.SPORTING NOTES.

Fortunio won the Ebor Handicap with War for
a place, precisely as I predicted. The three year
old form created no special feature of interest as
regards the St. Leger. R►yshworth maintained
his superiority over all corners, and ran game as a
pebble on Thursday, or he would not have got
home, as Typhon, a most improved horse, pressed
him hard, and it took Maidment all his time to
squeeze Ryahworth home first. There was really
nothing to spare in the performance. Lord
Hawthorn was easily beaten when it came to
racing, as he is still backward. He wants at
least a month or six weeks' more work, and then he
will be " a nailer " over a distance of ground ; and
if he gets in the Cesarewitch with something like
7st 71b it will require a really good horse to beat
him. Arlington was never "in the hunt," and
hence his Leger chance must at once be dismissed.
Acaster ran forward, and appears a much better
horse than many people thought him before York,
and he will prove a useful colt across the fiat at
Newmarket. Everybody could judge of Brennus
for themselves. He is nothing like fit, and
cannot be made fit for the Leger, so that his
chance for that race has literally departed never to
return, for Acaster beat him for the Queen's Guineas.
The Cesarewitch is a complete dead letter at present,
and few of those that have been quoted in the
betting are likely to get well in. Mr. Hodgman
still fancies Paul Jones a good horse, but I don't
think Admiral Rous agrees with him, hence Paul
Jones will get lightly in. The Provost is a goad
horse, but Mr. Bevill seldom wins with a horse the
public fancy. The racing this week bad better he
left alone until the numberr of the horse arehoisted,
as it is impossible to tell the intentions of owners
who have several engaged in almost every race,
