NOTES ON NOTTINGHAM.

To institute odious comparisons between Stamford
and Nottingham would be unfair. Without preface,
therefore, I will briefly direct attention to the han-
dicaps to be decided at the latter place on Thursday.
The Nottinghamshire Handicap numbers twenty-nine
acceptances. Of the lot, my "fancy" points to Little
Jack, Lord Lieutenant, and Audubon ; should Bardolph
and Musician start, however, their chances must not be
slightingly regarded. The Sherwood Handicap will, I
anticipate, be won by either Agis or Sir Robert ; and
for the Castle Handicap I at present see nothing more
formidable than Lady Agnes and Luxurious.

A FRESH MAN.

Peterborough, Tuesday Night.

hospitality at Burghley-house. The sport was only of
a very moderate charater.
