SPORTING NOTES.

Although the Newmarket Meeting commences to-day,
the most import event to be decided is the Cesarewitch,
for which every largo owner or trainer -of horses has,
or is supposed to have, a good thing, apart from which
an additional-eclat is given to it by the attraction of the
Middle Park Plate, to which the noble gift of 1,000 soya.
is added by Mr. W. Blenkiron, the well-known breeder;
and whose liberality is disinterested, and an example
worthy of all praise to sundry noblemen and gentlemen,
who, in their smaller contributions as stewards to different
meetings, generally contrive to win back with their own
horses in stakes considerably more than they subscribe.
The march of intellect in racing has been equally rapid
with every other pursuit, but things have sadly altered
since the commencement of my interest in turf pursuits
twenty years ago. In those days, when Lords George
Bentinck, Eglinton, and the Marquis of Waterford, now
unfortunately living in our memories only, were the lead-
ing turf celebrities, in conjunction with the Earls of Glas-
gow, and Zetland, still living of the old school, no such ac-
tion as scratching horses from the excuse of being fore-
stalled was ever a part of their creed. Very different are
the tactics used nowadays, when it would be difficult
to award a premium to the most successful of the
sporting aristocracy, who have taken the greatest ad-
vantage of public credulity, and who appear to think it
a praiseworthy feature in their racing career to do so.
However, my present business is to endeavour to en-
lighten your readers on forthcoming events at this meeting,
and declining to interfere with to-day's running, I shall
at once turn Fay attention to Tuesday's engagements.
In the Clearwell Stakes, if ACHIEVEMENT is started,
it is out of the question looking elsewhere for the
winner, indeed it is only a nice exercise gallop for her pre-
paratory to her engagement in the Middle Park Plate next
day. WESTWICK certainly ought to win the Royal Stakes
(across the fiat), after which the Cesarewitch presents
itself for notice. It would be wearisome, and is not
worth while to go into elaborate detais about it,
and I shall content myself by selecting the fourteen
horses, from whom the winner is likely to be produced,
viz., Regalia, Rama., War, Peon, Lecturer, Comus,
Lothario, Potomac, Dubiety, La Favorite, ActamoTollity,
Chepstow, and Proserpine. Regalia and Chepstow
have been entrusted with considerable investments,
but the first-named has not displayed sufficient form
lately to win with 9st on her back, and although
her stable companion is, I believe, a good horse
—report says that he is better than the mare at a difference
of two stone—ho has been too much knocked about in the
market to obtain my recommendation. Thera are excep-
tions, of course, but, as a rule, favourites driven back to
such long odds as he has been very seldom win. Rama
and Potomac represent a truly formidable stable, as the run
ning of Lord Westmorland's horse stamps him as A 1.
over a distance of gonad ; according to latest market ope-
rations, however, Potomac possesses the confidence of the
stable, and will probably obtain some notice from the
judge. War is a good stayer, but he is not particularly
well in. Peon is said to be one of Mr. Ten Broeck's good
things, and more unlikely events have occurred than the
chance of that gentleman winning the two great autumn
events, as ho has Paris, 5 yrs, engaged in the

in the successful management of winners is proverbial, and
who, I believe, is equally sanguine of the result on this
occasion. I know she has had a most satisfactory trial, and is
sure to stay every yard of the way. It must not be over-,
looked also that she finished in front for the Oaks with,
Bst 101 b on her, besides winning three or four races last
year in good company. There will, doubtless, be a much
larger field than I have enumerated above, amongst them
Verdant, Bradamante, Philosopher, Ethelred, Gibraltar,
Helen or Fan, Surney, Farce or Lively, Lochiel, &c.
However none of them have any attraction for me,
and I know nothing satisfactory about any of the others.
It will be perceived from the foregoing remarks that I have
a strong opinion in favour of

CHEPSTOW or PROSERPINA

whom I expect to see placed the winner of 1866 ;
and to NUM the fashion I shall recommend LA

• FAVORITE, and DUBIETY for places. Wednesday's pro-
gramme includes the Middle Park Plate, for which
all the best youngsters of the day are engaged; but
although there are no less than 186 subscribers, I do
not think any of the dark candidates are likely to defeat the
public form of those which have already given us such sa-
tisfactory specimens of their quality this season. 1 allude to
Achievement, The Hermit; Marksman, Knight of the Gar-
ter, Ravioli, Wroughton, The Rake, The Palmer, &c. Over
this distance of ground (six furlongs), although I shall
award the victory to the invincible ACHIEVEMENT, I do net
expect to see her obtain a bloodless victory, as there is sure
to be something to make the pace severe, and Bst 13Ib is a
great weight to carry, and very likely to cause her 71h
penalty to tell a tale. Knight of the Garter, from the great
improvement he has made lately, must be a formidable
opponent to her, as I presume The Hermit is short of pre-
paration. and not likely to be brought out. The Hake and The
Palmer are sure to run well, and I believe Freemason, iu IV.
Day's stable, will prove a good horse some day, and that an
investment on him fur next year's Derby would not be
thrown away. The Beaufort Stakes ought to go to POTO-
MAC. I should think VAUBAN would be good enough to,
win the Milton Stakes. The RAKE looks all over the whi-
ner of the Bedford Stakes ; and I presume LORD LYON
will be sent fur the Select Stakes. For the Sweep-
stakes of 50 sous my choice is FRIPONNIER. T LI%
Newmarket Oaks on Thursday reads well for THE
FILLY BY KING TOM OUT OF MAYONNAISE, who claims a
71b allowance, and who was one of the first favourites for
the Epsom Oaks. The -Bietby Stakes will be decided in
favour of ROSE or RAVIOLI. The Sweepstakes of 300 sous
will be divided between THE HERMIT and MARKSMAN. The
Prendergast and the Newmarket Derby Stakes are the only
two in Friday's programme which are yet closed. There is
very little doubt that KNIGHT OF THE GARTER Will add the,
first named race to his other victories, unless Ailesbury should
have improved on his previous running', and surely SAVER-
NAKE will land The Newmarket Derby for his unlucky
owner. As regards Matches, it ought to be any odds on
PARIS against Ines. FAKIR is sure to beat Pirate Chief,
LADY BUGLE EYE, the filly by Tom Bowline, THE PIE-
MAN, another filly by Tom Bowline. I prefer BREADAL-
BANE to Tourmalin, JANITOR to Vespasian, and Lord Port-
smouth's ROBIN HOOD will receive forfeit, as the Baron's
has come to grief.

A FRESH MAN.

NOTES

FROM
TRAINING DISTRICTS.

(THIS DAY.)

NEWMARKET.

Yesterday and this morning our exercise grounds were
completely dotted with horses, among them being severa
very " distinguishhd foreigners," and several others are
arriving almost hourly, the special trains being more
numerous and much longer than usual. This is a good
sign, and we easily believe that the " Second October'
will be a veritable monstre meeting-. There cannot be less
than a hundred and sixty strange horses already stabled
here, and accommodation has been secured for a lot more
To-day we had about forty Cesarewitch animals at work
amongst them being Regalia, Brown Bread, Ostregor,
King Charming, Breeze, Rama, Gomera, Verdant, Nu,
Bradamante, Duke of York, War, Peon, Lecturer,
Caithness, Philosopher, Gibraltar, Lothario, Zenobia.
Dulcimer, La Favorite, Actina, Lively, Violent,
Hawkswell, Jollity, Chepstow, Proserpine, Medina,
Sleive Came, and Slender. Teddy Brayley's had
not arrived ; and Tom Oliver is not likely to send any-
thing for the Middle Park Plato. Regalia galloped two
miles and a half beautifully; after which Knight set
Caithness to take Chepstow over a couple of miles, and
the pair of them acquitted themselves first-rate. Ostregor
was galloping Actasa, and King Charming working with
Il Re Galatuomo. Breeze did very little, having been
beaten in her trial ; but Lothario was bounding along in
first-rate style, led by Tourmalin. Rama and Potomac
both galloped two miles ; it is doubtful whether the former
runs. Potomac's action was very free, and she is in the
bloom of condition. William Goater had also Bismarck,
Pamunkey, Owen Glendower, Lady Sophie, Crown
Prince, and the Ringtail Screamer in nice work. Verdant
galloped uncommonly well, as did Vigorous. Nu was in
long steady exercise. Nimble, Pintail, the Splitvoto
colt, Dulcimer, and Bradamante were out early/
and were subsequently joined by Savernake, Adam Bede,
Bugler, Countess Amy, the two-year-old, Mayonaise filly,
Pussy, and others. After their usual canters, Brada-
mante did over two miles fast, and the little mare went
splendidly. Tho ground is in nice order for her. Saver-
nake went about a mile and three-quarters, and ho never
moved or looked better. Adam Bede looks big. The
Duke of York did his work very satisfactorily. Neither
Peon nor Paris looked as if they could stand much severe
preparation ; and the little Slender does the work of the
American party. Their Fitzroy went splendidly, and ho
has won a great trial. We have all along advised our
readers to be on him for the Derby. Everybody was
anxious to see Lecturer. Ackworth led him two miles
and a quarter at a rare pace, and the form in which the
youngster went made folks forget their early aversion to
his diminitive size and lightness of frame. He certainly
looks more like a flyer than a stayer, but he evinced no
lack of endurance this morning. On the contrary, he went
as strong as a little elephant, and pleased every
one. Philosopher is as slow as Grafton's grey, and Gib-
raltar, though he be in the sere and yellow leaf, looked
uncommonly fresh. Zenobia was eagerly sought after, as
the mysterious horse of the race; but she does not appear
to have done sufficient work, albeit her action is good, and
she went a couple of miles admirably. Dulcimer galloped
two miles, and so did the squire. Surney exercised freely,
but being in the Proserpina interest, was almost entirely
discarded; and no one seemed to trouble after Emigrant
or Sealskin, who were taking things rather quietly.
Dubiety is on the small side, but no animal could possibly
be made more fit, and her two mile gallop this morning
was got through superbly. La Favorite rattled over a
similar distance in beautiful form, and is said to have been
specially kept for this. Lively went short, and
S lieve Came very little better ; but Jollity was
as free as ever in her action, and is quite
ripe. Hawkswell did his work with Zenobia. With
regard to Proserpine we have to report very favourably.
She appears a different mare to what she was in the "First
October" week, and goes delightfully, skimming over the
heath like a bird; and, from the manner in which he ac-
complished her two miles this morning, we were bound to
infer that she can stay. Plutus and Sultan did a mile and
a quarter. Master Richard led Vauban quite a mile; and
Mirella pioneered Marksman, Blanche of Middlebie filly,
Miss Ann filly, and the Sunflower filly. Lady Hester,
Ischia, The Captain, Ines, The Duchess, Jack in the
Green, Mr. Pitt, Tumbler, Whirligig, Pantaloon, Kanga-
roo, Glendale, Gomera, and several others of John Day's,
were in active exercise ; and Drewett had also Haidee and
Pirate Chief at work. The Rake did not do much, hav-
ing been " bested"on Saturday afternoon ; but Fripponnier
did plenty. Podargus and Nightwatch went about a
mile and a quarter ; and Split the Difference took
Lord Lyon very nearly a couple of miles,
Achievement doing one, and looking first class.
