SPORTING NOTES.—No. CCCLXXXI.

COVENTRY SPRING MEETING.—The frost having
taken its departure, the Coventry Meeting will come off
to-day and Monday. It is, of course, superfluous com-
menting upon to-day's races, as within an hour or so of
the publication of these notes, the telegraphic dispatch
of the issue will have reached London.
The General and Ringleader are considered good
things for the Craven Steeplechase on Monday, and
Friendless is not exactly in the position his name in-
dicates. ,Peter Simple, Abd-el-Kader, Victress, and
Benedict, do not run.
The Hurdle Race, it is presumed, will show Maria
Bennett, Victress, and Tom Gurney in the three first
places.
The Selling Steeple Chase does not close until this
evening.
THE DERBY.—In continuation of my analysis, I shall
now proceed to examine
J. KENT'S
lot at Goodwood. The Duke of Richmond has four
Derby horses at work ; three of whom b c DAGIBERT,
by lon, dam by Langar, out of sister to Cobweb, nomi-
nated by Mr. Cooper' a winner once in three runs, and
a very useful horse ; b c WILLIAM Rufus, by Touch-
stone, out of Duvernay, nominated by Lord Strad-
broke, the defeated of five fields ; and br c by the
Emperor, out of Coral, nominated by Lord Stradbroke,
a loser in the only race he has run—are not worthy of
consideration as they will not figure in the field at
Epsom.
The Duke of Richmond's br c PHAROS, by Touch-
stone, out of Refraction, by Glaucus, out of Prism, by
Camel, out of Elizabeth, by Rainbow, has figured in
public twice ; both times, however, in the vicinity of his
training ground. His first essay was for the Ham
Stakes, which he won very cleverly by a head, beating,
Defiance (second) and nine others. His other perform-
ance was for the Bentinck Memorial Stakes, which he
won by half a length, beating Sittingbourne and four
others. He was first backed for the Derby on the 30th
of July at 25 to 1 ; has been supported very heavily off
and on ever since, and is now quoted at 15 to 1. He is
a compact, racing-like animal, and admirably adapted
for the peculiarities of the Derby course.
T. ESKRETT
- -

of Mitchel Grove, has three Derby animals in prepara-
tion. Mr. Magenis' ch c SANDHURST, by Chatham, out
of Clementina, nominated by Lord Strathmore, has never
run. Is a fairish animal, but will not do for the Derby.
The same remarks will apply to Mr. Magenis' b c
CLAIR DR LUNE, by Lanercost, out of Moonbeam, no-
minated by Mr. Brook.
Mr. Magenis' b c PANTOMIMH, by Lanercost, out of
Burlesque, nominated by Mr. Carew, has run four races,
been defeated. in all, and will not do for Epsom.
