SPORTING NOTES.

The July Stakes, run at Newmarket, brought out a very
small field, and betting was chiefly confined to Robin
Hood and Student. In addition to the two "cracks," the
field consisted of Mount Palatine, Sealskin, Wolsey, Free-
dom, and one of Lord Glasgow's Young Melbourne colts,
the last three being "dark," and "backward" besides, espe-
cially Lord Stamford's and Lord Glasgow's colts, both of
which will see a better day, judging from the speed they

exhibited on this occasion. The support awarded to Wol

soy beforehand for the Derby (for which race he was backed
to win a very large stake at 50 to 1) encouraged the book-

makers to accommodate all-corners about the two favourites,

of which Robin Hood (who was ridden by Fordham, owing
to Sir Joseph Hawley requiring Wells) maintained a slight
call to the last; although there was not much to choose
between them, owing to the confident manner in which
Mr. Merry backed Student after the numbers went up. No
excuse was offered for either, nor could one be made, but
the veriest tyro cannot fail to have noticed the improvement

in the appearance of Student (who had likewise the advan-
age of a change of jockeys) since Stockbridge, where he

Looked moist in his coat, and by no means so blooming as
to-day, when he wore the same cloth bandage on his off

fore leg as on his two previous appearances in public.
After the "cracks," the only horse backed for money was
Mount Palatine, but as he had been recently suffering from
a sore back, his chance was soon extinguished. The race
was almost a counterpart of last year's for a certain dis-
tance, so far as the two favourites were concerned, except
that Robin Hood, who made all the running after the first
two hundred yards, required a great deal more riding than
The Duke, consequently Fordham was "at" his horse from
the start, which led to the impression that he was in trouble
all the way; and as Student appeared to be pulling over
him at the top of the hill (to which point Wolsey, Free-
dom, and Lord Glasgow's colt also ran fast), " Mr. Merry
wins" became the general chorus. In making the descent,
however, Edwards had his work to do to keep his horse
straight, and Student swerving precisely as Liddington
did last year half-way down, his fate was sealed, as
Fordham did not wait for Edwards to gather his horse
together, nor could the latter " come again" as the
game son of Orlando did ; and Robin Hood improving
the further he went, won in gallant style by two lengths.
The Chesterfield brought out a larger field than was ex-
pected, the whole of the 11 coloured going to the post, ex-
cept New Victoria. The public horses comprised Jack in
the Green, Chapel Royal, Proserpine, Plutus, Dalesman,
and The Student, only the latter of whom carried a penalty,
one of 71b. for his Stockbridge dead heat ; whilst the "dark"
lot consisted of one of Lord Glasgow's Rapid Rhone family,
Countess Amy, by St. Albans out of Cantine (who won this
race in 1858), Claverhouse, by Skirmisher out of Amy
Scott (very backward), and Valeria, by Newcastle out of
Emily, a clover, short-legged, strong filly, and a most
favourable specimen of her sire's progeny, but rather back-
ivard in preparation. She was fancied a good deal by Lord
Stamford, nevertheless, though his lordship was somewhat
doubtful as to her quite getting home, from the cause
assigned; and after Student, Dalesman, and Jack in the
Green, Valeria was backed for more money than anything,
although Plutus (who was ridden by Hunter, in conse-
quence of Grimshaw's accident the day before) had nomi-
nally a shade the call in price. When the numbers went
up, as little as 2 to 1 was at first taken about Student, but at
the break-up of the Rirm 4 to 1 was offered on the field.
Jack in the Green and Dalesman had strong parties, but
the former left off with the decided call of the Baron's
good-looking colt, in spite of the " whisper" that the latter
had improved so much since Ascot as to justify a large
outlay on him at 40 to 1 for the Derby before the race ;
five points less at the same time being taken about "Jack,"
whose forward running with Robin Hood and Student in
the Troy Stakes was not overlooked. How true that form
was the result testified, for though the Duke's colt finished
nearer to Student than at Stockbridge, it must not be for-
gotten that he had 71b extra here, which he carried as
gallantly up the severe finish of the Chesterfield course as
his predecessor, Liddington, did last year. He won so very
easily, in fact, that there were plenty of offers to take 20
to 1 about the winner for the Derby afterwards. Jack in
the Green is certain to see a better day ; and so will
Dalesman, Plutus, and Lord Glasgow's colt, who, though
outpaced at starting, showed staying powers of no
moan order by finishing third, in front of the
speedy lot, consisting of Proserpine, Valeria, &c.
Scarcely any betting took place on future events, with the
exception of a strong demonstration being made against
,FILLE DE L'AIR for the Goodwood Cup. At one time as
much as 12 to 1 was laid against the French filly. The
Goodwood Stakes during the week was scarcely men-
tioned. CLAREMONT still holds the position of first favou-
rite ; but the stable at the present time have not backed
him for a penny, and it is just on the cards that at the
eleventh hour they may turn round and support AURICULA,
who is actually "thrown in." There are several small
meetings this week, viz., Abingdom, Hungerford, and
Stamford ; but, as there are so many horses engaged at the
different meetings, it would be wise to know that they
have arrived before investing on any of them. At Abing-
don QUEEN OF TRUMPS ought to win the Trial Stakes.
The Berkshire Stakes Mr. Brayley should win with which-
ever he trusts, ENDSLEIGR or PELIOS. The Burghley
Handicap MOOSE should win, unless he is in reserve for the
Goodwood Stakes. In his absence HELEN will be most
worthy of support. SIBERIA, if she is pulled out, will win
both the Stamford St. Leger and the Sixth Wothorpe
Biennial. • A FRESH MAN.

RECENT WILLS AND BEQUESTS.

(From the Illustrated London Nays)
The will of Gen. Sir William Tuyll, K.C.H. of
her Majesty's Army, Colonel 7th Hussars, has been
proved in her Majesty's' Court. He also held the
title of Baron Van Tuyll Van Scrooskerken, was
originally in the Dutch army, had served in the
Peninsula, and had held a command in India. He
was domiciled in London, but temporarily residing
in the Hague, Holland, where he died, possessed of
property
in England which was sworn under £2,000
personalty, and probate granted to his relict, the
executrix, for life. The will, dated 1859, is trans-
lated from the Dutch. The gallant general was up-
wards of 80 years of age, and his commission as
full general in the British Army bears date the
20th June, 1854. By his will he confirms his
marriage settlement, and leaves the usufruct of
inheritance to his wife for life, appointing as
residuary legatees his sister, the Do arager
Van der Carpellen, and the issue of his two
deceased brothers, in three equal shares. The family
portraits and paintings are to go with the Castle of
Zuylen, except the portraits of his parents, which
upon his wife's decease, he leaves to his said sister.
He has left to his nephew, Baron Van Tuyll Van
Scrooskerken, an estate at Zuylen, for the benefit
of the Bewaar School to be opened for children of
all persuasions. He bequeaths to the Protestant
poor of Hague, Webrooke, and Zuylen, to each
parish, 1,000-guilders, and the like sum to the Roman
Catholic poor of Zuylen and Maarson ; and legacies
to all his domestics and labourers on his estate.

The will of John George Phillimore, Esq., Q.C.
of Shiplako 'House, near Henley-on-Thames, and
Old-square, Lincoln's-inn, was administered to in
the London Court, by his relict, Rosalind Margaret,
daughter of Lord Justice Knight Bruce, the resi-
duary legatee, and is as follows, and in his own
handwriting :—" This is the last will and testament
of me, John George Phillimore. I give all over
which I have any disposing power, with the exception
of the edition of Clarendon given to my father by the
University of Oxford, to my dear wife; and I ap-
point her sole guardian of my son, not doubting
that she will take care that he has a classical and
learned education. And I leave to my son, as an
heirloom, the Clarendon I have mentioned above,
with my blessing. Dated June 19, 1859." The
personalty was sworn under £2,000. The learned
counsel was called to the bar at Lincoln's-inn, 1832 ;
appointed Recorder on Constitutional Law and
Legal History to the Inns of Court, 1853 ; and was
M.P. for Leominster 1852-7 ; and died at the age
of fifty-six.
