SPORTING NOTES.
No. XIII.
" Say from whence
You owe this strange intelligence ? Or why,
Upon this heath, you stop our way,
With such prophetic greeting ?"
Macbeth, Act 1, Scpe 3.
" I and my Mows
Are ministers of Fate."

Tempest, Act 3, Scene 3.
" We have our eyes upon them, and their deeds
Come to us on the wind." W.
" This, with the history of the times deceased :
The which observed, a man may prophecy,
With a near aim, of the main chance of things
As yet not come to life; which in their seeds
And weak beginnings lie intreasured.
Such things become tha hatch and brood of time;
And, by the necessary form of this,
I might create a perfect guess."
King Henry IV., Act 3, Scene 1.
" And if Dame Fortune fails us now the winner,
Oh, all ye gods above! the devil's in her."
HAratY CAREY.
" Morn epos her eye; rock, valley, mount, and stream
Wi! h smile of gladness hail the welcome beam.

His strength renew'd, to Tun life's maeasurM span,
Again from slumber bounds exhulting man."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,—" Morn opes her eye " w:.th every prospect of
fine, but cold weather for the visitants of Newmarket
Heath, which will be much to the satisfaction of that per-
severing and enterprising community—Republic—Club,
yclept, The Ring; but not much so to the sporting
portion of that many-headed monster—the public!
who no doubt prefer the warmer attractions
of " the village," to the braving the bleak winds of the
Heath; the programme is not quite up to the mark,
therefore, with the exception of to-morrow, I presume
the attendance will be small.
Before this " note" appears in print to-day's races will
be recorded in the annals of the past; Clarissa will have
won the 50 sovs. stakes, beating Midia and the Nob filly;
Sobraon the 300 sovs. stakes; Lord Orford's Fire King,
or Mandane colt, the 300 sovs. stakes, A.F.; Tadmor or
Quinine, the Triennial Post Match (this match of Col.
Peel's is the sire of the numerous Triennial Stakes now
in existence); and Surplice the 1,000 sovs. stakes.
To-morrow, big with the fate of thousands (of pounds),
and the gift of the Grand Duke Cesarewitch, as well as
of the richest stake of the meeting, well named the
Royal Stakes, will, of course, be the " field day" of the
week. _ _

The Royal Stakes, value clear to the winner,
about 1,420/, will, I fancy, bo contested for by Fire-
King, Champion, or the Flapper, Tancred or Macaw,
Stanton, and the Ilinda colt. I should place them in the
following order:—
Fire King „„
Stanton
Champion
Hinds colt ...
Tancred or Macaw

... (Rogers) 1
... (Marlow) 2
... (Butler) 3
... (Nat) 4

The Cesarewitch Stakes, a free handicap of 25 so's.
each, 15 ft., with 300 added, will, I opine, attract a field
of from twenty to two dozen to the post, to be selected
from the following:—

Those marked with an asterisk are doubtful starters.

- -
From the four years old and upward class, I should
take the Bride of Lammermoor and Glen Saddel to beat
the rest. The three years old this year are in immense
force, and I have but little doubt they will bag the Ce-
sarewitch; from this latter class I shall select Lady Eve-
lyn, -Vatican, Bire•Eater, St. Rosolia, Glenalvon, Raby,
and The Flapper as superior to the remainder; and if I
throw out Lady Evelyn as being over weighted, The
Flapper and St. Rosolia as dubious starters, and Fire-
Eater as being, according to public running, at his pre•
sent weight a pound or two inferior to Glenalvon, with
the remaining team of four, I think I may steer " the
horses of The Sun victorious o'er the course," placing
them, in my opinion, thus:—
Glenalvon 1
