SPORTING NOTES.

The local meetings last week passed off pleasantly.
To-morrow the Bibury Club hold their meeting at
Stockbridge, aid to strengthen their card three
great two-year-old events are taken out of the pro- •
gramme of the " open" gathering, which makes no
earthly difference, as the ground run over is all the
same. These three juvenile items, supposing they
come to a head, will be worth a good eight thousand
guineas in the aggregate, and the Marquis of Hast-
ings having some crack things in each of them,
there will be something additional hanging to their
results. These are not the only great contests to
be decided, several others having to come off before
Friday is over ; and as most of the two-year-old
celebrities, whether of public or private repute,
are engaged in them, the returns will be vastly
important. In one of the 1,000 soya. sweepstakes
—the Donnington—we have Mameluke, who is ru-
moured to be much better than Lady Elizabeth,
which character he can sustain if he is capable of beat-
ing Sir Joseph's selected champion, Blue Gown or
Rosicrucian, to say nothing of lunerdale and the
Duke of Newcastle's birds of promise. As the course
is only five furlongs, there is a chance of Blue Gown
taking the rich prize away from Stockbridge, and
Danebury is not quite certain to retain the richer
one, the Hamilton Sweepstakes, for fillies, Leonie
being a " ruin'un" for even Athena to tackle, and
she might stay the five furlongs best. Innerdale
will be more at home in the Biennial, for which,
however, Mat Dawson has also three of the Duke of
Newcastle's to choose from, and it is the selected of
the stable that will have to be backed (supposing,
of course, the Marquis of Hastings does not " play"
with either Athena or Mameluke) against the Duke
of Beaufort's Herald or Europa, Mr. Chaplin's high-
priced St. Ronau, Sir F. Johnstone's Michael de
Basco, or Banditto, Mr. Merry's Parson, Mr. Thel-
lussou's Black Diamond, or anything else. These
are all animals of repute, and in giving the prefe-
rence to the Beaufort hoops it must be admitted
there is not much to feel confident over. On
Wednesday there is a capital day's racing, com-
mencing with the Biennial, which Vauban should
have no difficulty in securing ; and the Coven-
try Stakes is almost an equal gift for Lady
Elizabeth, if pulled out for it. The Eltham
Plate has one of the best entries of the week,
John Day, William Day, and Alfred Day, as
well as Mat Dawson and Dover, contribUting to
swell the subscription. Lady Elizabeth, however,
is so much superior to the others that she cannot be
beaten. In the Croome Produce, Inuerdale may
perhaps turn up the winner, and in the Beaufort
Handicap it looks to be any odds upon Julius. The
Railway Plate reads to be a good thing for Miller's
Maid, and in the Visitors' Plate Wild Agnes and
Historian strike me as having the call of the others.
On Thursday there is no falling off in the prospect
of the sport, and Lady Eliz ibeth has anotherlg
race before her in the Troy Stakcs.
e Stock-
bridge Cup will drop down to a small field, and
Lord Lyon and Leonie will be found the best for it ;

NOTES

FROM
TRAINING QUARTERS.
THIS DAY.

NEWMARK E T.
The Rake was walking about this morning, but
Joseph Dawson gave Friday, Miss Harriette, and
Guy of Warwick a real good gallop. Cheltenham
and Nine Elms were doing nice work; as were
Roquefort, Primrose, and Ninco Naneo. The
latter will be worth remembering for the Good-
wood Stakes. Lothario galloped over two miles;
and Thalassius, accompanied Archimedes and Leap
Year a similar length. Trombone did over that
distance, but Rama, Blinkhoolie, and Red Shoes
did not go near so far. Leases and Barrington had
a mile and three-quarters gallop.

RICHMOND.
Plaudit continues in the hospital, and there is no
hope of his even starting for the St. Leger. Mol-
davia, Rel Tub, and Hawksley went a beautiful
two-mile gallop this morning; and Blairgowrie took
Newland, Violet, and the Miss Boswell filly a like
distance. El Cid, Imperator, and Bamblekite were
in mile-and-half work, and Geant des Batailles
galloped a mile, as did Chessman and Best of
Three. Sujah Dowlab, Viridior, Chelsea, Gloire,
Orange Blossom, and Quality were trotting only.

ILSLEY.
Dalby went a couple of miles at half speed, and
Buckfoot a mile and a quarter. La Dauphine and
Vandyke galloped over two miles. Aggravator was
spinning along beautifully. Lord Lyon exercised
freely, but Achievement was merely trotting.

MIDDLEIIAM.
Fervasques galloped a mite and three-quarters
to-day, but Lady Vane went two miles and a quar-
ter, her stable companions Tynedale, Mandrake,
and Harrogate doing half a mile less than that.
Braken and Fortunio had a mile and three-quarters
gallop. Fitzroy and Honestish were in steady
work. Osborne cased Deceit a little.

FINDON.
Gilead, I)*`iita, and the Vixen colt had two long
canters this morning, and then a mile and three-

quarters gallop. The latter, it is said, will not go
to Newcastle. Pakrita is sound, and pretty fit,
too ; sho is turned loose in the Goodwood Stakes,
and will be better than Master Willie at the dis-
tanoe, though the latter is a good horse, when
wanted, and will arrive here shortly from Cliff's.

Lord Glasgow his removed all his horses (twenty-nine
in number) from Harloek's to Joseph Dawson's at New-
market.

Bliss, after winning the Hurst Stakes at Hampton on
Thursday, was sold to Mr. Chaplin for 356 guineas.
Dutch Admiral, after winning the West Moulsey Stakes
at Hamptcn. on Thursday, was sold to Mr. J. P. Craven for
115 guineas. •

Bayleaf was sold to Mr. J. Coney for 135 guineas, after
winning the Flying Stakes at Hampton on Thursday.
Catalogue, the winner of a handicap sweepstakes at
Windsor, on Wednesday, was bought in fur 24U guineas.
Tina, after winning a selling stakes at-Windsor, on
Wednesday, was bought in for 125 guineas; and Mr. C.
Brewer claimed Phnt Donna.

Dsusany, after running the dead-heat for the Man-.
chester Tradesmen's Cup, was sold to Colonel Forester,
who had previously been in treaty for Lim.
Star Cross, while running iu the Windsor Summer
Handicap, injured the fetlock joint of his off hind-leg,
which has put an end to his racing career.
Tho following names have been given :—Lord Ponlett's
br. c. by Lord of the Isles, out of The Mon, 2 yrs, Ihnin-
ster ; br. c.-foal by Cramond, out of Medina, Challenger;
br. c.-foal by Cramond, out of Lady Emma, Cramonjale.

THE DUKE OF HAMILTON'S FRIENDS.—Mr. Henry
Padwick, who it appears occupies the somewhat ambigu-
ous position of " Commissioner to his Grace the Duke of
Hamilton, writes to the Times to contradict a rumour to
which we incidentally referred last week. It seems that
"neither Mr Naylor nor any other person has purchased
Hamilton House, nor has his grace sustained a loss on the
turf to render a sale of any portion of his property neces-
sary." This statement must bo very reassuring to the
Duke of Hamilton's friends, and is exceedingly satisfactory
when taken in connection with another announcement in
the Times. In the advertising sheet of-the leading journal
a firm of auctioneers direct attention to " Hamilton Houses
Arlington-street, Piccadilly. The ducal freehold mansion,
magnificent in its proportions and general arrangement;
the reception rooms overlooking the Green Park and
Buckingham Palace, containing every accommodation that
wealth can purchase or luxury desire ;" and proceed to state
that "they have been favoured with instructions from the
noble owner to sell at the New Auction Mart, Tokenhouse-
yard, Lothbury, E.C., on Tuesday, July 23, at two o'clock
precisely (unless an acceptable offer bo made by private
contract), the princely mansion known as Hamilton
House." It is stated in the same advertisement that " the
mansion can be viewed by special order frcm Henry Pad--
wick, Esq., 2, Hill-street, Berkeley-square, W." And we
are further informed that " the purchaser may have the
option of purchasing the magnificent contents of this
princely mansion with the' exception of certain objets
d'art which will be removed."—Imperial Review.
