SPORTING NOTES:
No. XXXV.
A FEW HINTS ON THE TWO THOUSAND
GUINEA STAKES.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIII,—The Two Thousand Guinea Stakes command so
much attention at the present time in all sporting circles
that I think it advisable to lay before you all the infor-
mation concerning it that has come to hand up to noon
this day. The field, it is presumed, will range between
six and ten, to be selected from the following list, the
first five of whom ars certain starters, viz.:—Mountain
Sylph colt, Exeter, Glenhawk, Midas, and The Con-
fessor; the uncertain lot comprise the following names:
—Oleandor (v. d.), Cnasus, Hippolytus, Primitius,
d.),(vilda.t)h, Boabdil (v. d.), Hernandez,
800 erton (v. d.), Newminster, Grosvenor
(Bva.ld"Svm,.°Storm (v. d.), Lamartine, and Stabbings' couple.
Those marked v. d. are very doubtful. The remaining
ten may be cor!siderad as good as scratched. New-
minster is said to be short of work ; Storm
is in the same fix. Day's lot, six in number, Lamartine
(with a good private reputation), Boabdil (no
earthly use for this race), Julia (out of training, I be-
lieve), Primitius (a lrge-limbed animal, too slow for
this spurt), Ipsus (said to have a turn of speed), and
Grecian (the wonder of times past)—will probably have
one representative in the fray, which, I presume, will
be either Lamartine or Ipsus; but not knowing for a
fact, can't say. In the absence of Newminster I really
cannot discover anything to beat the 'Squire's colt, who,
for the present at least, stands A 1 in my estimation. The
latest betting is as follows:-2 to 1 eget Mountain
Sylph colt, 5 to 2 taken &tidy; 5 to 1 sgst Exeter; 8 to
1 each, The Confessor and Glenhawk; 10 to 1 agst
Newminster; 10 to 1 apt Day's lot. 1000 Guineas-5
to 2 agst Iris; 4 to 1 agst Aphrodite; 6 to 1 agst Lord
Exeter's lot, taken freely; 10 to 1 each, Vermuth and
Citadel.

MEN.—In answer to several correspondents concern-
ing Lady Evelyn, allow me to state that a short time
since she was doing ordinary work, but not having heard
anything about her lately, as to whether she has been
put to the stud, &c., I can give no further information
on the point; should aey come to hand, it shall be made
public on the instant.

I am, Sir, yours, Ecc.
THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.

April 16, 1851.

DEPARTURE OF THE COURT FOR WINDSOR CASTLE,
FOR THE Hounixs.— (This AT.)—Her Majesty and the
Prince Consort, accompanied by their Royal Highnesses the
Prince of Wives, the Princes Alfred and Arthur, and the
Princesses Royal, Alice, Helena, and Louisa, and attended by
the Marchioness of Douro (Lady in Waiting), Lord Byron
(Lord in Waiting), the Hon. Miss Seymour (Maid of
Honour), the Hon. Col. Charles Grey, Secretary to the
Prince, and the
usual retinue, left Buckingham Palace this
afternoon, escorted by an officer's party of the 16th Lancers,
for Windsor Castle. The august party proceeded by special
train on the Great Western Railway, and were received at
the terminus at Windsor with the usual honours. Her
Majesty's sojourn at the Castle is not expected to exceed a
fortnight, as the Queen has graciously consented to open the
Grand Exhibition in state, on the let of May.

POST-OFFICE NOTICE.—An official notification
having been received
y
forwarded direct by sea from the Norwegian Post-office,
stating that steam-packets had commenced running direct
between Norway and Lenmark, the mails from the United
Kingdom for Norwa,
whilst this communication is kept
open, will not be transmitted through Sweden, but will be

comprises both the British and foreign postage on
the letters to the place of their destination, and it may be
either paid in advAnce, or the letters may be forwarded un-
paid at the option of the sender, except, however, as regards
registered letters, the postage upon which, as well as the re-
gistration fee, must be paid in advance.
THE EXPOSITION.—MESSNS. HOWELL AND JAMES.
—The display at present open in Regent-street is extensive
and gorgeous. There is not a portion of the globe from
which productions of taste emanate but is represented. The
creme de la creme of the Indies and China, the most exquisite
lace of Mechlin, the richest silks of Lyons, a profusion of
novel jewellery, feathers of the scarcest plumage, artificial
flowers, cheating the judgment of the florist, and bronzes en-
dowed by genius, fill salon atter salon (the suite of which
extends over the neighbouring mansions); yet the eye tires
not, so refreshing a recherche is the tout ensemble. That por-
tion of the industrial wealth intended for Hyde-park will
not, we are informed, be removed so soon as intended, ar-
rangements having been entered into to keep open this petite
Exposition the whole of Thursday.—Post.
