SPORTING NOTES.

There will be a great muster of turfites at Newma'rket
to-morrow to witness the contest for the Eleventh iiien-
nial Stakes, as the Derby crack, Pero Gomez and Rysh_
worth, will meet. Sir Joseph's horse has been th e reign-
ing favourite all through the winter, and if he is defeated
by the latter Belladrum and Rysh worth will become favour-
ites, as the one proved himself as good a horse as the other
last year. However, 1 think Pero Gomez will have the
best of it at the finish. Abstinence or Martinique should
furnish the winner of the 100 Sovs Sweepstakes, and
Badsworth the Sale Stakes, as well as the Sweeptakes of
50 Sovs. The Beacon Stakes will be secured by Stepha-
notis. The following lot will, in all probability, be found
at the post to contest the Newmarket Handicap:

Restitution, now that See Saw is out of the way, will take
a lot of beating if he should represent the baron in pre-
ference to Nyanza as his second to Cecil in the Cesarewitch,
when giving him 251 b., shows that he is a first-class horse.
Blueskin is the best of Mr. Saville's lot, and is bound to
run forward if preferred instead of Lancet, but I shall stick
to Alpenstock, who carried mo through so triumphantly in
the City and Suburban Handicap, to again furnish the
winner. Next to himself I fancy Restitution in preference
to Geant des Batailles. The Column Stakes will be won
by Belladrum, who I am told is a certain starter. There
are several minor meetings during the week, but they are
not deserving of notice from
