SPORTING NOTES.

What may be appropriately termed the last legitimate
meeting of the season has just been concluded at Now-
market, and never under more disastrous circumstances
to backers, in fact the reverses they must have mot with
during the last three days have been sufficient to break
the Bank of England. In half a dozen instances
' at least the winners turned up in those animals against
whom tho longest odds wore quoted. The Cambridgeshire
Stakes was not in exact accordance with my anticipations,
selecting Laneret I was not disgraced.
The Chelmsford Autumn Handicap, decided to-morrow,
reads like a certainty for SACCIIAROMETER, and the
NurserY Handicap appears to be an equally good thing
for CATER, unl• ss Mr. Bevill should send a commission
into the market to back BENEVOLENCE, and then I should
fancy her chance. LADY SOPHIE ought to give a good
account of herself in the Betting Handicap Plate.
On Wednesday the County Members' Handicap will
:nost likely be won by LAURA, and I see nothing to beat
COURT CARD for the Innkeepers' Handicap Plate. •
The Worcester Autumn gandicap also takes place on
Tuesday, and I think Musketeer and Goojerat aro most .
favourably handicapped.

For the Nursery Plato Handicap my choice is
BROADROLM, and if defeated, it may be by lIELtom. The
handicap Plato will go to Ummus ; but as regards the
hurdle Race or any other "jumping" events throughout
the week, I must decline giving an opinion.
The Grand Stand Plate, amongst Wednesday's events,
looks in favour of ULPlius or DUET, and it is any odds on
THE STAR if he should be sent for the Autumn Flying
Stakes.

The Lincoln Autumn Handicap has sixteen acceptances,
and of these we may anticipate seeing a moiety at the
post, viz., Regalia or Caithness, Breadalbane. Treasure
Trove, Silenus, Roquefort, Montgubert, ana Aggravator.
Aggravator or Roquefort will most likely furnish the winner.
The Blankaey Stakes will go to SPECULUM or VEDA. The
Johnstone Plate to REINDEEn or ASNSLEY, and the Burton
Stakes to Bloss's representative, probably VESPASIAN.
Mr. Saville will certainly win the Hainton Stakes, run
on Tuesday, if he starts MoLESKIN for it, and as Bloss has
five youngsters engaged in the Aveland Nursery Handi-
cap, none of whom aro unfavourably weighted, he ought
to make a certainty of that stake, but for my own part I
should be content to select VEDA to represent my interests,
as she is a first-class two-year-old.
The weights for the Liverpool Autumn Handicap are
now before me, but, as the acceptances come out on Tues-
day, it is useless my going into any analysis of the weights
until your next publication. Those which attract my at-
tention as best in are The Peer, Pirate Chief, and Primate.
A FRESH MAN.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

THE LONDON 3IAUKET.-SATURDAY.

This being the last day of the Newmarket Houghton
Meeting, the majority of speculators stay to " play the
game out," and the clubs were in consequence, but
meagrely attended. A few small bets were now and then
made on the Liverpool Autumn Cup ; but these are not
worth recording, seeing that the acceptances are due to-
morrow, and also that, as yet, no genuine commission
has been thrown into the market.
