SPORTING NOTES.
NOTIONS FROM NEWMARKET.

A satisfactory supply of sport, and weather which
offered no drawback from its enjoyment, rendered the
opening day of the First October Meeting pleasant
enough. The town is not full, yet the number of visitors
is fully equal to the average, and, all things considered,
the prospect of a successful campaign at head-quarters
is most encouraging. The Subscription Room no longer
presents a bare and unfinished appearance ; the interior
has been elaborately decorated, and over the mantel-
piece is an oil painting of the horse Reubens, who seems,
by the way, to be a particularly wild and " flashy "
animal. The sport was interesting. Ayacanora carried
off the Hopeful Stakes, beating Lambourn, who at one
time looked "all over the winner," by a neck, and I am
inclined to believe that her success was mainly attribut-
able to the superior skill and judgment of Alfred Day,
who certainly cannot be " handicapped " with Sopp, the
rider of Lambourn, Vanity, who had all the best of the
weights, was third, and a bad third too. The game which
was played with Poacher and Flacrow proves that the
"party" are shrewd turf tacticians. To bring Flacrow to
3 to 1, and have the real Simon Pure at 16 to 1, was cer-
tainly an admirable piece of racing stratagem. Fordham's
luck and determined riding only brought Blue Rock
through, for on entering the cords Poacher seemed really
about to snatch the victory from him. The two top
weights, Flacrow and New Brighton, were third and
fourth. Mcetissima was a rare good thing for The
Triennial, and, as usual, the "talent" were in the secret.
Her backers, however, did not feel comfortable until Mr.
Clark had given orders to hoist her number on the tele-
graph. Ayacanora was beaten by a neck only, and Che-
valier d'lndustrie, on whom Wells again sported Mr.
Howard's colours, was only a head behind her.
The Cup was contested by Homily and Fandango.
The horse won, but I think I never saw animals more
leg.weary and distressed after a race than they were
when pulled up. It was some time before Fandango
could be led back into the town. It is said that the Cup
has not been contested for upwards of sixty years, and
indeed it would seem that the modern system of racing
would only enable us to find two four-yr-olds capable of
galloping over the B.C. twice in a century.
The Northallerton Meeting has certainly drawn •ff
certain book makers from Newmarket, whilst it will be
well supported by the North Country division. The
programme contains eleven items, and for the most part
good racing may be expected. lam so completely in the
dark as to the probable starters that I can only express
my opinion on the chances as they appear on paper. The
Two-Years-Old Stakes seems likely to be confined to
Sneeze and Strathnaver, and, despite the former's 51b.
extra, I shall expect her to win. The representative of
the Whitewall stable—perhaps the Leger winner, War-
lock—shall do battle for me for the Great North Riding
Handicap. Either Bourgeoise or Prince Plausible will
win the Northallerton Handicap.

CESAREWITCH AND CAMBRIDGESHIRE STAKES.--
YOUATT Vat, GRAY's adfice for the above events is
now ready. Lance for the Portland Stakes, at Doncas-
ter, and eleven other winners is something extraordinary,
but the advice on the above races will astonish all, as
1,000 to 1 can be obtained about the double event. I
am positive one, if both, does not come of. Recollect, I
named Mr. Sykes and Crown Pigeon last year (first and
second). Apply early, or the long price will be lost.
Terms : --To the Cambridgeshire, 7s. Gd. ; one week,
ss. ; single race, 2s. 6d. ; to the end of the season, 100.
6d,--Address, 15, Chariog•cross.
