SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

VICTORIA CLUB BETTING—Tins DAT.

The main feature of the doings to-day was in
connection with the Ebor Handicap, for which there
was an evident commission out in favour of Bees wing,
who soon advanced to be equal favourite with
Bradamante. Both of the Danebury mares were
at one time in request, but towards the close
Gomera alone met with support, which was freely
accorded, as below. Fortunio was often named,
but Goodwood seemed almost friendless. Challenge
was not in strong request, but did not appear to be
altogether " gone." The other quotations will be
found below, together with some few on the St.
Lager, for which Hermit was very firm. Au con-
traire, Vauban "shaky." Marksman also was
freely batted against :

(From the Newmarket Correspondent of the Racing Times.)
The racing of the past week has been anything but
pleasant to the regular habitues of the Turf, and what with
being par boiled at Egham, choked with coal dust and
heat at Wolverhampton, and nearly drowned at Oxford,
rendered it one of the most miserable racing weeks I ever
remember. There was some good sport at Egham and
Oxford for most of the races, but there were one or two
glaring cases of roping at gala= on the first day, which
the gallant Admiral would probably notice. The class of
horses wo have had running lately, with a few excep-
tions, are very moderate, but I suppose the good ones,
if there are any, are kept in the back ground for the
Autumn Handicaps. There were some surprises at Stock-
ton, as no one expected to see Taraban beat Tynedale.
The owner of the latter should now be satisfied that he has
overrated his horse, and must see what a chance he missed
in not running him for the Goodwood Stakes, whore he
could not have failed to beat the wretched lot who contested
for that event. Those who assert that Vauban will turn
the tables on Hermit in the St. Leger must begin to feel
uncomfortable on that score, as we all saw him extended
to beat Tynedale in the Goodwood Cup, and old Moulsey
ran away from the latter at Brighton. How would J. Day
try Vauban and Moulsey together? That is the question.
For my own Wart I shall not be surprised to see Julius
finish before Vauban at Doncaster, as the Duke of New-
castle's horse is ono of the most improved animals in
training. As I told your readers before the Two Thou-
sand and Derby he was too light then to have any
pretensions to win a great race ; but from the great im-
provement he has made lately, and from his running in
the Lewes Handicap with Bst. 21b., I must recommend
him as a safe place investment for the St. Leger; but as
long as Hermit keeps well he will beat him and every-
thing else that he will have to meet this year. I have
cause to be proud of my selections last week, as I placed
first and second for the Wolverhampton Stakes, and
selected Uncas for both his races ; and those who fol-
lowed my advice would got a good price about him, as
lie started at 6to 1. I also selected Beauty for the Nur-
sery, Amanda colt for the Cleveland Cup, and La
Dauphine for the Surrey and Middlesex Stakes
at Egham. I only hope I may b 3 as fortunate at
York, where all the touts and tipsters have been
floored to a man for the last two years, and many backers
were broke by laying odds on what they considered
certainties. It was there the great Rustic received his
Coup de grace for the St. Leger; in fact favourite after
favourite got bowled over until tne backers ware nearly
all settled. There are eight closed races for Wednesday,
and most of them rich stakes. The Old Three Year Old
Produce Stakes will fall to Mr. Merry by the aid of the
filly by Dundee out of Blanche of Middlobie. There are
55 nominations for the Convivial Stakes, and the best public
performer is Trogeagle, and unless Mr. Merry has a good
dark one, Lord Falmouth's smart colt will heat all the
others. The Eleventh North of England Biennial Stakes
is worth over £7OO, and should Hermit put in an appear-
ance he will win, if not Vauban will place this rich stake
to the credit of his noble owner.. There are a bad lot of
fillies in the Yorkshire Oaks, and if Romping Girl
is in form she will have little difliculty in placing
this stake to the credit of her owner. The Black Duck
Stakes, worth over ;3,900,ia forfeits alone, will fall to the
Duke of Beaufort's Herald, and Lord Glasgow will win
tho Burgundy Stakes with Brother to Bird on the Wing.
The Chesterfield Handicap has a good entry, and no doubt
will produce a largo field. I have no fancy for any of the
top weights until I come to Westwick, nor should I have
named him, only I dreamt that he won a race at York ; but
as a dream is only a shadow, I must look somewhere else
for the winner. It would be only a waste of time for me
to go through the performances of all the horses engaged
in this race, as they are a moderate lot; and whichever
Joseph Dawson runs, Friday or Miss Harriette will win,
that is, if ho thinks this stake worth going for. They
are both well, and will win a good race before
the year is over. The last time I saw them gallop they
ran clean away from Guy of Warwick, the then quondam
favourite for the Goodwood Stakes. Should Mr. Pryor
prefer keeping them for something better Ischia must be
my next choice. The Filly Sapling Stakes will be won by
Witchcraft or Lady Highthora. Europa will win the
Twelfth North of Eagland Biennial. Blinkhoolie will win
the Ebor St. Leger if he runs ; if not, Lochaber will be
best to stand on. The Prince of Wales's Stakes looks
a good thing for Idalia ; and the R twain Stakes will be
wen by Philosopher. Twenty-four horses have cried
content for the Ebor Handicap, but I have no fancy for any
of the top weights until I come to Bradamante, as John
Day can have no chance with any of his lot. Gemara
certainly won the Goodwood Stakes, beating a wretched
lot of horses. Beaming has plenty of weight, but, no
doubt she will be a great favourite, as the pub-
lic will follow the Squire, but in my opinion
she can't beat Bradamante. Ackworth has been
troubled with the slows for a long time. I once had a
great fancy for Sealskin, but 1 am afraid he can't stay two
miles. I shall be surprised if ho does not obtain a situation
in this company. Treasure Trove I know nothing of.
Raglan has lost the little form he once possessed. Chal-
lenge is a good fair horse, but not up to Leger form, and I
think Mr. Porter will not consider him well enough in
here to put the- prices down so freely as he did at Hun-
tingdon. The Peer is a bad horse, and the Amanda colt
has earned a reputation lately; but I don't fancy him in
this company, as John Davis and Moose got too close to
him at Goodwood in the Queen's Plate. Major Stapyltons
horse is well in, and is worth notice,
ably in the Northumberland Plate, and won the Cumber-
land land Plate the week after. As I know there is some goodwi
money on him, I must therefore couple FAIRWIND
ace.
