SPORTING NOTES.
(By our Sportiny Correspondent.)

Whenever an opportunity occurred to lay 7to 4
on Melton for the t. Leger, the talent snapped at
the chance with avidity, until 2 to 1 on was de-
mand9d. Never since Blair Athol's victory has
there been so popular a favorite, many persons pre-
dicting Lord Hastings colt will literally canter in
am: lose all the others in the race. Lonely (the
one I predicted in these columns as the coming out-
sider) is now an evens chance for a place, and the
most obtainable about he:. chance for a win is 9 to 1.
She is receiving her final preparation in the Good-
wood Park, and if any mishap should occur to the
favori.e would be returned the winner. Lord
Charles it is now definitely settled will form one of
the runners, and another outsider, Onesto, finds
favor at 100 to 8 for a place. Respecting the back-
end handicaps, nothing respecting the weighth will ,
be known until after the 10th just, when a special
supplement of the Racing Calendar will be pub-
lished. This week (Saturday), a most valuable and
interesting event in the Hartingtou Plate will be
decided at Derby—the stake being of the value of
1,000 sovs., the distance 5 furlongs 150 yards, so
that we shall have a fair show of "flyers" contest
the race. From what I can gather, the event should
prove a near thing between
LUMINARY AND ROSY MORN.

At Warwick, next week, the Leamington Plato
should go to
FORTUNE TELLER.

The Warwick Welter Cup, distance one mile and
a quarter,
