SPORTING NOTES.

The only alteration that has taken place in the market
for the City and Suburban Handicap since my notes of yes-
terday is the introduction of Lord Zetland into the betting,
and the increased support awarded to Veterinarian. The field
will not be so large as last year. The following will likely
take part in the race :—Gordian Knot, 3 yrs, bst 101b—Ve-
terinarian, 3 yrs, sst 71b—Jarnicoton, 4 yrs, Est 131b—Brin-
disi, 3 yrs, sst 131b—Flying Fish, 4 yrs, 7st 51b—Voluptas,
4 yrs, Est 51b—Lord Burleigh, 5 yrs, Bst 121b—Marigold,
4 yre, 7st 101 b- Merry Hart, 4 yrs, 7st 61b—
Stookinger, 5 yrs, 7st 21b--Torn Fool, 4 yrs, 7st 121 b
King of Utopia, 4 yrs, 7st 91b—J uliet, aged, 7st 41b—Sum-
merside, 4 yrs, 7st 21b—Avondale, 4 yrs, 7st—Columbia, 4
yrs, Gst 71b—Lord Zetland, 3 yrs, Gst 31b—Effie (the Phemy
filly), 3 yrs, sst 121b—Sir Roger, 3 yrs, sst 131b—Count
Cevour, 4 yrs, Gst 41b—Mail Train, 3 yrs, sst Mb—St.
Alex `s, 5 yrs, Bst 21b—Saccharometer, 4 yrs, Bst 71b—
Weatherspy, 4 yrs, Get 31b. Gordian Knot and Veterinarian
are very steady in the market, and no doubt will remain so
up to the start. Both of them have won their trials, and it
will take a clipper to dispose of either. As public form is
always the best guide, I must give the preference to Mr.
Jackson's horse. Jarnicoton does not seem so steady in
the market. He certainly has the best of the weights of
almost every other horse ; and remembering how close he
ran Lord Clifden over the same course last year he ought
not to be despised. Brindisi has been backed for large
sums both to win and a place. Lord Zetland Ido not think
can give the weight he is called upon to do to such horses as
Veterinarian and Gordian Knot,but nevertheless he is bound
to be near the winner. So much doubt surrounds what
will represent the Woodyeales stable, that it is impossible
to arrive at a satisfactory conclusion about either Voluptas,
Joco, or Aunt Judy, but I think the former most worthy
of support. Merry Hart will likely be the stable
representative, instead of Marigold; but the latter is cer-
tainly the best at the weights. Summerside, I anticipate,
will be reserved for the Newmarket Handicap. Tom Fool
I referred to yesterday. When the numbers go up, the
judge will place them in nearly the following order :

VETERINARIAN a
BRINDISI
GORDIAN KNOT..
LORD ZETLAND 4

The Metropolitan Handicap I shall refer to at length to.
morrow ; but my present impression is that King Charming
will not be far away from the winner. Welcome will re-
main in his stable.

A FRESH MAN.
