SPORTING NOTES.

THE BATH MEETING.

Time will not permit me to place before the reader
my remarks on the recent Chester Meeting, or to point
out the influence which the running on the Roodee
exercised over the Derby betting. On those particulars
I purpose to touch to-morrow, and at present I shall
merely limit my notes to the Bath meeting. Tba attrac-
tions of the programme, and the quiet businesslike regu-
larity with which the proceedings are conducted, are
not the only inducement for racing men to a,semble in
the city of King Bladrid, for there is the possibility of
many important changes being made in the Derby price
current. Should those changes occur I. shall take an
early opportunity of referring to them at length.
Six races will be deci led each day, and the field will
be satisfactory enough as to number, if not aito quality.
I-aac Day may win the Lansdowne Stakes with either
Jesuit or King Cob. If Ancient Briton go to the post
for the Biennial Stakes,. he must win easily to sustain
his Derby reputation. Should his party, however, deem
discretion the better part of valour, Sunbeam will, per-
haps carry Mr. Merry's colours first pass the post.
East Langton showed in such improved form at
Chester that I am induced to tru,t him for the Sower-
setshire Stakes. For the Free Handicap I shall select
Forget-me-not and Polly Johnson, and the Members'
Plate I assign to Shirai'. To-morrow, Wednesday's
racing, and the coming Derby shall be fully discussed
by A FRESH. MAN.
