SPORTING NOTES.

THE CESAREWITCH CHANCES.

On Saturday Muscovite was again steadily reinstated in
the position which ho had two or three days before occupied
in the betting with seeming uncertainty. The movement
which caused his temporary retrogression is attributed to
various causes, some of which may be traced to pre-
judice, some to honest dislike and conviction. The
Newmarket touts seemingly do not complain that
he has not done work enough, but that he has done
too much, and among other defects he is described as being
lame, and possessing the queerest of queer looks. To the faith
with which their opinion was received may bo attributed
the show of hostility which the opponents of Muscovite
made. The partisans of the horse, however, evidently
harden in confidence, and declare, without hesitation, that
he will " come in alone." Indeed, in the fulness oetheir
faith, they assert that he has a "stone in hand." Old John
Day's authority, too, confirms this belief, for it is said that
" Honest John," in consideration of Muscovite's running
with Virago for the Metropolitan, entertains a high
opinion of the horse's racing ability.
The opposition which is in certain quarters directed
against Muscovite seems to be partly founded on prejudice;
but although I cannot subscribe to the statement set forth
by the most sanguine of his adherents that no horse in Eng-
land can give him weight and a beating, yet I believe him to
be an animal of much racing superiority. The comparative
mediocre character of the horses likely to be arrayed against
him affords .a sufficient reason for placing trust in his pre-
tensions. He went a rattling gallop this morning, on the
Lime Kilns, and his owner for a short distance
rode alongside him, and seemed pleased with
the horse's style of going. He made signals for the lad on
Muscovite to pull up, after going a certain distance, but
the lad either did not see them, or was unable to obey
them, and Muscovite was upwards of 100 yards in advance
of Scarecrow, who was galloping with him, when he
was stopped. Some people, however, appear to regard
this proceeding with suspicion, and declare, with a know-
ing look, that the desire to "show him off" was too patent.
Rodomeli was tried yesterday with Poodle, and some-
thing belonging to Mr. Mare. Poodle, it is said,
gave Rodomeli 7lbs, and was beaten without an effort.
Now, Rodomeli ought to be capable of figuring
,among
the leading competitors, if he possesses ability
only slightly superior to that of an Epping Plater—
He, however, has yet displayed no racing power, and in-
deed all manner of bad things are said of him. One person
asserts that he cannot beat a man, another that he cannot
go four miles an hour unless carried in a van, whilst York-
shire Jack scornfully declares that he could not win if be
were to start with only a " fonrpenny bit and a railway
ticket tied to his tail." The Newmarket people are evi-
dently disappointed in their expectations of Poodle, who
was once warmly fancied by them. Lord Clifdenehxapsechtaad.
a long run of ill-luck, and all persons would rejoice to see
his colours triumphant on Tuesday, but this greatly-to-be-
desired consummation will not, I opine, be effected. By
the way, Alembic is dead, a horse which, in the First Oc-
tober Meeting, seemed to be " running into form," and of
whose chance for the Cambridgeshire sanguine
tions were entertained.
To account for the declension of Rattle in the betting is
somewhat difficult. On Saturday he was quite friendless.
Still it is reported that he was tried with certain horses
belonging to J. M. Stanley, Esq., and won in a canter !
The distance will, however, I believe, be beyond his
ability to compass succesfully. The rumour which was
circulated to the effect that Rattle had been purchased by
Mr. J. M. Stanley, is, I am informed, unfounded. He
belongs to Mr. Paul Dennett, and is under the care of that
gentleman's private trainer, Roe.
D. 0. looks well and goes well ; and is much fancied by
the "little men" of the ring. He is a small, cob-like,
albeit a compact animal, with a long back. I rust
honestly confess that I entertain no great partiality for
him. La Belle, on the contrary, has attractions for me,
and despite her performances, I shall place some faith in
her pretensions. Her party are, in earnest with her, and
when determined, Dawson is invariably " dangerous."
La Belle was backed at the Corner on Saturday, for nearly
3001., at 12 to 1.
Cobnut is slow, but is sire to run well ; Barrel is not
in force; and with, them go the hopes of their party. Scherz
is lame.
Of Indian Warrior, I can collect no trustworthy infor-
mation ; but should he go fit and well to the post, I shall
expect to see him run very forward. His usual ill-luck,
however, may, after all, only bring him into the second
place. Of the other old Funs, Hungerford and Ethel-
wolf are, perhaps, most entitled to notice. Hunger.
ford was severely worked at the, commencement of the
season in "schooling" Middlesex and King Tom, and
when brought out in public he appeared stale and used
up. He has, however, had an interval of rest, and has
doubtless benefited by it. At Warwick he ran respec-
tably, and at York he showed an additional improvement
in form. Bracken is talked about, but I fancy the weight
will be too heavy for him. By the way, Kohinoor galloped
this morning, and the report as to his breaking down is,
I believe, incorrect. I shall not further occupy space by
printing the uninteresting notes which I have made
respecting the other animals likely to muster at the post.
Before stating the conclusions at which I have arrived as
to the probable result of the race, I will place before the
reader a list of

Without entering into an elabefato criticism of the com-
parative chances, I have limited my remarks to the rumours
and opinions which generally obtain. I shall now at once
state my deliberate conviction that the race will result in
favour of either
.MUSCOVITE OR LA BELLE.
Should these animals be destined to defeat, and were the
