SPORTING NOTES.

Although the Newmarket Meeting commences to-day,
the most import event to be decided is the Cesarewitch,
for which every large 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 sovs.
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 my 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-
paratoryxl to her engagement the Middle Park Plate nest
day. WEsrwicic certainly ought to win the Royalrosou,
(across the flat), after which the Cesarewitchn

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 he has Paris, 5 yrs, engaged in the Cambridge-
shire at the ridiculous impost of Est 121 b. Lecturer has,
been backed for hatfuls of money the last few days, and
it is said, has distinguished himself with Pearl Diver and
the Danebury lot. Oomus has been extensively supported
by the northern division, who are fond of his chance.
Lothario will represent Baron Rothschild's interests, as
Breeze is a doubtful starter; but ho has too much weight
for my fancy. Dubiety is a slashing fine four-yr-old mare
with a three-yr-olds weight on, and the reputation of
having been specially reserved for this engagement. La
Favorite has been backed for very large sums in the last
few days; and as the right division have been at work
she must be very dangerous. Acttea is, a good-looking

filly, and a fine goer, but I question if the distance wi/
suit her. Jollity is another first-class three-yr-old, and as
Godding considers her form equal to that of Artless, who
won after a dead heat with Gaspard in 1839, she is en-
titled to every respect. ProSerpine (the daughter of Jupiter, out of Ceres, who was stolen by Pluto
the God of Hell, and carried to his subterranean dominions)
belongs to Mr. F. Swindells, whose extraordinary luck
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 Ler, 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, ea%
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 PROSERPINE,
whom I expect to see placed the winner of 1866
and to follow 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, ite. 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 131 b is a
great weight to carry, and very likely to cause her 71b
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 Rake and The
Palmer are sure to run well, and I believe Freemason, in W.
Day's stable, will prove a good horse some day, and that an
investment on him for 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 win-
ner of the Bedford Stakes; and I presume LORD LYON
will be sent for the Select Stakes. For the Sweep-
stakes of 50 sovs my choice is FRIPONNIER. The
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 Bretby Stakes will be decided in
favour of ROSE or RAVIOLI. The Sweepstakes of 300 sovs
will be divided between THE HERMIT and MARKSMAN. The
Prendergast and the Newmarket Derby Stakes are the only
twoin 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-
SAKE will land The Newmarket Darby 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 Ports-
mouth'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 "distinguished foreigners," and several others aro
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 Broad, Ostregor,
King Charming, Breeze, Rama, Gomera, Verdant, Nu,
Bradamante, Duke of York, War, Peon, Lecturer,
Caithness, Philosopher, Gibraltar, Lothario, Zenobia
Dulcimer, La Favorite, Acton, Lively, Violent,
Hawkswell, Jollity, Chepstow, Proserpine, Medina,
Sleive Came, and Slender. Teddy Brayley's had
not arrived; and Tom 011iver is not likely to send any-
thing for the Middle Park Plate. 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. Ostrogor
was galloping Actrea, and King Charming working with
Il Re Galatuomo. Breeze did very little, Laving 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. Veidant
galloped uncommonly well, as did Vigorous. Nu was in
long steady exercise. Nimble, Pintail, the Splitvote
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. The ground is in nice order for her. Saver-
nake went about a mile and three-quarters, and he 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 he
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 Proserpine 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 sh,`,3.rt' and
