.THE

LATEST SPORTING INTRI.LIGENCE

THE LIVERPOOL SUMMER MEETING.

TO Ties EDIT= 07 TIII K1P11287.
Sir,—From the several good fields out on the
second day of the Reading meeting it might have been in-
ferred by absentees that St. Swithin had dons something
for the dried-up turf, and that softer times were in store
for the poor thorough-bred; but his saintahip only tanta-
lised those so anxiously looking forward all day to a fall,
the few drops vouchsafed being scarcely enough to en-
danger the most fragile of bonnets, and I am afraid a more
than average dulness will pervade the closing business of
the week. There will be but a small master of quad-
rupeds at Aintree, at any rate, for the Liverpool Summer
Meeting, which, instead of being in the heart of a large train-
ing district like Reading, is comparatively isolated, whereby
Mr. Topham, while struggling to keep the once famous
Liverpool Cup among the great handicaps of the year, is
compelled to let his gathering give way to modern insti;
tutions, or submit to utter failure. He is content to
" climb" with the second day at Stamford, and have
Saturday to himself for a grand day, an experiment that
may prove remunerative, for he is certain to bo
patronised by a host of half-holiday makers
and north-country talent paying court to the
('up, whatever may betel him on Friday. One of the
features of the opening day, the Great Lancashire Pro-
duce Stakes, appears spoiled already, as Badsworth is
Did likely to put in an appearance, whilst the 8 lbs.
allowed Agrippa need only show to scare away anything
like strong opposition. The Croxteth Flying Handicap will
suit Betty and Evelina; the Scurry Welter, Adamiuithea ;
the Stanley Nursery, Retort; the Holyneux Cup, The Sawyer
and Mercury ; and the Queen's Plate, Mandrake ; but
until these are decided it would not be fair to touch upon
Saturday's minor items, all I can urge being that Perfume
can about win the Badminton, Lymington the St. Leger
(in the absence of Micas), the Czar or Minster Bell the
Welter Cup, Alicia or Evolina the Sefton, and Waffles the
501. Plate for two and three year olds.
The Liverpool Cup, a mile and a half race, has but
sixteen left in—still, as only a " tenner " can be saved
by keeping a horse in the stable, and the prize is worth
between five and six hundred pounds, the majority should
run, despite the small odds taken about two or three
candidates. Fervacques, Honeetish, Wild Briar, The
Dean, comprise all that have been backed in anything like
earnest as yet, albeit the owner of. Papillon laid 6 to
2 to lose some money against Fervacques and Wild Briar
on Monday, thereby intimating that his Goodwood Stakes
favourite would be a warm one some day. She does not,
however, impress me as being very dangerous, and no sign
having been made about Caithness, I see no reason to
desert my old loees, Fervacques and The Dean, my pre-
dilection for the last named being very strong.
With reference to the Clifden Cup at Stamford, I have
to correct an error in my yesterday's letter, the retired
" Lozenge " having been inadvertently written in place of
Lord Ronald ; and I must also substitute Pompeii for
Lure in the Johnstone Nursery, the filly having been left
behind when Matthew Dawson took his team on from
Newmarket.—l am, &c., METEOR.

I3ETTING IN LONDON.-(THIS DAY.)

2.30 P.M.

Although there was but a scanty muster to-day,
some rather important changes occurred in connec-
tion with forthcoming events. For the Liver-
pool Cup 160 to 100 was booked in favour
of Fervacques, and the taker would have gone on at the
price. For the Goodwood Stakes 4to 1 was laid against
Gomera to some 4001., and the odds were still offered. Can-
non Ball would have been backed at 10 to 1, but the
offers stopped short at a point less. For the Goodwood
Cup 100 to 30 was offered against Blinkhoolie without
meeting with a response. Prices as follows:
