TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Under the head of Election Movements, in the
Morning Advertiser of this morning, a paragraph op-
pears announcing that "a meeting of the friends of
Mr. Harvey was held at Hawkstone Hail, Waterloo-
road, on the previous evening, at which that gentleman,
in an address which was enthusiastically received, stated
his political views, and resolutions pledging the meeting
to his support were adopted." We beg to state that
the meeting in question was convened by the committee
of Messrs. D'Eynconrt and Williams, and was addressed
by those gentlemen, and a resolution passed pledging
the meeting to support them at the ensuing election.
Mr. Harvey has not yet held a public meeting in the
borough of any kind.
We remain, Sir, your obedient serventr,

SPORTING NOTES.
No. CCXLVI.
THE NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE MEETING.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Next week is prolific with sport both in north
and south: Newcastle putting forth its attractions in the
north of England, and Bibury, Stockbridge, and Win-
chester exhibiting their charms in the opposite direction.
Nov as it so happens that each of these reunions this
year possesses an unusual amount of attraction—the
stakes being numerous and well filled—l have made a
point of commencing my remarks upon them a day
earlier than usual, my motive for doing which will no
doubt be seen and I hope appreciated by those for
whose benefit it is done. I shall not touch upon any
oiler events than those of Newcastle to-day.
The sport commences on the banks of what scribblers
are pleased to term " the coaly Tyne," with the last spin
of the Second Trienial Produce Stakes, which seems to
be the peculiar property of Mr. Wentworth—his ches-
nut colt Azeth having won it in 1850, beating Presto
by a head, walking over for it last year, and this year
is again likely to do a similar feat, it not being worth
the while of the owner of Presto to send his horse to
Newcastle to receive the second money—a matter of
something under 201., so AZETH will remain alone in his
glory.
The second event will be the Tyro Stakes, to be
run over the T.Y.C., which is about six furlongs. We
shall probably have the following at the post, namely:—
Ann Eliza, Nestor, Charming Woman, the Queen, and
Lambton. The race will probably terminate in placing
THE QUEEN, LAMBTON, and CHARMING WOMAN, first,
second, and third.

The North Derby of 10 soya. each, with 100 added,
once round, being 3,162 yards, will probably be con-
tested by one of Scott's, the Marinello colt or Phantom,
Gossamer, and perhaps Lucio. I shall look to Scott's
horse for the winner. Stilton is a non-starter.
On Wednesday the sport will commence with the
third Triennial Produce Stakes over the two mile course;
and, notwithstanding that the names of Songstress and
Claverhouse figure in the entry, I shall look for the
winner in EVADNE or PELOPIDA-5, the former for choice.
The Produce Stakes of 25 sovs. each, h ft, for two
years old, over the T.Y.C., will probably fall to the lot of
Lord Fauconberg.
The Northumberland Plate of 200 sovs., added to a
Handicap Sweepstakes of 15 sovs. each, 10 ft, and only
five, if declared, &c., over the two mile course, is of
course the crack event of the meeting. The field, it is
eiltilricleeted, will comprise most of the following names:—
Bird-on-the-wing, 3 yrs, sst 12lb; Caracara, 3 yrs,
4st
4 101 b; Colsterdale, 4 yrs, 6st 41b; England's Glory,
yrs, sst 101 b; Jack Leeming, 4 yrs, 6it 41b; Gelding,
by Morgan Rattler, 5 yrs, Est 61b; Paquette,
yrs, est;
Phantom, 3 yrs, sst 121 b; the Proctor,
4 rs
Y , set 121 b ; St. Micael, 3 yrs, 4st 101 b;
Stiltoo, 3 y r
li 6st, including albs for winning the
Metropolita
and perhaps one of Saunders's
—Goldfinder, ItrudicaP;
gleader, or Trickstress. This field, it
is very possible
tY be added to or subtracted from,
before Wednesday
on neat; should such be the case I shall
notify the same
.n ay or Tuesday. Fora long time
past Stilton has not only monopolised the position of first
favourite, but also all
the betting; within the last
few days, however, commissions have been flying about
in support of Bird-on-the-Wing, St, Michael, Caracara,
Phantom, and one or two ethers; and I think it not at
all improbable that the field !nay put on a much bolder
front before the bell rings
efierre_s•addling. This course—
although somewhat of a
a ~.,. m r shape—being much
larger than that at
.un t
is better adapted
to Stilton's enormous stride,essul'consequently will en-
able him to run to better advantage than on the Roodee.
I cannot help thinking', however, that he starts on very
unfavourable terms with the majority of his competitors.
One Of his most dangerous rivals is the little Bird-on-
the-Wing, whose performance in the Oaks entitles
her to a considerable share of
attention. The
mysterious Phantom, too,
is expected to ran very for-
ward in the race, and as Scott says so—bearing in mind
what he said of Daniel before the Derby—I shall
not forget Phantom in this instance. St.
'Michael,
although supported heavily by many, I have
no fancy for whatever. The Proctor and pa_
quetta are both let loose; and if either have any
pretensions to racing, they ought to show them on this
occasion. England's Glory has not bcen very bright
lately, or at sst 101 b he should bo the absolute
winner; as it is, I expect he will be nowhere.
More, however, anon. One of the lowest in the
