SPORTING NOTES.

•Tho Newmarket October Meeting, which commences
to-day, will witness the decision of the second last of the

groat autumn handicapF.

To-morrow (Tuesday) the

most conspicuous fcaturos in th 3 list aro the Cestre-

witch. and Clearwell. Thu Oesarowitch liand:cap (2-1
miles) will attract a Et.ong fiold, notwithstanding the
favour in which Blue Gown and other •horsos are at pre-
sent hsli. Paul Jones is ovarweighted, and is not nearly
so pool a horse as his owner believes him to bs. Hermit
- _

will perhaps do battle for the Chapliu-Maehell division,
and that ho will play a pnituinent part in at.) race wo
have little doubt, as lie is not overw•oighted at gat, when

it is remembered he is a Dc,rhy winner. Now that ilium is

amiss, Cliff's stable will have to rely on Kidderminster, ist
6'b ; but alth :ugh the 1.1.3t-nvned horse will stay the dis-
_

tango, ova h tvo no fa icy fir him, neither should I have had

for Ilium hal h 3 kept well. Cowley 73 pair are TEO
Marine: aid Papillon, an I the first-named, though ho
not well in, will wobah:y run iu Mr. Braylay's interests,
with little chance, however, of winning. Marquis of C:a•a-
has is said to be a useful outsider, but 1 think him an

overrated horso. Guy of Warwick, Knight Errant, and
the colt by Toni Bowline out of Makeshift, are Joseph
Dawsou's lot; but although Knight Errant is a good horse
when his day arrives, I cannot trust either of this trio
_ _ _

for tho raco under notice. In Mat. Dawson's team

thero is no Julius, as Casco Teti and Llead Centre

are tdoderate, and. Honesty is not. the good horse the
public believe him to be. J. Dawson may have a
good favourite in Donaldbain, Mercury, or Minster
Bell, most probably Mercury, as Donaldbain is a very
_ _

shifty customer, Land Minster Bell a thorough jade.
.Tohn Day has not a second Lecturer in Birdseoker or
Herald; but T. Day has a useful filly in Lady Raglan,

who will be hard to beat. William Day is represented

by The Special and Our Mary Ann, and th 3 former horse,
if wanted, is sure to figure in the front ranks. At present

the market wears a suspicious aspect respecting The

Special, but should he be resuscitated 1 shall place him

on my reserve list, as there is a good race in this horse

yet. Choral, Black Diamond, and Elmira are indifferent

animals, though Black Diamond, who is the best of the
trio, will slag the course. Reltub, who is turned loose, is
a bad horse, and will not, we should imagine, see the

post. Etoile Filante goes fast, but cannot stay. Blueskin

and Corsair aro Idr. Savile's pair, and fur the first-named
horse we have a strong penchant, as he is one of the

ganint colts ever foaled, and will be galloping when
a lot of the impostors are beaten off. Abargeldie will
not stay the distance, and his stable companion,
judging by the tou' of the market, will be re-
served for the Cambridgeshire. The filly by
Newminster out of the Irish (4,1e3n will prove the best of
W. Goatees lot, as 0 wain Glyndwr is an Warm horse, and

Romping Girl is over-weighted. Goodwood is a game,
honest horse, and will beat more than beats him, as stay-
ing is the forte of this son of Rataplan. Capsicum has no
chance of winning, as his antecedents ara bad. Restitu-
tion will represent Baron Rothschild. East Lancashire is a

patched-up horse, and has lost the find racing qualities hi
onca possessed. Mr. Hughes's lot are Ackworth, Planet,
Redcap, and Young Rapid. From this lot a dangerous
opponent to the leading Livourites will come, and it
will no doubt be Planet, who, I am infoaned, has tic-

quitted himself in a recent trial to the satisfaction of
his astute owner; and whatever beats this useful son
of Lainbton will, in my opinion, win the Cosarowitch.
The French team,in which are Gondolier,Nelusko, Netuea,

and Pietro—the latter of whom, however, is not the pro-

pi‘rty of Count Lagrange—present a bold front, and the
b -st, which we take to be Pietro, will take an infinity of
beating. Kingsland will be reserved for the Cambridge-
shire, in which race ho is certain to figure in the front
ranks. Cecil is a good horse, and if brought out for this
race will, in my judgment, beat every three-year-old en-
gaged, save Blnekskin and Lady Raglan. Blue Gown
promises to be one of the strongest handicap favourites
ever known ; but Bst 111 b is a " steadier" for a compara-
tively small horse over this severe course, and I cannot
even assign a place to Sir Joseph Hawley's colt, as some of
the light-weighted three-year-olds aro sure to hunt down
the clever son of Beadsman in the last quarter of a mile of the
race. Tho Spy has never run like a stayer, and, more-
over, no boy can get this lazy son of Underhand out.
Mexico and Bandmaster have recently been amiss, though
the latter, if he only stands a preparation, will one day
prove a good horse. Runic is a bad-shouldered pony, and
Wadlow's second string, See Saw, is put out of court by
his 71b penalty. Dalby will not start, but his owner's
interests are likely to be represented by one of the Epsoin
candidates. Safety is a slow, gime filly, but her light
impost may bring her home in the front division, though
she does not reed like a winner. Stradbroke lam
tired of waiting for, but his owner is sanguine of win-
ning, and vows the horse will beat all the leading
favourites; and, as Stradbroke can stay the course,
'he may run better t'aan he did at Chester
and Goodwood. T 4 rd Stanford's string includes Charn-
wood, Vale Royal, and Warrington, all of wheat
are good horses. Judging by the present asp:'ct of the
mark .t, Warrington will be the trusted one, and that ho
will run we have little (hub': Still he is not bred like a
stayer, and I apprehen 1 Warrington will act better in
the Cambridgeshire than in the Ccsarewitch. Ecertd is a
mean-looking horse. Tormentor has lost all heart, thettg4
she is remarkably weal treatel in this race. Ward Jur 11.3
not been seen is puhlic this year, and 1 a n,

up these remarks, I have only to retain Lily

reducing them, I shall star 1 or fall with

TniTs afternoon Inspector Silverton and Sageai

taking place by the arrest of one of the princip

persons eugaged to take part in the " mill." .
Daniel Rooke was placed before Mr. Flowe
at Bow-street • Police-court, arrested oa a warra.

charging him with being about to commit a break

of the peace.
Inspector Silverton sAid —I am inspector of th
C division of police. I have been engaged rnaki❑

inquiries respecting the prisoner with Sergem

Palmer, a detective, add fritn those inquiries
applied at this court on Thursday last for
warrant, which was granted, against a peat
named Itooke. This morning, I, in compat,
with Sergeant Palmer went to Watford, and mat.
inquiry there respecting the prisoner. I receivid
description of a young a 6traugff, who w

what he found there.

Mr. Flower—He denied, then, that hid nan
was Rooke ?

Inspector Silverton—He did, sir.
Sergeant Palmer, of the detective police, said,
was in company with the last witness when he too

Capel-road, Bushey. In his coat pocket I foul,
a letter addressed " Mr. Itooke," apparently fro

his wife. I went back to Inspector Silverton, aL
asked the prisoner if that was his letter ? He slit

" Well, no use denying it, it is ;it is from w ,
wife." I then said, "is your name Rooke," an 1 1
said " Yes." I then showed him an extra(
I had made from Bell's Life :—" Oct.
Goller and O'Rooke, £25 a.siic, at Bst 21b, LDudo
district," and asked if he was one of the party. h t
said he was sorry that he had been prevented meet.
ing Goller, as he should like to have had a turn a
him for love, and that he was sure to " land," tht
was, win. I then read him the following notic:,
from Bell's Lift of to-day :
" GOLLER AND ROOKE, £i3 A SIDE, AT BST 2LB.—W
received the final deposit of X 5 a side yesterday, m
good all the money from those metropolitan lads for the..
mill at Bst 21b, for £25 a side, which will take place dui.
ing the week. Goller can be heard of at Teddy Why'
man's, Bricklayers' Arms, Tonbridge-street, Easton-ma
and Rooks at A. Hodges's, Green Dragon, Brill-rol
Somerstown. The greatest secrecy will be kept, and t 1,4
men start under sealed orders."
Mr. Flower—You hear what has been state
Rooke. What have you to say ?
R.ooke—Nothing, your worship. It's all true.
Mr. Flower—Well, then, I must hold you t ;
bail. I suppose you can get it. I shall direct tht.
you find two sureties in £5O, and yourself in £lot
Rooke —I hope you won't put it so high as that.
It's the first time 1 ever was eng tged in such
matter, and I will faithfully promise that I'll nevt.-
appear before you again, if you will look over
this time.
Mr. Flower—Well, as that is the case, I wi
reduce the bail to two sureties of £3O, and yourst
in £lOO, to keep the peace to all her Majesty's snl,
jects for 12 months.
Inspector Silverton—As the fight is announct.
for Tuesday next, I must ask that 21 hours' notiL
be given.
The prisoner was locked up.
