EPORTING NOTES.

The legitimate racing of the present: season terminated
with the past Houghton Meeting held at Newmarket last
week, and the principal habituds of the turf will now retire
to their country houses, whore hunting, shooting, and
other more congenial pursuits at this inclement period of
the year await their pleasure ; or to those of a more dissi-
pated taste, the thousand and one attractions of town life
are recommencing, after a period of dullness which has
reigned paramount throughout this mighty Babylon for
many months. Unfortunately, although Newmarket, the
Paradise of racing men, has lost none of its prestige or
patronage in high quarters, a schism prevails in that body,
on whose unanimity the very fabric of our racing laws
mainly depends, and if a canker is allowed to worm itself
into their councils, to whom are we to look for the preser-
vation of the best interests of the turf ? Of course, I
allude to the one principal topic of conversation which en-
grossed general attention throughout the meeting in con-
nection with the unfavourable system of handicapping
horses which appears to prevail there, whereby a certain
clique reduce the chances of their horses to a certainty, and
back them in proportion. Throughout all circles of
society there is the utmost unanimity in favour of the abi-
lity and high honour of Admiral Rous ; but it is reported
in quarters likely to be well informed, that, as was gene-
rally understood, he has not the exclusive framing of the
handicaps at head-quarters. A subject like this cannot be
too much ventilated, as it is of paramount importance to
bookmakers, and, indeed, to sporting men of all degrees.
The two principal events of Monday wore the handicap
plate over the Cambridgeshire Course, which Jollity won
easily and the Criterion Stakes, wherein my selection,
Taraban, cut up badly, and proved that Achievement
is still the wonder of her sex, as she beat Friponnier and
Dragon, second and third, easily by two lengths. In the
presence of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and
a large portion of the aristocracy the Cambridgeshire
Stakes were decided on, Tuesday, in favour of one of the
most straightforward sportsmen of the day—Mr. S. Thel-
lusson—whose filly, Acton, won cleverly, to the great
gratification of all classes, as, though his winnings are
favourite
with estimated at £5,000 or £6,000, she was a e
r
with the general public, and in consequence backed .
good deal of money by them. Thalia, who ran second,

wl. nt
tnearr's,
stable companion, Chepstow, besides breaking away before
the start many times, ran very unkindly in the actual race,
and settled his chance a long way from home by swerving
across the course. Proserpine and Affidavit, who
were backed at 5 to 1 each, turned out impostors ;
indeed the first placed four or five horses were all
that were left in the race, at least a quarter
of a mile from home. Four races, the total value of which,
including the winners' own stake, was £270, occupied the
rest of the afternoon, and show a disposition on the part
of noblemen and gentlemen now-a-days to race for the
value of a cab horse, provided there is plenty of betting.
The principal excitement on Wednesday centred in The
All-Aged Stakes, in which Friponnier, receiving 261 b from
Lord Lyon, made short work with him, and won in a can-
ter, thus bearing out my opinion that he is only the best
of a bad lot of three year olds. Gladiateur was unfortu-
nately an absentee, and there is now no probability of a
match between him and Mr. Sutton's horse, as the former
is announced to make his appearance next season in a dif-
ferent roll. Tho two Nurseries on Thursday and Friday
go to prove what a good two year old can do, and the suc-
cess of Mr. Coventry's splendid filly, Viridis, in both in-
stances, must have been a great boon to the gentlemen
who stood her on each occasion, almost to a man. I think,
however, if a scrimmage had not occurred in Friday's race
Hippia would probably have si on, and of the others it
occurs to me Nine Elms will be satisfactorily heard of on
some future occasion. Of Saturday's running I can only
allude to the Houghton Handicap, wherein Mr. Ten
Broeck's recent purchase, Batthyany, late Il Re Galantuomo,
won cleverly, and landed him a good stake, at the same
time upsetting the calculations aad intentions of Xi's owner,
who would probably not regret if the handicappers, under
whose notice his horse has come this year, had formed a
less favourable opinion of his merit.
The Meetings of the present week are Worcester, Lin-
coln, and Ealing, but the latter, which comes off on Friday
and Saturday next under influential patronage, is not of
sufficient public interest to require any remarks from me,
except that I think if three parts of these local meetings
were swept away no one would be a loser, unless those
parties personally interested.
Worcester commences on Tuesday, and extends over
three days, the last of which, unfortunately, clashes
with Lincoln; however, with Mr. Robt. Johnson as judge,
Mr. M'George, starter, and Mr. W. Webb, the honoraryd
clerk of the course, and half a dozen influential stewards,
there is no doubt of its success. The Autumn Handicap,
run on the first- day, should result between
Sandal, Troubadour, Brimstone, and Dliso , and

NOTES

FROM
TRAINING DISTRICTS,

THIS DAY.

NEWMARKET.

Yesterday (Sunday) the horses were limited to trotting
or cantering exercise, and amongst them we noticed Bread-
albane, Broomielaw, Nu, The Rector, Claxton, Trombone,
Lady Bugle Eye, Slender, Goodfellow, Red Shoes, '
Pur-
chase, Claymore, Bathyany, King Charming, Roquefort,
Gas, Cromwell, Warrior, The Rhymer, Verdi, Shrapnell,
Duke of York, The Pieman, Pedagogue, and several others.
A large number of horses left for their country quarters,
and many more will leave to-day, as also will a few of ours
that are engaged at Worcester and Lincoln. This morn-
ing Breadalbane had a good gallop of a couple of miles,
and Knight of the Garter went a mile. The former's
weight for the Lincoln Handicap is too heavy,
and he may not therefore run, nor Grayfoot
either. Brimstone has done some good work, and will
take a lot of beating at Worcester, where Plunder seems
to have a good fair chance for tho Nursery. We shall
have Benazet there, and he looks and goes so well that it
would not surprise us to see him win both the Hurdle Race
and Free Handicap Steeplechase. This morning he gal-
loped about two miles and a half. Cortolvin and Reporter
are in nice steady preparation. King Charming had a
mile and a half gallop ; and Miss Harriette did two miles
Othello, Chapel Royal, and Cheltenham worked freely, and
are exceedingly fit. The Rake, The Hermit, Julius,Born--
bastes, Pericles, Blinkhoolie, Misfortune, Lochaber, and
several more two year olds were galloping smartly.
