SPORTING NOTES.

SPORT IN THE SOUTH.

To-day the racing saturnalia in the North commenced,
and to-morrow the gentlemen of the Bibury Club will
inaugurate the sport in the South. The gatherings at
Stockbridge and Winchester will attract a large number
of gentlemen turfites, and the events to be decided on
Tuesday, at least, will be particularly interesting. The
pleasant ride to and from Andover or Winchester, each
day, forms an additional element in the popularity of
the trio of Hampshire meetings. The company will as
usual be dispersed, but it is questionable, now the rail-
way is opened direct to Andover, whether many gentle-
men will sojourn at Winchester, where the hotel keepers
have put sued the " railing system" to an extent which
they will find has ruined their trade.
The diversions of the gentlemen riders to-morrow
will perhaps be scarcely as interesting to the spec-
tators as to the "performers." Much will depend upon
the skill of the jockey, but as each person is likely to
back his " mount," bookmakers may find brisk employ.
ment. Alembic is not unfavourably weighted for the
Bibury Stakes, and, with Captain Little in the saddle,
I shall be induced to place confidence in his success.
For the Handicap Sweepstakes—" jockey ridersi'—my
fancy points to Gaberlunzie and Georgie.
The Champagne Stakes may be carried off by one of
Lord Anglesey's nominations—perhaps Bridal Tour. If
King of the Forest be fit and well, he shall claim my
allegiance for the 50 Sovs. Sweepstakes.
The growing popularity of the Stockbridge meeting
must be not a little gratifying to Mr John Day, whose
efforts to improve the character of the sport have been
signally successful. The great St. Levr champion,
Ignoramus, will be sent from the north to do battle
against Anton, the southern Derby " pet"—and, in
fact, the meeting possesses " mettle" attractive enough
to draw representatives from nearly every training esta-
blishment of importance in the kingdom. The pro-
gramme looks quite formidable with its Triennial
Stakes, but so far as the numerical strength of the field
is concerned it will bear comparison with the Hidalgo's
supper, which consisted of very little meat but a great
deal of table-cloth. _ _ _

The Triennial Stakes for four-yr.olls will, perhaps,
cause two old opponents—Rogerthorpe and Aleppo—t•
be again pitted against one another. Rogerthorpe will
have 41bs the worst of the weights, and in consideration
of the dead heat which he ran with Aleppo last year at
York I am induced to believe that on this occasion
Aleppo may succeed in getting his head sufficiently far
in front to catch the judge's es!.
Anton may go to the post unopposed for the Trim
nial Stakes for thrse-yr-olds. Ike race of the day,
however, will be that between Ignoramus and Anton,
and the result will determine the St. Leger pretensions
of each. Despite the rumours which state Ignoramus
to be only a few pounds better than Skirmisher, I be-
lieve him quite good enough to beat Anton.
By carrying off the Mottisfont Stakes, woodnymph
may repay her noble owner her " travelling_bill " from
the far Nortb. I see nothing in the list of nominations
for the Stewards' Plate that attracts my fancy so much
as the Chevalier d'lndnstric, who, if he bad not made
such severe running at Ascot, might have given Skir•
misher some trouble before he secured the Cup.
The new law framed by the committee at Tattersall's
merely reduces the time allowed defaulters to settle their
accounts from two years to one. It was framed in con-
sequence of the return of a gentleman whose speculations
in Wild Dayrell's year were most "indiscreet." I may
have an opportunity of referring fully to this matter.
A FRESH MAN.
