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 tho two "cracks," the
field consisted of Mount Palatine, Sealskin, Wolsey, Free-
dom, and one of Lord Glasgow's Young Melbourne colt;
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-
sey 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-comers about the two favourite;
of which Robin Hood (who was ridden by Fordham, owing
to SirJosoph 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-
tage 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 us 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, Proserpina, 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 Cantina (who won this
race in 1858), Claverhouse, by Skirmisher out of Amy
Scott (very backward), and Valeria, by Newcastle out of
Emily, a clever, short-legged, strong filly, and a most
favourable specimen of her sire's progeny, but rather back-
ward 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 Ring 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 ak 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
mean 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 V.A.in 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 eve 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 meeting; it would be wise to know that they
have arrived before investing on any of them. At Abing-
don QUEEN OF Tamers ought to win the Trial Stakes.
The Berkshire Stakes Mr. Bray ley should win with which-
ever ho trusts, &mu-wart 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.
