SPORTING NOTES.
(By our Sporting Correspondent.)
The wagring on the Dog Derby—the Waterloo
Cup—has been of an active description. Mr. Cross's
no:ll:nation still cantinuing at the head of affairs,
.vtiilst Mr. Gltdstone's follows close on at a point
:wee. The chief feature of the week in connection
with :his event was the return to fay.itir of Mr. Car
ruther's and Mr. Pilkington's nominations; who
at one time were driven to almost hopeless odds.
N-ither was Mr. Millers representative sa much
fancied. As regards the 2,000 guineas, Epsom
Derhy. and the Eclipse Stakes, Mr. Vyners Minting
ereaes quite a furore, the ridiculous odds of 7 o 4
beieg accepted at this period of the year abiut the
colt's chance, while 3to 1 was only forthcoming
ag-iust the Duke of Westminster's Ormonde whom
report says has made remarkable improvement
dwing toe recess. For the Epsom Derby, Mr.
Peeks unbeaten one, the Bard, who was suceessful
in lie sixteen outings last year, was well btfri nded
at 13 to 2, a similar price) being. taken and wanted
about Ormonde and Minting. Ot the outside
division there was a growing tendtncy to support
Gay Hermit, :Although I am informed that Oberon
will be found the beat of the Manton division. In
connection with the Spring Handicaps, until owners
and trainers have had an opportunity of putting
their various candidates through the mill, it is
impossible for them even to know what has "come
on "and I%hat has "gone off" during the winter
recess, and I find those that are receivint. notice in
the daily betting returns are merely public fancies,
not having been supported for a single. penny by
their respective partizans, therefore until I hear of
some genuine movemeuts I shall advise that the
races in question be left alone for another week or
so, However, in the meantime, those who are fond
of a long shot over the Liverpool Grand National
eanot do better than.have a bit on Sackhona,
