SPORTING NOTES.

There is an excellent four days' sport at Goodwood,
this week, which will unquestionably prcvide both
backers and layers with ample food for discussion
during the rest of the season, as we may anticipate
many of next year's Derby candidates will be putting
in an appearance for their two-year-old engagements
here, and shall also got a view of Taraban, and be
able to judge if there is any probability of the great
Wizard of the North performing another of his celebrated
feats for the St. Leger with Mr. Bowes's gelding. With
a vivid recollection of the wonders he performed with
Gamester, Warlock, and Imperieuse, I shall not ignore the
horse's chance for the Great Doncaster Prize until he
has fulfilled hie present engagement, for which purpose
he, with War and Westwick, passed through town on
Saturday afternoon.

On Tuesday, for The Larant Stakes, Athena has in-
curred a penalty of 61b; Cock of the Walk, lnnerdale,
and Le Sarrazin have each 31b extra to carry, which I
think will prevent any of that division winning, my
impression being that ST. RONAN will beat them.
Amongst the competitors for the Rous Stakes will
doubtless be TARABIN (31b extra), Viridis (31b extra),
and Bismarck (31b extra), whose chances I recom-
mend in the order named. BUMBLEXITE should have no
difficulty in winning The Gratwicke Stakes, and which-
ever Lord Stamford runs, IDALIA or HELVELLYN, should
be good enough to win his lordship The Ham Stakes. To
select the winner of the Stewards' Cup is like "looking
for a needle in a bottle of hay," bit the owners of Wolsey,
Mrs. Stratton, The Skipper, Batthyany, Actsia, Langham,
Jeannie Deans, Life Uuardsman, Camellia, and the colt by
Longbow, dam by Double Cross, have good reason
to be satisfied. The actual winner I expect will be
WOLSEY. The Annesley Stakes looks a good thing for
WEETWICK, who will stay over the course, which is nearly
three miles and a half. Thaw]; 4 years, is sure to boat
Weather Isle, 2 years, half a mile, as the owner of the
old horse is an accomplitihed artist in the pigskin, and
will hare very little, if any, more weight to carry. SIGNET
and DEMONSTRATION will, I think, also win their respec-
tive matches. If VAUBAN is brought out for the Draw-
ing Room Stakes on Wednesday, ho will win. The
Goodwood Stakes will furnish us with a dozen runners or
more. Of these Gomera, Lucifer, Tynedale, Clarice, Wild
Briar, Dulcimer, Vici, and Guy of Warwick have been
extensively backed. Blinkhoolie and 0 wain Glyndwyr
are not likely to be amongst the starters on this occa-
sion, as the former is doing very little work, and the
latter is said to have broken a blond-vessol the other day
whilst doing his work. My decided impression is in favour
of JEZABEL and GOMERA. The Findon Stakes will most
likely go to MAMELUKE or ST. RONAN, as I am satisfied they
has
51b both Derby horses, but as the Marquis's horse
51b extra to carry the latter reads most trustworthy. I
think Scuß DE CHARITE will win a Sweepstakes of 30,0
soya for 3-yr-old fillies, whilst the ono for colts sheuldo
