THE CROWN PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF PRUSSIA,
—The Prince and Princess of Prussia will visit the Prince
and Princess of Wales at Sandringham about the middle
of October, and on the Queen's return from Scotland the
Prince and Princess of Prussia will pay a visit to the Queen
at Windsor. Preparations are being made in the York
und Lancaster Towers for the reception of their Roya
Highnesses.—The Court Journal.
On Friday a squadron of the 15th Hussars, num-
bering four officers, 105 men, and 107 horses, under
the command of Captain Tenfold, arrived at Col-
chester from Alderahott, en route for Ipswich, where
they are to be quartered. A dismounted party of
the same regiment, consisting of 13 men, 12 women,
ana 20 children, reached Ipswich on Friday. The
headquarters of the regiment, and one squadron
numbering nine officers, 55 men, and 82 horses will
be stationed at Norwich, where they are expected
to arrive tomorrow. Another dismounted party
numbering five officers, 112 men, 20 women, and
44 children, will aso arrive at Norwich to-day.

MARKETS.--This day.

MARK LANE.

The supplies of wheat brought forward in the country
markets held on Saturday were only moderate. Ou the
whole, the demand ruled steady at rull prices. All kinds
of spring corn, as well as flour, were very firm.
Through Out the Continent wheat and all other kinds of
produce have changed hands at extreme quotations. In
America both wheat and flour aro selling on higher terms.

The imports of foreign and colonial produce into London
last week were 15,402 quarters of wheat, 3,059 barley,
30,019 oats, 2,282 bears, 05 pas, 2 tares, 7,912 linseed,
11,981 rapeseed, 3,447 maizs, 235 sundries, and 2,684 sacks
of flour.

The arrival of Ent;lish wheat fresh up to our market to-
day, coastwise and by laud-carriage, were on a very
moderate s'.7ale. For most kinds the demand was far from
active, nevertheless in most instances prices were 2, per
quarter higher than on Monday last. However, a total
clearance of the stands was not effected.

Floatiug cargoes of grain were held for more money.
The show of both English and foreign barley was
limited. All descriptions changed hands steadily, at very
full prices.
We have to report a slow inquiry for malt, the supp'y of
which was tolerably good, at late rates.
_ _

Wo were tolerably well, but not to say heavily supplied
with foreign wheat. On the whole sales progressed
steadily at 2s. per quarter over the rates current on this
day annight.
Tho sale for peas was steady, at extreme rates.
Both English and foreign flour commanded very full
prices.
Oats were the tutu dearer, although the supply was
good.
Beans were quite as dear as last week. A few samples
of new were on offer in very middling condition.

SPORTING NOTES. 7,

There are meetings to be hold this week at Northamp-
ton, Bedford, Bridgwater, and Edinburgh, but the usual
amount of clashing takes place, as the races at Bed ord
and Bridgwater occupy the same days. There is par-
ticular necessity for fixtures in the sister coun+ .y to bo
arranged in accordance with ours, but, as I have several
times urged in those columns, it will be a great benefit
when the Jockey Club authorities think proper to come
forward, which 1 believe they are likely to do, and make
regulations by which clerks of courses shall be guided in
arranging the dates of their different meetings. It is un-
derstood they intend dividing the race gatherings into
two classes, and will not take cognisance of any disputes
that may arise at those places which aro in the second class
category. Amongst them will be placed all those mushroom
speculations which "live and have their being" from gate
money. The promoters of such undertakings, which are in
fact "got up" entirely from mercenary motives, have no
interest in the advancement of sport, and ought to receive
their "quietus" at the earliest possible moment. This
would be speedily effected by a rule of the Jockey Club
preventing any horses that started at such places from
running at Newmarket, or any meeting under their juris-
diction. It is to be hoped that the gallant Admiral, who
has done such wonders for the improvement of the Turf,
will come to the rescue and assist in the proposed reform;
sad at the same time it would be an appropriate period to
take into consideration the advantages to be derived from
"timing races," which, if carried out at headquarters,
would be speedily adopted throughout the country. There
can be very little doubt that if competition were invited,
plenty of ingenious methods would be suggested, accom-
panied by offers to be responsible for the proper working
of the chronograph, or whatever mechanical contrivance
might be selected. I sincerely hope some of the benefits
likely to accrue from the carrying out of this pl4n, both to
handicappers, owners; end trainers, may occur to Admiral
Roue, because then there would to every prospect of its
being inaugurated with the first Newmarket Meeting next
season.
At Northampton the Autumn Handicap, run on Tuzs-
day, has an indifferent lot engaged, of which I expect to see
VIOLENT Or NUTRITION turn out the best. WILD BLOOD
must be my recommendation for the Maiden Plate.
For the Ecton Handicap Plate Mr. PITT, if ho has not
lost all his form, ought to win, and to him or JEANNIE
DEANS I shall leave the race. The Two-Year Old Handi-
cap looks a good thing for Lord Westmorland, probably
with HERM:iII:ICS, next to whom I fancy Buss; but
Seaman, who is also engaged in the Harleston Nursery
next day, and in the Sportsmen's Nursery Handicap at
Edinburgh, will most likely win ono of the events, as ho
was backed by a clover division for some money at Don-
caster. The Oottesbrooke Park Stakes will go to CArroN,
but the Wotton Park Handicap is beyond my ken.
On Wednesday, in the Harleston Nursery Handicap I
see nothing to beat CORNET or MAESDERWEN, and for the
Fawsley Plate nay choice is AMOUR PROPRE. For the
Northampton Handicap GILEAD, who is getting into good
form, and is sure to stay the distance, looks most trust-
worthy; butVIoLENT, with her light impost, should be very
troublesome to the winner. Catalogue ought to give a
good account of herself in the Corporation Stakes.
The Lothians Racing Club and Edinburgh Meeting also
begins on Wednesday. The handicapping for the princi-
pal race on that day—the Lothian Handicap--does not
seem to have given general satisfaction, as out of 114 sub-
scribers only 21 have accepted. Regalia is by no means
out of the race, and as Friday incurs a 101 b. penalty, Miss
Harriette will probably represent Joseph Dawson's stable,
and of the three year olds I prefer Lord Hastings.
For the Buccleuch Handicap on Thursday I prefer the
chance of BARMAID. Should THE PARSON run for the
Sportsmen's Nursery Handicap I should look nowhere else
for the winner, but should he be an absentee, Muss Os-
BORNE must be my selection.
The only race run on Friday that I think it desirable to
advise upon is the Edinburgh Handicap, which appears to
be Cgift to VERULAM if he starts.
The Bedfordshire Stakes, which takes place on Thurs-
day, the first day of Bedford races, will be won by MoosE
or MONITRESS. The Woburn Park States is a good thing
for COUP D'ECLAT. CONFEDERATE Or COURT CARD ought
to win the Southill Stakes, and LIDDINGTON should have
no difficulty in winning the Elstow Stakes, and his
penalty in that case will not stop him on Friday from
winning the Handicap Sweepstakes. He is also well in in
the Scurry Handicap, but KING OF SPADES is my prefer-
ence. In the Stratton Park Nursery Handicap LORD
PALMERSTON and BENEVOLENCE will take a great deal of
beating.
The principal stake run for during the two days at
Bridgwater is the West Somerset Handicap in Friday's
programme, and for it VANDYKE will probably turn out
the successful candidate.
Betting throughout the week has not been very prolific
of changes for the two groat Autumn Handicaps. Lothario
was tried on Thursday morning, and as ho acquitted him-
self satisfactorily is freely backed for the Cesarowitch.
Tormentor is nibbled at, but no less than 50 to 1 is taken.
Julius continues firm at 30 to 1, and, what should be
more agreeable to his backers, is persistently supported by
his noble owner at that price. Blinkhoolie has had a host
of supporters at 10 to 1, and even less than that price, but
it is rather ominous that his owner appears to back him to
win large sums at 20 to 1 for the Cambridgeshire in pre-
ference to this race, and as I do not believe Mr.
Chaplin has at present any money invested on him
for the long race, your readers should be very cautious
in meddling with him, or they will very likely burn their
fingers. Romping Girl is one of the principal heroines of
the week, she having been purchased by Lord Westmor-
land, and supported by him with such spirit that there is
a great probability she will be selected to represent his
'lordship's interests on the day. Apart from having been
backed extensively at the subscription rooms at New-
market every day, the oßner took the odds against her, on
the Cambridge platform last Friday, to win him about
£15,000. Montgoubert, on the strength of Trocadero's
running, I presume, in the St. Leger and October Handi-
csps, has become a rattling favourite, 10 to 1 being ac-
cepted to all the money that can be obtained. Sportsman
and Prosperpine are both lame, and consequently not in
the race. Honesty is a long way first favourite, but I
should prefer his chance over a shorter distance of ground,
and as th© stable have made several mistakes in their pri-
vate trials already this year—for instance, Clarice for the
City.and Suburban, Julius in the Two Thousand Guineas,
and Pericles for the Great Eastern Railway Handicap—l
think it very likely they have done so ou this occasion.
Any how give me public form, and, according to that,
Julius, I think, is sure to be in the first three, and
I fully expect will be very troublesome to the winner.
Thalia has also been backed by Lord Westmorland
for a large stake, and whichever he tries best,
this or Romping Girl, will bo my absolute representative.
Armourer is reported one of W. Day's good things, but I do
not know sufficient about him to say much in his favour
at present. Cannon Ball will, I understand, represent the
Royston division, but ho is evidently suffering from the
effect of King Victor's indifferent performance in the
October Handicap. King's Cross and Harpenden are very
quiet in the market at present, but whiohevor represents
John Day will come with a rush one of these fine days.
At present it would be safer to back the two coupled.
Although Broadlands is never mentioned, I have heard
it whispered that he is quite good enough to win a
great handicap when wanted.

A FRESH MAN.

From the Noemarkel Correspondent of the Racing Times.
The First October Meeting just passed at head-quarters
must bo considered, on the whole, a very successful one,
the weather being beautiful and the fields on several occa-
sions large, whilst there were some close contests during
the four days. To give a full description of all the
races would bo only a waste of time, as the manner in
which the different horses performed during the week
must by this time be familiar to sporting readers. The
Trial Stakes showed us that two year olds aro better than
old horses at weight for age this time in the year, as Specu-
lum boat Dalesman and the others opposed to him very
cleverly. Only twelve faced the starter for the Eastern
Counties Handicap, but it was a capital race with the first
four. Although my selection only got third, he ran a good
horse, considering the weight ho was giving to Mistletoe.
Hippia disappointed her owner and trainer in the Grand
Duke Michael Stakes, as she looked like winning at ono
time, and the offers of 10 to 1 on her were plentiful until she
faced the hill, when she shut up as soon as Daley called
on her and ran a rank jade. Ono of my selections,
however, won the race, although I fully expected
to see Julius got closer to him, but Hermit could
not give Friponnier the 71b, as I stated last week. The
St. Leger Stakes on Wednesday proved that Owaiu
Glyndwr can gallop a little. Trocadero ran a good, fair
horse, as he was giving tho winner 71b, but Hippie for the
second time turned it up when it looked any odds on her.
The racing commenced on Thursday with the Queen's
Plate, and brought out five runners. Goodwood, on the
strength of beating Gomera at Warwick, was made fa-
vourite, ani Mr. Saville backed Loybonrne for a good
stake, but Dalesman won cleverly; and if any proof were
wanting of what I have so often stated about the wretched
lot of horses that Gomera beat in the Goodwood Stakes,
we have had quite sufficient in the running since Warwick,
as the Duke of Beaufort's mare has boon beaten out of sight
when she has met anything that could gallop. I have often
heard it stated since Goodwood beat her at Warwick
that Godding lost the Cesarewitch by exposing his horse,
as he must have got well in had he been reserved for it;
but from his running in the Queen's Plate he could not
win with 6st on his back, and his running in her Majesty's
Guineas at Leicester was not such a fluke after all. Chal-
lenge added another £5OO to his noble owner's expense, as

I said he would do when he met Julius in the match ; and
when the high price he gave for him, and the money ho
backod him for in the St. Leger, is taken into considera-

Lion, be is one of the dearest horses that ever was bought.
Only three oported silk for the Rutland Rakes, and

Suffolk on public form was bound t. be the favourite,
but had•no chance with the Earl, who won in a canter.
Such in and out running as we have seen this year is in-
comprehensible, and no one was more surprisedat Suffolk's
running than the Baron and his trainer; indeed I believe
they thought their good-looking colt could not be beaten.
The October Handicap brought out a large field, and:as
Lord Ronald was a great favourite all the morning the list
men outside drove a roaring trade, and as they stick to all
the money the backers of the Duke's horse looked unut-
terable things when he was struck out. Much has been
written and said lately in favour of those persons who take
boxes outside, and some writers assert what a benefit those
boxes are to the small backers and what honourable men
they are.

"When we for recompenl3 hive prifsed the
It stains the glory in that h tppy verse
W11,1%3 aptly sings the cool."
When we read of the amount the list box..s bring to the
clerks of courses, ono would natu rally ask where all the money
comes from to pay the enormous sums that are required for
such places. It must be a profitable trade when at some
places like Doncaster they are suipped up at any price, no
matter how high. The poor deluded backers pay for all,
as there are hundreds of pounds taken at the lists about
horses on the morning of a race ; and when the numbers
go up, perhaps the favourite's name is not on the telegraph
board, or should it be there for a few minutes, like Lord
Ronald's, all the better for the list men, and when the
name is withdrawn from the list of runners the list men
scream like wild Indians, and laugh at the backers, and
and tell them when they ask for their money back that
they bet all in on the day of the race. Such robberies
should not be allowed at Newmarket or anywhere else, as,
accenting to all rules of betting, a man should not lose his
money when he has no chance of winning. I find I was
not correct when I stated that Honesty would go to 20 to
1 before the week was over, for he is still first fa-
vourite, and backed for large sums at the low price of 5
and 6to 1. Money has made him a great favourite, and
rumour has made him as good a horse as Julius, but the
immortal William tells us " that rumour is a pipe blown
by surmise." It will be remembered that I have opposed
the stable three times this year ; when Julius was a great
favourite for the 2,000 guineas-1 would not have him at
any price, as 1 then stated he was drawn too fine. When
Aisley was at 6 to 4 for the Newmarket Handicap I
said he wits a cripple, and they took 3 to 1 about
Clarice for the City and Suburban Handicap, who is
not worth .f,30 for racing purposes ; and, in my opinion,
it is not good policy to back Honesty at his pre-
sent price, but, as I told your readers last week, to wait a
little longer. Lothario looks and goes well, but he has
too much weight for a maiden four year old; still I think
ho will boat all such handicap horses as wo have had run-
ning lately. Montgoubert is a good goer, and the French
stable have a good line through Trocadero, and I have
every reason to believe the right money is on, therefore 1
must add Montgoubert to my last week's selection, and
vote for Lothario, Blinkhoolie, or Montgoubert, and one of
these will prove the winner, unless there is a good dark three
year old in that I know nothing of ; but I shall not have
the great favourite Honesty. The meetings of next week
are Northampton, Bedford, and the Lothians Racing Club.
Mr. Marshall has issued a very fair programme for the
Autumn races at Northampton, and from all appearances
he will have two good days' sport. 1 shall not enter fully
into the programme, nor shall I select three or four horses
for each race, and then make a boast of hitting the right
nail on the head, should one of them win. Orne looks best
in in the Autumn Handicap. &Ir. Pitt or Jeannie Deans look
like winning the Ecton Handicap ; Pero the Two-year-old
Handicap ; and Violent the Wotton Park Handicap. Pero
is likewise in the Harlestone Nursery, on Wednesday, and
ought to win. Mr. Pitt or Jeanie Deans look like winning
the Fausley Plate ; Wild Moor or Orne the Northampton
Handicap ; King of Spades or Salliet will win the Corpo-
ration Plate. There are three days' racing in the land
of cakes, and whichever Joseph Dawson sends, Friday or
Miss Harriette will win the Lothian Handicap. Fair Wind
looks best in in the Edinburgh Handicap. The other races
I know nothing of. There will no doubt be two good
days' racing at Bedford; and there is generally some brisk
betting on the Cesarewitch, where I have seen some of
the favourites knocked out more than once. Stephen
Langton ought to win the Bedford Handicap, and Orne
will win the Southill Stakes. For the Woburn Park
Stakes, Coup d'Eclat is sure to win if he runs. The
gallant Admiral soon found out this to be a good horse ;
he handicapped him in a Nursery on Wednesday last with
7st. 71b., and he could not have lost had the owner thought
proper to ran him. They put him in again on Thursday,
but the handicapper seems to have had a whisper about
him, and put the steadier of Bst. 101 b. on his back. So
much for not running him when he could have won. It
servos them right.
