There is a moderate business doing in our market, and'

place in the quotations. P.Y.C., on the spot, is selling at
525, with buyers during the last three months at 52s 6d per
cwt. ; rough fat, 2s 9d per Blbs.

SPORTING NOTES.

The result of the races lAst week has not thrown muoh
light on the great event to be decided next week at Don-
caster. Thormanby still maintains the premiership in the
betting, and opinions are greatly divided between the
Whitewell representatives, The Wizard and Sweetsauce ;
but John Scott has got such a fine string of horses in this
year's Leger that it is difficult to guess which will be the
Simon Pure on the day. However, if he has got a better
horse than Sweetsauce in his team, he will have no difficulty
in adding another Leger to his lucky stable. If an outsider
should show his respects first to the judge, it will be either
the much neglected Buccaneer, or Tom Bowline.

The meetings to be held this week are Warwick, Derby,
Kelso, Rochester and Chatham, Totnes and Bridgetown,
Weymouth, and Littlehampton, to only the former of which
does much importance attach. Mr. Merry has, considering
the many calls recently made upon horseflesh, and that the
meeting takes place on the eve of the St. Leger, produced a
wonderful bill of fare, having secured for the nine races
already closed unprecedently large entries, the only failur e
being the Leamington Stakes, for which 14 only out of the
63 horses handicapped remained in.

The meeting commences on Tuesday with seven items in
the list, three of which have yet to be named for, the Trial
Stakes, Her Majesty's Plate, and the Racing Stakes, all of
which close this afternoon. The first of the closed events to
claim attention is the Leamington Stakes, to which Moura-
vieff has been accorded the post of honour so unenviable
in a handicap. Wild Rose, Royal Sovereign, and the
Greek are let loose, and I shall expect one of them to fur-
nish the winner.

In the Castle Park Stakes (three quarters of a mile) there
are 12 two-year-olds engaged, including The Conqueror,
Flirtation, and Voltella, who are each penalised 41b. Ac-
cording to the recent running of East Stanley, whom the
latter beat along with several others in a canter at Good-
wood in the Ham, Voltella must prove a dangerous antago-
nist to the former pair.

For the Shorts Handicap 27 horses are weighted, includ-
ing nine two year olds, the imposts on which are not very
favourable to their success. Those for which I have most
fancy are Romsey and Marquise.

The twenty-four nominations to the Cup include repre-
sentatives of every age, but the three-year-olds of course
preponderate, and were we assured of the most noted of the
latter—Sweetsauce, Wallace, Crater, Horror, Avalanche,
Ben Webster, First Lord, and Convivialist—reaching the
starting post, the race would certainly be one of surpassing
interest. However, as it is likely that only Wallace, Crater,
and Avalanche of the above will throw down the gauntlet.
to Tournament, Starke, and Mouravieff, we must be con-
tent with the contest between them, and in whieh,
doubtless, some of the smaller fry will join, of which
Barabbas and the filly by Surplice out of New Forest
Deer will have no inconsiderable advantage in the
weights ; nevertheless there is little probability of either
.performing sufficiently well to affect the result, 'which,
in the absence of Sweetsauce, I expect will be carried of by
Mouravieff or Wallace.

Of the 34 horses weighted for the County Cup, the fol-
lowing half dozen—Orlanda, 4 yrs, 7st 101 b ; Romsey, 4
yrs, Est 121 b ; Tyrant, 3 yrs, 6st 51b ; Emblem, 4 yrs, betl2lb ; Vouralak, 3 yrs, sst 101 b ; and the filly by Annan_
dale out of Margery, 3 yrs, sst 91b—have not much to com-
plain of in the weights apportioned to them, and I prefer
the chances of Romsey and Tyrant.

Next week I shall enter into an analysis of the horses
engaged in the Leger.

otE STEPNEY MURDER.—The detectives em-
..sieyed to unravel, if possible, this mysterious murder, have
apparently come to a dead lock, and up to a late hour on
Saturday night they had not obtained any clue to the mur-
derer, but they have not 'given up all hope of bringing him.
to justice. The police still remain in possession of tire
house, 9, Grove-road, and unless some blood ralations of
the murdered woman come forward and prove their claim, it
is expectnd that the property will be administered to and
claimed on behalf of the Crown. On Saturday evening
some information was received at one of the station-houses
of the K division, and a couple of detectives were
thspatched, via the Tilbury Railway, to a town a iew miles
from London ; and in an hour afterwards a telegraph was
received, "Not to be found," so the hopes of the police were.,
again disappointed.
