"GERMAN PASTE."

Oar English glory is confirmed, oar triumph ratiffe 1,
A. little English gold has gone—a few brave men have died ;
But "Articles of Peace" are signal, and form a paintsl cave.
Where, like the "Happy Family," all nations lose their rage.

'Tis curious to watch the "Bear" bow down with courtly stoop,
knd let the gallant e tgle strut arouad him " cock-a-wilco p ; "
'Tis strange to see the Lionstretched, like lamb on flowery plain,
WhilePrussiaaßatsandA ustrianCats are playing with his mane,

'Tis whispered there's a secret in the mixture of their fool,
some potent charm that cunningly affects their real blooi ;
And shrewd men have suspicion that the "secret" is a taste
Of that mysteriotts condiment well known as "German Paste. "

SPORTING NOTES.

CHARGE, CHESTER, CHARGE!

The Wizard of the North achieved a well-deserved
triumph at Newmarket. They who deemed Fazzoletto
a mere money horse were wof ally mistaken, and they
who laid long prices against him, and neglected to ge
out, had to pay dearly for their whistle. The suppose,
lameness of the horse, too, completely deceived th,
touts. That Fazzoletto walked lame after galloping is
unquestionable ; but only rheumatic affection causes
him to limp, and when warmed up to his wort.
all traces of the disorder quickly disappear. Lori
Derby arrived at Newmarket on the night preceding thi
race, and witnessed his horse's succe-s. The "ovation.'
which he received on the course must have been not i,
little gratifying; so warm and cordial a demonstratior.
was never before made on Newmarket Heath. Trainee
and jockey also came in for a full share of applause, an,
this public recognition of their merit and popularity was
richly deserved.

Aldcroft was, perhaps, justified in making the com-
plaint against Fazzoletto, but Lord Glasgow would only
have acted in a gracious and courteous manner toward,
Lord Derby had he withdrawn the objections especially,
too, as he could not have taken anything by his motion,
even if the alleged cross had been proved, and as the chance,
of Yellow Jack was in no way affected by the swerving of
Fazzoletto. The precedent, however, established in the
Cannobie case would seem to render the win-tye or wran•
gle principle the rule and net the exception. Although
no pecson is inclined to doubt the justice of the stewards
award in the caos of Glasgow v. Darby, yet the ver-
dict is irreconcilable with that given in the case of Pedley
v. Lord John Scott. By the way the particulars of thk
Saraband and Cannobie affair are likely to come before
the public in a court of law. Mr. Pedley is determined
to prosecute his claim to the stakes, whilst report says
that a noble lord who sat in judgment on the case, and
whose indiscreet conduct called forth many severe
remarks from all classes of sporting men, is about to cone
mence an action for libel against a weekly paper which is
distinguished for the fearless manner in which it ever ex
poses all abusesand mal-practices connected with the turf
Racing-men are on the tip-toe of expectation, and are
deeply interested in the tarn which the affair is likely t
take, as on the trial, it is supposed, certain peculiar dis-
closures will be made, not only with reference to the
Burwell Stakes, but also relative to the Woodyates sta.
ble, from which establishment Henry Goater has been
discharged under circumstances of particular harshness.
To return to the Two Thousand.—The prejudice
which existed against Fazzoletto was immediately
removed by the style in which he achieved his victory.
He seemed in my opinion to win all the way, albeit
many persons believe that the fact of his swerving at
the finish proved beyond a doubt that he won with
difficulty. My conviction is, however, that the horse
won with ease. Should he be the trusted representative
of the Whitewall Stable for the Darby, I shall be dis-
inclined to stand against him. That he is a good horse
is undeniable. The running of Manganese on Thursday,
however, has caused attention to be again directed
to Fly-by-Night, who is reported all right and
doing good work. Now that Wentworth has beet,
exposed, and some idea, certainly not very favourable,
has been afforded of his racing ability, I shall not
be surprised to see the Whitewall champion as good a
favourite as anything on or beforEPthe day. I have fre
quently hinted a doubt and hesitated a dislike about
Wentworth, simply because on principle I am disinclined
to trust " dark horses." Experience has proved how
judicious it is to adhere to the rule which I have laid
down in this respect. Wentworth is unquestionably a
beautiful horse, built more for speed than endurance, but
in my opinion unsuited for a Derby course. That he
had his opponents beat for the Newmarket Stakes some
distance from home is undeniable, but that he made
a bad and unsatisfactory finish of the race is also beyond
a doubt. He did not, in fact, win like a "flyer." Still many
plausible reasons have been adduced to account for the
slovenly manner in which he pulled through. It is said
that Alfred Day, when he found he hal the race safe,
stopped Wentworth, who, being a sluggish horse, re-
quired a good deal of rousing to "get him out" again.
In my opinion his success was scarcely so satisfactory as
that achieved by Yellow Jack last year over Secret. I
admire the pluck, however, which induced John Day to
bring out his crack, and the fact of allowing him to run
showed that he possessed a large amount of cenfidenee
in the prowess of his horse. Still, I fancy that Mincepie
has deceived the Danebury party, and induced thee, to
over-estimate the ability of Wentworth.
By ,the time these notes meet the reader's eye, the
annual stir and bustle of preparation for the " Roodee
Revels" will be rousing the quiet inhabitants of the
autiente citie of Chester. The noise and the clatter of
the incoming visitors are doubtless already echoing
through the quaint old rows and narrow streets, and by
midnight the town will be chokeful. A programme
of more powerful and varied attractions is seldom com-
piled for the delectation of racing men, and the untiring
industry of Mr. Tophaen will doubtless be rewarded by
a most busy and successful meeting. Fine weather only
seems to be required to effect a consummation so ear-
nestly to be wished.
Should One Act be brought out for the Palatine
Stakes she ought to have little difficulty in defeating
her opponents. Should she, however, be reserved for
the grand coup on Wednesday, I shall expect either
Theodura, or Bonner and Buxom to win.
For the Chesterfield Handicap twenty-six horses are
weighted. Fisherman and First Fly are my fancies.

If the running at York afforded any criterion of ability
Blink Bonny will win the Mostyn Stakes. I am in-
clined to award second honours to Lambourn. For the
Wynnstay Handicap I select Ellermire, Lord Alfred,
and Imposture.
In turf phraseology the Chester Cup may be called an
" open race." Until within the last seven days specu-
lation had been " cabin'd, cribbed, confined, bound in by
saucy doubts and fears," but its range has now been
materially widened by the introduction of new favourites
and by the supprt conceded to certain outsiders. Imo-
gene, One Act, and Yellow Jack occupy the front rank
in the list of quotations, and their respective pretensions
are certainly well founded Yellow Jack's running at
Newmarket is a proof of the formi.iableness of his chance.
He is a game sluggish horse, and requires determined
riding ; he will have the benefit of Fordham's assistance,
and with such a "man jockey" up his backers will have
no cause for fear. The success of One Act at. York en
titles her to the position which she holds in the betting.
I have no fancy for Aldford, and, despite his light
weight, I. shall not be gulled by the boasted superiority
of his chance. Imogene is a fine mare, with a long
sweeping stride, and will bring more credit to her stable
than did Rhesus. It would occupy too much space
to refer separately to each animal likely to assemble at
the .post ; I shall therefore express my opinion as
briefly as possible. From the top weights I select Typee
and Hungerford ; from the middle weights, Courtenay
and Imogene ; and from the light weights, Yorkshire
Grey, Yellow Jack, Stork, and One Act. Certain
horses that now occupy prominent positions in the
market I have passed over in silence, because I deem
them totally unworthy of the support which they have
received. The three animals which I am inclined to
stand on against the field are—
YELLOW JACK, STORK, and ONE ACT.
I shall make a venture with old HUNGERFORD for
a "cockboat."

The Triennial Produce Stakes, for 4-yrs-old, will go
to John Osborne.

The Welter Cup will be carriel off by either Eulo-
gist or One Act.
Whether Artillery will be brought out for the Dee
Stakes is somewhat doubtful. Ellington is also amongst
the nominations, and the appearance of either of these
animals la the lists would excite considerable interest.
Should both run I shall give the preference to Artillery.
In their absence Viscount and Omer Pacha will be the
most noteworthy names.

Lord Alfred, Mosquito, Berezina, and One Act seem
to have the best of the weights for the Marquis of West-
minster's. Plate.

I shall not at present refer to the races appointed to
be decided on Friday.

MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The country markets held on Saturday were for the
most part steady for wheat, and prices had an upward
tendency. The demand for barley and flour ruled firm sb
full quotations. In the value of other produce very little
change took place.
The continental markets are firm and the value of wheat
is well supported. As yet very little business has been
done in Russian ports on English account.

Very moderate supplies of home-grown produce were
received up to our market last week. The imports were
liberal, viz., 20,329 quarters of wheat, 5,679 barley,
18,583 oats, 1,600 beans, 15,457 linseed, 13,457 rapeseed'
3,532 sundry seeds, 5,223 sacks, and 8,498 barrels of floor.
Fresh up to our market, this morning, coastwise and by
and carriage, the arrivals of English wheat were on a very
noderate scale, but is full average condition. The oboe
if samples being small, and the attendance of buyers on
;he increase, the demand for all kinds of wheat, of home
produce, ruled very firm, and prices were from ls, to 2s.
per quarter higher than on Monday last.
Foreign wheat, the show of which was slightly on the
increase, was in steady, though not in very brisk, demand,
at very full prices; indeed, in some instances, fine quali•
ties realised is per quarter above last week's rates. Sere•
ral parcels of low wheats were taken by the distillers.
Floating cargoes of grain were rather higher.
We were much better supplied with barley than fcr
some weeks past : the trade was, therefore, less active;
evertheiess, the late improvement ip value was supported;
for malting parcels, grinding and distilling sorts were 1s
per quarter lower.
The malt trade may be called steady at late rates.
Owing to the large imports from abroad, the oat trade
was dull, and damp samples were 6s per quarter lower to
purchase.
Beans changed hands steadily, at full quotations.
In peas, very little was doing at last month's currency.
The flour trade was firm. Country and foreign gnali•
ties advanced is to 2s.
