SPORTING NOTES.

WHO IS DOING WHAT l-'

•" Taus."

The question propounded by the Times in language
more terse than elegant, fitly applies to the present state
of the Turf. it is not difficult to determine "who
is doing what 1" Turfites generally are preparing them-
selves for the campaign at head-quarters, and are really
putting themselves in training for the cold winchi and
cutting breezes of Newmarket Heath. Mr. Topham and
other clerks of courses who have autumn meetings to
conduct, are busily bestirring themselves to obtain nomi-
nations, whilst the promoters of steeple chases and the
owners of " jumpers," generally have already commence 4
preparations for their cross ciuntry pastimes. Soon,
too, will every wood and glen echo to the huntsman's
hallos, and give back the " baying of the deep-mouthed
hounds." Indeed, in many ,counties diub hunting bail
commenced, and the other day I was warned of the
rapid close of the racing season, by meeting a
couple of well-mounted " red coats," in a green lane•
The Newmarket folk are all activity, fcr, in addition to
their races, they have been forming plans for a series Of
winter entertainments to take place in the Assembly
Rooms. "Who are doing what 1" might be still further
explained, but time and space compel me to pat the question
in a prospective form, and endeavour to show Who voi:1
be Doing What 1• at Newmarket.
The "First October"—the very name is redolent of
decaying leaves and driving fogs—will oommence to•`
morrow with perhaps an unusually well filled list. The
only new item in the programme is a weight for age
plate, after the model of the " Zotland," at Doncaster►
and this event will inaugurate the proceedings. The
cards of the day will contain their well known charae'
teristics, albeit the Triennials are not likely to furnish
encounters which will influence speculation on coming
events.

- - ---
For the Triennial for three-year-olds I shall expect to
se?, Beechnut acd Aycanora in front, my preference beivli
'or Lord Exeter's filly, on account of the doubtful star

ing qualities of Ayacanora.
Star of the East may make an interesting race with
Blanche of Middlebie for the Buckenhana Stakes, but.
he will, I opine, be compelled 'to hide his "diminished
head" by the slashing Blanche.
Anton will, of course, be made a great favourite for
the Grand Duke Michael, but he may experience sours
difficulty in shaking off Turbit.
The Eastern Counties Handicap is likely to attract
nearly t senty runners to the post. To discuss th•
chances seriatim, would afford neither interest nor lad
struction to the reader. I shall, therefore, dismiss the
event by stating my conviction that Kestrel and Bads'
worth will be "handy" at the finish.
Hepatica and July seem to be the most promising
names on paper f.,r the Hopeful Stakes. Walhor.
Aleppo, and Pitapat will, perhapo, be the soundest
animals at the post for the Triennial Stakes for four-year
olds, and Aleppo may run the longest. Skirmisher,
who, by the way, has just joined Scott's lot, in cope*
'ence, it is said, of the declaration about Vedette for
the Great Yorkshire Stakes, will experience no difficulty
in winning the St. Leger. The Granby Stakes I assign

to the Flying Duke.
Very little intormation can at present be collected
relative to the probable starters for the Triennial Staked
for two-year-olds. John Scott may send ode. and :that
one may be the winner. Surely Cock•ascloodle.doo
ought to be capable of winning the Rutland Stake*
not, the sooner he is entered for a saddle and bridle
race at Barnet the better. Mr. F. Robinson will, Pat
haps, win both his matches, and Aster may beau

Rhisus.
In the course of the week I will endeavour to gather
a few notions about Cesarewitch horses, and will coet:
municate them to the reader amongst my next "Notes.
