SPORTING NOTES.
No. XII.
" There is a tide in the affairs of men,
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat ;
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures."

SHAKSPEKE.

"`There is a tide in the affairs of men,
Which, taken at the iluod'—you' know the rest,
And most of• us have found it, now and then;
At, lsast*we.think so, though but few have 'guested
The torrent, till too late to come again.
But uo doubt everything is for the best—
Of which the surest sign is i❑ the end:
When things are at the worst they sometimes mend."
At least I have found it so; for after having been
knocked off my perch on the Lerby, and in the forepart
of the Ascot week; with the victory of Lord Egliaton's
equine wonder of the world, the tide of fortune turned,
and has since continued to flow steadily in my favour;
for, with the exception of the First Triennial Stakes at
Stockbridge, my anticipations of the last week were
verified iu every instance, and they would have been in
that likewise bad not Lord U. G. Lennox been of opinion
that Compass was quite good enough to dispose of the
crack, Cariboo, and thereore sent him instead of my
selection, Thu Btehunier, to represent the Goodwood
st inle.

The racing at Newcastle requires but few remarks:—
'Englithd'a Glory, a candidate for the Bet by, 1851, won
the Tyro easily ; Eltbiron, ist 71b, just msnaged to beat
Roland, Est lib, by a head for the Northumberland
Plate, the latter having only a neck the best cf Glauca,
7st 71h, wbc, by the bye, will do a clever thing yet before
the yezr is out ; The Maid of learn Valley, with 'a re-
spectable weight up, won the Blembers! Plate do very
easily that she must not be despised for any race she
may be entered for at a reasonable weight;. Mickleton
at last found himself in such company. that he could
manage for once to be A 1, winning the Lottery Stakes
cleverly by a neck; and, as a finish to , the .northern
meeting, Csnesou, with her race in hand from end to
end, won the Gold Cup from Aehyrantes easily by a
38 neck 1

,--

There are several meetings during the present week,
but only two requiring notice at my hands, the Carlisle,
and Newmarket July. At the former, the Cumberland
Plate, to be run on Tuesday, will attract to the post a
small field, consisting of Lady Hylda, 6 yrs, Bst 6lb ;
Ada'Mary, 4 yrs, let ; Reality, 5 yrs, Est 61b ; Jowly
Lind, 4 yrs, Est; and, possibly, one of the light weights,
Mark Tapley. Seignor of Holderness, or French Susy.
The result however, I anticipate will be in favour of
Jenny Lind, with one of the light weights or Ada Mary
second.

For the July Stakes at Newmarket, run likewise on
Tuesday, the following are the probable starters:—
Oleander, Phlegra, colt by St. Francis, Venus filly;
Miserrima, Hippogriff, Virago and Palmyra fillies,
Hatherton," Whisper (doubtful), colt by Kremlin (doubt-
ful), Olivia (doubtful), Ariosto (doubtful), and Grecian;
the last named, according to all accounte, and his soli-
tary public performance, the. winner ; yet it would be
advisable for the admirers of the Grecian hero, in case
Oleander or Miserrima should be iEclined by winning to
render them niiiierable, to keep them on the safe side, for
they're both clippers in a small way of business ;
Phlegra, the Venus filly, and Ariosto are the next beet,
though possessing no chance of bowling 'the Greeks
over.
The Chesterfield Stakes depend so much on the re-
sult of the July that I will not hezard an opinion, merely
remarking, that Oleander, Prestige, Phlegra, Turtle,
Mi,errimo, and AriOsto, are the most formidable of the
43 nominations; on Wednesday evening, in the column'
of The Sun, I will'give a final opinion.
For the Liverpool Cup, run next week, the Wild Rose
of Wadlow's stable, et List 51b, Cockermouth at 6st 131 b,
The Maid of Team Valley at Est 121 b, Backbiter at 7st 91b,
SaUcy Dick at 7st, Windiscbgratz at sst 71b, and that
very slow coach, the Seignor of Holderness at sst, seem
to me to have a great pull over the remaining forty-
three entaes. At the present time I should se:e:A Wild
Rose and • Cockermouth to do the deed of note, the for•
mer for choice if they mean mischief with him ; W in-
di,,chgratx, if it comes to a struggle, must be content to
play second fiddle, and Backbiter will, I fancy, run very
forward, probably third or fourth, but no nearer; more

THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.
July 1, 1850.

VAUXHALL-GARDENs.—DISASTER TO THE BAL.-
LOON.—On Saturday evening his Excellency the Nepaulese
Ambassador (who, on the Saturday previous, was unable to
be present at the ascent of the Nassau balloon) visited these
gardens, accompanied by his brother and a very large suite,
to witness the ascent of Mr. Green and Mr. Rush. They
were received by Mr. Wardell, the lessee, and conducted to
the firework-ground, where they inspected the aerial ma-
chine; and, shortly after their arrival, at a quarter to eight
o'clock, the ascent took place. The balloon rapidly attained
a great elevation, and took an easterly direction. The Ne-
paulese visitors afterwards promenaded the gardens, attract•
ing the attention of the crowd who were assembled; and,
having witnessed the whole of the entertainments, the fire-
' works, &c., and expressed their gratification, retired. In
the mean time the balloon bad made its way through the
clouds towards Gravesend, beyond which place its descent
was accompanied witk imminent peril to the lives of the
aeronauts. At a quarter to nine o'clock or thereabons
it passed over that town, its course being directly
eastward, but from some cause which has not transpired, it
afterwards descended in the river near the Jenkin buoy. A
barge which was at a short distance from the spot made to-
wards it; the crew succeeded in rescuing both Mr. Green
'and Mr. Rush from the balloon, which was rapidly floating
down the river. The Revenue cutter Fly also proceeded to
the rescue, and having grappled the balloon found it impos-
sible to check its progress until, by discharging muskets into
it, they made vents for the escape of the gas. It then col-
lapsed and was placed with the aeronauts in the barge and
taken to Gravesend, where it arrived about four o'clock yes-
terday morning.. Itlr. Green and Mr. Kush shortly after
returned to London. The first-named gentleman is very
much hurt on the head and face, probably from his efforts to
keep on the balloon, which was continually rolling and turn-
in., over on the surface of the water.
