SPORTING NOTES.

Messrs. Topham have good cause to congratulate
themselves on the successful result of the Liverpool Meet-
ing, which was wound up on Friday last with the Autumn
Cup. A dozen at least of the eighteen competitors en-
joyed more or less of the public confidence, and it may
he set down as one of the most exciting contests of the
year. An unfortunate scrimmage, however, took place
amongst the leading horses on rounding the turn into the
straight run home, which may have altered the result.
There can be no question that the Corporal, backed by his
trainer for a large stake, and with whom his owner de-
clared to win, looked very d tuvroas at this paint, an I
was nearly knocked off his legs. I am quite satisfied he
is a bettor horse than his stable companion, and wilt soma
day prove it in public as well as in private. Capt. Machell
Is considered one of the cleverest tacticians on the turf,
but he certainlylost this race through an error of judgment
in putting 41b more on Knight of the Garter than it was
necessary for him to carry. With 7st 61b on his back there
can be very little doubt he would have won easily, and it
is my opinion that had Admiral Rous been consulted as
to the effect of so much extra weight would have the
mistake would not have made. Surely either S Adams,
ffuxtable, Peppier, Jarvis, or Maidment, who did not ride
in the race, would have been efficient substitutes.

Mr. John Frail's programme of Shrewsbury Novembar
Meeting is attractive, as usual, and promises to be the
largest and one of the most aristocratic reunions of the
season.

The Shrewsbury Cup is run for on Tuesday, but is not
likely to produce a large field, several of the horses being
out of it, according to Friday's running. Tho most
dangerous appear to be Rama, Harry Brailsfot d, War,
Seville, and Orne. As I do not know what tactics may
be adopted relative to Rama, who is sure to be first
favourite the moment an attempt is made to back
him, ORNE or SEVILLE must represent my interests, and
whichever goes for DREWITT'S stable is worth backing
for a place. In the Battlefield Handicap SACCRAROMETER
ought to give a good account of himself, and if defeated it
might be by GREY STOCKING. I prefer the chance of
LIDDINGTON for the Wrekin Stakes.

One of the best things of the meeting, I think, is SUN-
DEELAH for the Shobdott Cup on Wednesday, provided of
course he starts for it. It is impossible to say what the in -
tentions of owners may be, but Acria.k. and CAPTAIN
KIDD aro nicely weighted for the Column Ilanlimp, espe-
cially the latter, if he has recovered his 2-yr-old form. Tho
Monkmoor Handicap is only half a mile scramble, in which
I expect to soo ZISCA and DULCET figure most conspicu-
ously, but Thermometer should not bo overlooked, as ho
is turned loose. I shall depon-I upon CHIVALRY, NOR-
THERN STAR, or WAR QUEEN winning the Copeland
Nursery.

On Thursday, for The Hawkstone Welter Cup, the
Duc DE BOURGOGNE and ORNE are not badly in, nor have
the owners of PATRICIAN, PAIN'S HILL, and BALSAM° any-
thing to complain of for The Caldecot Nursery. Knoinr
OY THE GARTER, who escapes a penalty, should have no
difficulty in winning The Newport Gull Cup. The
Hurdle Race I would rather not interfere with, and a; all
the stakes at present closed in Friday's programme aru
"jumping" events, I must decline giving an opinion.

LATEST FROM SHREWSBURY. —S day Night. —T here
are over 120 horses here at the present time; the course

is capital going, and Mr. Frail has got everything in
apple-pie order. The town is full of racing ►ueu—.the cry

is still they come; and the first words you hear from the

fresh arriguls are, " Where can we get beds?" nearly every
available place for man and horse having been secured
There is ground let for abuut 150 Punch and Judy boxes
and about 50 of them wero being erected this morning, so
that the gentlemen who come from Wales must bo seen
to, or they will most likely get the best of the Salopians.
Blair Athol's subscription is full.
Landlord, 4 yrs, has been sold to go abroad.
Changeable, 3 yrs, has been re-named Virginia Creepor.
We regret to hear that Fuller Andrews, jun., died on
Friday morning at Newmarket after a few days' illness.
The assumed name of Mr. Elward has been registered ;
his colours are blue and white hoop.

Love in a Mist was bought in fur 80 gs after winning
the Selling Steeplechase at Liverpool on Friday.
lona, 3 yrs, winner of the Selling Stakes at Liverpool
on Friday, was bought by Mr. Scott for GOgs.
Oldminster was bought in for 65gs, after winning the
Selling Steeplechase at Harrow on Friday.
Red Rose, 5 yrs, winner of the Selling Steeplechase at
Harrow on Thursday, was bought in for llogs.
Atreus, winner of the Grand Stand Stakes at Liverpool
on Thursday, was sold to Mr. R. J. West for 200 gs.
Phantom Sail, 3 yrs, was sold to Mr. Price for 55gs
after winning the Selling Stakes at Liverpool ou Thurs-
day.

But little has been done during the week on next
year's Derby, the only transactions of importance that
have come under notice being 5,000 to 300 about Green
Sleeve, and 700 to 100 about Lady Elizabeth. An offer of
1,500 to 100 against Pace did not find a customer.
We understand that Mr. Jackson, of Fairfield, has been
ordered abroad for the winter, for the benefit of his health.
Mr. Thomas Parrington will take oharge of the stud dur-
ing his absence.
Sir Joseph Hawley has taken the Lichfield Downs,
near Newbury, lately occupied by Lord Portsmouth,
where Buccaneer and other celebrities were trained. It is
said to be ono of the finest training grounds in England.
REFRACTORY JOCKEYS.—At Harrow, on Thursday, Mr.
George Cottrell reported Marsh, A. Spencer, and Peufold,
for disobedience at the starting post in the Selling Stakes.
The stewards severely reprimanded them, and fined Marsh
£2, and A. Spencer and Penfold £1 each.
The following is a list of the principal winning jockeys
in 1867 :—Butler, 404 mounts 92 wins; J. Cameron, 392
mounts 79 wins ; T. Cannon, 304 mounts 57 wins ;.H.
Custance, 168 mounts 41 wins; T. Challoner, 247 mounts
49 wins; H. Covey, 247 mounts 45 wins; J. Daley, 151
mounts 44 wins; A. Edwards, 122 mounts 46 wins; G.
Fordham, 386 mounts 142 wins ; T. French, 146 mounts
31 wins; limitable, 163 mounts 17 wins; S. Kenyon, 406
mounts 101 wins; Loates, 104 mounts 33 wins; S. Mor-
dan, 264 mounts 51 wins; Peppier, 254 mounts 40 wins;
Parry, 185 mounts, 26 wins ; J. Snowden, 130 mounts 33
wins.

THE MARQUIS OF HASTINGS.—There is not the slightest
truth in the statements which appeared in a letter, signed
" Hotspur," in a daily contemporary of Friday, that " The
finance agent who was intrusted with the management of
the Duke of Hamilton's affairs will also take the Marquis
of Hastings's matters in hand, with a view to retrench-
ment ;" and that " The rumours concerning the Marquis
of Hastings's stud are correct." In the first place, the
gentleman in question has not even been applied to ; and
in the second, the ordinary occurrence of a nobleman being
about to weed his stud is hardly one which " the racing
public will hear with regret !"—Sporting Gazette.
LATEST ARRIVALS FROM FRANCE.—Four celebrities, or
perhaps we should more fitly say " notorieties," made their
appearance at Harrow yesterday, and in their own parti-
cular sphere created a sensation. We allude to Messrs.
Jones and Company—the firm comprising four (warm)
" members" who were convicted of welshing, and sen-
tenced to something like a year's imprisonment last season
in Franco. We carefully inspected this precious band of
rascals—to wit, Monsieur Jones, Mr. Roach, " Toby," and
" a pal" of theirs, whose name we have not the pleasure of
knowing, and can heartily compliment our allies the
French on their humane mode of treating British criminals.
Monsieur Jones alone of the four looks the worse for wear,
but as he- always was an exquisite, and hair-dye and ban-
doline are not included among the allowances meted out
to the occupants of a French prison, one cannot wonder
his plumage should look:less glossy than in days of yore.
The quartette received quite an ovation from their brethren,
and when urged to begin business they deciined, and stated
that they would not re-open accounts until Shrewsbury.
At Shrewsbury, mayhap, they may encounter a " warmer"
reception from Inspector Tanner and his corps than
they met with from their confreres at Harrow.—The Sports-
man.

Much interest has attached itself to the game of
La Crosse since the visit of Capt. Johnson's Indian
troop to the metropolis, and there aro strong signs of its
taking root among our Athletes. The Blacki.eathians are
about forming a club for the pursuit of the game; and the
Richmondites, determined to be first in tho field, have ac-
tually appointed Satuday, the 16th, to play the game, the
sides being chosen from members enrolled under the title
of the Richmond La Crosse Club. The officers are E.
Cobham, Esq., hon. secretary and treasurer, Rolford House,
Hill Rise, Richmond, S. W.; Edwin H. Ash, P. A. Ash,
B. Bull, W. B. Chapala!), C. J. P. Lawrell, and W. Pigott,
Esqs., form the committee. Professor Roberts, manager
of Capt. Johnson's La Crosse troupe, will bo in attend-
ance to instruct the membJrs. The professor can be hoard
of at 30, Burton-street, Burton-crescent.

A large theatre, called Arene Athletique, has
been fitted up in Paris, and it seems to be quite the rage to
attend the wrestling matches that take plane there. The
men wrestle catch-weight, and somewhat in the north-
country style ; the fall is for both shoulders to touch, and
any ono choosing to try their powers against any man be-
longing to this arena can bo on, to any amount they please,
from £lO to £2O a-side, or more. They boast that they
can fell, and have done so, our host men in England. The
men belonging to this arena are almost all from the south
of France—about Marseilles—and seem to be first-rate
wrestlers, but do not attach any importance to weight,
which seems: to be all catch-weight.
