CADET AND TRAINING SHIPS.

DARTMOUTH, Aug. 20.
The steamers Osborne and Enchantress arrived
here on Saturday evening, with Sir John Faking-
ton, Admiral Milne, Sir John Hay and Admiral
Dacres on board. Their lordships made an official
inspection of the cadet and training ships Britannia
and Hindostan, stationed at this port, inspecting
both ships as well as the Gymnasium and Fives
Court in course of construction on shore. They
also inspected the cadets' sick quarters, and were
highly pleased with the efficiency of the establish-
ment. Their lordships left this morning by train
for London. The Osborne and Enchantress have

SPORTING NOTES.

The racing of last week presented a remarkable
contrast to several of the meetings that have taken
place for the last two months. At Wolverhampton
Lord Stamford won a couple of races with Chibisa
and Brick, but as neither beat anything possessing
more than common plating form, their success hardly
compensated him for the sorry figure Archimedes
cut in the Cleveland Cup, in running for which he
showed even more viciousness than at Goodwood,
where his gyrations caused a rupture between his
lordship and his jockey, and for which some amende
is surely now due to the latter. In the Stamford
Biennial four dark horses ran—the colt by Tourna-
ment out of Gertrude, the colt by Leamington out
of Catherine Parr, Miss Elizabeth, by Lord Albe-
marle out of Chow, and Delilah, by rhormanby out
of Durbar. The two former are very good-looking,
particularly the Tournament colt, and Miss Eliza-
beth is also a nice-racing-like filly, but Delilah does
no credit to either her sire or dam. All were
cleverly beaten by Opoponax, who, not being a
quick starter, was very nearly shut out, and but for
the resolute riding of Cannon would hardly` have
pulled through. Miss Elizabeth proved second best, but
will not beat the Tournament colt again when he is
fitter. In the Staffordshire Nursery Challenge re-
quited his owner for his disappointment at Lewes,
but his form is very moderate indeed. The Enville
filly, by Voltigeur out of Blondelle, was heavily
backed by Lord Stamford, but she cut up badly,
never looking formidable at any part of the race.
The Wolverhampton Stakes brought out a wretched
party, of whom Dulcimer, although she looked as
thin as a rake, was made the favourite, but though
she ran forward for a mile and a half, when it came
to racing she had no chance with Retrousse, whom
T. Cliff brought to the post in such splendid condi-
tion that he hardly turned a hair on his return to

the enclosure. The good-looking Lysander ran for
the first time, but as the " dicky " state of his legs
prevented his trainer bringing him to the post in
condition, he was nowhere in the race, and it is
very unlikely his ever being brought out to run
again. For the Chillington Stakes the party opposed
to Lady Hester was so very moderate that she won

• in the commonest of canters ; but the partisans of
the Danebury stable got a rather heavy knock by the
defeat of Ischia for th e Three Year Old Stamford Bien-
nial, which was effected by Retrousse. At Egham and
Oxford plating almost in its commonest form was
the order of the day, and both the Runnymede and
Port Meadow were fairly desecrated by the number
of rips brought out to run. The principal two year
old races at both meetings, the King John Stakes
and the Prince of Wales's Stakes, resulted in the

The betting on the St. Leger is now looked for-
ward to with great interest, and those who wish to
invest had better wait and watch the market opera-
tions on the best of John Scott's lot. If Westwick
pulls off the Ebor Handicap he may repeat the War-
lock coup by pulling off the St. Leger as well.
The York leeting commences to-morrow, and
might introduce another favourite for the St. Leger,
as was the case with The Miner in beating Blair
Athol; but Mr. Jackson found to his cost that his
overthrow by a common plater did not in the least
affect his position in the betting ; in fact, he became
a better favourite, to the chagrin of those who

thought to make capital out of it. The principal
race of the meeting is the Ebor handicap. After
the running of WESTWICK with Honesty last week
it is no use looking further for the winner; Gomera
and Scamander are likely to supply the second and
third places. The York Cup is a certainty for The
Duke, if he starts.
The winners at Hastings, Dover, Plymouth, and
West Drayton will be arranged when the owners
get enough of money on ; and those who wish to
speculate had better follow the money and not the
horse.

Those who wish to speculate on next year's Derby
might do worse than put a trifle on Taraban, the
best-looking colt in John Scott's stable.

A FRESH MAN.
