SPORTING NOTES.

There are two handicaps to be decided yet before
the racing season may be said to have drawn to a
close, namely, the Liverpool Autumn Handicap and
the Shrewsbury Cup.
Fur the Liverpool Cup there has been a very great
deal of betting. Sir Joseph Hawley's lot, before
the flag falls, will no doubt be backed against the
field. Siderolite has been first favourite ever since
the handicap appeared, but is now scratched,
Lictor and Blue Gown have also come in for
a good share of support. The latter has a very
fishy appearance
,et preseat. Mr. Hodgman
has both Van Ambuigh and John Davis engaged.
The latter is too slow, but the former will render a
good account of himself, if he does not absolutely
win. George Osbaldeston has too much weight,
and cannot give a horse like Walmer 251 b. Fair-
wind, Argyle, Flora, and Cocoa Nut are sure to
run well, but I must rely on Argyle, Sir Joseph's
intended, and Van Amburgh to pull me through.
A FRESH MAN.
