SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. I 2200

SPORTING NOTES.—No. CCCCXVII.
I must apologise for the non-appearance of .my usual
comments on the racing of Tuesday and yesterday ' • my
excuse is the crowded state of the columns of The Sun,
from the heavy debates in the House of Commons. I
take the present opportunity of glancing at the past
running of the week, and attempt to show how far it
reflects upon certain stakes at present surrounded by
clouds of doubt.
Captain Lane opened the game on Monday by win-
ning the D.M. Sweepstakes in a canter with his slashing
son of Epirus, Ephesus.
The 50 Soy. Stakes A.F. was just won out of the fire
by Alamode, a head only separating him and Diomedia ;
and Cobnut, with 71b more than the filly, and 31b more
than the colt only beaten a neck for second place. This
running was• proved very true by the same animals
meeting yesterday, but at slightly different weights,
Diomedia receiving this time 61b from Alamode, in lieu
of the 41b—the difference on Monday. This 21b turned
the scale, and enabled Diomedia to beat her former con-
queror, Alamode. Mr. Payne's Derby animal, Speed
the Plough, had also to succumb, and was unable to
obtain anything more than a first-rate third place. The
ring betted 3 to 1 on him.
The only race requiring observation on Tuesday is the
2,000 Guinea Stakes. It was won with tolerable ease by
West Australian, but Sittingbourne being within half a
length of him, and having done comparatively little
work lately, spoils the look of the performance in a great
measure. Orinoco's trial, like many of the extraor-
dinary ones, has turned out to be anything but the true
one it was supposed to be, for the horse never had a st".
chance in any part of the race, and was beaten away 20
many lengths from the winner. His chance for the st.
Derby is gone. The sime may be said of Barbatus, 15
Mr. Sykes, and poor Filbert, who is pretty nearly run
off his legs.
In my earliest remarks concerning the guineas in No. 6
368 of the Sporting Notes published on the first of Feb-
ruary, in addition to giving, with the exception of Las- gi
celles, all the horses that started, I said "West Australian 7,
is doing good work ; and so admirably suited to the 6;
Rowley Mile Course is he that he will be at A I or
thereabouts on the day. Sittingbourne looks and goes GA
uncommonly well. He ought to be in the vicinity, if 10
not the occupant, of the second place. Barbatus will 20
run respectably." By this it will be seen that I accom-
plished the rather difficult task, three months before the St.
race, of not only naming the field that started, with the
one exception before-mentioned, but also plciced the first '
and second horses, and also may be considered to have st.
named the third, having confined my observations en- st.
tirely to the three.
In my latest remarks, published on Monday, I stated, 6i
" Mr. Bowes's West Australian, in my opinion, will
prove himself to be the best mile horse of his year ; I 50
entertain little or no doubt about his capability of
winning this stake." With respect to Sittingbourne, I St.
looked upon him, at the last, as a very doubtful starter
16
on account of the little work he had done of late ; but st.
observed, that if he should run, notwithstanding his st.
want of preparation, he would be " quite capable of run
ning into the third place." St.
Speed the Plough's defeat yesterday, of course has 50
settled his Derby chance.
The result of the Guineas has not induced me to St.
change my Derby selection in the least. I still think 50
that Orestes and Pharos are good enough between them
to secure the first place ; and that the crack, West 12
Australian, and the outsider, the Queen colt, are the 12,
only opponents they have to fear.
,The field for the Newmarket Stakes, which is run 25
over the P.M. will, I believe, be composed of the fol-
lowing :—William Rufus, Filbert, Stone Plover, Orinoco 10
and North Pole—perhaps both—and Rataplan. The 6
result, I anticipate, will be entirely confined to Mr. 12
Stanley's starter and Rataplan ; the latter, if quite up
to the mark, undoubtedly the winner. Filbert and st
William Rufus, I expect, will be third and fourth. St.
The match between Duke of Bedford's Diomedia, Bst
71b, and Lord Glasgow's filly, by Don John out of Con- 3.0
spiracy, who has received the name of Coalition, 7st 20
111 b, if not compromised, I almost fancy will be won 5
by the latter. 2
The match between Hesperus, Bst 71b, and Hothorpe,
7st 91b, over the first half of the Ab. M. is, in my St
opinion, so closely balanced that, whoever wins, I fancy -Bu
St.
it will be by a head or neck, and that the Dukes ani-
mal will be the one to seize the Hesperian fruit. 15
Before I conclude this note, a word or two on the 8
monster meeting at Chester next week. I will attempt
to indicate a few of the horses that will carry the cash, 10
and be about the mark for several of the principal
stakes. The top weights in the Palatine Stakes de- 10
cidedly have the best of it. It seems we are to have the 25
Deformed from Ireland—who comes over with a first- 16
class reputation ; and to her, Mistletoe, and Exact, it 10
is to be presumed the three first places will fall,
20
The starting of RUBY for the Mostyn Stakes is very
5
questionable. If he runs, he wins ! St.
The Chesterfield Stakes will not improbably be carried
off by JACQUELINE, the Dandy and Charming Woman 17
running forward. 25
The celebrated Chester Cup looks uncommonly well
for Mr. Parr's Trifle or The Lord-Lieutenant.
It is almost impossible to give the winner of the Dee
Stakes at the present time, as I have not been able to —lO
ascertain any particulars with respect to the starting of 5
three or four very important animals who figure among 20
the entries. Feversham and Sittingbourne are reported 20
non-starters, but about the starting of Sylphine I have 20
not learnt anything decisive. William Rufus runs, I 20
believe, as does Orinoco. Dupe's starting is doubtful. 20
Mayfair, it is said, will represent Fisher's stable. lam 5
quite in the dark at present as to whether Lord Cale- 20
don's brother to Shylock is going ; and being in such a 20
tremendous mist, I had better close this communication. 5

SHEFFIELD.—Letters from Sheffield state the demand
for the manufactures of that place to be unprecedented,
and that the only drawback to the general prosperity is
to be found in the imprudence of the operatives. " Un-
fortunately," it is said, " our workmen, as usual, throw
away the opportunity offered by so great a demand for
goods at advanced rates of labour. At the present time
there are in the town orders for twice the number of
articles that can be made, but the men only work on the
average three days a week." It is added that there
never was greater difficulty in executing commissions of
all kinds.

NORTH LINCOLNSHIRE LIBERAL ASSOCIATION. -On
Monday, the 25th inst., a large meeting of the leading
liberals of North Lincolnshire was held at the Corn
Exchange, Lincoln. The Hon. W. J. Monson, in the
chair. Among those present we observed the Lord
Worsley, the Hon. Sir H. Dymoke, Bart. ; W. Hutton,
Esq. ; W. Cracroft, Esq., &c., when it was unanimously
resolved to bring forward two Liberal candidates to re-
place the ..present members for the division at the next
election. Subscriptions were announced for that pur-
pose, local committees in connection with the North
Lincolnshire Liberal Association having been already
formed in all the principal towns in the division. The
greatest enthusiasm prevailed, several resolutions were
proposed and carried, and after an unanimous vote of
thauko
to the chairman, the meeting separated.
