SPORTING NOTES.

No. CCCXXXIII.
THE LATEST PARTICULARS CONCERNING
THE CAMBRIDGESHIRE, &e.

" Now comes apace the evening of the year,
With all its sunset glories spread around,
forcibly reminding us sporting mortals of the close ap-
proximation of the hyperborean season, and its accom-
paniments of hunting, coursing, and steeple-chasing.

"The time of shadow and of flowers,
When roads gleam white for many a winding mile,"
has fled, or is fast gliding away, and with it the sports
of spring and summer—cricketi❑g, rowing, and racing.
Newmarket's Houghton meeting will this week wind
up what is termed the " legitimate" racing season of

1852 ; and to-morrow week tho curtain rises (at
Worcester) for the winter season, upon the first of
those reunions which have become so popular of late
years, where the steeple chase, flat and hurdle race,
play equal parts in the performance. But, transit hora
sine snore, (which, roughly translated, means that
the printer's devil wont wait) and, as I have but
twenty minutes to dot down the latest scraps con-
cerning the Cambridgeshire, it of necessity follows that
I must pay un immediate attention to that stake.
My latest advice. give the representatives of the
various stables as follows :—Kent's, Harbinger ; Isaac
Day's, Ephesus; J. Shepherd'a, Sir Charles ; Saunder's,
Robbie Noble ; Le Jul! also runs. Beresfc,rd's, Alco-
ran ; T. Parr's, Weathergage ; Bardolph, I believe, also
yes. Peck's, Hookern Snivey, and Trosseau; Bullock's,
Grief ; John Osborne's, the Cutler, and, perhaps, Lady
Agnes ; Martin's, Ktadidjah ; Cooper's, Herbert; Car-
lisle's, Manifold ; John Day's, Father Thames ; Ford's,
Dulcet ; W. Scott's, Deceitful ; Hatlock's Phlegra, and
perhaps, Ilex. Dea,h's, Convulsion; E. Parr's, Sanita;
Steven's, Azad; JOra Scott's, Hyacinth, and Kilquade;
Dilly, Knight of the Shire ; Stubbing's, Alfred the
Great ; Kingston sr Hungerford will also run ; Young
Stephenson's, Billy Bar ; Hussey's, Sir John Barley-
corn ; Fisher's, hot ; Alec Taylor's, sister to Singa-
pore. Torn Ta3lor's Babette, with Gladiole or Lady
Evelyn to mare the running. Cleary's, Brawn ;
Roger's, Pane& ; and Boyce's, Peacock.
I have been gable to ascertain for a certainty what
Dawson intends starting, although, I believe, Varmint
and Evadne wll turn out to be the animals. lam in
the same fix as to Goodwin's starter, Musician and Divi-
dend being bcth there, and neither backed.
In additior to those given above, rumour reports the
probable stoning of Kooh-i-noor, Vermuth, Henrietta,
and one or two othere, whose appearance is of little con-
sequence, a, they will have no influence on the result.
Lady Apyott or Candlewick will probably also start;
but I hair) received no definite information concerning
them.
The merest of the race will be confined to the money
horses, tine in number, namely: Babette, Azael,
Ephesus Hobbie Noble, Weathergage, Convulsion,
Knight of the Shire, Hyacinth, and Alfred the Great.
The las-named ought not to be included in this category,
as he las been treated with comparatively little cash.
Bahitte, last Saturday week, was tried with Lady
Evelyt and Gladiole, at the Cambridgeshire weights,
and teat the Lady with most perfect ease by five lengths;
Glawa a bad third.
Lot week Azael won his trial very easily, beating
Buttn'flY
and Longinus.
Cmvulsion was tried on Thursday, and disposed of
Glaacer and Blood Royal, giving the latter above a stone
' ani w half, and won in a canter.
hyacinth is reported to have been tried with Daniel
°Rourke, and to have beat him.
On Friday, Hobbits Noble was tried with Joe Miller,
aid disposed of him with the same ease that Kingston
(id in the second October week.
Looking at these trials, the race would seem to lie, for
a certainty, among the winners of them; and if the place
of honour is not filled with ComvuLsrox to-morrow, I
think it must be by Azael or Babette. These three I
give to occupy the first three places; Hobbie Noble,
Ephesus, and Alfred the Great, heading the ruck.
To those who may be fond of outside fancies, the hard-
worked ;Sanita, Father Thames, Dawson's starters and
Brawn, aro worth trifling investments; as the present
state of the ground might capsize the calculations of the
backers of the favourites, it is in tolerable condition at
~he present time • but should the rain continue all day,
will be decidedly heavy to-morrow.—l am, Sze.,

three horses for the Cambridgeshire, viz., Hobble Noble,
Weathergage, and Ephesus; and Sittingbourna for the
Criterion. The first mentioned of this lot opened at 10
to 1, was backed heavily by the party, and closed at 7
to 1, the taker offering to go on. Weathergage also
was in force, and Ephesus had a few supporters at 12
and 13 to 1. These movements drove Azsel to 6to 1,
at which price he was quite friendless.
.Babette, although
not backed, was steady at 6to 1. Sittingboupe was
backed eagerly at 5 to 4, and 3 to 1 offered against any
other. Closing prices :
