SPORTING NOTES.

The meeting which was inaugurated at Harrow was an
indisputable success, and Mr. Topham will, I presume,
have little cause to regret his racing venture in that locality.
AlthouT,h it is difficult to prognosticate the future of newly
established gatherings, yet the manner in which things
passed off at Uxendon inclines me to regard the ultimate
success of Mr. Topham's project as a certainty. The course is
very beautifully situated, and from its elevated situation
visitors were enabled to enjoy a rare prospect of the sur-
rounding landscape. Cockneydom was powerfully repre-
sented, and along the lanes streamed such an enormous
number of "Hansoms" that I began to wonder if there
were any of that class of vehicles left to accommodate
the citizens left behind in the modern Babylon. The
"fields" were not particularly strong, but the animals who
took part in the different encounters were of a somewhat
superior " class." Mr. T. Stevens's clever little colt, Ar-
dour, won in his old style, but people were rather surprised
to see Newcastle no nearer the front at the finish. To-day is
the grand day at Harrow, and in all probability it will
be crowned with a success even superior to that which
characterised the proceedings yesterday.
Bedford, Hereford, and Richmond commence to-morrow,
but the attention of turfites will be almost exclusively
directed to the meeting on the Home Circuit. Joyeuse,
despite her 31b. penalty, ought to win the Bedford Two-
Year-Old Stakes, and I think old Romeo may be
able to beat the very moderate lot left in the Bedfordshire
Stakes ; if he is beaten, it will probably be by Neva. The
Produce Stakes I award to Queen Charlotte ; Fractious
and The Speaker look as well in as anything for the Surrey.
The other items at this ducal meeting are unclosed.
I expect to see Lucia della Robbie victorious for the
Hereford Handicap; the Express Handicap lies be-
tween Apollo and Clara Webster—my preference is for the
former. Table Bay or Linda ought to win the Nursery,
and Misty Morn the Cup. The result of the Licensed
Victuallers' Plate and the Juvenile Handicap Plate will
depend upon previous running.
The Richmond meeting is the last of the Yorkshire
series this season, and it will, doubtless, be a very success-
ful affair. Cornboro' or Ducrow may win the Richmond
Handicap. Shafto, if meant, ought to win one of his races
at least. A FRESH MAN.
