SPORTING NOTES.

Next year the Carlisle meeting will take place the same
week as Newcastle, which will add greatly to its success,
and prevent its clashing with the Newmarket and Worcester
races. ale principal ovens at Carlisle on the first clay were
the Cumberland Plate and her Majesty's Plate. Prince of
Denmark and Jucy Jones (the winner of the Northumber-
land Plate) were ivade equal favourites at 2 to 1 for the
former, but the race never was in doubt, and Mr. Barber's
horse won in a canter. Underhand was the favourite for
her Majesty's Plate, which he appeared to be winning so
easily opposite the Stand that one gentleman offered 100 to
5 on him when loading about halt a length, but within
about 50 yards of the chair he " savaged" Lord Zetland's
horse, and John Osborne seizing the opportunity, landed.
Bivouac the winner by a heall The Lottery Stake on
the second day brought 'out the largest field of the
meeting, and Interest won easily, Underhand meet-
ing with a disappointment by running over a pis at
the last turn, which sent him down on his head.
The Trial Stakes, at Worcester, formerly a handicap, ob-
tained a very peer entry, and requires no mention here
beyond the extraordinary hollow affair it turned out for
Conqueror. Considerable disappointment was also ex-
pressed when the telegraph board displayed two runners
only—Billy Dwindles and Kildonan—for the Crown()
Stakes, whilst the easy defeat of Mr. Parr's colt came like
a thunderclap on those who cared not to watch the market
operations at the close. In the Fifty Sovs. Plate, which.
succeeded, Curlew easily disposed of the moderate lot op-
posed to him, after a waiting race. The order of running
first published having been reversed on the claim of Mr.
Cartwright overnight, placed the Worcestershire Stakes
just one hour later than usual, namely, at 4.30. Eleven
sported silk, Fairwater and Von Strewn being at one time
nearly equal favourites. As will be seen from our details
of the race, the mare won easily, but the concluding scene
will not soon be forgotten. Through running inside a flag,
Von Stroom obtained a tremendous lead, but at rather
more than half a mile from home his opponents got on
better terms with him, and the riders of Fairwater and
Jesuit having observed the mistake, shouted to Jim
Snowden to stop his horse. This Snowden asserts was
impossible, as he pulled so hard. Consequently on came
Von Stroom with a clear lead to the upper end of the
enclosure, when he was " brought to" by a palpable pull,
whereby Fairwater slipped in an easy winner. The
row that ensued beggars description. On his
way to the saddling paddock Snowden was assailed by
groans and hisses on all sides, blows were dealt at him, and
eventually a rush was made to pull him out of the saddle.
The police and a few friends, however, surrounded and
carried the boy to the weighing-room, whence it was found
advisable to remove him to the reporter's private apartment.
Snowden protested that it was all the result of accident,
and when asked why he had not ridden on to the end, de-
clared that he scarcely knew what he was doing, having, in
fait, quite "lost his head." Another statement he made
was to the effect that, at the spot where he went wrong,
some parties had placed additional posts since he had can-

tered round that morning. This is wholly untrue, as was
proved by an immediate examination of the ground. Hav-
ing admitted the mistake, no investigation was gone into
before the stewards, who, however, ordered Snowden to bo
suspended during the meeting. The excitement cooled
down when the public became acquainted with the parti-
culars of the case, and Snowden roamed at large unmo-
lested half an hour afterwards. There are some who be-
lieve Von Stroom would have walked in, but there aro also
good judges who hold that, with a straight-run race, it
would have been a very near thing between him and Fair-
water. It is duo to the owner of Von Stroom to mention
that he backed his horse, and that the ring evinced pretty
general sympathy with him in having a missed a tolerably
good stake. The second money was duly claimed at the
scale, and awarded to Waterford. The day's sport con-
cluded with the City Plat 2, which Diadem, not supported
for a shilling, carried off cleverly.
The meeting at Liverpool, this week, extends over three
days.
For the Trial Stakes Hesper appears the most favourably
weighted, and with a start I shall trust to her alone. In
the Bentinek Handicap Sir William looks the most dan-
gerous, but, as he may be reserved for Goodwood, I shall

trust to one of Col. Towneley's; either Yorkminster or
Doefoct.

The Lancashire Produce Stakes has a splendid entry of
49, upon seven of which death has laid its heavy hand—a
rather startling mortality, being a seventh of the whole.
A large majority of those nominated are " dark," conse-
quently a considerable field may be expected to reach the
starting-post ; but, as we have recently seen both the Derby
Stakes and Chesterfield cut into nothing, it may be no better
here. Costa has a penalty of 51b., but from the easy manner
he cut down those opposed to him in the Chesterfield last
week, I again anticipate his success on this occasion. Wed-
nesday, the Cup day, has with that event four others in the
list, only one of which remains unclosed. The Cup has a
poor acceptance, only 25 having remained in of the 68 en-
tered. Slingsby will be the representative of the White-
wall stable, and from his light weight he ought to be very
forward at the finish. Ivanhoff with all his weight will be
hard 'to beat. For the Brewer I have no fancy. Feodo-
rowna has had a thorough preparation, and will be ridden by
G rimshaw. Doefoot, Yorkminster, Weatherwitch, General
Hesse, Heiress, Itussley, and;Flash-in• the-Pan ,are well ire
but I anticipate the winner will be either

FEODOROWNA OR IVANHOFF,
with HEIRESS for a cockboat. _ _

The Mersey Stakes are a certainty for Buckstone.
The events to be decided on Thursday are entirely de-
pendent on previous running.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER.-SATURDAY.

There was not a great amount of business done, and often
under such circumstances it is most difficult to make out
correct quotations, so that if commissions sent cannot be
executed at the prices quoted the fault is not ours, but must
be attributed to that practical humour which enables its
possessor quietly to ascertain that the supporters of par-
ticular animals are not present. Then "most ruinous odds,"
are offered (we can only say they were offered, &c.), and
there we presume our duty begins and ends. To-day Ivan-
, hoff, Heiress, and Feodorowna were backed for the Liver-
pool Cup at the prices quoted, and for the Goodwood Stakes
Shipwreck, Schism, and Starke; and although West End
and Canary are at long shots, they were supported as freely
as anything in the race.
