SPORTING NOTES.

LIVERPOOL, NOTTINGHAM, AND STAMFORD.
The racirg at Liverpool last week Ness satisfactory
enough both with regard to its quality and quantity.
Blink Bonny was indulged with a mere canter for the
Lancashire Oaks, and appeared to be quite recovered
fr.- the effect of the shin soreness which she displayed
at Ascot. She galloped strong and well, and she has
again superseded Ignoramus in the betting as first
favourite for the St. Leger. I had hoped that she would
have been brought out to oppose Adamas on the Friday,
when despite her 91bs. penalty she would have added
another item to her long list of successes, for Adamas
was totally unfit to run, and seemed in the early part of
the race quite incapable of " acting." Thanks to the
horse's indomitable pluck, however, Mr. Mellishie colours
were landed in triumph.
The race for the Liverpool Cup showed that Bashi
Bazouk retains all the gameness which he displayed in
the spring, and that Mr. Jackson did not pay much too
dearly for his whistle when he bought Mongrel. Little
Rogerthorpe seems to have lost all form, and the result
of the race would not have been effected even if Flatuoan
had "come" earlier with him. Grey Pyrrhus looked
wonderfully fit, but he is more suited for a cab stand
than a race course. Moose cut up "bitter bad," and
did not run within two stone of his trial form. The very
pretty quarrel which was occasioned by the Clerk of the
Scales' refusal to try Withington with the 21bs. extra,
was the only disagreeable circumstance which occurred
during the meeting. That Mr. Horsley was wrong not
to comply with John Oabornes' request was admitted on
all sides, but the objection which was attempted to be
started was as frivolous as it was unfounded. The win•
tye or wrangle principle ought never to be introduced
on to our race courses. Lord Glasgow brought out two
as good looking youngsters as ever peeped through a
bridle, but they broke down in both their races. Will
the Glasgow luck never turn ?

The meetings for the current week are at Nottingham
to morrow and Wednesday, Stamford on Thursday and
Friday, and Marlborough on Friday, and they will suffi-
ciently occupy the attention of turfites until the glorious
Goodwood gathering engrosses their time and thoughts.

The list of sport issued by Mr. Bradfield is full of pro-
mise, and if the fields not be numerically large th•
racing will unquestionably be interesting. Seventeen
two-yr-olds•are nominated for the Robin Hood Stakes.
Maggie Lauder showed in such good form at Chelms-
ford that I shall have no hesitation in trusting her oa
this occasion.''

The Nottinghamshire Handicap will not attract many
runners to the post. King of the Gipsies and Mongrel
are the most noteworthy names, and if I were compaltd
to " stand" one only, I should pin my faith on the three-
yr-old. _ . _

For the Sherwood Handicap I shall select Courtenay
and King of Scotland. The Castle Handicap may be
placed to the credit of Sorceress. The representative of
Messrs. Barber and Saxon's interest—either Polly
Peachum or Princess Royal,—shall do battle for me for
the Bunney Park Stakes. For the Nursery Plate I
shall again pay my addresses to Maggie Lauder, and for
the Forest Plate I shall 13t my fancy stray to Soroerek.
and Trabuco.

Stamford will be as dull and as pleasant as usual. The
probabilities do not require much discussion, for at pre-
sent they attract no notice. Either Tame Deer or Beech-
nut will win the Burghley Stakes. York will placa the
Colleyweston Stakes to Mr. T. Parr's account, and I
shall expeot Sir Colin to beat Turbit, and the bon
legged Loyola for the Stamford St. Leger. The un-
lucky Polestar may gallop away with the Gold Cup, and
in the absence of Gemma di Vergy, I shall select Turbit
for the Kelton Stakes. The two-yrs.old may find it
difficult to get out of the way of Huntington for the
Welland Stakes.

The gathering at Marlborough will be mainly in-
teresting from the running of Squire Watt for the
Savernake Forest Stakes.

A FRESH MAN.

ROYAL TH A MRS YACHT CLUB.

This club closed a prosperous season on Saturday,
with a fine match among buts of the fourth class.
The entry list, which was extremely full, was as
follows:—The Silver Cloud, 8 tons, Mr T. Hewitt;
the Emily, 8 ton., Mr. R. Hewitt; the Quiver, 12
tars, Mr. T. Chamberlain; the Undine, 8 tons,
Mr. E. Searle ; the Cormorant, 10 tone, Mr. J.
T. Talmadge ; the Julia, 7 tons, Mr. P. Turner ;
the Violet, 9 tuna, Mr. J. R. Kirby. lii Graves-
end-reach the Cloudp.issed the Undine, and they
arrived at the Chapman-head in the following
order:—Quiver, 211.4tnin.; Violet, 2h. 6min. lOsec.:
Julia, 2h. 7min. 40see. ; Cormorant, 2h. Bmin.
15sec. ; Emily, 2b. 10min.; Silver Cloud, 2h. 13min.
50sec.; Undine, 211. 16inin. 30sec. They shift d
jibs and topsmls to beat up. All, with the excep-
tion of the Cloud and Emily, took the south shore,
but they made fur the north, which was deemed
impolitic, and by which they appeared to lose con-
siderable Ray. Although both wind and tide wore
foul they made very good way against the ebb; but
the positions of the leading boats were uncharged,
and they finished in the following order:—Quiver
(the winner), 7h. 7 min. 20 sec.; Violet (second
prize), 711. 12tnin. 455c0.; Cormorant, 7 h. 16 win.
20 sec.; Julia,, 7h. 21 ni.;n. 5 sec. Lord Alfred
Paget afterwards presented the prizes with appro-
priate remarks.

THE LONDON AN!) WEST OF' IREL4ND
FISHING AND FISH-MANURE COM-
PANY (LIMITED).

An extraordinary meeting of the shareholders
in thii company was held on Saturday, at the offices
in Gresham House, Sir John Burgoyne in the
chair.
A report, which was printed for the use of th•
shareholders, fully detailed the position of the
company since its establishment ; and after a reca-
pitulation of facts, the board recommended, under
the circumstances :
"1. Abandoning tho present system of fishing
on our own account.
"2. The continuance of the purchase and curing
of fish, and the fishing on the share system.
"If the shareholders agree with these views, it
will be absolutely neccessary to call up the remain-
ing 2/. per share. This sum, together with the
amount realised by the sale of vessels not required
for fishing on the share system, and sale of cured
fish now on hand, will, it is considered, furnish the
captal for carrying on the operations under the pro-
posed new arrangement, and for paying off the ex-
isting liabilities.
"The board, however, suggests that the share-
holders should form a committee to confer with the
directors, in order to deertniue the nature and
extent of future operations."
The result of a very long discussion, involving
no point of great public interest, was, that ie-
solutions were passed unanimously—first, on
the motion of Captain Tyler, R.E , "That
the present meeting is of opinion that pend-
ing the next general meeting the fishing be
given up, fishing by shares continue I in the moat
economical manner, and that the curing of fish,
and the manufacture of fish-manure shall be pro-
ceeded with as long as it shall be shown to be pro-
, litable." Secondly, " That a further call of 2/. be
made upon the shareholders at the proper time,
and that in the meantime the accounts be properly
audited without delay, and that the next general
ordinary meeting be held on this day fort-
night."
The third resolution appointed a committee of
shareholders to confer with the board on the affairs
of the company, past and present.
A vote of thanks was unanimously given to the
chairman.

the sickness, she was only allowed to go a
conse-
quence o
and, in
little farther up the river, and there lie at anchor. A
small steamer went alongside her, on board of which were
Captain Vineent, the Royal Mail Company's superin-
tendent at Southampton ; Messrs. Weblin and Dusatoy,
the health officers ;and Messrs. Obree and Forester, the
tide surveyors. No one was allowed to approach the
mail packet, or even the little steamer that went along-
side for the mails. A Jamaica gentleman, who had acme
friends in the Orinoco, secretly got on board, and there
he was obliged to stay until the ship got pratique, The
mails were thrust from the large to the small steamer by
means of a plank. The eagerness of the passengers to get
on shore and to send letters to their friends was very great;
but no one not belonging to the Orinoco was allowed to
touch any one that did. This caused the greatestconfusion
and noise. While this was going on an outcry was heard
on board, louder even than the screeching of the steam
and the noise on the sponson with the passengers.
A fireman, apparently in liquor, bad struck an officer,
and was following up the blow with others. The cap-
tain, a powerful man, rushed to the spot, and with one
e
blow knocked the fireman down, and in less than
evd
minutes the fellow was in irons. The Orinoco obthain
