SPORTING NOTES.

The Brighton Meeting, following so closely on the heels
of Goodwood, is al ways certain to attract a large attend-
ance. The fatal accident which happened to Frew is much
to be lamented ; and I am only doing justice to the young
man to state that the sympathy felt for him was no more
than he deserved, for he was a good horseman, and by no
means tainted with the follies and faults which render so
many of his companions absurd in the eyes of all well-
thinking persons, who like to see a servant keep his place.
The sport, which, if not exciting during the three days,
was at all events amusing, suggests very few comments.
Over and again has the Goodwood Stakes foreshadowed the
result of the Brighton Handicap, and again we may be said
to have had another illustration of the fact, for although
Blackdown was beaten by the shortest of heads, Magnum
Bonum ran so forward in that race that he might have been
third, could any corresponding benefit have accrued from
it. The Nursery field here is always a large one, and the
ring viewed with satisfaction the well filled telegraph of
names that went up, as it promised them a good return for
their exertions. Nor were their hopes deceived, as all the
money laid out on the favourite was secured by them
owing to the success of Madame Walton, a daughter of old
Fisherman, who, being trained by a countrymen like
Golby, was never thought of by the talent; they
went to the swell stables for their fancies, and paid hand-
somely for their error. 'The position of Junius showed there
were some grounds for backing him at Goodwood ; and by
the Clown getting third,the quality of Paris was fully made
out. In the Three-year-old Biennial, the defeat of the
Gunner by Avondale wai an unwelcome surprise, for when
the distance is considered, it looked any odds on the former,
but perhaps ho is too leggy to run over an up-and .down
course like Brighton, On Wednesday, Fairwater, stale
from her previous work,could not compete with Tippler.
The Cup, although a Ices to the company, from being
walked over for by Calle* Ou, was in reality a gain to the
fund, as hall the added money was saved. There
are five meetings this week,—viz., Wolverhampton,
Newton Abbott, Readng, Wenlock, and Paisley.
The Wolverhampton Stales has a good acceptance, but I
do not believe that more Dan a dozen will reach the post.
Balham, after his severe rice last week, will likely be an
tn
absentee. Oldminster is t certain starter, and if he would

101 b for winning he ought to be near
the Brighton Stakes, which raises his weight to
7st 71b, making him give Jack o' Hearts 211 b, or
101 b more than he have him for the Goodwood
Stakes, which will prelude him from winning also.
Suburban won the (treat Warwickshire Handicap
with 21b more on his bacl than what he has to carry hero.
The distance being the sane he ought be kept on the right
side. Jack o' Hearts, if ir his Goodwood form, when he ran
third to his stable companion Blackdown, ought to win.
Tourist is a glutton at a dstance, es he showed himself at
the Curragh Meeting, wlere he carried off three Queen's
Plates in the commonest tf canters. The judge, I expect,
will place them in the foll.wing order :
