SPORTING NOTE?.

A favourable and most agreeable change in the weather.
bids fair to 'make the Epsom reunion on Tuesday :trud.
WedneSd:fy next the first pleasant meeting of the seas:rn,
and udver 'was 'more attractive programme- issued -for
the spring races than-the one in question.. The Stamford
Plate on the first.day has most of the speedy horses of the
day engaged; but the short distance and the large field
-likely •to be brought -out will make it too much of a
scramble to speculate upon with any degreo.of certainty..
However, Qui Vive, Scarborough, King of Spades, Tina,
and Miller's Maid are all welt in, and should
MAID represent Lord Westmorland on • the,--day, -she.:or
TINA ought to be about winning. In the Heathcote.
Plate Ulphus, Wild Bee, and Dayrell appear to me.
Most trustworthy. The Two Year Old Stakes Will
most likely go to NINNY, as she has no penalty to
carry for her previous winnings, unless there is some
clinker in the background. Rumour speaks highly of
ThOt;nityke, who Should not be bet sight of In case h&
faces, the, starter's flag.. The City and Su-birch=

dance, and ,Clarice. jam not,going to troubbycuF readers
•with an elaborite analYsis of the different animals, but
after having carefully perused their performances, shall
content myself by selecting Clarice,. Foresight, -or the'
Mayonaiso filly as the winner; and, if an outsider Wins,
it will most likely be Monarch of the Glen, who ran second
to Lord Lyon last year in the Two-Thousand Guineas.'

The great attraction of Wednesday will be the Metro-
politan, the New Two Year Old, and the Prince of Wales,
Stakes.- The betting for the first-named race has been of
a somewhat •limited nature. Amongst those entrusted by
the public ,or with their owners money are Tormentor,
who I think will have to succumb to. Sydmontnn and
one or two others in the race. Tourmalin is nicely
weighted, and as the Baron's horses are remarkably fdr-
ward for this period of the year she is justly entitled to her
position in the market. Proserpina is " turned loose," but
the Chester Cup is more likely to be her journey, but as
she is heavily backed there is no knowing which race Mr.
Swindell may send her for. Retribution has also, been
backed fora great deal of money on the quiet, and certainly
if there were any good grounds for his favouritism in the
Goodwood Stakes he ought to give a good account of him-
self here. Foresight and Gilead have also been backed, and
whichever represents his lordship is bound to be danger-
ous. The latter will stay every yard of the way. Lord of
the Dales has beon heavily supported, and ought to secure'
a place if he does not win. My opinion is that the winner
will turn up in either DUNSANY, TOURMALLN, or LORD OF
THE DALES.'

-Fcr the New Two-year-old Stakes, Ninny has incurred
a 71b penalty, which will spoil her chance ;.but the Duke of
Newcastle has a second string to his bow in SPECULUM,
who, I am told, is a really good two-year-old.
On looking over the Prince of Wales's Stakes the fol-
lowing lot appear best in, viz., Longdown, Abergeldie,
Conundrum, Gretna, Musician, only 6st 121 b. (with his 71b
penalty), and of these I like MUSICIAN and GRETNA as
well as anything. Tho Walton Stakes should Olio'
PIRATE CHIEF, especially if he has pretensions to run. iu
the Derby.

ALLIANCE BETWEEN PRUSSIA AND
WURTEMBUItG.

STUTTGART, March 23.

The Official Gazette of to-day publishes the, text
of a treaty of alliance, between Prussia and Wur-
temburg, identical in terms with that concluded
between Prussia and Bavaria on the 23d August
last.

-The supreme command of the Wurtemburg troops
in time of war -is given to the King of Prussia.
The official Gazitte, in a leading article upon the
treaty, repudiates the possibility of neutrality in the
event of European war complications, and says
".It would be chimerical to expect to participate in
the benefits of national existence without also
sharing the dangers by which it may be threatened."
