SPORTING NOTES.

No. CII.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
ElR,—lluving completed my arrangements for the re-
gular supply of intelligence from nearly every quarter
and on nearly every branch of sporting information use-
ful to the turfite, every sporting note for the future will
be in itself a perfect nzultunz in parvo to the racing Mari;
embracing as it will do all toe latest en dits afloat at the
clubs, the principal betting houses, " the Corner," &el'
&c., together with the latest " moves" on the board at
the various seats of action, as well as the principal betting
at the Turf and other clubs, in the City and at the
leading list houses. I have, however, said enough on
this score, lot The future Sporting Notes tell their own
tale, and proclaim whether er no in this remarkably fast
age I can " ntnhe the running " and " live the pace" id
sporting knowledge; I can at least assure my numerous
clients that as their SPORTING COUNSEL I will give them
the best advice and information that I can possibly ob:
tain. The ensuing week will be a very busy one to the
turfite, as no less than five meetings figure en the list,
three of which, the Wolverhampton, Reading, and Hun.
tingdon, I now intend to touch upon.
WOLVERHAMPTON • •

leads off on Monday with the Trial Stakes, 1 m. 2 fur.
122 yds. which, I presume will fall to the lot of ALONZO,
4 yrs, Bst 71b. Thirteen acceptances for the Wolter;
hampton Stakes, 2 in. 4 fur., is by no manner of means a
very blooming affair, yet, I expect to see a moiety at
the post, consisting of Snowstorm, 5 yrs, 7st 81b, or
Cocktail, 5 yrs, 6st 121 b, most probably the former;
Champion, 5 yrs, 6st 121 b; Goldfinder, 3 yrs, sst 12th;
Hippogritf, 3 yrs, sst 10Ib; Siaffird, 3 yr.-, sst 41b; and
Clothworker, 5 yrs, 7st 101 b. Selina might also ruu.
Glauca has paid forfeit. Snowstorm and Champion, it
they ever possessed a chance of winning a race,
have got an opportunity now; their owners
had better make the best use of it. Gold 7
finder and Stafford will run uncommonly well;
The winner, I fancy, will be found in Scott's or Daw7.
son's horse, CHAMPION fur choice. Stafford and Gold-
. finder. third and tourth. The Ladies' Purse closes this
evvnirfg at nine o'clock; it will be run for in heats, 1 m.
2 kit. 122 yds. The Welter Handicap, one mile and a
halfrwill be won by General Sale, 5 yrs, 12st 51h; Ba-:
roness, 5 yrs, list 81b; and Warwick, 4 yrs, 1 Ist,
:second' and third. The field for the Produce Stakes will
be vtry exclusive, as not more than three (First Fruits,
The Prime Minister, and Ringleader) will start;
and very possibly the affair may terminsee in a.
wallt.:—over for the Prime Minister or First,
Fruits ; if the former runs, and I think he will,
no matter whether opposed or not, he wins.
From the fifteen nominations for the Cleveland Cup,
three miles, run on Tuesday, I shall deduct the trio of
three yrs old as the lot from which the winner will spring,.
taking LABYRINTH for choice; should he not start, I
must go for iiippogriff which, at any rate,, it would be
advisable to keep on the right side. Among the heavy
weights Sotterley and Clothworker are the best. The"
Chillington Stakes, for two yrs old colts Bst 71b, fillies
Bst 51h, half a mile, will, according to my accounts, be
won by MY FANCY or Lady Arnyott, former for choice,
with Medlock in the third position. The Borough
Members' Plate of 60 sous., winner to be sold, &c., heats,
a mile and a half, closes this evening at nine o'clock. The
Pat 'hull Handicap, a mile and a half, lays between LE
Jorr, 5 yrs, 7st 21b, and GRIEF, 5 yrs, 7st 111 b ; Humphrey
and Manchester close up. On Wednesday, but two
stakes out five have closed as yet; the first, the Holy-
oake Stakes, two miles and a half, will be won by HER-
BERT, 5 yrs, Tat 11113; or Lchia, 3 yrs, sst 91n; Ad •
ministrator thirilt. The. Foal Stakes is, a certainty for
THE DECEITFUL. •
- • READING

Races commence on Wednesday and conclude the fol-
lowing day.= •The only attraction on Wednesday is the
Berkshire Stakesftwo miles, which, I imagine, will be
carried to Sir Joseph Hawley's account by the aid of
CRANBERRY, 4 yrs, 7st 61b; Brington, 4 yrs, 6st 81b,
second; and Tilsit, 5 yrs, sat 121 b, third. On Thursday.
we have the Reading Stakes; for two yrs old colts, Bst
71b, fillies, Sat 31b; half a mile. This stake generally
attracts a large field to the post, and had it not been for
the appearance of Grey Tommy's potent cognomination
among the entries, would du so this year. At the pre-
sent time only one stake demands my attention at
HUNTINGDON, . .
