SPORTING NOTES;
No. XXXIII.

SCRAPS FROM NEWMARKET, WITH A GLANCE AT

MALTON.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sra,—The events decided on the Heath yesterday
bore but lightly on their relatives in the womb of time,
the only races requiring notice being those for the
Claret and 50 Sovs. Stakes. For the former, as I pre-
dicted, Nutshell beat the misnamed William the Con-
queror easily; and for the latter, Lord Exeter's Rein-
deer, Bst 11b, beat Hurry-Scurry, 7st 101 b, cleverly;
Christina, 7st bib, beaten off. The betting on the
Heath bore some resemblance to that in town yesterday
morning, but, on the wholo, was more pregnant with
change. For the Chester Cup it was a race for the
premiership between Rhesus, Black Doctor, and Mon-
tague, 10 to 1 being the figure of each; Russ-
borough came with a rush, and left off at 17 to
1; Woolwich, Knight of Avenel, The Italian, and
several of the outsiders were much talked about, but
little or nothing done. The 2,000 Guineas betting was
remarkable for the decline of Grecian to 6 to 4, and of
the Mountain Sylph colt to 5 to 1; Newminster steady
at 4 to 1, takers; and several inquiries after Confessor
and Balsamo, but no price named. Grecian looks un-
commonly unsteady for the Derby; and, on the other
hand, The Prime Minister, Teddington, Marlboro' Buck,
and Newminster rule very steady, at the respective odds
of 6,8, 12, and 13 to 1. The race for the Port Stakes
to-day, although said to sport four starters, will be be-
tween the stables of Kent and Fobert, and ought to be
won by the former; but, as I remarked yesterday, " it
would not surprise me to find The Knight the winner!"
Should he accomplish the task satisfactorily, look to lam
for the " Coop" of Chester, for be and The Italian, in
the absence of Lady Evelyn, I should hold especially
dangerous, more so than any other of the present fa-
vourites, always excepting the game old Woolwich.
Melton puts forth its solitary claim to the attention of
the sporting world next(Tuesday and Wednesday) week.
It boasts a very respectable " bill of fare " for a second-
rate provincial meeting, consisting of three good stakes
each day, independent of some smaller fry. Scott will
walk off with the Two Years Old Stakes; most probably
with the Hetman Platoff filly ; the King of Trumps
reads the next best on paper. There is also entered for
this stake—l give it on the authority of a clever fisher
in the stream of judgment—a candidate for Derby honours
next year with superior pretensions, to wit, Hyacinth,
by Bay Middleton, out of Snowdrop, who, I presume, will
not be pulled out for such a trivial stake as this. The
Malton Handicap seems destined to fall, like the former
stake, into the clutches of the great Melton Stable, pos-
sibly with Presto, 3 yrs, sst 71b, or Mulgrave, 4 yrs, 7st
51b. Unity, 3 yrs, 6st 31b, is considered their principal
opponent, but I cannot perceive bow this mare is to give
Presto 101bs, or the Little Fawn 171bs, and receive but
161bs for the year of Mulgrave; she *zay do the deed,
but if she does bhe's a clipper, and no mistake, at least
for a handicap. I presume Nancy will carry " The
Claret" off for Mr. Lister. The Convivial Handicap
will probably lay between the Exotic filly, 4 yrs, 7st 61b,
Madame Wharton, 3 yrs, sst 21b, and the colt by Prince
Caradoc; Madame for choice.

The Tallyho Handicap and Walham Cup are for gen-
tlemen riders, and therefore not touchable by your hum-
ble servant. The following is the state of the market
this morning up to 12 o'clock:—Malton Handicap-4 to
1 agst Presto; 9to 2 agst Unity. Convivial Handicap
—3 to 1 agst colt by Prince Caradoc. 2,000 Guineas-
-7 to 4 agst Grecian, 7 to 2 agst Newminster, 5 to 1
agst Mountain Sylph colt, Bto 1 agst Confessor. 1,000
Guineas-5 to 2 agst Iris. Chester Cap-10 to lon
the field, 15 to 1 each, The Knight of Avenel, Russbo-
rough, and The Italian. Derby-13 to 2 'agst The
Prime Minister, Bto 1 each Teddington and Grecian,
the latter offered; 13 to 1 agst Marlborough Buck, 14 to
1 agst Newminster, 18 to 1 agst Constellation; no price
quoted agst Mountain Sylph colt, but 16 to 1 might
have been had to a sum! Oaks-6 to 1 agst Payment;
7 to 1 agst Iris; 8 to 1 agst Aphrodite.
I am, Sir, yours, &c.,
