SPORTING NOTES.

_,
The Cambridgeshire Sta_ kes, the last of the great autumn
handicaps, will be decided to-morrow. The field, in all
probability, will be one of the largest that ever contested
the race. From recent market operations, it would appear
that most of the following will face the starter :

Gladiateur has occupied the position of first favourite for
the last week or two. There is no denying the fact that
he is the best three-year-old that has trod the turf for
many a year; but, great horse though he be, it is an utter
impossibility for him to win with the Welter weight of
9st 121 b. Salpinctes, the winner of the Cesarewitch, has
suddenly receded to 100 to 1 offered, without any
cause. It is said that the horse has broken down,
and that the division are going for Ostregor. lam cre-
dibly informed that the horse was never better. How-
ever the owner has scratched him after having served
his purpose. Regalia has too much weight, who I ex-
pect to see beaten by The Duke. Provisor and Garde-
visure have been the two most steady horses in the market.
Ostregor, if better than Salpinctes, must have a chance
second to none. Holstein will likely'iturn out the best of Mr.
Jackson's lot. Baron Rothschild has four engaged. He
will likely run Zephyr and the Calista gelding. The former
carries the same weight as Tomato did last year, when she
made such close race of it with Ackworth, just being de-
feated at the finish by a short head. Sir Joseph Hawley
will start Argonaut and Merry Wife for the off chance.
The latter was fifth for the Cesarewitch, and there
is no better place investment. Custard Castle has
been a ruling favourite ever since the weights ar-
pea,red, but has now received his quietus, by being
sent to the 100 to 1 division. King Charming has
21b. less to carry than he did in his race with Crisis, when
he ran him to a head, and must be in the first flight at the
finish, if he does not actually win. The race, in my opinion,
will be carried off by one of the following lightly-weighted
three-yr-olds, viz., Gardevisure, Provisor, Ostregor, King
Charming, and Holstein. To come to a final decision, 1
shall expect the judge to place—
PROVISOR
OSTREGOR 2

MERRY WIFE or GARDEVISURE 3
A FRESH MAN.
