SPORTING OPINIONS.

The Bath Meeting, which was formerly of great im-
portance, owing to the Derby movements on Lansdown,
has of late years passed over without any demonstration
being made against the leading Epsom favourites. What
the present anniversary will bring :forth remains to be
seen ; but as few Derby horses are engaged at Bath, we
do not apprehend that a candidate will be found to disturb
the positions of Lady Elizabeth and Rosicrucian, though
one or more of the impostors who now hold false positions
in the betting returns may be sent to the right-about at
the Somersetshire gathering. The bill of fare issued by
Mr. Reynolds for Tuesday and Wednesday includes fourteen
races, but the entries to several of the handicaps are not up
to the usual Bath standard. Five items have closed for the
first day, and the Beaufort Cup (about 21 miles) has at-
tracted a magnificent entry of thirty-two. Amongst the
horses engaged, the most noteworthy are Achievement,
Knight of the Garter, Speculum, Julius, Vauban, Fran-
chise, Romping Girl, Blinkhoolie, Lecturer, Goodwood,
Friponnier, Lord Lyon, Dalby, Tormentor, Phaeton, and
Gomera. A keen contest may be anticipated, if Achieve-
ment, Julius, Blinkhoolie (or Knight of the Garter),
Friponnier, and Goodwood meet. Achievement is penal-
ised 1 lb for winning the Doncaster St. Leger and Cup,
but Julius puts up no extra weight. Colonel Pearson's
gallant filly is, therefore, called upon to concede 61b to
Julius, but, despite the improved form shown by the Duke
of Newcastle's colt, we shall plump for Achievement,
who carried us through the St. Leger with flying colours.
For the Seventeenth Biennial Stakes (11 miles) sixty-three
horses have been nominated, the best of which are St.
Ronan, Cock of the Walk, Picnic, Herald, Astracan, Tym-
panum, Lord Palmerston, Innerdale, Speculum, Phoebus,
Torch, Birdseeker, Grimston, and St. Valentine. If
Speculum puts in an appearance, it needs no seer to predict
his success; but should he be an absentee, St. Ronan or
(;oak of the Walk would prove victorious, although Mr.
Cartwright's Tympanum, by Kettledrum out of Goldfinch,
is understood to be the coming Derby outsider. In the
Seventeenth Biennial Stakes (4 furlongs) sixty-four two-
year-olds have been entered, amongst which are De Vere,
Miss Foote, Standard Bearer, Brother to Cambuscan,
Martyr, Reynard, and Brontia. No penalties attach to
previous winners, and, consequently, De Yore or Miss
Foote should be successful, albeit Martyr a
powerful colt, by St. Albans cut of Eulogy—belongs
to the improving school. The acceptances for the Bath
Handicap (1 mile) are not due till Monday evening ;
but, as the weights now stand, we should take Goojerat
and Arabia as the pair most likely to produce the winner.
For the County Members' Plate (1 mile) 29 horses have
been handicapped, and the weights range from Vespasian,
lOst 31b, to Balvie, sst 101 b. The candidates best in are
Moonbeam, Bst 81b; Mr. Briggs, Est 101 b; Sister to Ve-
dette, Est 71b; and Lily, Est 21b. Moonbeam, although
reputed to be a non-stayer, and Lily are the pair we most
esteem, though John Day will find a formidable candi-
date, as the Danebury trainer has three useful horses
engaged—Cock of the Walk, Mr. Briggs, and Birdseeker.
On Wednesday, in the Somersetshire Stakes (2 miles and
a distance) only 15 horses have accepted from the 46
originally weighted—not a very flattering compliment to
the handicapper. Lord Lyon, 9st 41b, occupies the post
of honour, but, great horse though the triple victor is, ho

trio we prefer the Vixen gelding, as Thalia is uncertain,
and Romping Girl seems to have lost her old form. Ack-
worth, 7et 21b, is well in, and, as he can stay the distance,
he is dangerous. Mariner, 7st, is overweighted ; but he
will beat the next pair on the list—Proserpine, 6st 121 b, and
Othello, Est 61b—although the last-named has been very
leniently treated. Ploughboy, 6st 51b, ran sufficiently well
in the Great Northern to give him a chance at Bath, and
few better-looking horses than this son of Van Galen
and Village Maid will perform in this race. Caucasus,
6st 21b, is a horse likely to act well over the Bath course,
but though he is well in, we suspect he will be found
wanting when the final struggle comes. Vortigern, Est
21b ; Demon, sst 101 b ; and Puff, sst /01b, in addition to
Mariner, are the only three year olds that have accepted,
and the most dangerous of this division is Vortigern, who
is an average horse, and sure to stay the distance. The
younger horses, however, have not the charms for us that
Ploughboy and Ack worth have, and to the better of this
pair the Somersetshire Stakes may tall. For the Dyrham

Demonstration, Est 10Ib, is equal to the occa-
sion. There are nine nominations for the Welter
Stakes (once round and a distance), and mode-
rate though Douro is, he should be successful here
if he can beat Steamboat. Fifty-six two year olds have
been named for the Weston Stakes (straight half-mile),
the most noteworthy of which are De Vere, Standard,
Bearer, Sister to Hermit, Juanita, Hilda, Lady Margaret,
Defender, Martyr, Amazons, Nelson, • Caroline, Lure,
Saladin (late Night Hag), and Badsworth. Carolina, by
Macaroni lout of Caroline, is entitled to an allowance of
51b, and, as she is a smart filly, she is sure to race .

In
d
has been engaged, as Salliet, Athena, Liddington, Bliss,
Nike, Sister to Hermit, and Martyr have been nominated-
Liddington is a great horse over this distance, but wo pre-
fer Athena and Electricity, both of whom have run well in
short races this year.
The Harpenden Meeting will be held on Friday, and a
programme, which includes eight races, has been
issued. The completed items are the Harpenden Handi-
cap, the Wheathaanstead Plate, a Handicap Plate of
100 soya, and the Two-year-old Stakes. For the
Harpenden Handicap (about 11 miles) forty-three horses
of various ages have been weighted. Lucifer, Bst 121 b,
heads the list, and the lowest impost-7-sst 10lb—has been
awarded to Nutpecker, who has been entered without the
knowledge of his owner. The acceptances for this han-
dicap will not be declared until Tuesday next, but the
horses that appear best in are Midwife and Foresight.
There are forty nominations for the Wheathampstead
Plate (about one mile), and the most attractive names
therein are The Skipper, Bst 121 b ; Pirate Chief, Bst ; Mid-
wife, 7st 81b; Easby, 6st 12st ; and Diamond, Est 71b. Of
this lot we retain Pirate Chief and Diamond, though,
if The Skipper can stay the course, he will be bad to shake
off. In the £lOO Handicap Plate (about 41 furlongs), 48
horses have been entered. Those best in are Tumbler,
Bst Seamew, Bst; Lupus, 7st 4lb ; Court Card, Est
1216;12and Dulcet, Est 41b. Lupus, if he can be induced to
lb ;
try, would win in a canter, as he is a good horse ; but, AS
he belongs to the uncertain tribe, we shall trust to Court
Card and Dulcet. The Two Year Old Stakes (about 4
furlongs), has 33 subscriptions, the pick of which are
Pirate Chief, M.A., Master Whiffler, the filly by Stockwell
out of Vergiss-mein-Nicht, Belle of Warwick, and Leha.
M.A. is a very fast colt, and to him and the Vergiss-mein-
Nicht Filly we leave this race.

NEWMARKET.—Thursday— •Ifippia led Suffolk tti rattling
gallop. King Alfred and Restitution did gentle work.
Dalesman, Jasper, the Tim Whiffler colt, and brother to
Poleaxe did some steady work. Typhoeus galloped on the
tan in company with Nine Elms, his owner being present

to see him. Matthew Dawson sent Clairon, Speculum,
and the Vixen colt (4 yrs), who only came here ou Tues-
day, a useful gallop. Gomez's. led Julius, Pericles, Capi-
talist, Gouvernail, and Miss Havelock; all did a good

gallop of about a mile. The Tom Bowline colt was again
doing work on the tan, and going well, as also the Vol-
tigeur filly. Peck sent Warrington and Vale Royal round

;he tan. The following horses engaged from hero at

Bath next week have all done plenty of work, and are

fit to go—Speculum, Lanark, Demonstration, St.
Ronan, Lord Palmerston, Sweet Waters, Ritualist, Grim-
ston, Vespasian, Leases, Ad&manthea, Seville, Julius,
Angus, Gotnera, Goodwood, Knight of the Garter, Othello,
Lure, Goatfol, Little Nell, Amazon, Martyr, Silenus,
Miss Havelock, Puff, Odessa, Badswortb, Sibter to Veda,

Sister to Hermit, and Da Vere. The following others,
who are also engaged, are not yet fit :—Talk o' the Hill,
Vauban, Sealskin, Roquefort, Moleskin, Brother to Cam-
buscan, Brother to Chattanooga, and Diomedia filly. Fri-
day.—The following galloped on the Limekilns :—Othello,
Mars, Licymnia, and Pauline. Silenus led Vixen colt,
Julius, and Gouvernail a good two-mile gallop. Clairon
led Speculum. Auguste led Rabican, Nelusko, Gondolier,
and Enchanteur. Montagnard led Trocadero about a mile
and a half. Clemence led Contempt on the tan. The Maid
of Masham horse (4 yrs) led Griraston, Tom Bowline colt
(3 yrs), and colt by Brother to Bird on the Wind (3 yrs)
round the tan. The Toxophilite horse led Makeshift colt
(3 yrs) and the Young Melbourne filly. Jasper led Resti-
tution, and Suffolk, Hippie,. Dalesman, and Tim Whifder
colt dii their usual work. Typhceus was again on the
tan, going very gently. Marquis of Carabas went a use-
ful gallop. _ _ _

RICHMOND, Thursday.—Lund's head man had out At-
tache, Roderick Random, King Hal, Mysotis, Popgun,
Adamant, Policy, Strathnairn, and Philosopher. This lot
did some good steady work, with the exception of King
Hal, who was in physic. Coates was busy with El Cid,
Lothen, Brantingham, Brennus, and Valtz, who took three
canters, and then El Cid had a slow gallop of two miles,
accompanied in the first three-quarters of a mile by Bren-
nus. Brantingham, .othen, and Valtz galloped up the
moor. Of Elliot's, Stella, • Caprera, Polecat, Rel Tub,
Gleaner, Ashbank, Vedette filly, Sorcerer, Ladas, and La-
rens galloped. From Bolleisle the following put in an
appearance :—Little Nell, Dutchman's Daughter filly,
Number Nip, Mayfit, Hector, Retort, Auchinleck, Hind,
Brother to Shibboleth, Plaudit, Man of Ross, Dryad, Circe,
Flora, Virtue, Buttercup, Last Rose of Summer, and Lord
Ronald. After cantering, Flora led Virtue, Buttercup, and
Last Rose of Summer a slow gallop of about two miles.
Auchinleck, Hind, Mayfit, and Brother to Shibboleth went
a steady gallop of a mile. Lord Ronald went about two
miles at a steady sweating paie, and Man of Ross galloped
a mile. Circe did the same thing gently, and Dryad did
good work. We shall have nothing from here at the Bath
and Somerset Meeting.
MIDDLEIIAM.—Dawson has been sending the following
some nice gallops of a mile and a half :—Czar, Tynedale,
Dean, Brother to Rococo, Derventio, Ready Money, Rosa
Pauline, Neptunus filly, Van Galen filly, and Mercury, all
going and looking remarkably well. The remainder of his
team are cantering, with the exception of Rococo, Man-
drake, and those that ran at York, who are only walking.
Winter is sending his Derby colt out of Viscountess some
nice gallops of a mile and a half. He has also Farceur,
Light Cloud, and Hawthornside in steady work. Osborne
is giving Slap Bang, Pretty John, John Osborne, Jenny
Mills, King's Cross, Minaret, and Master Tom good mile
and a half work. G. Lye is doing strong work with
Comus, who is looking and going first class. Fobert's lot
have taken things easily the last three days.
MALTON—Owing to the York Meeting on Tuesday and
Wednesday, there has been but little done by the horses,
with the exception of Viscount, who was led by Taraban
a rasping gallop of two miles each day. Viscount is worth
a place investment for the Derby. Southminster led the
youngsters, as usual, viz., Raby Whip, Thunder, My Lord,
Royal Oak, Kentish Fire, The Clipper, and Toison d'Or.
The Lapidist's dam filly led Consternation a good gallop
of a mile. The last-named colt is not only the handsomest
but one of the best goers I ever saw. The colt by Cramond
and Flash Emma took a couple of gallops of a mile and a
half, and the Cramond colt was then sent a steady sweat
of four miles, pulling up all right. Thursday.—Amend-
men; Agrippa, Blacklock, Di Spanker, and the Buccaneer
filly were sent a couple of gallops of a mile. Flash Emma,
the Lapidist's dam filly, and Consternation, after cantering,
took a rattling gallop of a mile and a quarter. Taraban
led Viscount a gallop of two miles. My Lord, Royal Oak,
Kentish Fire, Baby Whip, Toison d'Or, and The Clipper
were sent a mile and a quarter, all going freely and well.
The following then had a steady sweat of five miles:—
Taraban, Viscount, Ruby Whip, The Clipper, Kentish Fire,
Toison d'Or, and Thunder.
LTON, Wednesday. —Some good work was got
through. The first to show off were Triana and St.
Agnes, who cantered steadily for a mile. Osprey then
led The Scout, Muscovite colt, and the colt by Prime
Minister a duster the same distance, all pulling up full
of go. Cara and Country Bumpkin galloped half a mile
twice at a smart pace, and then Betlow Lass and the
Prime Minister colt took a gallop of three quarters of a
mile. The former goes better than I ever saw her, and
must not be overlooked the next time she runs. Osprey
then took a clinking mile and a half gallop, and he is sure
to win a great race some day. The following four" wound
awnditth a good mile gallop : —Cara, St.
he colt by Muscovite. Thursday.
upAg
n thees pTr ohcee eselcionugts,
—After walking a long time, Alberta, Woodman, Betlow
Lass, Cara, and the Prime Minister colt were sent a good
gallop of three-quarters of a mile ; while Actasa„ M.A.,
Careful, Congratulator, Precocious, and Maesgwatha only
took a steady canter each.
STANTON.—On Tuesday Rune, Batonnier, Attack colt,
and Christmas Cerro' did a mile and three-quarters. Li-
cymnia and is ordian Knot galloped a mile at a strong
pace. Jove, the Shelah colt, and Palmitine were sent
three-quarters of a mile at full speed. See-Saw did two
miles. Wednesday.—See-Saw, led by Batonnier, gal-
loped about two miles, Christmas Carol following at a
short interval. Ruric and Attack colt went the same
distance. Conundrum, Balkh colt, Morelia filly, Grey
Stocking, Jeanie Deans, Lycimnia, and Parma were sent
a mile, all going well. Ben Block, the Shelah colt, Jove,
Seagull, and Palmitin° went three-quarters of a mile.
Thursday.—Batonnier led See-Saw a rasping gallop, and
considering what the lads each had to carry, I think the
Frenchman went the better of the two, and it must not
be forgotten that Batonnier is engaged in the Derby.
ILSLEY,—Achievement, Lord Lyon, and Dalby aro in
the Beaufort Cup at Bath. The last-named has not done
any work since his return from Chester, but he looks
uncommonly well. Lord Lyon won't run. Achievement
is in first-class condition, and is raking away in rare form.
I think she is sure to beat Julius, and win. Of Achieve-
ment, Lord Lyon, Dalby, and Weather Isle, in the Somer-
setshire Stakes, I should say that neither of the first three
named will run, and Weather Isle cannot stay the distance.
In the Seventeenth Biennial Stakes we have Noyre
Tauren, Lord Falmouth, and Duchess of Athol. The
first-mentioned is a nice colt, but I don't think he is quite
good enough for this race. Of the others I cannot pass
an opinion. Miss Nellie, Jane Eyre, and Sundew are fit
and well for the Weston Stakes. Miss Nellie will be the
best, and will take a deal of doing if she goes for it. Orion
is still going on well for the Derby. After two short
canters he takes a good gallop of a mile and three-quarters
daily, going in fine style, and he is certain to run a good
horse, let whatever win. Friday.—Orion cantered twice
and had a rattling gallop of a mile and three-quarters,
pulling up sound and well. Achievement had two long
steady canters by herself, going freely.
HEDNESFORD.—Uncas went a good sweating gallop on
Monday, of about a mile and a half, and finished well, all
up hill, so that the Derby course won't stop him. He has
been out regularly every day, and is in splendid condition.
The following others of Cliff's have been doing good
work :—Pharoah, Torch, Ilium, gelding by De Clare,
Master Willie, Ambition, Barnabo, Ottoman, Monitor, filly
by Ben Webster, filly by Knight of Mars, and Melody.
Janitor and Monsieur Louis are only taking trotting exer-
ciss. Master Thomas, Retrousse, Verity, Bassoon, Wake-
ful, the Buccaneer filly, Vex, and Namouna have been in
very steady work. Palmer's lot out comprised the Clown,
William, Alicia, and Susan. These have not been doing
any violent work since Chester. Susan has grown very
much, but is rather hot in her temper. Pantaloon is only
walking.
Fismoss—From what I can learn, we are sure to have a
lot of horses at Bath next week. I observe that in the
Biennial Stakes we have Madrid, but it is doubtful whether
ho will go. County Members' Plate.—Sister to Vedette is
a likely starter, and has been doing well lately. Beaufort
Cup.—Romping
Girl, I should think, will not be sent.
Bath Handicap.—Ganymede and Foresight are entered,
but I have not seen the weights.
FYFIELD.—At Bath, in the Sixteenth Biennial Stakes,
Picnic is engaged, and he is very fit, but I don't think he
can win in this company. Seventeenth Biennial.—The
Teterrima filly, lone filly, Lockeridge, St. Albans filly,
Heather Bell, Sagax, and Juanita are well. The lone
filly I think will be the best, and she will be sure to im-
prove ou her Winchester form.
LAMBOURNE.—Judging by the work our horses are do-
ing I expect we shall have a few at path next week. In
the Sixteenth Biennial Patrician and Phoebus are engaged,
and I think Phoebus will be our best, but he cannot have
a great chance. Seventeenth Biennial.— The Morgan La
Faye filly, Disguise, and Albert are in, and the pick of the
three is Disguise: she is a nice filly, but I am afraid she
is not good enough here.
Ersom —On Wednesday Marquis of Worcester, Brown
Jug, Thorndyke, Maid of Avenel, and Vanbrugh did two
nice gallops of a mile. Brilliant; Chivalry, Norfington,
and Onyx were striding along the mile gallop. Spider,
Aurifera, and Eclipse were sent a mile and a quarter at
their best pace. Cecil, Ailesbury,.Uncas, Warlike, Merry
Andrew, Nutpecker, Redivivus,Ulan, and four or five others
did good work. Lord Derby, John Bull, Kismet, Traviata,
Electricity, colt by Neville, Nanny Thormanby, Antias,
Lucina, Juanita, and Queen Ebba wore very busy. Tor-
mentor wont a rattling gallop of a mile and a half. Thurs-
clay—Antias did two Wady canters, and later in the day

left for Salisbury. Friday—Lady Glencora, Tina, colt by
Neptunus, and Vie Dieman cantered twice, and Isabella
and two others had a dust up on Six Mile Hill. Marquis
of Worcester, Vanbrugb, Brown Jug, Thormanby, and
Bonnie Katie weat the mile at a splitting pace. Glen Stuart,
Nutpecker, Pocket Hercules, and Lady Margaret went a
mile twice. Laird of Scotland was taking it easy. Lord
Derby galloped the length of the tau twice, the last time
at a rattling pace. Tormentor, Melbourne, and Baroness
cantered twice, and then Tormentor went a duster over
the tan gallop.
LEWES.-At Bath we have Artist in the first year of
the Seventeenth Biennial Stakes, but as he is not looking
very blooming just now, and will have to meet some good
young ones, I should think he will not be sent. This
morning (Friday), Samson, Choral, Ines, Tom Venon,
Pontus, Burford, and a filly by Master Fenton, after
cantering a mile, galloped the same distance at a good
pace. Burford is a very much improved colt, and I think
there is a good ract in him. Choral, Ines, and Samson
also cantered for a mile, and afterwards Samson galloped
for nearly two miles at a good pace. Samson has much
improved of late, and by the work he is doing I fancy he
will be wanted very soon, if not at Epsom. He has ono
or two very good engagements at Ascot. Ines galloped
about a mile and a half by herself. Lictor has only been
led out the last two days, and I should think it will do him
good, as he is looking very light.
