SPORTING NOTES.

The prl.e'pal feature of the vv. ek is the increa,ed in-
vestments on Brigantine, who has been heavily supported
for the Goodwood Cup, and, as the field is certain to be
Enetll, intending backers should be on at onee. No
horse can be doing better than Pretender for the St.
Leger, and despite the "peppering " of certain operators,
1 repeat he has only to keep well to win the Lege-.
Brennus is greatly talked about in the North,
but it will be quite time enough to back him after he
has mon the Great Yorkshire Stakes, and not before.
The betting upon the Goodwood Stakes is now settling
down, Bete Noire, Starter, and Adolphus being about
equal fa‘ ourites ; but no doubt some startling changes
will take place before the end of the week. War gains as
much genuine support as any horse in the race. The
stable, however, is by no means "sweet" on his chance,
for there was nothing really grand in his Carlisle perform-
ance, for jockeyship, rather than merit, won him the
Cumberland Plate. Bete Noire was hardly so fit when
he won the Ascot Stakes as he is now, and his
trainer is wonderfully sanguine, but would he
like to stand Bete Noire in a match with Al-
penstock at a stone I think not; few would.
Make Haste has held a position in the market uncom-
monly like a safe one since my last. An attempt was
made, however, by Mr. P. (who had considerable interest
in Cossack's Derby) to got the Make Haste money back at
Nottingham, and he succeeded in backing the horse to
win something like £3,000 at 20 to 1. At Reading, how-
ever, on Thursday, the movement was not continued.
It may be, however, as these remarks are being penned,
and if it is, and the horse keeps well, Make Haste will
win the Goodwood Stakes. There is always some-
thing mysterious with the Fyfield pots, and Make
Haste is no exception to the rule; and hence, whilst
the opposition to the horse lasts, no one can re-
commend him with safety. Acaster cannot stay the
course, but Miss Gratwicke can, and will run, and do her
best. " Lord Frederick" and the " Cecil division" have
backed Adolphus to win a large stake, and one gentleman,
who was said to have got all the Cecil money for the
Cesarewitch, accepted 500 to 75 about Adolphus for the
Goodwood Stakes at Nottingham, and he would have gone
on at the figure, but it was not forthcoming on that day
(Tuesday). On Wednesday Adolphus was not so firm,
as it was reported he and Cecil had gone to bo tried, but
no one seemed to know where. Holywell was perhaps
their destination, where the ground is better adapted for
a trial than perhaps any other turf in the kingdom. Alpen-
stock is a genuine candidate, and is the bast class horse in
the race, but then he has a big weight, and cum); I
think, give the weight he is called upon to give the light
weighted three year o!ds, Startl. and Adolphus. Indeed
it is impossible for him to do it if the latter pair are at
all worthy the name of a race horse. Islam and Bracken
won't run. Provider has been stopped in his work, as he
was getting somewhat overdone ; not exactly the sort of
horse to back for the Goodwood Stakes, for horses must be
as "fresh as paint" to win over that course. The Vallation
gelding is in the same interest as Starter, and will not op-
pose him ; and Choral has lost the grand action she pos-
sessed at this time last year. Young Fenton is from 71b
to 101 b inferior to Provider, and hence of little use here.
The meetings of this week aro unimportant.

A FRESH MAN.
