ALL SORTS.

The Cannobie case, and the severe comments which
have been made on it, are calculated to exercise a per-
nicious influence on the Turf. The high social position
of the gentlemen who sat in judgment on that case pre-
clude the idea that they would designedly record an un-
just decision, yet if the representations which have been
made to me be true both justice and plain-dealing have
been daringly defied by the disqualiication of Saraband
for the Burwell Stakes.. Evidence of a most conclusive
character was, perhaps, placed before the Stewards, and,
if this supposition be correct, why not place the full par-
ticulars before the public People dislike the Star
Chamber practice adopted by the Jockey Club, and re-
gard with suspicion the secrecy which is maintained in
dealing with disputed cases. At the instance of Mr.
Howard, who is part proprietor of Saraband, Mr. Pedley
served the stakeholder with a notice not to pay over the
stakes to the owner of Cannobie, and it is therefore pro-
bable that the requisite " disclosures " will be made in
a court of law.

Much diversity of opinion exists with regard to Can.
nnbie's running for the Burwell Stakes, some persons
maintaining that the horse tired on ascending the hill,
and others that he would have won easily enough had
his rider possessed the poser and the tact to get him
out. To this latter opinion lam inclined to subscribe,
and I have no hesitation in recording my conviction
that the one that. can beat him can win the Derby.
Turfites were somewhat startled from their propriety
last week by a rumour to the effect that bath Yellow
Jack and The Coroner had been sold for 12,0001., with
certain cor tiogencies. The report Will not without foul).
dation, and although the horses are likely to remain at
Findon until after the Derby, it it not improbable that
the bargain is already concluded, and that the horses
are now the property of Mr. C. H. Carew. The sale
has exercised a depressing effect upon both Yellow Jack
and The Coroner, people being disinclined to back them
until the uncertainty with which they are,at present
surrounded is removed. Wentworth has steadily risen
in favour ; he has cleared out the whole lot of the Dane.
bury yo,ungsters. At least such is the report. Fly-by.
Night seems quite gone, and no hopes are entertained
that he will "come again." People, therefore, are
growing sweet on Sugar Plum, a fine bright chesnnt ;
but in my opinion he is only introduced into the market
for timeserving, money-getting motives.

Metropolitan sportsmen are already en route to York,
where, if the promise which the programme contains be
fulfilled, the sport will be sufficiently interesting to
compensate them for their long and tedious journey.
Saunterer will be " put upori his mettle" to defeat the
opponents likely to be brought against him for the Zet-
land Stakes. From the spice of his quality which he
gave us at Doncaster, however, I am induced to antici-
pate his success. Should he be beaten, eitker Mag-
nifier or Madame Clicquot may be the winner.
One Act has been freely backed for both the Great
Northern and Chester Cup. I, however, would rather
watch the boiling of the Woodyate's " pots" than assist
to stir them. Fandango has proved himself a race-
horse of first-class pretensions, and I shall couple him
with The Earl to represent my interest.
From the fifty-two nominations for the Londesborough
Cup, I shall select Hospodar, Bourgeoise, Berezina, and
Ghika.

Should report be true, and Ellington be brought out
for the Biennial Stakes for three-yr-olds, I shall expect
him to achieve an easy victory. If, however, he be in-
capable of pulling through, or should he even win in a
slovenly manner, few people will afterwards be inclined
to " stand him" for the Derby.

Unless the dark division contain a "flyer" I see
nothing to beat Red White and Blue and Apathy for the
Biennial Stakes for two-yr•olds.

llzel►a is Laid to be a " rara good thing" for The Flying
Dutchman's Handicap. I shall not express an opinion
on the event, because the result will be regulated by to-

morrow's racing.

The Malton Meeting, as usual, will form an agreeable
" pendant" to the gathering at York, and many persons
will be induced to assist at its celebration in order to
obtain an opp-irtunity of taking stock of the Whitewall
horses. Marmion will, perhaps, win the Two-yr-old
Stakes. Cossey or Bracken may carry off the Malton
Handicap. It would be absurd to make a guess at the
result of the other events.

The betting, which took place at intervals, showed
that Fly-by-Night was close upon the vanishing point
for both the Two Thousand and the Derby. The odds
quoted against Wentworth, the leading favourite for the
latter event, were taken to fully 3001. I,oo'o t• 200
was booked about Ellington, but 11 to 2 was afterwards
obtainable. 7to 1 was taken and afterwards currently
offered about Cannobie. 100 to 14 was laid once. Sugar
Plum advanced to 1,000 to 80, odds which were also
taken about Mr. Verdant Green. Further comment is
unnecessary.
