,SPOBTINO NOTI3B.

The Sporting Liffe understands that it is the
intention of Mr. T. V. Morgan to relinquish keeping a
stud of horses in training, and that all his animals will be
shortly offered for sale by. public auction. The same
journal has also the following items :—After the Great
Yorkshire Stakes yesterday Mr. Padwick, the nominal
owner of The Earl, offered 3,0001. for Viscount, which
Mr. John Scott refused, saying that no price would in-
duce him to part with the horse. Charnwoocl, who started
first favourite for the Stakes, broke a blood-vessel in the
head when abet 300 yards from home, andeCng double
at the girths of Viscount. He StVped Inidd v Freuch'e
hands, and was passed by Cap4-Pie Blue and The
Spy, finishing fifth. Strathconan broke down badly in
his off foreleg when running for the York Cup, and has,
in all ibeity, terminated his career on the Turf.
The y having been disqualified for the Hunter's Parse
at the to Worcester Summer Meeting, the committee
object to pay the stakes to the owner of the second, Night-
mare, on the ground of incorrect entry as to age.—Bra.

Condor is undoubtedly the pick of English cutters, so
that the race—barring accidents—will afford a fair cri-
terion of the progression in yachting architecture, since
the advent of the America, made by both nations. We
had an opportunity of seeing Sappho come through the
Needles en the day of her arrival, and although moving
along at a great pace she seemed to raise a very heavy
quarter sea. In appearance she Mr= resembles Fleet-
',Mg, but is much=er looking ♦ although having
but little more free ; the masts are placed wide apart,
and are not so taunt as either of the Atlantic racers.
There is but little doubt, however, that Sappho is fully
capable of sustaining the prestige of America, and we
should—to chance the quarter the wind may bang from on
Tuesday next—feel more inclined topin our faith on Con-
dor than either Aline or Cambria to uphold British
interests.

The Pad ear that the Match, as may be impacted, is
exciting great interest, and a steamboat has been char-
tered to take passengers round with the tts, which
will give many sa opportunity of ;Nag t • the most
exciting and most important match of modern 'mes, use
being mkoned the fastest yacht that has ever
come aeroee the Atlantic, the celebrated America of 1841
being, it is alleged, far inferior to her in speed. To beat
either of the yachts she is about to compete with will,
however, be no child's play ; and we do not expect that
it will be a very easy vWry for her. The Sappho is now
lying off the Royal Yacht Squadron Castle, and daily
attracts a great number to see her.
DEEII-67A1JUMO EXTILWIDDIASY.—On Saturday last
Lord Stamford had one of the most successful day's stalk-
ing known for many years. He :talked the fond of Glen
More, but the tint lot of ship his lordship came upon
having been startled by some hinds, they got out of the
reash of his tram' when he was compelled to again com-
mence stalking diemountain, which is one of the highest
in Scotland, hem the bottom close to the marsh of Mar
Forest. After stalking some of the most difficult parts of
the mountain Ma lordship came upon another lot, and
had eight shots in succession, to each of which a stag fell.
Six of than never moved from the spot where they were
laid low ; one staggered to the top of aprecipiee, over which
he fell, and was found sanaahed to pieces at the bottom—in-
deed into such small atoms, that the forester, who macu-
lated his weight to be last was unable to save any part of
him. The eighth stag was brought to bay at the bottom
of the Braemar Pare, where he was stuck by another of
the foresters in attendance. The largest of the remaining
stags weighed 14st, and had a clean head of 8 points. Ano-
ther weighed 1& et, and had 10 points, whilst all the other*
were good gage, three of them having 8 points. The day
was frightfully hot, indeed the most oppressive known
this season in Scotland, and as there was not a breath of
air stirring, the labour and difficulty experienced by Lord
Stamford in this day's stalking may be imagined, but
which wne well repaid by the extraordinary sport detailed
above.—Sporting Gazette.
