SPORTIVG INOTES.

The publication of acceptances for the Ceswewitch and
Cambridgeshire Las given rise to sine animated betting.
Gown has been eloetAi favourite for the Cesarewltch
in place of Eastley; but lEueskin, lthe Special, Warring-
ton, kripounier, Beeswing, Cecil, Ilia u, Paul Jones, Tho
Spy, and Suffolk, have each been iu force. Eastley is at
the absurdly low price of 10 to 1 fur Cie Cambri.ig,shire,
which race will be better und.:rstuul whet' the Cesare-
witch is decided than it is at present. In due course we
shall thoroughly analyse th s 3 haadicaps ; but at present
it would be primaturo to express decided opinions, though
we may remark that The Special has been very leniently
handicapped in the Cesarewitch, and Skylark in the Cam-
bridgeshire. _ _ .

There are nearly a dozen meetings—good, bad, and in-
different—in the list of fixtures for next week; but Rich-
mond, Kelso, Monmouth, and Manchester are all that de-
mand notice. For the Richmond Meeting, ou Tuesday
and Wednesday, Air. Craggs has published an average list,
in which there are fourteen races, and twelve of these are
complete. There are twelve acceptances for the Rich-
mond Handicap (about 11 miles), and the weights
range from Strathconan, Bst 121 b, to Ce.tterick, sst 71b.
The "gallant grey," who has been lame, will not run,
and in his absence the race will fall to Mr. Jobnstone's re-
presentative, The Dean or Minster Bell, who.se most dan-
gerous opponent may turn up in Flora. For the Rich-
mond Cup (Grey Stone in) twenty-four horses have been
nominated, and it will bo secured by Watson's selected,
probably Last Rose of Summer, who would have won the
Portland Plate at Doncaster had she got fairly away from
the starting post. In the Members' Plate (1. mile) Wat-
son's stable again reads formidable, but it is on the cords
for its best representative to bo defeated by Mysotis. To
the Sapling Stakes (Grey Stone in) there aro twenty-two
nominations, the pick of which are The /Egean, Lord
Hawthorn, Hector, Number Nip, Snider, and Brennus.
The lEgean is not likely to be sent so far north;
and in his presumed absence Lord Hawthorn or
Number Nip will be victorious. The .Easby Stakes
(Grey Stone in) will be won by Mr. Johnstone's best,
Hymen or Lord Hawthorn, though Watson will be bad to
beat, seeing that he has Retort, Hector, Number Nip, and
Lord Bothwell to select from. On Wednesday only
eight horses have accepted for the Burton Handicap
(4 miles), and if Frolicsome can beat Flora she will be
hailed the winner. Twenty-seven juveniles have been
weighted for the Belsay Castle Nursery (Grey Stone in),
and of these we prefer Lord Bothwell and Brother to
Shibboleth. The Wright Stakes (Grey Stone in) will end
in a match between Dryad and Lord Hawthorn, as .Egean
and Master Tom, who aro the best of the candidates
nominated against them, are not likely to run.
The Kelso Meeting, which is one of the best and most
popular of the Scotch gatherings, will be celebrated on
Wednesday and Thursday. For this meeting Mr. Usher's
programme is of respectable dimensions, and the principal
closed features therein are the Roxburgh° Handicap, the
Welter Cup, the Kelso Plate, the Border Handicap, and the
Nursery Itandicap. In the Roxburgh° Handicap (4 miles)
thirteen owners are satisfied with the imposts allotted to
their horses. Those most favourably weighted are Verulam,
7st 101 b; Armourer, 6st 121 b; Sunstroke, Est 71b; and
Paganini, Est. Verulam, if he can stay the course, will
run creditably ; but he is not so well in as Paganini and
Armourer, the better of whom will bo successful. There
is a lengthy entry for the Kelso Plate (one mile), and the
most noteworthy amongst the horses handicapped for it
are King's Cross, Bst llb ; Victress, 7st 81b ;
Est 71b ; Harmony, Est 71b; and Good Hope, sst 101 b.
The last-named, when in his best humour, is a smart colt;
but as he is rather uncertain, we shall trust to Harmony
and Victress. The best of the horses engaged in the
Welter Cup (11 miles), are the Priest, list 131 b; The Rap,
lOst 91b; Safety, lOst 91b; and Citron, lOst 51b. Of
these Safety is decidedly beet in; but as she may be re-
served for a later and more important engagement, the
most reliable pair here are The Priest and The Rap. Only
six horses have accepted for the Border Handicap (two
miles), and they are so moderate that Verulam will win,
if he eau defeat Booty. The Nursery Handicap (4 fur-
longs) has been well petrOnised, and the horses that ap-
pear best in aro colt by The Cure out of English Rose, 7st ;
Bard of Erin, Est 101 b; Moscow, Est 21b; and Hunter, Est.
Moscow is a remarkably good-looking horse ; but fur this
event we believe he will succumb to the English 11060
colt and Bard of Erin, ono of whom is likel3 to win.
The Monmouth Meeting, which is a pleasant one to
those individuals wise love romantic scenery as well as
racing, will take place on Thursday and Friday. Tho
principal races in the list are the Beaufort Cup, the Chip-
penham Stakes, the Monmouthshire Handi;:ap, and the
Somerset Plate. From the 12 horses handicapped for the
Beaufort Cup (4 miles), Lord Ronald has only to fear
Wroeghton. 'l'he Chippenham Stakes (6 furlongs) should
be won by Mr. Cart wright'a representative;'although he may
be opposed by Sir Oliver, Waniba, Lute, and the filly by
Atherstone out of lone. In the Monmouthshire Stakes (l
mile 6 furlongs), fifteen horses have been engaged,
.and
Papillon and Aeta3a should about win. With few excep-
tions, the same horses .have been named for the Semi-$(4
Plate as we find in the Chippenham Stakes on the first
day. Consequently' the running in the latter race will
clearly foreshadow the result in the Somerset Plate.
For the Manchester Autumn Meeting, on Friday and
Saturday, Mr. Johnson has issued a capital list, in which
there are twelve races. Ten of these are' completed,
leaving the Irwell and Scurry Stakes to be entered for the
evenings previous to running. For the Manchester Cup
miles) sixteen horses have been entered, and the best-
looking of the lot are—Success, Bst 71b ; Fairwind, ist 101 b;
and The Sawyer, 7st 41b. Between Fairwind and Suc-
cess, who have been veryjclosely handicapped, it will be
a fine point ; but we have the least preference for Fair-
wind, who may be closely pressed by The Sawyer—a
good horse over this course. Tho Chesterfield Handicap
(5 furlongs', we assign to Soubrette or Retort, though
Kicksey-Wicksey and Maggie read dangerous. In the
Trial Handicap (6 furlongs) The Returned and Elvire have
nope the worst of the weights; neither have Wynnetay
and Man of Ross in the Salford Plata (1 mile.) Dryad
has been struck out of the' Maiden Plato (6 fur-
longs) which leaves this race at the mercy of Di
Spanker, On Saturday the Northern Metropolitan Han-
dicap miles) will give rise to an interesting race,
if Fairwind, Bst 21b; E liuburgh, Bst 101 b; The
Sawyer, 7st 81b; and NewlaUd, 7st illb, meet.
wind, should ho win the Manchester Cup on Friday, will
be put out of court by a 1 Olb penalt3-, and therefore at the
time of writing Watson's representative, Newland or The
Sawyer, may hit the winning mark. The Stamford Plate
(4 furlongs) has attracted a capital entry, no fewer than
forty horses having been handicapped for it. Wadlow's
stable is generally formidable in these short races; but on
this occasion the Stanton representative will not beat
Lady Zetlaud, Bst; Evelina, 7st 71b; Pantaloon, Tat 41b;
and Jessie Flower, 7st. These aro the pick of the handi-
cap, and Evelina ought to win, judging by the brilliant
form she displayed at Doncaster. The De Trafford Han-
dicap (1 mile) we shall award to Affection ; the Juvenile
Stakes (4 furlongs) to Inon ; and the Selling Handicap (6
furlongs) to Dutch Admiral or Miss Dayrell.
