SPORTING NOTES.

LIVERPOOL, NOTTINGHAM, AND STAMFORD.

The racing at Liverpool last week was satisfactory
enough both with regard to its quality and quantity.
Blink Benny was indulged with a mere canter for the
Lancashire Oaks, and eppeared to be quite recovered
from 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again superseded Ignoramus in the betting as first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 wculd
have been brought out to oppose Adamas on the Friday,
when despite her 91h1. 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. Mellish's odours
were landed in triumph.
The race for the Liverpool Cup showed that BasLi
Bazouk retains all the gameness which he displayed in
the spring, and that Mr. Jackson did not pay much too
dearly fur his whi-tle when he bought Mongrel. Little
R)gerthorpe seems to have lost all form, and the result
of the race would not have been effected even if Flatman
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 foz in. The very
pretty quarrel wlaich was occasioned by the Clerk of tte
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 Osbornes' 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 will not be numerically largo the
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 on
this occasion.

The Nottinghamshire Handicap will not attract many
runners to the post. Ring of the Gipsies and Mongrel
are the most noteworthy names, and it 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 C,tstle Handicap may be
placed to the credit of Sorceress. The representative of
Mes-rs. Barber and Saxon's interest—either Polly
Peachum or Princess Royal,—shall do battle for me for
the Bo❑ney Park Stakes. For the Nursery Plate I
shall again pay my addresses to Maggie Lauder, and for
the Forest Plate I shall let my fancy stray to Sorceress
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 place the
Colleyweston Stakes to Mr. T. Parr's account, and I
shall expect Sir Colin to beat Turbit, and the long
legged Loyola, for the Stamford St. Leger. The un-
lucky Polestar may gallop away with the Gold Cup, and
in the absence pf 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 Tfld MES YACET CLUB.

This club closed a prosperous season on Saturday,
with a fine match among boats 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 tons, Mr. R. Hewitt; the Quiver, 12
tons, Mr. T. Chamberlain; the Undine, 8 tons,
Mr. E. Searle ; the Cormorant, 10 tons, Mr. J.
T. Talmadge ; the Julia, 7 tons, Mr. P. Turner ;
the Violet, 9 tons, Mr. J. R. Kirby. In Graves-
end-reach the Cloudpassed the Undine, and they
arrivei at the Chapman-head in the following
order :—Quiver, 2h.4min.; Violet, 2h. 6min. lOsec.:
Julia, 2b. 7win. 40sec.; Cormorant, 2h. Binin.
15sec. ; Emily, 2h. lOrnin.; Silver Cloud, 211. 13min.
50sec.; Undine, 211. 16min. 30sec. They shift d
jibs and tops.tils 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 way. Although both wind and tide were
foul they made very good way against the ebb; but
the positions of the leading boats were unchingel,
and they finished in the folowing order:—Quiver
(the winner), 7h. 7 min. 20 sec.; Violet (second
prize), 7h. 12min. 45sec. ; Cormorant, 7 h. 16 min.
20 sec.; Julia, 7h. 21 m4l. 5 sec. Lord Alfred
Paget afterwards presented the prizes with appro-
priate remarks.

THE LONDON AND WEST OF IRELAND
FISLIIIVG AND FISH-MANURE COM-
PANY (LIMITED).

An extraordinary meeting of the shareholders
in this company was held on Saturday, at the offices
in Gresham House, Sir John Burgoyne in the
chair.
A report, which was print?d for the use of the
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 the 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
cap tal 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 determine the nature and
extent of future operations."
The result of a very long discussion, involving
no point of great public interest, was, that re-
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 continued in the most
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-
fitable." Secondly, " That a further call of 21. be
made upon the shareholders at the proper time,
and that iu the meantime the accounts be properly
audited without delay, and that the next general
ordinary meeting be held on this day foit-
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
alai' man.

side for the mails. A Jamaica gentleman, who had some
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 theirfriends was very great;
but no one not belonging to the Orinoco was allowed to
touch any one tbatdid. This caused the greatest confusion
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, had struck an officer,
and was following up the blow with others. The cap-
tain, a powerful roan, rushed to the spot, and with one
1
blow knocked the fireman down, and in less than five
minutes the fellow was in irons. The Orinoco obtained
pratique yesterday morning, and entered the Southamp-
,on Dak.
