SPORTING NOTES.

The fixtures for this week are Stamford, Notting-
ham, and Knutsford, and it happens there is a lot of
fresh blood in the Burghley Handicap, two miles
and a quarter, which will be worth at least £6OO.
John Davis, Regalia, Beeswing, Knight of the Cres-
cent, Bradawante or Pintail, Retrousse, Dunsany,
and Dr. Syntax or Lizard, should run, if the lame
Archimedes cannot, and Challenge's penalty stops
him ; and there are others in the list sure to
swell the field, though I cannot see what is to
beat Beeswing, turned loose as Pintail is, unless
Knight of the Crescent or Regalia can perform
that feat. The handicaps are all on the light scale,
it being best to await the Nottingham results
before meddling with the minor.affairs, though it is
impossible to help expressing a fancy for Lord Ro-
nald and Beadle in the Welter, and Confederate in
the Westmorland Plate. The Nottingham Handicap
has a good acceptance, and I have the utmost faith
in The Beadle and Knight of the Crescent to
furnish the winner. The weight for ago races
have fared well enough in regard to the number of
entries, the 14 in the Welland including the Skipper,
Dick Turpin, Bounceaway (each 61b extra), and
King Victor (31b extra), besides some juveniles,
the pick of which are Veda, Scotchman's Pride (each
61b extra), the Returned (31b extra), and Janet
Rawcliffe (allowed 81b). The three year olds have
the best of the weights,,and Bounceaway has only to
fear The Skipper. Europa and Speculum should fight
out both the Ryhall Stakes and 50 Sovs Sweepstakes,
and there may not be more than two clippers in the
Stamford St. Leger field, good as is the entry,
Knight of the Garter being the best to stand upon,
as he is likewise for the Ketton Stakes on the second
day, when Friponnier has the Second Wothorpe
Biennial to content him, the First being also likely
to fall to Mr. Pryor's lot, with Ritualist, allowed
41b. There is just the chance that the three fa-
vourites for the Goodwood Cup will contest that at
Stamford—Regalia (9st 31b), Beeswing (84 101),
and Lecturer (9st 101 b) —whom I prefer in the
order named ; and many that were in keeping for
the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood might be tempted
by their flattering weights to go in for the Clifden.
But Matthew Dawson will take a lot of beating, his
patrons being lucky if they possess a better ally
than Bismarck, and those who follow Lord Westmor-
land in the Johnstone Nursery may not fare badly.
The meeting at Hayling Island will be inaugurated
under the most favourable auspices, as the naval
review at Spithead is to be witnessed (if a naval
review were ever really " seen" by outsiders) from
the Grand Stand. This treat will more than com-
pensate for the poorness of the entries, which aro
nothing like commensurate with the liberality dis-
played in the adding of the money, only the two-
year-old race having a good lot in, and if The
Fawn, or Wild Blood, should cut in there will not
be much of a chance for aught else.
