SPORTING NOTES.

THE CAMBRIDGESHIRE.

The old adage of "Many men, many minds," is
strikingly exemplified with reference to the Cambridge-
shire. Each of the leading favourites has a sanguine
and numerous party of supporters, whose confidence in
their respective animals is particularly indicated by the
betting. The Newmarket folk steadily adhere to Crown
Pigeon, and in this instance I believe their opinion is
entitled to respect. It is stated that Crown Pigeon is
now Gibs. better than he was when he ran for the Cesare-
witch, and his trainer and owner are equally sanguine of
pulling through. Pole Star, however, has made a most
favourable impression on the cognoscenti at head-quar-
ters ; and an opinion obtains, founded upen her running
at Warwick, that she will be close up with
Crown Pigeon, wherever the favourite may finish.
Flatterer's advance in the betting is not a little signifi-
cant, and although he is handicapped to give Crown
Pigeon and Pole Star " lumps of weight," I shall ex-
pect to see him occupy a very forward position. Through
Hercules his party possess a good line by which to mea-
sure the capabilities of " the Pigeon," and they have
doubtless cogent reasons to justify their confidence. Of
Robgill I have little hope ; Veteran is turned loose, and
if there be any faith in the power of money, he will run
respectably. Still hopes are entertained of Calamus.
Of Flacrow I am unable to form a satisfactory opinion,
owing to the prejudice which exists against the horse.
Vandyke goes well and looks well ; he has recently
entered Dockeray's stable, and the " Irish Division
stand him to a man." The late hour at which I left the
betting-rooms compels me to render my notes unusually
brief, but the reader will doubtless be satisfied if I suc-
ceed in indicating the winner. I have, then, no hesita-
tion in expressing my opinion that the race will termi-
nate in favour of

CROWN PIGEON.
In his default I shall expect either FLATTERER or POLR
STAR to achieve success.
