SPORTING NOTES.

The settling over the Derby has gone off better
than was anticipated. One or two gentlemen have
asked for time, which was readily granted. Mr.
Sutton, the owner of Lord Lyon, has not won
so much as was at first supposed. Instead of win-
ning £lOO,OOO, as was stated, his net gain is
£42,000. He made a present to the jockey of
MO, not a very large sum considering the enor-
mous amount he has landed. If Lord Lyon keeps
well he is certain to win the St. Leger, which will
make the third time that the Two Thousand, Derby,
and St. Leger have been carried off by the same
horse, West Australian being the first to break the
charm, Gladiateur next, and, as I have said above,
it is only a matter of health with Lord Lyon to make
the third. The grand prize of Paris, run next
Sunday, I expect the Duke of Beaufort will secure
with the aid of CEYLON, his most dangerous oppo-
nent being Mazeppa.

A FRESH MAN.

WEST DRAYTON RACES-TUESDAY.

This pleasant and very successful meeting was brought
to a conclusion yesterday, in most delightful weather.
There was a falling off in the attendance compared with
the opening day, but the interesting features of the racing
were fully sustained, and good fields contested the various
events. It is satisfactory to record such excellent manage-
ment at a meeting of this class, and we trust the untiring
exertions of the promoters will meet with the reward they
deserve. The Great Western Railway Company's arrange-
ments, notwithstanding the very heavy traffic, were excel-
lent, the safety and convenience of the public being duly
considered. The following is a full return of the day's
running :
