on the auspicious event th; ‘t had lately taken place.

SPORTIB•G NOTES.

COMIN:kG EVENTS.

Metropolitan and proxiacial turfites will enjoy their
Easter week after their o wn peculiar fashion, and the
sport which is provided for them at Catterick Bridge,
Coventry, and Northam p ton, will enable them to in-
dulge their inclination to ..the top of their bent. Northern
sportsmen only are lit ely to assist at the Catterick
gathering, the racing not ;being of sufficient importance
to excite general interes t. People, however, have no
'objection to be "sent to Coventry" for two days, be-
cause they can take the oi ty of Peeping Tom, en route to
Northampton. At the 'fa at-mentioned town, however,
will be celebrated the mee ting of the week, and accord-
ing to the advices which I have this morning received, a
lire and busy gathering: may be calculated upon with
certainty.'_; The Subscription Room, at the George
Ho el; Willbe opened as usual, Fuller Andrews boldly
undertaking to pievide the requisite accommodation at
his Own risk and expens s. I trust the patronage which
he seeks and deserves w ill not be withheld from him.

The character of the e.ppointed sport has been already
rendered familiar to the reader. I shall not, therefore,
unnecessarily occupy sipace by expatiating ou the
"features" presented by the programme.
Although three nocnin at ions only are appended to the
Trial Stakes, and although the probabilities are that the
race will be reduced to a match between Tame Deer and
Fisherman, the encounter is likely to be marked by pe-
culiar interest on account of the running of the above-
named horses at Lincoln ; where, it will be remembered,
Tame Deer beat Fisherman at equal weights ; the former
will, however, ao w meet Fisherman on 9 lbs. better
terms, Mr. Parr's horse hay ing extra weight to carry to
exempt him from being claimed for 6001. Fisherman was
many pounds better at Warwick than when he ran
at Lincoln, and I shall expect him, should he "perform"
on Wednesday, to prove that his running with Tame
Deer in February was "all a mistake."
The support which Coal Black Rose has received for
the Earl Spencer's Plate warrants the belief that she
will not go for the Stand Plate, but that she will be
entirely reserved for the " event" on Thursday. In her
absence, therefore, I shall expect to see the Rajah, Com-
modore Charley, and The Flying Duchess occupy the
most prominent places in the race for the Stand Plate.

Could I calculate with certainty upon a start I should
be inclined to "stand" Merlin and Amorous Boy for the
Whittlebury Stakes. A man need indeed, however, be
possessed of second sight to indicate the winner of such
a race.

The unlucky little King of Trumps heads the list of
acceptances for the Nene Stakes. Still the character of
kris probable ohonents seems so insignificant, that he
will, doubtless, have little difficulty in pulling through.
His most formidable competitors will perhaps be Master
Slender and Noisette.

I shall expect Queen's Head to beat Stork for the
Racing Stakes.
The betting on THE NOR,THAMPTONSIIIM STASES has
not been characterised by particular briskness. Still the
race is nob likely to bei &void of interest. Wiokfield
has been steadily supported, and I deem him worthy of
the trust reposed in him. In Little Davie, however, he
will meet a most dangerous opponent. The running of
this horse at Liverpool and Warwick is most satis-
factory ; and, although the course is somewhat too
severe, yet with his comparatively light weight he will
doubtless be enabled to "get home" with the foremost
flight of competitors. Of Flatterer I, at present, enter-
tain no expectations. He, however, seems to me to be
every inch a race-horse, and when not out of his
distance, and when really backed by his party,
he will be a dangerous animal to stand against.
Paletot will, perhaps, ruu forward, but I doubt
his ability to concede Sibs. to Basik a. In Puck's pre-
tensions I ha,ve no faith. The most formidable three-
years-old is, in my opinion, Smack, but whether this
horse is really intended I am at present unable to deter-
mine. By the way, I had almost passed over Speed-
the-Plough, who is certainly entitled to notice, albeit

the course will be too trying for him. The animals
which I aa.i induced to select against the geld are
WINKFIELD, LITTLE DAVIE, and SMACK, my preference
being indicated by the order in which I have set down
their names. _

The interest which attaches to Earl Spencer's Plate
is deeper than that excited by the Stakes. A most ex-
citing race is likely to be occasioned. To select the
actual winner is a task too difficult to be attempted. Cal.
culating, however, upon a start, I shall take Flacrow
and La Victims to represent my interest.
Rohallion is said to be a "good thing" far the Al-

thorp Park Stakes ; but I am disinclined to express a
definite opinion on the comparative chances of " dark"
horses. Fur the " Cup" my fancy points to Homily.
Titormous and Prince's Mixture are the most entitled
to notice for the Delapre Handicap.
The respective partisans of Fly-by-Night and
-Yellow Jack seem determined to sustain Vaeir
opposing interest with spirit. At the Victoria Club
on Saturday night renewed hostility set in against
Fly-by-Night, who, it was jocosely remarked, had ob•
tained the real carrot at last. 100 to 40 was laid three
times against him, and at 2 to 1 backers► might have
been accommodated to any amount. The last mentioned
odds would have been taken about Yellow Jack. La Tic-
time was in much demand for the Chester Cup at 1,000
to 15 and 1,000 to 20, whilst a reported " break down"
caused Ariosto to be " knocked out" of the betting for
the City and Suburban Handicap. Some important
movements relative to coming events may be made at
Northampton, where backers of horses are likely to be
assembled in large numbeis. I shall be " arnang them
taking notes," and should any important demonstration
be made, why " faith I'll Arent it."
March 24. A FRESH MAN.

MOVEMENTS IN THE CITY.

2 o'cLocx P.M.

Flatterer has this morning again received powerful
support for the Northamptonshire Stakes, and is almost
as good favourite R 3 anything. Whether th 3 "demons-
tration" was genuine or not I will not attempt to deter-
mine. If Flatterer is really meant, ho will be a formi-
dable opponent. Ariosto has too, received considerable
support, and the rumour about his " break-down" is
said to be "all bosh." I, however, have no faith in
"bottled up" horses. The opinions which I have given
above I am disinclined to alter.
