Very favourable accounts here come to head the morn-

of the wheats have been secured in excelleet condition.
Fresh up, to-day, rather a large quantity of new English
wheat came to hand in excellent condition ; hence the show
of samples was rather exteadve. Both red and white
qualities met a heavy demand at a further decline in the

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

THE LATE YORK MEETING, WITH HINTS
FOE STOCKTON, LORAN, AND OXFORD.

TO Tit =riot Or MI EXPILSOL
Sift —lf the performances of the two-year-01a et
the late York meeting brought to light no prominent mai&
date for the Derby of 1884, the Wee-year-old oonteste said
much oilmen iog the forthooming St. Leger, and the meet-
ing, on the whole, was a mast ieteresting one. As regards
the two-year.olda, it is evident that Linda was by far the
best of the lot amen Jerre the three days, as she beat
Apprioe, Prince Arthur, the Moony filly, Dr.
Kooks, a, , with the greatest ease; sod the furrier
laving run Claremont to a neck in the Convivial,
and ratio therein King George and Coast Guard,
there I ouly Surma, of all the juvenile wirers at the
mooting, who is not most directly held secure by Linda,
whose double defeat at the bands of Paris at Goodwood will
make the iatter's performares appear much better than
they did at nrst sight, and certainly the beet of the year, so
far as the Derby homes are corers&
Of the 5.,yr.01ds retests, won respectively by Miss Arm-
atroog, the Ranger, Lord Glasgow's Young Melbourne colt,
and Cistercian, it was universally admitted there was no
form shown good enough for the St. Leger (in which event
the first and list named are not engaged), as the Eagle, Old
Orange Girl, and Rapid Rhone finished too close to the
Banger for his performances to be at all satisfactory ;
albeit there was an excuse in his looking some-
what light, and it is likewise argued that he
beat Rapid Ebro in the Great Yorkshire Stakes
as Sr as Maccaroci and Lord Clifden did in the Derby.
But Old Orange Girl had no business within a neck of a St.
Leger favourite, and it most be taken for granted they have
something at Melton infinitely superior to Old Orange Girl
in Queen Bertha, whose performances, neverthekes, rear
of turinselves recommendatory, for she beat Marigold only
a head in the Epsom Ors, rid the latter was a long dis-
tance behind Mw Armstrong on Tuesday last, consequently
if 141.10011 Bertha, the beat of the fillies, is so superior to
the Ranger, and only on a par with Lord Clifden, the best
horse in the St. Leger is Avenger, who ran away from
Borealis and Vivid (within a neck of Queen Bertha at
Epsom), at Ascot ; and he liu been so freely laid against of
late that, ',resuming there is a something wrong, one of the
outsiders, Golden Pledge, ought to be in the front
rank of fsrourites. He won the Ebor Handicap
with the most ridiculous ease, when running nearly
all Iris opponents with the word of the weight', and
did quite sufficient for all his previous performances to be
igurneil, it being evident that he has trained on sines the
spring in about the same ratio as nanny St. Leger wirers—
t° wit, Galles On, Gamester, Warlock, &arbor. end
Knight of St. George.
Tee Stockton Meeting, which takes place on Tuesday,
Wednesday, and Thursday, will bring out essay of the
York performers ; and the Teased Biennial, for three-
yearolds, will tell us whether the Old Orates Girl's
running in the Great Yorkshire Stakes was correct She
bas to carry 9st 31b ; and if tamable of defeating Oldster '
at 9st 41b, The Cornet at Set 121 b, Manfred at Bst 1316,
Stockier at Bst 716, Erin-go-Bragh at flat 41b, Winthrop,
at Set 41b, Judas at Sot 21b, sad National Guard
at Sot 71b, there would certainly be no mistake about
bar being the equal of The Ramer, for Judea, Stock-
man, sod Nalaral Guard have so much the best of
the weights that one of the trio rams bawd to boat
her, or all of them that may put in an appearance. The
starting of National Cord is doubtful, as he did not show
at York for richer stakes, and Judea is by far the most
trustworthy, with his tab allowance; but he, for some un-
accountable ream, would not show at Wolverhampton
when having amour ear a task before him, and the only
dangerous opponent to Old Orange Girl at the post may be
discovered in Stockman. The Cleveland Stakes, for two-
yr-olds, six furlongs, has Samosa% Lady of Coverhana,
John Gully. Praia's, Hazvest all, Dawdle, Varies, and
the Loafer tor the best performers, and with • good "dark"
one in the field, the whole lot are liable to be beaten. Lady
of Coverham and Vanier are both in J. Osborne's stable,
which also costars three of the remaining thirty-one sub-
scribers, I and as Saregoor beat Vanier very easily at
York, Lady of Coverhain may turn out her most demonise
°moor. For the Tradesmen's Plate Trutt is entitled
to favourable oposideration, despite his 51b penalty, as he
was a lon way second beet is the Ebor Handicap, and if
Johnny Armatroog can beat the representative of J. Scott's
stable in the Harry Fowler Stake" he will not be far from the
wiener, even with 9st nb ; Southport being the meet
likely metier tSe overthrow of the Whitewall champion in
the Town Plate. In the only handicap for the mooed day,
the Elton Juvenile Stakes, J. Soott is also to be respected,
with Theubslda ia at 7at 41b, Livros= at 7st 91b being also
worthy of notice, looking at the
miry
to meet. The
Hardwick* Stakes has a iwisedid miry of two-year-olds,
but the Blb allowances of as Danes sad Appears, and
the 510 of Syren, give them coneiderbly the best of all
the ri raining public performers, of which the Alma eoli,
Durham, rid Paris are all • flab--a circumstance
not unlikely to keepthemathoma Of the trio, Apine is
sealed to a alight preference. For the Lembloa Plate, a
eera-forlongs 2-yrrid rata, Prior Arthur has only Sara-
gossa sad War Dance to fear ; and the Great Northern St.
Leger, for 3-yrolds, nee mile and • half, is reduced to a
match between Borealis rid Miss Armstrong, Or Thum
day rare are three handicaps to be decided ; and they are
mainly dependent on previous running, the Monk in the
ILidalisiburougil comprising the only tempting investment
siert. Toe &thud Biennial, for 2-yr-olds, is also in the
some predicament, Claremont's 716 penalty being too math
!Delhi& to carry home, especially when Appears hasBth
allowed him ; and even should the loiter incur a penalty of
41b by winning the liardwicks, the 3lb advantage oe which
he mere Mr. Bowes's colt should tars the toles, even if
he has to succumb to one of the maidens. The Stockier
Four-year-old Claret Stakes may OM attract aught superior
SO As at Gabs, his most diagram opponents having an
eye, probably, to the autumn handicaps,
The Fgham Meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday will
afford the Gerry' a holiday, and the programme pro-
mises fair sport The Bettie( Stand Plats and Remy-
mere Stakes are the principal handicap for the first day,
Libeller being Dot at all ill-used in either, Bairns, in the
that instance sod Jos in the mooed having to be most
feared. Earl of Surrey is almost turned loose in the Welter,
and when Mr. Hears also ponesses three other allies, 110
min hardly miss securing the prim The King John Stakiss,
for twoleanolds, six furlongs, would puerto some heavy
tion, if it brought together Mt lad4Bylda (Set 1316),
eddington fiUy (int 101 b), Joshes 51b), Faith (Sot
10(b), and the Gleionassoo colt (84 fib), r it must be
a fine touch between the two fimiranied, of which
the Terldwitoe filly has not thinned the distance yet,
although leer performance" are decidedly the bast, ea she ran
arty from 41rippe (brother to Creme) at Ipewich. The
Benny and Middlesex Haadicap, two mike sad • distance.
is not exactly to the liking of Gibraltar. oe
(84 810) would ant stop him, aad he ray jug be bootee
Flirtatiou (Bst 81b) if the latter is oely is his Mehra
form. Thor Barons' Staked, • two-year-old handicap, is hard
to deal with, the form of Artesia* (7st 31b) being the beet
to follow probably, as he was • respectable fourth to Tarla-
tan, Vanessa, sod &rural. at the York Spring Merin.
The Oxford Meetiog is sure to be • good or, the
handicaps having rimers entries, and if the Eghain
rousing, which meeting it ihimedietely follows, doom net
spoil them, the fields will be good also. There are
some smart two-year-olds in the Prier of Wales's

Set 514 Attraction Bst 121 b, Garotter 9st Lb, Wangle Eye
Bst Lilb, Sea Boy, Bst sth, The Gordion Knot Set 51b, Felice
bit Sib, Dares Bst 131 b, and Vandervelde Set 51b, there Is
not much to choose between the majority of them, Sea Boy
being the moat trustworthy, as be ran a good second to the
Clown at Brighton. For the Oxfordshire Stakes I can raw-
ries nothing better treated than Loiterer; and if Wadlow
can find anything better than Spicebox be may carry off the
County Members' Plate, the Trial being a pretty good thing
for Neophyte. Friday's room are all dependent en previous
ranking, and it world be madness to speculate about them
