SPORTING NOTES.

The Stamford meeting, which commences to-
morrow, if the weather keeps fine, will no doubt be
a great success. The most important event to be
decided is the Burghley Handicap, for which Bees-
wing is now scratched, which leaves me with two
of those I selected on Monday to do battle for me,
viz., Knight of the Crescent and Pintail, and I have
no reason to alter the choice I then made, now that
Beeswing is out of the way. The judge, 1 have no
doubt, will place
KNIGHT of the CRESCENT 1
and Pintail or Bradamante I expect to find close
up with the winner. The other events I have
already referred to.
A " Screwed" correspondent in a letter writes to
inform me that Knight of the Crescent was not
entered in the Nottingham Handicap. Any gentle-
man accustomed to back horses could at a glance
have seen that it was simply an error of the printer
in substituting Knight of the Crescent for Knight
Errant. The Beadle, the horse I selected to fur-
nish the winner, only managed to get second, but I
do not think it bad form to get first last week with
Challenge in the Liverpool Handicap, and second
with The Beadle in the Nottingham. When " The
Freshman" does not name the winner in any of the
large handicaps, he does not the next day,
like
many other sporting writers, indulge in the used
-
less lamentation that the prophets are all " floore
to a man"—and so it was with the Nottingham
Handicap.
