840; and their
sons have become the heirs to the thrones of those
States. All attempts to fill the thrones of Spain and
Roumania with rulers not proceeding from German
dynasties have proved a failure. Both King Amadeus
I. of Savoy and Prince Couza, a born Roumanian,
were, after a brief period of rule, compelled to leave
the countries of which they had become the Sovereigns.
The throne of Greece was first occupied by a prince of
the Bavarian dynasty, Otto I.; and after his dethrone-
ment by George 1., prince of the Sleswick•Holstein-
Sonderburg-Gliicksburg line. The present ruler of Roll.
mania is a prince of the House of Hohenzollern-Sig.
maringen, and the new prince of Bulgaria is also of Ger-
man origin. Fifty years ago the privilege of filling vacant
or newly created thrones belonged almost exclusively
to France and Austria; several thrones in Italy were
held by Bourbons and Hapsburgs only twenty years
ago. The Gazette adds that it must be admitted that
the German Princes have understood their mission in
the countries which they were called upon to rule
better than the Bourbons and the Hapsburgs, as is
shown by the histories of King Leopold of 13elgiumi
Ferdinand of Portugal, Prince Albert, King George
of Greece, and Prince Charles of Roumania.—Pall
JJaU Gazette.
