SPORTING NOTES.

A FRESH MAN.

7 RAINING REPOR7 S.

KINGSCLERE.--.At Goodwood, in the Lavant Stakes,
Madame Eglentine filly and Blue Stocking are engaged.
The first-named will take a lot of beating, but she is not
quite so fit as I should have liked her to have been. I
think her myself to be rather a difficult mare to train over
hard ground. Gratwicke Stakes—Siderolite and Kiig
Cophetua are in, and 1 give the preference to the first-
named. Goodwood Derby—Pero Gomez is well, and the
race is at his mercy, but at present I have my doubts
about his going. Molecomb Stakes—Uadame Eglentine
filly has plenty of weight, but will run over this distance.
Rosicrucian is engaged in the Cup, but I am of opinion he
will not run, as he is still suffering from a sore back.
Racing Stakes—lt is just on the cards for Siderulite to
win. Morua will take her own part for the Nassau Stakes,
es she is very well.
NEWMARKET.—At Goodwood, in the Lavant Stakes, we
have Religieuse, Marie, Chanc,lier, Podesta, and the
Easquine filly ; this lot are all well, and the Basquine filly
is the best. lions Stakes.—Rupert I fancy Hill beat
Brigantine. Gratwicke Stakes.—Midsummer is well, and
will win. Ham Stakes.—We have Pibroch, Bulldog,
Podesta, D'Estournel's darn colt, Harlequin's dam filly,
and Kingcraft ; all are well, but there is nothing to beat
Kingeruit. Annesley Stakes.—We have St. Ronan, Blue.
skin, and Vale Royal. The last-named I believe will not
run, having been short of work. St. Ronan has been
doing good work on the tan, but being a roarer will not
beat Blueskin over this distance.
DIALTON.—At Goodwood, in the Gratwicke and Nassau
Stakes we have Kentish Fire, who is well and fit to run,
but the company will be found too good for lirr. She is
also in the Zetland Stakes, which I think she will win.
Goodwood Stakes-- Taraban and War are in. The last-
named has undergone a thorough preparation, and is fit
to run for a man's life. I think be is sure to be in the first
three, if not actually the winner. Seventeenth Bentinck
Memorial. —The Spy has returned home after his recent
victory, and looks none the worse for his journey. I
think he will credit his owner with this stake.
STOCKBRIDGE. —Ham Stakes. —Roderick Dhu and High-
land Lassie are engaged. The first-named will bo the best.
Steward's Cup. Red Rice has too much weight on, and he
has been stopped in his work since last Wednesday week.
Findon Stakes. Roderick Dhu is engaged, but I do not
fancy him much, as he is not fit. Sweepstakes of 300
Sovs.—Scottish Queen will win, as she is very well just
now. Racing Stakes.—Scottish Queen will win. Nine-
teenth Bentinck Memorial.—Cra Ile and Lady Annie are
in, and the last-named will be the best at present, as the
other is not fit to run, nor will she be until the Newmarket
Meetings. Molecomb Stakes.—Stanhope and Gossamer
filly are in, and the first will be the best, but he is only
moderate. Nassau Stakes.—Scottish Queen is engaged,
but she cannot give 71b to either Morna or Heather Bell.
MfooLmfam.—On Wednesday Pretender led Lord Haw-
thorn, Argyle, Derventio, and Thorwaldsen a mile and a
half. Lawrence led Tabouret, Outfit, Tom Bowline colt,
Morphia, Enfield, and Sea Captain twice. Departure and
Adelaide went a rattling gallop of a mile and a half, little
Grey on the former, and Hudson on Adelaide. Master-
man's Honesty, led by The Sawyer, went a good gallop of
a mile and a half. Thursday—Briggs' Bracken, Myosotis,
Vansittart, Jarnock, Canon, Lord Harewood, Lackland,
Duchess of Athol, Lady Mary, Clifden, Anna Bell, Pistash,
La Colonne, and filly by Blarney were sent the mile and a
half twice at a smart pace. Dawson sent Pretender, Thor-
waldsen, Lord Hawthorn, and Argyle a mile and a half at
a nice sweating pace.
FIFIELD. —At Goodwood, in the Lavant Stakes, we
have Rasper and Wildflower engaged. I like the last-
napled's chance the best, and I think she will run well.
Gratwicke Stakes—l have not seen Boundary since she
ran at Ascat, and I believe she is at Lord Aylesbury's
seat, Savernake Forest. Ham Stakes—The Cantine filly
and the Bribery colt are both well. The lant-named moves
first-class, but I don't think he will run hero. Findon
Stakes—Claudius, Bon Voyage, gasper, and Cantina filly
are in. I like the Cantina filly best. Nassau Stakes—
Boundary, Heather Bell, and Carina are in. I like Carine.
Stewards' Cup Spider, Skipjack, La Belle Helene,
Heather Bell, and Bosworth are our lot.

LAMBOURNE.—In the Gratwicke Stakes at Goodwood
Belladrum is engaged, but he will not leave Russley on
this occasion, as he is laid up in lavender just now. Ham
Stakes... We have Sunlight and a filly by Defender out
of Amazonian, but Sunlight will be our best, and he has
only Kingcraft to fear. " The King" must not go to sleep
in the race, as he might get second. Lavant Stakes.—
The filly by Thormanby cut of Masquerade and Sunshine
are in, and I cannot see anything to beat Sunshine.
Steward's Cup.--Vulcan is not class enough. Findon
Stakes.—ldston and Reveller are in, but I cannot stand
either of them. Sweepstakes of 50 sovs.—Crocas will
win. Molecomb Stakes.—We have Macgregor and Sun-
light in. They are both well, but I cannot tell which of
the two will run.
lIEDNESFORD.—I do not think many horses will leave
here for Goodwood, nor do I think we shall have many
out before Wolverhampton. The following aro doing
good work:—lndian Ocean, Catamaran, Whinyard, Ocean
Wave, President Lincoln, Abbotsford, Dean of York,
General Prim, Emily, Masquer, filly by Lifeboat, Edin-
burgh, Jenny Mills, and Nonsense. The others are only
going along steadily, on account of the hardness of the
ground.

STANTON.—The following horses have been rattled
along since my last:—Curio, Ben Block, See-Saw, Salliet,
Jeannie Deans, Lady Evelyn filly (2 yrs), Chamade colt,
Marquis filly, Whist filly, Mont Blanc, Ampleforth,
Parma, Jacqueline colt, Palmitine, Free Trade, and Royal
Read.

LEWES.-At Goodwood we have Lumley and Wanderer
in the Stewards' Cup, but they have handicapped Lumley
out of the race, and Wanderer is not good enough to stand
on. Lavant Stakos—Scarbro' is amiss. Findon stakes
Scarbro' and Elsham are both amiss. Goodwood Stakes—

Provider, Choral, and Young Fenton are in. Ihe old

mare is doing well, but 1 cannot stand her. Provider has
been at work, but it is too late to think of him at this the

eleventh hour.

RICUMOND.—On Tuesday Little Bell and Potash colt
led Bete Noire two miles and a half, fast all the way.
Wednesday.—Bete Noire took two smart canters the
length of the moor, led by Little Bell. Thursday.—
Auchinleck led Bete Noire two miles and a half as fast as
she could go. The Goodwood Stakes candidate went re-
markably well withi❑ himself.

ILBLEr. —At Goodwood, Plaudit, Athena, and Lady
Beaconsfield are in the Stewards' Cup. They are doing
good work and going iu excellent form. Old Plaudit
looks and goes better than ever I saw him since he has
been trained here, and is as tit as a fiddle. Ho will be our
boat. Cap-a-Pio is as well as he can be fur the Chester-
till Cup, but I will say more about him in my next re-
port. Oratava, in the Nursery, SLakes,
is daily doing good work. is a fine eJlt, and
CHILTON. —The following are doing good work:—
Chivalry, Cameroon, Vigilant, Virginia Creeper, Mr Pitt,
Macduff (by Malcolm), horse by Knight of Kars, Slattern
colt, Minus, Alice Maud, Repose, Westward Ho, filly by
Neville, filly by Buccaneer, and Triton.

MADAME TASSA 'S Ex lIIBITION.—The new
Court dresses at this Exhibition are most superb. They
have been purchased, we believe, from the celebrated
house of Worth, of Paris.

" Glorious Goodwood," as it is termed, begins on Tues-
day:-Mie Stewards' Cup is the chief item set for Tues-
day, for which Adelaide, The Orphan, and Xi are the
pick of the best engaged. The Ham and Lavant Stakes
will bring out the two Derby favourites, Kingcraft and
Sunshine, and the former is in danger of defeat, it is
whispered, in the eix-I urlong contest for the rich Ham. The
Levant is only a half-mile race, end here 31r. Meri y will
be at home with Sunshine, who gave Altaic quite a 51b
beating in the July, and should dispose of him again.
Alex. Taylor has a long string that includes Posworth.
La Belle Helene, and Skipjack, and the best will be as
dangerous as anything in the race. So will the pick off
Joseph Dewson's basket, whether it be Tenedos or one of
the lighter weights; and Sir Frederick Johnstone must
be respected with Curiaet, Xi, an..l others to choose between
them. The Goodwood Stakes is of primary importance,
because it has created more noise in the betting world
than the Cup. A more moderate lot, with one or two
exceptions, could not well be collected together. Hence
the prospects of a glutton like Cecil are really good, with
all his weight, and his stable comiauion, Adolphus, has
iun so very badly all through his career that I shy •u:d con-
deetly anticipate the four year old proving the better
animal if if a good jockey were on his back. Chaloner
would have the mount Lad he not been en-
gaged for Alpenstock, one of the early favou-
rites it is impossible to shake from his position, and
such a superior horse, so far as quality is concerned,
that no good judge dare stand against him. Stayer or
not, ho has won longer races than Robespierre, the doings
concerning whom have been too mysterious for me to
and him, great as is my respect for Jeffrey as a jockey
in a long race. Cameron is to mount War, whose com-
plexion is improved by the running of Number Nip at
Knutsford since they met at Carlisle, particularly if the
latter's stable companion BotreNoi. e, is as lame as is
stated. The horse had arrived in London when the
pencil fever attacked him, and the most contradictory
reports were rife concerning him until he started on for
Chichester. Some said he was " sound as a bell ;" others
that he was'"lame as a tree ;" and I incline to the
latter party. At any rate, the money laid against him is
enough to damp the ardour of his most unprejudiced ad-
herents. Should he not be too lame to run, Hudson wills
have to jockey him, and then he will ltiok no better than
Storm King, who may possibly carry extra weight for the
sake of Butler. Miss Gratwicko has immensely improved
in condition in a few weeks, and may carry Hammond al-
most as nearly home as Ilium did last year. Our Mary
Ann is the best handicapped animal in the race, and with
a good jockey on her back, or on that of the Starter, W.
Day and Company would have a chance second to no other
party. The winner, in my opinion, will turn up in either
WAR, ADOLPIIUS, or STARTER. The Goodwood Cup is
almost a certainty for BRIGANTINE, hut I shall expect to
see both Restitution and See Saw close on her heels.
