the supply of foreign produce on sale is small. The trade
is less active for all qualities, and the late advance in prices

SPORTING NOTES.

The meeting at Egham and Oxford were only noticeable
for the knocking about of East Lancashire and Welcome
for the Great Ebor Handicap, and their ultimate return into
favour. The Great Yorkshire carnival commences to-
morrow and extends over three days. The most important
race to be decided is the Great Yorkshire, where Blair
Athol and General Peel will fight their Derby battle over
again, but this time at a difference of 71b. in favour of the
latter. •

The Conviv'al Stakes, in the absence of Gardevisnre,
will be won by Wild Agnes. Claremont ought
to have no difficulty in securing the Three-Year-Old
Biennial, and Clarior the Burgundy Stakes, as Blue Mantle
will scarcely like the distance. The Yorkshire Oaks would
be a mero canter for nile de l'Air, if she returns in time
from the continent. In her absence Tooi-Toni will win.
On Wednesday, the Filly Sapling Stakes will be found at
the top of the card, and out of the 15 fillies' nominated there
is none with any pretentious to compete with Siberia. The
) Prince of Wales's Stakes, also for two-year•olds, has
nineteen entries, and the issue may be much effected by the
running of Tuesday. At present, however, Gontran, having
beaten Spring Gun at Liverpool, should just pull through.
The Great Ebor Handicap is not a had specimen of Mr
Johnson's abilities; and the early backers of horse's have
suffered as much by their precipitancy in investing, as they did
in the Northumberland Plate, Liverpool Cup, and Goodwood
Stakes. Of those that played a conspicuous part in the
betting before retiring into private life may be mentioned
Hymettus, Caller Ou, East Lancashire, and Alabama. For
the former being scratched no reason has been assigned,
but the decline of East Lancashire has been accounted
for by his being unable to be gone on with in the present
state of the ground., Caller Ou has retrograded because of
her journey to Egham ; and at one time there was a report
that Welcome had followed in the track of the other favou-
rites. For this statement, however, there was not the
slightest foundation, as no horse has been doing better
work since Nottingham. The starters will in all likeli-
hood comprise among others the following:—
Caller Ou
East Lancashire.... 4
Welcome

Despair . 5 • 7 8 ...... H. Grinishaw
Revolver
Donnybrook, 0r.... 4

The Tartar
The Clown .. 3

Raglan

Highflyer dam .... 3

Fiagaro, or
Alabama
Nemo .. 3
Caller Ou, although carrying the top weights, is far from
out of the fray, were it not for certain parties who are never
tired of laying against the old mare. Were things amicably
arranged bafore they face the starter she would be my sole
representative. Welcome, with the assistance of Fordham,
must be near winning. This horse has underwent one of
those finishing preparations for which John Scott is so cele-
brated. East Lancashire, after having been knocked about,
is again firm in the market, but I think he must be getting
stale. If in anything like the form when ho ran Dollar to
half a length he must be there or thereabout at the finish.
Donnybrook and The Tartar are both under a cloud, and
it would not astonish me to see one of them come to the re-
list of the fielders. There is none more likely to upset the
favourites than one of the pair. Raglan is very lightly han-
dicapped for a 4-yr-old, and if he cannot win in the com-
pany that will oppose him he ought to be turned out of
training, The Daniel o'Rourke colt has been occasionally
backed, but on Saturday a hostile, demonstration set in
against him, and doubts are entertained that he may not
even see the starter. The race, in my opinion, will end
in a match between RAGLAN and WELcoME, and when
the numbers go up I shall expect the judge to place—
WELCOME
RAGLAN 2
EAST I,ANCA.SHIRE....

The Great Yorkshire, to be contested en Thursday, will
produce about six runners, comprising Blair Athol, Gen.
Peel, .Claremont (a stable companion of Baragab, evi-
dently in reserve for the St. Leger), Ely, Guerilla, Paris,
and probably Hymettus. The race will be a match between
General Peel and Claremont, giving a slight preference to
the former, as I do not believe; Blair Athol can give 71bs
to either of the two. Rapid Rhone should win the Cup,
next to whom I shall expect Caller Ou.

A FRESH MAN,
