SPORTING NOTES.

NEWMARKET, MONDAY NIGHT.

' The racing season may now be said to have fairly
commenced. There was a good attendance of book-
makers on the course, and the absence of some of
the principal backers of the favourites for the Two
Thousand Guineas was the subject of general re-
mark. Umpire, who for a long time was under sus-
picion, has pleased the cognoscenti so well that he
has been again installed first favourite for the
Derby ; but I would advise the readers of
The Sun not to touch him except for
hedging purposes. lie is an overrated horse, and
ought to be among the 40 to 1 division. The horse
that will most likely win the Derby of 1860 is The
Wizard, and if I couple him with Nutbourne and
Mainstone, I do not think I shall have cause to
regret my choice. The only noteworthy occurrence
to-day was the defeat of Fravola for the 25 Soya
Sweepstakes, and the easy victory of Thunderbolt
The partisans of Richmond received a heavy blow
and sore discouragement by his defeat for the £5O
Sweepstakes.

On Wednesday, the Column Stakes ought to be
won by The Leprechaun or Sagitta. Ardour seems
the best for the Selling St ekes.

On Thursday Mr. Merry ought to pocket the 100
SOTS. Sweepstakes by one of his pair.
Sabreur ought to carry off the Produce Stakes,
and Plum Pudding the Hurstbourne. Promised
Land ought to beat North Lincoln in the Claret
Stakes; and Little Lady should win the Two-year-
old Sweepstakes. Red Rock looks well for the
Rowley Mile Sweepstakes. If Thormanby enter an
appearance against Thunderbolt, there will be an
interesting race ; but it is hardly likely Mr. Merry
will pull him out, and in that case I will give
the preference to Thunderbolt over all corners
At the present time I would recommend an invest-
ment on Yoicks for the City and Suburban, and
Professor Dick for the Metropolitan Handicap.
Catterick Bridge races commence to-morrow, and
bid fair to retain their popularity in the West
Riding. As many of the horses entered for the
various races are ako engaged at Newmarket, it
would be useless to make a guess at the probable
winners. The racing for this week will be wound
up by the Thirsk meeting, which takes place on
Friday and Saturday next.

THERE Is NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN.—
I think the following facts will be interesting to your readers
at the present time, when the rifle is the topic of the day.
The carbine with which Hamilton of Bothwellhaugh shot
the Regent Murray in 1570 is preserved at Hamilton Palace.
It has a brass barrel the same length as the Enfield rifle,
and the bore is of the same diameter, and, what is most
singular, it is rifled nearly in the same manner as the En-
field, The power of this rifle appears to have been great, for
"the ball, after passing through the body of the regent,
killed the horse of a gentleman who was riding on the other
side."—Correspondent of the Builder.
CAUGHT BY A SHARK.—The Karnak had arrived
at New York from Ha7annah and Nassau with Sir W. Gore
Ouseley. As she was leaving the latter port a pilot fell
overboard from her boat, in which he was being towed. Tho
ship was stopped, and the boat instantly left for his rescue,
while two lifebuoys were thrown from the ship. The boat
got close enough to give him the end of an oar, which he
took, and cried, " For God's sake, save me !" '1 he men
were about to haul him into the beat when he was carried
down by a large shark, which 'eme up of the Moment,
taking the oar with him.
