SPORTING NOTES.

NOTIONS FROM NEWMARKET.
The commencement of the autumnal campaign at head
quarters was marked by no novel or striking iwcident.
The same characteristics that have distinguish td the
" First October " almost since the establishment of the
meeting were again displayed. The Trial Stakes did not
fill, and although two matches were at the last in oment
compromised, yet the supply of sport was am:pl e and
satisfactory. The racing requires no elaborate ob serva-
tion, and throughout the day no movement was tea de of
sufficient significance to demand explanation.
The first important event decided was the Hopeful
Stakes, which occasioned a most exciting race. Bay
Celia was the winner, notwithstanding her 61bs Rcnalty.
She, however, found little favour with the " rin.i r," the
outlays on her being few and comparatively small.
The principal and most interesting race was, ho"ivever,
that for the Triennial Stakes. Alembic was the rayon-
rite, and up to the time of starting was supported with
unshaken confidence. He, however, only disappt Anted
his backers, his "exhibition" being unaccountaU ly in-
glorious. King Tom won easily, the course suitilt ig his
long, raking stride. Before the race a prejudice had
set in against him, and he had few partisans who, made
their investments on him with an indecision that indi-
cated no encouraging confidence in his chance. This
circumstance is perhaps attributable to a rumour that
was in circulation to the effect that he was " out of
form."

West Australian " cantered over" for the G rand
Duke Michael. Cobnut was, however, weighed for,
and his number displayed on the telegraph board, but
at the last moment a compromise was effected will i his
noble owner. Pending this arrangement, 12, 14,, and
15 to 1 were freely betted on West Australian.
Should Robbie Noble and Adine meet for the Trien-
nial Stakes on Thursday, much interest will be imparted
to the race.

Considering the unsatisfactory running of I Ic.bbie
_Noble during the current season, and other circums ta,nces,
I shall expect Adine to achieve the victory.
Mincemeat is my "liking" for the Rutland Sta k es.
The races decided to-day were precisely in acco n dance
with the opinions expressed in The Sun on Monday In
no one instance was my judgment at fault. My selec-
tions—King Torn and Brother to Mountain Deer- -were
first and second for the Triennial Stakes ; Bay Celia,
who was almost friendless in the "ring," was my pick"
for the Hopeful Stakes, and Acrobat and West Aus ti •alian
I took against all corners for the Grand Duke Michael
and Buckenham Stakes !

A FRESH MIL N.
Newmarket, Tuesday Night.

THE LIVERPOOL AND BRAZILIAN STEAMERS. - • The
South American and General Steam Navigation Com-
pany dispatched the second vessel of their *man 7fleet,
the Olinda, Captain G. Haram, from the Mersey oa t Sa-
turday afternoon, with mails and passengers for the
Brazils and the river Plate. The Olinda took ,o ut a
valuable cargo of fine goods, a small amount of slit ecie,
and about 25 passengers. Mr. Edmund Thompson , of
this town, one of the managing directors of the comp my,
was on board. He goes with her as far as Lisbon. The
mails were put on board by the steam-tug Uncle S. am,
about two o'clock, and shortly before three o'clocl the
Olinda steamed down the river at a rapid rate. . Her
ports of call are Lisbon, Cape Verde, Pernam ace,
Bahia, Rio de Janeiro, and Monte Video, whence her
passengers and mails will be forwarded to Buenos A. yres
by the company's very fast paddle-steamer Arge aqina.
This new line is now fairly in operation, and so fe ti • the
company have faithfully kept their engagement wit t,ib the
public to dispatch a first-class steamer on the 24:1,h of
each month ; and no doubt, if worked in an eff ii ;ient
manner, Government will be induced to enter into a mail
contract with them. The want of more regular anal'. ex-
peditious communication than at present exists bet vt .een
this country and the west coast of South Amer' is ), is
sufficiently notorious to warrant such a step being tz tk en.
The next vessel, the Lusitania, is to sail on Monda, r th•
24th of October.—Liverpood Albion.
