SPORTINt .24 NOTES.

The Yorkshire Oaks lies between Victoria and Man.
ganese, who may pass the •rvinning cbair in an in
verse order to that in which I have set down their

' names.
Blink 133nny will, of course, win We Convivial StakeF,
albeit, it is said, she`will meet a clipper in the dark
Lady Hawthorne, 'who will have 51133. the best of the
weights.
If Fandangs be not a cripple he will lead his oppo-
nents a pretty dance for the Burgundy Stakes.
Vindex, Assayer, and Maid of Derwentshall represent
my interest for the Chesterfield Handicap.
The only " feature" in the betting on the Ebor Handi-
cap has been the introduction of Courtenay to a promi-
nent position, and the " finessing" with regard to Mr.
Howard's horses, Coroner and Yellow Jack. I shall
not attempt to " calculate the chances," but shall
merely state my deliberate conclusion, founded en
a careful examination of the public performances, that
either CORONER or LADY T&TTON will be the winner.
Courtenay stands next in my estimation, albeit I hare
well-founded doubts as to his staying ability.
Unless there be something very good amongst the
" dark lot" either Sprig of Shillelagh or Saunterer will,
win the Prince of Wales' Stake 3.
Zuyder Zee ought to win the Biennial Stakes for two-
year-olds to justify the expectations which have been
entertained of him.
Artillery may win The Ebor St. Leger.
The Eglinton Stakes I assign to Theodora or Double
Glo'ster.
The Great Yorkshire Stakes is the only event which
I shall touch upon in Friday's list, and shall give my
unconditional adherence to Fazzoletto.

TATTERS ALL'S.-MONDAY.

The advent of the York meeting was-marked by no
movement of ints rest. Indeed, speculation was never
so inactive, and not until late were we enabled to
compile anything like a correct list of quotations,
Few genuine transactions came under our notice ; a
system of flash betting has, however, recent'y started
up, which is not only pernicious in its tendency, hut
discreditable to those persons who adopt it. No little
discrimination is required now-a.days to separate the
bona fide transactions from those which.. aro made for
the purpose of riging., the market.

EBOR TIANDicP.--:Beth Mr. lioward's horses, Coro-
ner and Yellow Jack, were under considerable suspicion
—lO to 1 to 50/. was once betted against the former,
but doubts were entertained of the genuineness of the
transaction—doubts which were confirmed when the
layer of those odds was seen, in a few minutes after-
wards, anxious to obtain 6 to 1 about the horse. At
last 5 to 1 was booked to a "poney," the taker being
desirous to extend his investment at 6 to 1. Yellow
Jack was quite friendless. Conrtenay was backed for
251. at 8 to 1-3 to 1 was the highest offer on the

ST. LEGER.—In the City, during the morning, El•
lington and Fazzoletto were backed for upwards of 300/.
They were not touched this afternoon.
The subjoined scanty list of quotations will iniica`9
the nature and extent of the business transaction:•.:—

TEE ALADDIN CASE.—Aladdin, the winner of the
Severnalce Forest Stakes, at Marlborough ani of the
Cleveland Cup, at Wolverhampton, was objected to for
both those events, on the grounds that his pediwree was
incorrectly stated. The case will be investigated on the
fint day of the Warwick meeting by the Stewards of
Alarlb:Tough and Wolverhanipton races.

THE ENCOUNTJ .4:318 ON EBOR.
Now is the winter of clic. disc intent
Made glorious summer• b y the sun of York. •
r the tun of York '47 ill shine oui, cheerily on
the Knaves:l)4s: ,eems sornea hat doubtful, for at my
present writing the rain drizzl, es down heavily, and the
atmosphere is as raw and as iold as it is in black No-
vember. Still the heavy wet, accompanied with its cold
without, has produced a most . softening And beneficial
effect on the running ground , which a correspondent
Oescribed to me last week as b eing as hard as brick-bats
Mr. North, the ever-vigilant . and eoutious C.C., has
been actively employed in so .perintending the arrange-
ments for conducting efficiently the business of the

meeting, and under his direct ion everything appears to
go on swimmingly. The pr ogramme really presents
quite a formidable array of Pla to and Stakes, and it is a
matter of time and patient' e to wade through the
long lists of nominations wl dch are appended to the
principal events. All perso 'ns agree op one point,
viz., that, however limited speculation may he, it
is impossible to overrate -the interest and importance
which attach to the leading encounters. The three-
years-old races may afford' • a deep insight into the
St. Leger mysteries, and I ,shall not be surprised if
they introduce vile new and formidable favourites
into the market for the great . Doncaster event.
lam running a race with time, being desirous of
leaving London for York by the 7.1 o'clock train,
and am therefore compelled -to make use of that most
convenient kind of wit whit h an eminent authority
calls brevity.

Neither Ellington nor Faz zoletto is likely to be
brought cut for the North and South Biennial Stakes,
and the race therefore is in car tain quarters deemed a
" certainty" for Rogerthorpei. Still, should West
Langton and Brother to Bird on the Wing enter the
lists against him, his- paitisanst will dog well to reserve
their shouting until the race is over.
