SPORTING NOTES.

The Tomato case was again brought under notice yester•
day at Tattersalls, when it was decided by Admiral Rous
and his colleagues that the committee who pronounced the
decision declaring all bets off had no power to deal with the
case. It is to be hoped that the Knowsley case will be
dealt with in the same manner. The Newcastle Meeting
commences to-day, but to-morrow is the principal day,
when every establishment is shut as closely as on Sunday,
and the whole population betakes itself to the Moor to wit-
ness the Northumberland Plate, which may be termed the
Chester Cup of its district. The handicap for the present
raco is one of the best Mr. Johnson has ever made, and
contrasts very favourably with some that have recently
come off in the South, for out of 52 subscriptions there have
only been 18 forfeits. The field will be made up from the
following :

Horse. Rider.
Carbineer, 5 yrs, Bst 121 b A. Edwards.
Caller Ou, 5 yrs, Bst 81b
The Monk, 6 yrs, 7st 51b Midgley.
Stariton, 5 yrs, 7st 91b .. -
Oldicainster, 5 yrs, Bat 31b
Lothians' 'King, 6 yrs, 7st 31b -
Doefoot, 5 yrs, 7st 31b ..........
Polynesia, 4 yrs, 7,t ..............
Pilot, 4 yrs, 6at 91b
Bohemian, 3 yrs, 6at

Daniel O'Connell, 3 yrs, sst 121 b ...... Noble.
Alice, 3 yrs, sst 101 b
Brilliant, 5 yrs, Bst -_

Carbineer, who will carry the Zetland spots, has not runt
since York, where, in the Great Northern Handicap, he
failed to realise the anticipations that had been formed of
him. This was owing to the slowness of the pace for the first
mile and a half. Now, in all probability, there will be a
stronger pace ; and, if so, the horse that could beat Asteroid
at even weights last year for the Queen's Vase at Ascot,
must have the finest chance, on this occasion, cf proving
he has lost none of his form. On Monday week I selected
him as the very best horse in the race, when he was never
mentioned in the betting ; and those who followed my
advice must now have rare hedging at his present short price.
I fully expect to see him first favourite at starting, and also
to carry Lord Zetland's colours first past the post. Caller Ou
carries three pounds less than she had on in the Ascot Cup,
where she was nowhere to Tim Whiffler and Buckstone ;
and if she could not get before Isoline at their respective
weights, I do not imagine with ail the assistance that Ald-
croft can give her she can carry off this handicap, more
especially as she has been Queen's Plate gathering so much
within the last three weeks. Still she may get a place, for
the distance will be no object to her. Adventurer has
still plenty of friends who are only waiting for a stable
demonstration to back him, notwithstanding his high
weight and recent severe work. Good horse as I have
always contended him to be, still he was so shin-sore
when he pulled up after the Queen's Vase, it strikes me he
will not be himself again for some time ; and as the course
is so rough a cne, he is sure to feel it, so I must give up all
hope of Adventurer for the present. Doefoot is not at all
badly in, even with her penalty, and will run well; but as
I have always seen her perform better over a mile and a
half than two miles, I cannot recommend Dcefoot to your
readers for this event. The Monk has been so very
leniently treated by the handicapper that he was instantly
nibbled at by the public, and a shorter price taken than his
owner would seem to relish, for he went out of the market
after a very short stay. Should he return to his old price,
which his owner's money would soon bring him to, I think
he will be found better than the Ascot Stakes winner, and
the best outsider in the race. Captain Crow carries a pound
less than he did in the Ascot Stakes, in which he was a bad
fourth ; but as the distance now is half a mile shorter, the
change may be all the better for the Captain, who, like
the Monk, is a good outsider. Polynesia won twice
out of the five times she ran last year, her best
performance being in the Doncaster Stakes, in which she
beat Buckenham very cleverly. She is a fine mare and
leniently handicapped, and of course if Buckenham was in
at about the same weight, the race would be over. But as
in the Parkhill she was nowhere to Imperatrice, Hurricane,
and the Maid of Masham filly, I am afraid I must come to
the conclusion the distance will stop her. The Birthday
filly is very moderate, as is likewise The Pilot, who ran 13
times last year without scoring a race—a sufficient reason
for my not putting your readers under his guidance. Pro-
logue has nothing to carry, and I do not think would mind
the course, but she wants speed to find her way home in
this company. Trust is not to be trusted. If I place them
in the following order I think I shall not be far from the
mark :

CARBINEER
CALLER OU
LOTHIAN'S KING

The other events depend so much on previous running
that I will not venture an opinion upon them. With re-
gard to the Goodwood Stakes my present impression is
that Canzonette will be found the best of William Day's
lot, and that Myrtle will win the Goodwood Cup.

A FRESH MAN.

TATTERSALL'S-MONDAY.

The anxiety created by the announcement made in the
daily papers on Tuesday last, that the memorial forwarded
to the committee of the room had been favourably received,
and would meet with their serious attention this afternoon,
had the effect of attracting a larger attendance than would
have otherwise been met wi:h here. The early part of the
forenoon was occupied by the settling upon the last week's
racing in Hampshire, which was got through with some
expedition, and some trifling wagering then took place upon
the Northumberland Plate, but which exhibited such a want
of spirit, as to call for no other exposition than that
afforded in the return given below. Shortly before post
time an indication was given of the breaking up of the
committee by the appearance on the lawn of Admiral Etous,
who was immediately attended by a host of eager in-
quirers as to the decision of those " most learned in the
law," who were referred to the official notioe exhibited in
the usual place, which oppeared to give anything but satis-
faction. Contrary to expectation, instead' of dealing with
the spirit of the memorial, the executive body apparently

Thus it will be seen that the mountain that has been in
labour the past week has produced a mouse, and the ques-
tion remains as open as when first broached, beyond the
fact that an intimation was made that the committee would
meet on Monday next,
when if any plaint was lodged it
would receive their attention.
A notice also was exhibited during the afternoon with
