SPORTING NOTES.

WAIFS FROM WARWICK.

Turfite3 " acquire a natural and prompt alacrity " in
standing " Sam." The Clerk of the Course is a popular
man ; he knows how to hit the public taste, and he can
apparently always command a good meeting. Despite
many drawbacks the gathering at Warwick attained
considerable success, and the promise which the pro.
gramme presented was realised to an extent which was
little expected. If the sport was not marked by much
prospective importance, it was at least of considerable
temporary interest. On Monday the Trial Stakes ex-
cited evident curiosity. Jack Shepherd, who looked in
blooming condition, was much fancied. Stork was next
in demand, whilst many persons, placing faith in the
judgment of Mr. T. Parr, who stated that Fisherman
was sure to beat Stork if he could only beat Jack Shep-
herd, trusted the puce jacket and white sleeves to pull
-them through. Fisherman won very cleverly, and was
subsequently much talked about for the City and Subur-
ban Handicap. Some weeks ago I mentioned him in
terms of strong commendation, and suggested the policy
of his never being slightingly regarded. After all, Mr.
T. Parr did not make, a very, bad bargain when ho
bought Fisherman last July at Liverpool. Some sur-
prise was expressed to him oti that occasion because he
had just sold The Coroner, and people could not under-
stand why he should Sell one two-year-old and buy an-
other. Mr. Parr is said to have answered at the time,
" Why, I have sold an animal far 1,4001. and bought a
better one for 5001." Not believing, however, that
Fisherman is as good as The Coroner, I still fancy that
one 71bs. better would win the Derby.
Mr. Goodman made a sad blunder with Fulbeck for
the Willoughby Handicap. In his endeavour to "draw
it fine" he completely threw the race away. He was
in fact out-ridden and "knocked silly" by Captain
Little, who rode Rodo-meli with all the tact ind
determination of a professional jockey. The Fill-
beck party were again sorely disappointed to-day
by the contest for the Great Warwick Handicap.
They deemed the race reduced to a certainty, but
Little Davie, making his own running►, won with
evident ease by three-quarters of a length. Veteran
attained the barren honours of third place, and surely
such utter brutes as he and Surgeon-General are more
suited to a fish cart than a race course. People who have
formed high expectations of The Prince of Orange will
doubtless be inclined to sing—
" There's a good time coming, boys,
Wait a little longer."
The brothers Parr were again brought into collision
to-day. As in the ease of Coroner and Stork at various
meetings last year, Tom beat Edwin for the Two-yr-old
Stakes. The winner is well-looking enough, but Lain-
bourne seemed as fat as a bull, and was evidently out of
condition. He will yet be heard of to advantage.
Madame Clicquot, a filly, very much like Bay Rosa.
lied, was an immense favourite, but she led to the dis-
tance, where she stopped.

The starter and the jockeys do not exactly put their
horses heads together. The "rows " between them be-
come annoyingly frequent. Mr. Hibburd insists, and
rightly, upon rigid obedience, but still he is incapable of
bringing the spoiled boys, with whom he has to deal,
under proper discipline. Jockeys are fined, but to no
purpose, and the starter gets foul abuse for exerting bis
authority. Stewards cf races and the Jockey Club,
however, will doubtless protect their own "official"
from direct personal insult.

The Something which I have to say about Salisbury
mu,t be necessarily short, for no information can be
gathered here respecting the appointed sport. Should
Sultan start be will, of course, win the Trial Stakes,
Either May Boy or Alice Wentworth may win the Wilt-
: hire Stakes. Itogerthorpe would be engorly scanned
were he to he brought cut for the Biennial Stakes. In
his absence Intimidation ought to pull through.

Flacrow, Flageolet, and Master Horton seem to me
the most noteworthy names among the twenty-four
nominations fn. the Handicap Plate. Apathy may fol-
low uo hia Warwickshire success by winning the Wilton
Park Stakes.

Betting-5 to 4on Royalty ;3to 1 agst British
Sailor.
Won by a length ; bad third.
A marked improvement was displayed in the attend.
ance of company. The weather, too, was sunny and
genial, and the sport sufficiently interesting to arouse
and sustain curiosity. The Two-Year-Old Stakes
brought out a large field. Madame Clicquot was made
the favourite, but she sorely disappointed her backers.
She seems to be made for speed, and not endurance.
She was beaten at the distance, whence the race was
solely confined to Lambourn (brother to Coroner) and
Apathy—horses belonging respectively to Mr. Edwin
Parr and Mr. T. Parr. The Great Warwick Handi-
cap was won by Little Davie, who made all his own
running, and whose luck on this course is notorious.
He was backed at prices ranging 'rein 100 to 6 to 8
to 1.
So limited was speculation on the Steeplechase and
other coming events that we do not feel justified in
making a formal quotation. 4 to 1 was offered on the
field for the Steeplechase, and 15 to 1 was taken to
1001. about Barber's lot for the Chester Cup.
Franc Picard, Jean du Quesne, Emigrant, Beech-
nut, and Harry Lorrequer have arrived.

AN INTELLIGENT SIGN.—A post was erected by the
directions e,f the surveyors of the roads of Kent, some
years ago, bearing the following inscription :—" This is
bridle•path to Faversham: it you can't read this, you
had better keep the main road."

150 guineas at the disposal of the Government to present
a sword to General WilliamF, who is a native of that
province. In order to enhance the gift in the estimation
of the gallant officer, it has been determined that it shall
be made entirely of materials produced in his native
country. The Acadian Iron Company his furnished the
steel, and the order is already in progress of execution.
