SPORTING NOTES'.

EPSOM, THURSDAY.

Although The Wizard, my sole representative
for the blue riband, ran second, the readers can have
no great cause to regret my choice. The following
prediction I gave in The Sun on April 10, when
The Wizard was at 14 to 1 :—" Umpire, who for a
long time was under suspicion, has pleased the ev-
noseenti 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. He 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."

From the foregoing remarks it will be seen that
my opinion of the Yankee horse has been fully
realised. Mr. Merry has landed an immense stake
over Thormanby, who won easily. For the Oaks
I shall expect to see RUPEE and SECLUSION first
and second. John Scott will supply the third with
either Viatka or Sagittar

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

Compared with Monday a most important change has
taken place in the trade here to-day. Prices have given
way considerably, and much heaviness has prevailed in the
demand. The supply of beasts was large, and all kinds
changed hands slowly, at from 4d to 6d per Sibs less money.
Sheep came somewhat freely to hand, and the inquiry for
them was heavy, at 4d to 6d per 81bs decline. Lambs were
a dull inquiry, and the currencies gave way 4d to Gd per
81bs. Calves were 4d to 6d lower, with a full average num-
ber on offer. The pork trade was in a depressed state, on
easier terms ; but for milch cows the inquiry was tolerably
firm.
