eening he returned home, and, being under the in-
°Fnce of wine, created the disturbance complained
and was eventually given in charge.

SPORTING NOTES.

SPORT AT STAMFORD.
~The Stamford meeting has attained only a limited
Zi—Pularity which is scarcely commensurate with its
"efts. Its stakes are rich and somewhat attractive,
411.(1 its management in every department is unexception-
able. Under the immediate superintendence and
ag of the prime promoter of the gathering—the
ratron-
'.arquis of Exeter—the sport is invariably conducted
On the soundest principles of honour and fair-play,
tnel, if the supply be at times rather scanty, it
▪ always sufficient to occasion active speculation, and to
give profitable employment to the book-makers.
To-morrow is the opening day. The programme
contains five items, one of which, the Stamford Oaks,
did not fill.
Fourteen have accepted for the Burghley Stakes, but
scarcely a moiety of that number will bo found at the
starting post. At present Pancake has almost entirely
engrossedrossed what little betting the " event" has occasioned.
, e
is " in" on favourable terms, and the partiality of
her backers is fully justified by the comparative light-
ness of her weight, and her performances during the
current season. Retail bas also attracted some attention,
but ho is too uncertain a horse, and his disposition too
roguish, to induce me to place
confidence in his chance.
Dawson is again " dangerous" with Chief Justice, Red
Lion, and Galvanism • ReldoLt Lion will, perhaps, be his
most intended. The Hero is favourablyinyhhehadnedfeiaetaepcfehdis,
and remembering the easy style
opponents for the Willoughby at Warwick, I shall, if
his party be " on," reserve him for a cockboat. The
winner, I anticipate, will be either Red Lion or Pan-
cake.
Of the three nominations to the 20 sous. Sweepstakes,
two belong to Lord Exeter, in whose favour the race
will, perhaps, result.
Should Pelion and Dove meet for the Stamford St.
Leger, the encounter will be somewhat interesting. To
l'elion would doubtless be awarded the palm of superio_
titY• If, however, he should be found wanting, Dove
may achieve the victory.
From the fifteen horses entered for the Handicap Plate
I shall select Nonsuch, Cock Pheasant, and the Har-
41nny filly against the field.
The sport on Wednesday will be far more interesting
Bald attractive than that on the preceding day.
Know-
ing little respecting the capabilities of the majority of
the animals nominated for the 15 Sovs. Sweepstakes,i
a, 11l compelled to anticipate the success of so bad a pub-
lic Performer as Bridesmaid.
The conditions of the Stewards' Plate are framed from
those of a similar stake at Stockbridge. This event has
obtained thirty-one subscribers, and among the entries
figure the names of our principal turf celebrities. Lord
Exeter's chance of carrying oft the prize with either Cob-
nut or Ilex is very formidable ; Cobnut, however, may
be reserved for his engagements at Goodwood and Don-
caster. Kingston's starting is somewhat uncertain,
should he, however, go to the post, I shall be prepared
to see him achieve the victory. Pelion, too, must not
be slightingly regarded. Should the three start, I shall
expect the foremost places in the race to be occupied by
Kingston, Pelion, and Ilex.
Mary and Dove are most entitled to consideration for
the, Assembly Room Stakes, and the Gold Cup will, per.
"Ps, be added to the number of Lord Exeter's tur:
trophies by Nutpecker.
July is.
