SPORTING NOTES.

EGHAINI RACES.

On Saturday I briefly touched upon the probable re-
sult of the races to be decided at Wolverhampton. I
will now direct attention to ,114 E) sport which will t tke
place at Egham on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Sixteen two-year-olds are nominated for the King
John Stakes. The withdrawal of Border Chief -will
doubtless enable Saucebox to pull through. Should
Mouser he actually intended, I shall deem her capable
of winning the Surrey and Middlesex Stakes, but at
present I inclined to entertain a favourable opinion
of Sleeping Partner's chance.
The trainer of Jouvence has complained, and with
good reason, of the weight that has been most unfairly
placed upon this mare. Jouvence is handicaped at
Bst 101 b ; the " lot" entered must be bad, indeed, when
she is deemed the best. Her impost was certainly not
made in aocorda, ice with the principles of fair-play, and
it is calculated to induce people to impugn either the
judgment or impartiality of the handicapper. Allington,
Thrush, and Protest seem entitled to consideration.
The Magna Charta Stakes I assign to Saucebox. The
Miami filly will, doubtless, be capable of winning the
Racing Stakes.

lat now preparing to start for Wolverhampto ),
where there's mettle more attractive than at Egham.
The brevity of my notes, therefore, will doubtless be
excused. A FRESH MAN.
