SPORTING NOTES.

NEWMARKET, MONDAY NIGHT.
The racing season may now be said to have fairly
commenced. There was a good attendance of book-
makers on the course, and the absence of some of
the principal backers of the favourites for the Two
Thousand Guineas was the subject of general re-
mark. Umpire, who for a long time was under sus-
picion, has pleased the cognoscenti so well that he
has been again installed first favourite for the
Derby; but I would advise the readers of
The Sun not to touch him except for
hedging purposes. He is an overrated horse, and
ought to be among the 40 to 1 division. The horse
that will most likely win the Derby of 1860 is The
Wizard, and if I couple him with Nutbourne and
Mainstone, I do not think I shall have cause to
regret my choice. The only noteworthy occurrence
to-day was the defeat of Fravola for the 25 Sovs.
Sweepstakes, and the easy victory of Thunderbolt.
The partisans of Richmond received a heavy blow
and sore discouragement by his defeat for the £5O
Sweepstakes.

On Wednesday, the Column Stakes ought to be
won by The Leprochaun or Sagitta. Ardour seems
the best for the Selling Stakes.

On Thursday Mr. Merry ought to pocket the 100
Soya. Sweepstakes by one of his pair.
Sabreur ought to carry off the Produce Stakes,
and Plum Pudding the Hurstbourne. Promised
Land ought to beat North Lincoln in the Claret
Stakes; and Little Lady should win the Two-year-
old Sweepstakes. Red Rock looks well for the
Rowley Mile Sweepstakes. If Thormanby enter an
appearance against Thunderbolt, there will be an
interesting race ; but it is hardly likely Mr. Merry
will pull him out, and in that case I will give
the preference to Thunderbolt over all comers.
Feodorowna and Sparrow Hawk have the best of
it in the Free Handicap ; and Philomela, Apollo,
and Postage should win their respective matches.
At the present time I would recommend an invest-
ment on Yoicks for the City and Suburban, and
Professor Dick for the Metropolitan Handicap.
Catterick Bridge races commence to-morrow, and
bid fair to retain their popularity in the West
Riding. As many of the horses entered for the
various races are also engaged at Newmarket, it
would be useless to make a guess at the probable
winners. The racing for this week will be wound
up by the Thirsk meeting, which takes place on
Friday and Saturday next.
