TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sia,—Having completed my arrangements for the re•
gular supply of intelligence from nearly every quarter
antl on nearly every branch of sporting information use-
ful to the turfite, every sporting note for the future will
be in itself a perfect multum in parvo to the racing man,
embracing as it will do all the latest on Bits afloat at the
clubs, the principal betting houses, t• the Corner," &c.
&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, let the future Sporting Notes tell their own
tale, and proclaim whether or no in this remarkably fast
age I can " make the running " and " live the pace" i❑
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 cne to the
turfite, as no less than five meetings figure on the list,
three of which, the Wolverhampton, Reading, and Hun-
tingdon, I now intend to touch upon.
WOLVERHAMPTON

levis off on Monday with the Trial Stakes, 1 in. 2 fur.
122 yds. which, I presume will fall to the lot of ALONZO,
4 yrs, Bst 71b. Thirtetn acceptances for the Wolver-
hampton Stakes, 2m. 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 12 ib, most probably the former;
Champion, 5 yrs, Get 121 b; Goldfinder, 3 yrs, sst 121 b;
Hippogriff, 3 yrs, sst iblb; Salford, 3 yrg, sst 41b; and
Cloth worker, 5 yrs, 7st 101 b. Selina might also run.
Glutton has paid forfeit. Snowstorm and Champion, it
hey ever possessed a chance of winning a race,
have got an opportunity now; their owners
had better make the best use of it. Gold-
finder and Stafford will run uncommonly well.
The winner, I fancy, will be found in Scott's or Daw-
son's horse, CHAMPION for choice. Stafford and Gold-
tinder third and fourth. The Ladies' Purse closes this
evening at nine o'clock; it will be run for in heats, 1 m.
2 fur. 122 yds. The Welter Handicap, one mile and a
half, will be won by General Sale, 5 yrs, 12st 51b; Ba-
roness, 5 yrs, list Sib; and Warwick, 4 yrs, 1 Ist,
second and third. The field for the Produce Stakes will
be very exclusive, as not more than three (First Fruits,
The Prima Minister, and Ringleader) will start,
aod very possibly the affair may terminate in a
walk 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 Cur',
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 fiippogriff which, at any rate,, it would be
advisable to keep un the right side. Among the heavy
weights Sotterley and Ciuthworker are the beat. 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 Amyott, 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
Patshull Handicap, a mile and a half, lays between LE
JCIF, 3 yrs, 7st 21b, and GRIEF, 5 yrs, 7st 111 b; Humphrey
and Manchester close up. On Wednesday, but two
stekes out of five have closed as yet; the first, the Holy-
°idle Stakes, two miles and a half; will be won by HER-
BERT, 5 yrs, 7st 1 llb; or Ischia, 3 yrs, sst 910; Ad-
ministrator third. The Foal Stakes is a certainty for
THE DECEITFUL.
