SPORTING NOTES.

THE HOUGHTON MEETING-.
The Criterion and Tile Cambridgeshire arc at present
the only events which attract attention.' The former
is, however, likely to be less interesting than its prede-
cessors ; the latter will as usual afford an en-
counter of vast and stirring importance. Although
speculation on the Cambridgeshire makes somewhat
slow progress, and although its range has been very li-
mited, still its tendency is becoming clearly traceable,
and the changes effected in the daily price current
are peculiarly significant and indicative of coming
events. Notwithstanding, however, the advance
of, Flatterer, Veteran, Flacrow, Pole Star, and
others, Croon Pigeon still maintains his pride
of place, and is supported with a steadiness and con-
fidence not a little encouraging to his backers. I shall
not enter into the comparative merits of the probable
competitors, intending, as usual, to despatch my notes
from Newmarket on Monday. I have no hesitation,
however, in stating my present fancy for Flatterer and
Cruwn Pigeon. The next, in my estimation, are Pole
Star and Miss Allen. Should I gather any information
calculated to alter my opinion, I shall place it fully be-
fore the reader on Monday evening.
The Criterion Stakes Will be carried off by either
Porto Rico or Wahner.
Oct. 20. A FRESH MAN.
