SPORTING NOTES.

PAST DOINGS AT NEWMARKET, AND

COMING EVENTS AT YORK.

Tne racing at Newmarket last week has produced a
telling effect in the Turf Market, Both directly and
indirectly it was the cause of a complete change in the
betting with respect to certain horses. The Danebury
stable seems again to be in immense force, and the run-
ning of Hurdle, Ayacanora, &c., was sufficient to induce
the public to " follow suit," when certain powerful sup-
porters of the stable were seen lumping the money on
Anton. For both Two Thousand and Derby this horse
was in greater demand than any other animal during
the meeting, and his plucky owner offered to match him
against Kent for 10,0001. He was, however, accommo-
dated for 3,0001., and the cry about the degeneration of
the turf seems certainly very absurd, when noblamen
like Lords Glasgow and Derby pursue the sport with
sufficient spirit to back their respective horses for a cool
thousand, and when the owners of Anson and Kent
boldly come forward and match their horses for three
thousand I

Anton was last year well thought of by his stable,
but his performances were scarcely deemed satisfactory
by the cognoscenti. He seemed a light, flashy animal,
and he exhibited a temper which his Derby backers
doubtless desire to see cured. Anton certaialy did not
appear to me to be an animal of more than' ordinary pre-
tensions, and he must not only have wintered wonder-
fully well, but his form and appearance must have un-
dergone a great change if he be now the horse which his
partisans describe. Glenmasson had "nothing to beat,"
or his performance did not improve his price in the Derby
betting. He seems a nice lady's horse, as clean and as
pretty as paint. He shows plenty of daylight under him,
and, in my opinion, is not built for staying. Both in
looks and style of going Kent contrasted strikingly
with Anton and Glenmasson. Large boned, and
powerful, with a peculiar rolling, lazy action, he reminds
one more of the plates one sees of eld fashioned racers of
the Selim and Camel stamp than of the modern flyers.
He is a tall chesnut with a white face, and when stand-
ing he seems as strong and as powerful as a cart horse.
When galloping he strikes the ground somewhat heavily,
and this circumstance induced people to fancy that he
will tire on a bill. He requires plenty of " holding
together," and only a jockey of the Sam Rogers and
Jena Robinson school will be able to bring him out
effectually. The Newmarket touts declare that he is
the best horse that has been in Newmarket since Bay
Middleton, but this they have avowed of nearly
every animal that has been in the town since the
retirement of that " Turf Celebrity." I have conceived
a great fondness for Kent, and I shall be much sur-
prised if he do not land Lord Londesborough's colours
iu triumph for the Guineas.
The knocking about of Sydney has been most per-
plexing, for althougta the horse is said to be " remarkably
well," yet the opposition in the market does not dimi-
nish. His owner at Newmarket took 2,100 to 300
about bins in one bet, and this " demonstration" pro-
duced only a temporary effect, for within two hours
afterwards 10 to 1 was laid, and on the following morn.
ing 100 to 8 was betted. Some people seek other causes
than the.alleged demerit of the horse to explain for the
violent hostility which Sydney has encountered.
The Port Stakes proved an interesting race, but Van-
dermeulin would have saved Lord Glasgow his " thow"
if ee had been ridden with any skill. As it was Flatman
waited with the consummate patience of a true artist,
and, taking advantage of the incompetence of " Van-
der'a" rider, landed Fazzoletto first past the post with-
out difficulty.

Before these notes are in type a large detachment of
metropolitan sportsmen will be en route to the "city of
unknown antiquity." The sports on the Knavesmike
retain their attraction, and although in certain in-
stances the fields may be somewhat small, yet the
racing altogether promises to be most interesting. The
Zetland Stakes is the first item on paper, and it will
bring out about eight or nine not very formidable two
yrs old. Volatore showed such go-od form at North-
ampton that I am induced to trust him at York.
It is said that not more than a dozen competitors are
likely to be stripped for the Groat Northern Handicap,
and to judge from the betting—not always a
trustworthy guide—the race will be limited to
three animals. Chevalier d'lndustrie has been
highly tried, and his owner deems him quite capable of
bowling over the "cracks" Skirmisher and St. Giles.
For the Chevalier I always entertained a strong par-
tiality, and I certainly share, to some extent, his owner's
" fondness." He receives 2 lbs. from Skirmisher and 3
lbs. from St. Odes; the advantage in weight is not, there-
fore, very great over the Northampton heroes. Of the
outriders,Assayer and Pantomime must attract my fancy,
and in assigning the foremost positions to
CHEVALIER DINDUSTRIE, AND THE ASSAYER,
I do not think I shall be far out in my anticipation of
the judge's decision.
It is said that Ignoramus and Gamma di Vergy will
meet for the Spring St. Leger. I have so frequently
trusted Jemmy without having cause to regret my con-
fidence that I shall not desert him now. For the
Knavesmine Plate, I shall select Wardermareke and Odd
Trick.

Should Apathy be brought out for the Biennial
Stakes, I shall have littl3 hesitation in "standing"
him. Of the 53 nominations for the Londesborough Cup
the most attractive names appear to be Hospitality, Bel
Esperanza, Dulcamara, Evelyn, and Stormsail. Were I
compelled to "stand on two" I do not think that I could
make a better selection than Bel Esperanza and Dulca•
mara. The latter, however, may be reserved for the
Flying Dutchman's Handicap, and in that case I shall
expect him to administer the " elixir" to his backers,
unless, indeed, the Ma Mie colt be " called in."
The Malton Meeting will pleasantly wind up the sport
in the North. Many of the events appointed for deci-
sion will so materially depend upon the running at York
that I shall not attempt to determine the probabilities.
