SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

SPORTING NOTES.—No. CCCLXVI.

OTJNDLE STEEPLECHASES.

These steeplechases—got up principally, I believe, by
Messrs. Wright and Francis, of the Talbot and Dolphin
Inns at Oundle—are under the stewardship of the Earl
of Cardigan, Lord Burghersh, and Herbert de Burgh,
Esq. They are three in number. The entries for one,
however,—the Farmers' and Tradesmen's Steeplechase
—have not as yet come to hand. The principal steeple
chase is a Handicap Sweepstakes ofls sous. each, 10 ft.,
&c., and is the first marked for decision to-morrow, to
come off at two o'clock. This race is considered to be
all one way. FOREST LAD being in at lOst 121 b,
without a penalty for his Epsom victory. Trust-me-not
or Proceed, if they were to run, would not, by any
means, stand an inferior chance. This morning both of
them seem to be considered as non-starters.

The Selling Stakes are booked a certainty for Time'
ME-NOT ; and if he is a sure runner he is undoubtedly the
winner.

Last year, in addition to naming the majority of the
winners of flat races, I was lucky enough to select the
winner of the first flat race of the year, and also of the
last. Whether I shall be so successful this year or not,
of course I cannot say ; but I yesterday managed to hit
the mark with Cripple Kate in the first race of this year,
and was very near placing the first three.
Owing to the hurry in which the last notes on the
Derby were put together, a couple of omissions, and a
like number of blunders, were the consequence. Steb•
bing's lot was stated to consist of four instead of talc•
The two omitted were Beverlac and Moscow. The
former was accidentally made to appear as one of Gill's
lot, and the latter was left out altogether. MOS•
cow, the property of Mr. W. Stebbings, nominated
by Mr. H. Mann, is a bay colt by Hetman
toff out of Miss Maria, a smart, compact little
animal, not blessed with the best of legs ; has never
started, and is of no use for the Derby. Overlooking Mr•
H. Stebbings' nomination, PICKATREE, by Picaroon, out
of Royalty, can scarcely be called an omission, as the
brute was never able to stand training, and was sold
some time since to be converted into a hack or hunter;
consequently, anything concerning him must be altoge•
ther devoid of interest.

Accounts from the Curragh report very unfavourably
of the Derby horses at work there. They are four In
number, namely :—Marquis of Waterford's ch. c. .11
Crescent, out of Head and Pluck (Kick-up-the-Dust!
dam), trained by R. Prince ; Mr. Irwin's ch. c. KNIGII'
01 THE THIMBLE, by Mickey Free, out of the Recluse;
trained by P. Doucie, of Rathbride-house ; Mr. CO-
ran's b. g. COGNAC, by Burgundy, out of Kildare Lag'
by Tearaway (h. b.), nominated by Mr. L. Keega,,,of
trained by L. Byrne, of Mountjoy-lodge ; and Mr. C'
St. George's gr. C. BROTHER TO CHANTICLEER, by BIT
catcher, out of Whim, trained by L. Keegan, of Raoul-
ton-lodge. They have all appeared in public, and per-
formed in such manner that a visit to Epsom for the
Derby-day will not be made by any of them.

THE LATE SUSPECTED CHILD MURDER AND Suiolo
AT CAMBERWELL.—Yesterday, Mr. W. Carter, coroner
for East Surrey, proceeded to investigate the circuity"
stances connected with the above horrid affair, COrfr
mencing by holding an inquiry at the MarlborouP
Arms Tavern, Camberwell, touching the death off
newly-born female infant, the offspring of Eliza _
linger, aged only fifteen, lately in the service of Mr.
Cooper, grocer, of No. 3, Clarence-place, Cambervle"
High-street, where the infant was found concealed in 16
cupboard. From the peculiar and extraordinary natull
of the case, great excitement prevailed in the neighbour
hood, each of the inquest rooms being densely crowded'
It will be recollected, from what has already been pub
lished, that upon the discovery of the body of the infant
the girl Pullinger declared the father of the child to be
a man named James David Styles Browne, a bonnet
bleacher, &c., as also owner of some of the wreck°
houses in the locality, and who is stated to be a nepheT:
of two military officers, the one a captain in the ,
Highlanders, and the other a captain in the
army. Browne having asserted that a neighbour naraeti
Blackie had been also intimate with Pullinger, a quail'
ensued, which it is alleged led to his commiting
In the case of the infant, the evidence went to show t'l"-ci,
the child died from natural causes, and the jury return° f
a verdict accordingly ; while, with regard to the case °
the man, the jury found " that the deceased did doll
himself by cutting his throat whilst in a state of men
derangement."

FORTUNATE ESCAPE. —A gentleman well known 0
city circles, having been on a visit on Friday last at ti
country seat of an eminent railway contractor, narrevrlo
escaped destruction from the accidental discharge 0,,,f 0
pistol. His attention was called by the latter to sore
novelty in the manufacture of those weapons, and •i,ts
pointing out the change, as he was unconscious of 111.4
being loaded, he pulled the trigger of one he held in 4:0
hand. The pistol went off, lodging the ball in "
looking-glass, after having passed, in its course, throu;
the breast of his visitor's coat. EXCHANGE NO ROBBERY.—A poor widow woman
,ort
who was returning from her employment at Stec" ,110
with a few shillings, the produce of her week's toil, -ea,
met by two fellows who robbed her of all she posse° to
She implored them to let her have a shilling or twafel-
save her children from starvation, when one of the
Ler
lows, melted by her entreaties, put three
corals inwicecl
hand, and then hastened off. The three 'coins tq.yes
out not to be shillings, but sovereigns, so that the are
were rather the losers by the transaction.
