(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

The Warwick Meeting, from immediately preceding the
Northamptonshire Stakes, will be regarded with especial
interest, and some notable movements may be anticipated
in the Turf Market in connection with the first really im-

portant handicap of the season. During the last eight-

and-forty hour; Grimston has been backed for so large a
sum of money that he has quite supplanted Knutsford for
the position of first favourite. Both these horses have been
supported for a deal of money, and as Challoner rides for
Mr. T. Parr, and Fordham is retained for Knutsford, the
backers of the two favourites will have everything done for
them on the score of jockeyship. On Monday next it
will become my province to examine Mr. Marshall's
Northampton programme at length, but with reference to
Knutsford, let me remark that as the horse is a perfect
glutton at a distance, ho is sure to stay home, and, with
"the Demon" in the saddle, I question whether I shall be
able to furnish your readers with a better one to stand upon
at the finish than the honest and good-looking f on of Rata-
plan and Miss Melbourne. What may have been the issue
of the past day's racing at Warwick 1 am, of course, unable
to say, and any opinion now expressed- may wear a very
different complexion after the result of to-day's struggle.
Should Oldminstyr be allowed to run, he cannot, with such
a lenient impost, be beaten for the Great Warwickshire
Handicap. Dulcibella, my Newmarket correspondent
informs me, will run "big," consequently I can hardly stand
by the chance of Lord Stamford. Bedouin is likely to
be reserved until later on in the season, otherwise he is
formidable enough in the list of acceptances. William Day
will probably run Tolurno, or Dr. Syntax, and seeing the
decided form of the Woodyeaies stable, their representative
cannot but be dangerous. Balham's chance must not be
overlooked, and should he come well to the post, and Mr.
Morris back him, he will take a deal of beating. Supposing
that Oldminster is reserved my vote must be in favour of
John and William Day with Balham and Tolurno. If
Emblem only runs she cannot help winning the Hurdle
Race, but in her probable absence, it appears an equally
good thing for Sinking Fund. The Two-year-old Stakes
rests entirely between the two public performers, Starbeam
and Lady Nichol, and from the high trial which the former
won prior to Lincoln, coupled with his defeat of the Area
filly at Doncaster, I shall give him the preference over the
filly, although it will be a close thing between the pair. In
the Handicap Plate of £5O, six furlongs, I greatly fancy
Ellerton, Peignoir, and Certificate, whom I should choose
in the order named. The Grand Annual Steeplechase is
likely to fall to one of Mr. Baker's, Sinking fund or Light
of Other Days, the first mentioned for choice.

The coming " sensation " of the day in the sporting
world, will be the great battle between Heenan and Toni
King, who are matched to fight on the Bth of December for
£l,OOO aside. The articles are already drawn up, and £lOO
a• side deposited. The " battle of Farnborough " still lives
fresh in the memory of the public at large, and a revival of
the glories of that day in the persona of two such young
giants as John C. Heenan and Tom King, will create an
amount of interest and excitement hardly paralleled.

Florence, whose jockey was nearly unseated, Miss Rose,
Jack in the Green, Resolute, and Glautias, who again at-
tempted to refuse, going a long way in the rear. At the

BETTING AT MANCHESTER-TUESDAY.

For the Northamptonshire Stakes Grimston and Knuts-
ford were about equal favourites. 7to 1 was readily taken
about each of them, but anything less was declined. For
the City and Suburban, Adventurer cams in great force,
being supported at 11 to 1; and the one or two offers of
20 to 1 against the Glenochty colt were taken, the general
offer against him being 100 to 6. For the 2,000 Guineas
Saccharometer has almost regained his old position, having
friends at 5 to 1; but it made no change in Hospodar, about
whom 100 to 35 was taken. Nothing done on any of the
`Marwick events. Closing prices :
