SP JRTING NOTES.

The Ascot meeting last week was a great success.
The fields certainly for the various races were not
large, but the best horses in the country took part
in the different races. It is reported that the Mar-
quis of Hastings has got back £20,000 of his Derby
losses. The meetings for the current week arc for
the benefit of the million, the Cockneys having
Wiiplsor and Hampton to patronise, and Manchester
giving the northern and midland division their fill.
The programmes are well filled, and plenty of horses
will perform, but how many beyond the form of
" platers" is another matter, and stable arrange-
ments have to be determined before even the princi-
pal events can be dealt with. The best class
animals are engaged at Windsor, and on the
first day there should be a good race for the Eton
Handicap, Wild Agnes not being quite a c,r-
tainty, forward as she ran in the Hunt Cup
with 31b more weight. She has to concede a " lump"
to Bradatnante, who is evidently waiting for some-
thing, and Skirmish and Spes look nearly as well
on paper as this turned-loose mare. Huntsman is
well in in both the Thames and Rays Handicap, and
may win one of them, Lady Valentine and Landlord
being about the most likely to get home should he
not go in for either, as the best horses will hardly
run. Veda, having no penalty, may be sent for
the £5O Two-year-old Plate; and there is no hard-

leniently enough. For the Clumber Cup, Cecrops
ought to " do," and Idalia would be worth fol-
lowing in the Royal Stakes, if she run, though
she missed too many Ascot engagements to run, and
the best of the others is Eleanora. The first day's
doings must bring out the good thing for the Welter;
but they can hardly jeopardise Regalia's chance,
with only Sst 41b, for the Windsor Summer Handi-
cap. The results of the events herein named will
prove the best guide for Hampton, all that is
worth noticing being the good chances of Zeuobia
and the Vixen colt in the Surrey and Middlesex
Stakes (if the latter should not run, Orne must take
his place), of Nutrition in the Wolsey Plato, and of
Retty and Manton in the Nursery. The Man-
chester events are even more complicated, so many
stables being doubly and trebly represented that it
is impossible to do more than hint that Conundrum
and Bracken are best in for the Union Cup.
