SPORTING NOTES.

The most most remarkable &shire in last week's races was the
meeting of Dundee, Walloon, Little Lady, Queen of the
Vale, and Evenhand, it being the first appearance of the
latter, a goo J-looking, fine-sized colt, by Mildew out of
Underlinnd's dam, who was, however, too " backward" to
permit of his showing his true form on this occasion. The
Ring, true to their instincts, stood the field bravely against
the " Bonnie Dundee," but short though the distance--three
furlongs 217 yards—was, neither of Lord Stamford's
could effect his overthrow, Walloon, who was ridden
in a very jolly fashion, cutting it at the top of the hill
when it looked " any odds" on him. The filly was
then brought into play, and Dundee, who lay off in the
early part of the race, had to be called upon to reach
her, and to effect which both whip and spur were in re-
quisition, but after being struck three or four times he won
by a neck, the cowardly Walloon finishing two lengths
behind his little stable companion, who, had she "come
through," would very possibly have effected the overthrow
of the favourite. Thus the stain of his only defeat this
year is wiped away, for Lady Clifden only beat him half
a length in the Tyro Stakes at the Liverpool Spring, and the
61b improvement manifested on Tuesday last will more
than make up for that defeat. It might be presumed Lord
Stamford has his measure to an inch now, and that if they
back Diophantes or Imaus in earnest for the Derby, Dun-
dee is doomed ; but, at the same time, it must be recollected
how difficult Dundee found it to dispose of Brown Duchess
at Liverpool over half-a-mile, while he fairly lost her over
three-quarters at Goodwood, and those who hang on the
Hopeful "line" may find it just strong enough to drop
them anywhere but on their feet. Mr. Merry has
now a great chance of performing the same feat
as Sir Joseph Hawley did, two years ago, of winning
the Derby two years in succession.

In the Eastern Counties Handicap, Cantine (one of my
selection) had no difficulty in winning.
The remaining fixtures for the season are now rapidly
drawing to a close. The programme for Melton is all that
could be desired.

Seven items are in the list for the first day, of which the
Malton Handicap, being the principal race of the meeting,
claims to be first noticed. Gladiolus and Petra from the
top weights have nothing to complain of, nor Secret
Treasure and Greta from the light 'weights. I shall trust
the two last-mentioned to represent me. For the Two-
Year-Old Stakes Scrubbing Brush and Lady Louisa should
not be lost sight of.

Both Deefoot and East Stanley are engaged in the Fitz-
william Plate, for two and three-yr-olds, and though both
are penalised 71b, either can effect the overthrow of all
others entered, though Tho Dutchman, who ran second to
W.itnAn of vork spring-. and second to Prudence at New-
castle-on-Tyne, is bound to L uu wen on ms own ground.
The Northcliffe Handicap looks a " good thing" for either
Eidolon or Edmund Kean, as both have much the best of
the weights with the two year olds.
The result of the Langton Stakes, for two and three year
olds, straight half-mile, will depend upon the issue of the
Two Year Old Stakes on the first day, nearly the same
horses being engaged in both.

Bedford, on Wednesday and Thursday, will, doubtless,
on the eve of the Cesarewiteh attract a large attendance, as
everybody will be on the qui vine, anxious to learn the
" last move" of a game in which are involved such im-
mense and conflicting interests.. Tho sport, so far as an
opinion may be formed from the skeleton appearance of the
programme, is likely to exhibit some shortcomings, three
only of the ten races in the list having yet filled, and in
the face of the Newmarket meeting large fields need not
now be expected.
In the Bedfordshire Handicap, Sandy Macpherson and
Faultless should keep the rest of the field safe.

The Two-year-old Stakes has Conundrura and South-
port engaged, and if the owner of the first chooses to part
with his horse for £2OO, he will have no difficulty of se-
curing the stakes, but in the absence of Conundrum I shall
put my trust in Southport.
There will be two excellent day's racing at Cardiff on
Thursday and Friday—the Cardiff Handicap being the
principal attraction. Fifteen out of the twenty •eight
weighted have accepted—a flattering testimony to the skill
of the handicapper, as a third of the horses entered for
most of the principal handicaps this year has in most in-
stances been nearer the number of " contents" than a half,
two in excess of which have stood in this race. Those that
I have most fancy for arc Emblem and Frederick. The
other events I shall not touch upon at present.
I shell refer to the Cesarewitch Stakes at length, next
week, but at present I think an outlay on The Alderman,
Comforter, and Conscript will prove remunerative—the first
fur choice.

A FRESH MAN.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER-SATuiDAT.

We had a fair amount of business done on the Cesare-
witch. At one time during the afternoon it seemed as
though Feodorowna, Weatherbound, and Bevis had done all
that was required of them. 40 to 1 was offered against each,
and as much as 50 to 1 was laid against Bevis, but towards
the close 33 to 1 became the offer against Weatherbound or
Bevis, but no change took place as to Feodorowna. Com-
forter had always friends at 20 to 1, and there was always
money for The Alderman at 30 to 1, at which price Opti-
mist was supported; it was also taken about Starke, but
that price was offered at the close. Conscript was more in
demand than Plumper, but no one seemed to hold the
latter too lightly. Most of the horses quoted received their
share of support. The backers of Barabbas, Killigrew,
Mavourneen, and Stapleton were quite willing to go on at
their respective prices. There was little disposition evinced
to speculate on the Cambridgeshire, and the only animals
for which we saw any use for the metallic were Sutton at
20 to 1, and Prelude at 30 to I.—Closing prices :

EXTRAORDINARY RACE CESAREWITCH STAKES.
YOUATT WILLIAM GRAY'S advice on this race reveals all
the mysteries connected with this extraordinary event. No
previous contest for this or any other great event ever mys-
tified the racing public more than the betting on the present
Cesarewitch Stakes. 20 to lon the field nine days before
the race is to many a puzzler. A horse now at 30 to 1
ought, but will be at 8 to 1 before the word " go," is sure
to win. He has kept an eye on every move while at New-
market, but in spite of all dodging is not to be cheated. Pit-
man has already tried ono, Tame Deer has gone to try
another, Master Begot a third, and the fourth, and
very likely the winner. Remember, nothing could stall
me off St. Albans for the St. Leger, and come what may
I shall remain staunch to the helm, with the confidence of
bringing my friends' investments to a profitable and vic-
torious issue. Cambridgeshire Stakes, a horse at 100 to 1

bids fair to run with us in the building of iron steam-ships ;
and we are certain that any apparent delay which has taken
place in giving orders for the Construction of a further
number of these formidable but most expensive ships,
proceeds merely from a desire on his part to be convinced
that he possessed the plans and models of vessels best
calculated not only to act as engines of warfare, but as
safe seaboats. The Lords of the Admiralty have also, we
believe, felt reluctant to hazard any more of the public
money in what might have been considered a hazardous ex-
periment, and have been desirous first of testing all the
various qualities of the Warrior and Black Prince. These
ships should, according to contract, have been ready for
sea at the very moment we are writing, but from delays
which have arisen from various causes, the time mentioned
for their being fit for service is precisely the autumn of
next year. We have taken pains to ascertain the reason of
this serious breach of covenant, and find that the autho-
rities have a right to complain of the tardy conduct of the
contractors, although, on the other hand, the latter excuse
themselves by saying that they are not to blame for the
alterations which have been made by the Admiralty during
the time the ships have been building, and for which they
have claimed an extension of the period originally allowed
them. —.army and Navy Gazette.

CITY BETTING—THrs DAY.
The _Rae*, Tim's says :—The Newmarket First Octo-
ber has indeed been what in vulgar phraseology would be
termed a " toe biter." The book-makers, to a man,
must have lost—in fact, we know several who have lost
a " little fortune ;" but it only tends to prove the stabi-
lity of the Ring as at present constituted, for up to
our writing we have not heard of one single defaulter.
There were several very large winners, and when we say
large, we mean winners of fabulous amounts, The settling,
altogether, passed off satisfactorily.

The Cesarewitch engaged the principal amount of atten-
tion, and was of course the lion of the day. Several ani-
male, as will be seen below, were backed, and with much
spirit. As to the events to be decided in the ensuing week,
the only ones that seemed to attract great notice were the
Bedfordshire Stakes, and the Malton Handicap. About
cue former as little as 5 to 4 was taken about Faultless to
some money. Both Clare and Soothsayer were in demand
at respectively 3 to 1 and 6 to 1.
The Malton Handicap attracted attention, through
Qreta coming in such force that 4 to 1 was taken freely
Cambondo was backed at 6 to 1; as was Donner and Blitz.
6 to 1 could have been obtained about any other.
The Cesarewitch was attended by one of those events not
very common in connection with the Turf in the fact of
Barabbas being installed first favourite and as little as 100
to 8 being eagerly taken at the close of the rooms. Com-
forter was strongly supported at 15 to .1, taken.
Bevis, Consoript, and Optimist were each in great force,
and were supported for money at 20 to 1.
Feodorowna, Mavourneen, and Plumper were each backed
at 25 to 1. Stapleton, Moorcock, and Sandy MTherson
found some few supporters at 40 to 1 each. Starke was
sent to 60 to 1, offered, and Danae received its coup by
1000 to 2 being laid.

The Cambridgeshire was not much talked about, in fact
very little business was transacted upon the event, the
only animals in demand being Sutton, Prelude, and one or
two others.

LARGE ROBBERY OF IVOTES AND

GOLD 12 LIVERPOOL.

John Thomas Richardson, who was brought be-
fore the Lord Mayor at the Mansion-house on
Wednesday, charged with being concerned in the
robbery of upwards of £1,500, in November last
year, from the house of Mr. Henry Moore, grocer,
then residing in Sandstone-road, Old Swan, near
Liverpool, was yesterday brought before Messrs.
Brocklebank, Preston, and Moss, at the county
magistrates' office, Liverpool. Mr. T. Toulmin,
solicitor, who appeared for the prosecution said
that on the 9th of November last Mr. Afoore's
house was robbed of three notes for £5OO each,
and between £6O and £7O in gold. One of the
notes was subsequently found to have been cashed
at Berne (Switzerland) and the proceeds (foreign
notes) were found in the prisoner's possession,
who was recognised in the act of attempting
to get them changed at Messrs. Samuel and Mon-
tague's bullion dealers, Cornhill, London. Mr.
Toulmin explained that he only wished to adduct)
sufficient evidence to justify the Court in granting
remand. Mr. Henry Moore, examined . biye A_ 1-a
Toulmin, said that in November last he resdd,tht

soner himself declared that he had never previously
been in Liverpool. It was then arranged that a
remand should be taken until this day (Saturday)
week, as Mr. Beard, the solicitor who appeared for
the prisoner in London, would at that time be able
to attend.
