SPORTING NOTES—No. CCCCXXIV.
BATH MEETING.—To-morrow's races commence at
two o'clock, with the City Cup of 100 sovs., added to a
sweepstakes of 10 sovs. each, to start at the Red Post
and go once round—a few yards over two miles and a-
nail- Twenty-one animals are entered for this stake,
but two-thirds or more have very little chance of seeing
the Red Post. Weather age of course, does not run,
nor peggy.
The probability is that AUDUBON, if not
rendered too stale by his exertions this day, will be the
Benner, as none of his opponents seem better adapted to
e course.
The 'Weston Stakes of 10 sovs. each, 50 added, T.Y.C.
--straight half-mile—will be a test of speed and temper
between the Cheshire Marquis, Mouser, Oliver, and
SPinawaY, and it would not surprise me in the least to
ante MOUSER the winner, although Cheshire Marquis and
'(fihyer, both darkies, are held in high estimation by their
friends. Epaminondas is said to be amiss and conse-
celit'Y will not run. Himalaya, who has been backed
Ni some money, is also a non-starter. Pyrrha and
ghtshade are, I believe, also in the same predicament.
The
IDyrham Stakes of 100 sovs each, mile and half,
I,vai!ll obtained thirty-five nominations, and I should say
b Prodiice the laro•est field during the meeting. Russ-
haveinh

live ''OY chance. Old Clothworker stops at home.
kaal:avogue is overdosed at Bst 81b. Cardinal Wise-
Ethel
no lance,c at Bst 71b, together with Stapleton s,
: 13 lanthe's, Abdallah's, and all the middle
Wteg"ts, is very indifferent. Gossip is the first that
p 8 orikes nIY eye in running down the list that seems to

thing in favour of the four year old Harry, or

fortolerably well. To rive at a point, I shall look
kthe winner in GOSSIP ;rand that Katty Darling and
Thena will occupy the next two places I recko!ri upon.
die fourth race on the card is the Aristocratic Han-
hal? hlo sovs. each, h. ft., with 20 added, mile and a
BALL, Tis stake will probably be carried off by WATER-
aIe sweepstakes of 5 sovs. each, with 20 added, in
mtaile heats, will bring the meeting to a conclusion.
