SPORTING NOTES.

NOTIONS FROM NEWMARKET.

"Is there anything fresh ?" is the question which one
person puts to another as they walk in the street, and
invariably an answer in the negative is returned. There
is really no news to cornmuni ate. Eloquence is at pre-
sent the " coming horse" for the Cambridgeshire. Shs
has been most satisfactorily tried, and with the same
animal that was " put through the mill" with Vengeance
prior to the Cesarewitch. " The Admiral" is too shrewd
a tactio'ar, and has had too much experience on the
turf to make a mistake, and I believe be entertains a
high opinion of Eloquence's chance. The Bedford
running would, too, justify, to a certain extent, the
fondness with which the mare is regarded ; still I con-
sider her formidable, albeit many persons deem her
somewhat too small to enable her to sustain with succes •
so severe a rase as that which will take place for the
Cambridgeshire.

Not withstanding.the demonstrations which have been
made in favour of Coup de Main, Eloquence, and
others, and despite the reports which have been circu-
lated about the horse's having of late done no work,
Vengeance maintains his ground in the market with
wooderful firmness. From ocular demonstration I can
testify that so far as looks are concerned no horse in the
world can be better than Vengeance, and should he
keep well I skall be fully prepared to see him achieve
the double event. His most dangerous opponents will
be Pole Star and Eloquence. Vengeance was always
considered better than Pole Star, and the estimate
which was formed of their relative merits by their
late trainer is, I think, correct. Malacca has a
nasty fighting action, but still, according to the
Cesarewitch running, he must obtain a forward
position at the finish. Coup de Main—or "Lord
Derby's horse," as be is called by those who wish to
get over the difficulties of pronunciation—is in conside-
rable demand. I have been informed that before the
Ascot Meeting he was tried with Forbidden Fruit at
even weights, and was only beaten by a head. Now, if
this trial was correct, and if Coup.de Main only ran at
York to " gammon" the people, he must have a most
formidable chance. Still, if I recollect aright, he was
paraded about the streets of Doncaster, and was put up
by auction, but nobody would bid forty guineas for
him ! Still there are people who own that his race
with Fisherman, his subsequent performance for
the Selling Race, and his attempted sale, were a part of a
plot, but I believe that, although Jack Nokes or Tom
Stiles might (endeavour to deceive the public in his
manner, I do not think that Lord Derby would lend
himself to so mean and paltry an artifice. Coup de
Main I know once possessed some form which he lost,
but be may have neverthless regained it. Alma has
been backed on the strength of her Kelso performance,
but I will have " none of her." Poacher is an old 'un,
whose light weight is his only recommendation. Hos-
pitality ought to run well, if he be the Hospitality that
beat Fisherman so easily for the City and Suburban
Handicap. Merlin I do not understand, but I do not
think he could win on his merits. Of the old 'uns I
prefer Hungerford, but I have nu expectation of seeing
him land the " Baron's colours" in triumph.
I shall not unnecessarily occupy space by referring to
the other horses likely to comprise the field, which will,
in all probability, number upwards of thirty starters.
Taking the Cesarewitch running as my guide, and be-
lieving that no mistake has been made with reference to
Eloquence's trial, I shall select
VENGEANCE AND ELOQUENCE
against the field ; but, in their default, either POLE STAR
Or COUP DE MAIN will pull through.
Two gentlemen, desirous of inhaling the fresh breerss
on the heath, bent their steps on Saturday towards the
" turn of the lands," and unfortunately came upon a
"trial party," and were just time enough to see the
result. Great indignation was expressed at their intru-
sion, which was, of course, merely the result of accident.
It is said that one of the horses in the trial carried so
heavy a saddle, and so much weight, that saddle and
saddle-cloths were conveyed to and from the course by
a waggon and horses I
The minor events I shall not touch upon, but should
opportunity serve I may send some rough notes on the
doings for publication in the course of the week.

A FRESH MAN.
Monday Morning, eight o'clock a.m.

TATTE RSALL'S -SATURDAT.

The business of comparing on the " Cambridgeshire"
drew together a tolerable number of subscribers. Specu-
lation on this event was, however, somewhat limited.
Vengeance, Pole Star, and Coup de Main still occupied
the foremost positions, at the prices quoted on Thursday,
although Pole Star had the cs,ll of Lord Derby's horse
at the close. Merlin was in some request, at 12 to 1,
and Eloquence, who came with great force into the "city
market" on the preoeding evening, was backed at 100 to
7 and 14 to 1, and 13 to 1 was the final offer against her.
The Poacher was frequently inquired after, and Alma,
on the strength of her Kelso performance, advanced to
16 to 1, taken. The other transactions were unimpor-
tant.
