SPORTING IVOTES.

The racing at Newmarket passed off without any of

those sensational movements which were the order of the
day last year, and for the future there is every prospect of
our national sport being cat ried on in a more legitimate
manner than has prevailed the list few years. Ryshworh
won the July Stakes, in accordance with my opinion, but I
am satisfied none of the two year olds which have yet ap-
peared in public are within 51b. of Derby form—an opinion
which I expressed in your columns last Monday, and
which, strange to say, was endorsed by two of your con-
temporaries within two or three days afterwards.
Reading races, which occupy Tuesday and Wednesday,
deserve to be well patronised, as they have the best talent
of the day engaged. Mr. Clarke is judge, Mr. MiGeorge,
starter, Mr. Manning, clerk of the scales, and Mr. T
Marshall, clerk of the course.

The Berkshire Stakes run on Tuesday will most likely
go to WILD BRIAR, Hitless JOY should beat her. WOFUL
has a bad lot to beat in The Easthanapstead Park Stakes,
and is well in. LADY DI is also lightly handicapped for
The Forbury Stakes. The Cavershain Stakes will, I
think, go to MACDUFF, and The Whitley Stakes to JOY;
whilst I expect to see Mr. Morgan's colours in front with
ELECTRICITY for The Reading St.ikds.
Oa Wednesday, in the King's Meadow Stakes,
SECOND lIAND looks best in of anything. I shall stand
nothing but BADswount for The Abbey Stakes. BIRDS-
EYE and MAIA ought to give a good account of themselv s
for the Nursery Plate. SERINGAPATAM and TOY must
have a great chance for the Steward's Plate; and ZtscA or
MAIA are bound to take a great deal of beating for the
Stand Plate. _

At Odiham WINIFRED will win the Hurstbourne Stakes
if she runs ; GANYMEDE the Manor Plate ; JOYFUL the
Dogmersfield Park Stakes ; VIGILANT the Odibam Handi-
cap ; and SULTANA the Greywell Hill Plate.
The racing at Stamford will be decidedly of the best
quality during the week. Thursday's engagements in-
clude the Stamford St. Leger, for which I presume The
Earl will be an absentee, and in that case SPECULUM will
prove best. The Welland Stakes is a foregone conclusion
for NAIVETE. The Sweepstakes of 50 sovs each will be
awarded to RYSUWORTH or TENEDOS. If KIDDERMINSTER
is started for the Burghley Handicap, I see nothing to beat
him, although The Clown will be very troublesome should
he be able to getthe distance. ARMOURER is best in for The
Welter Cup, and for The Westmorland Plate WEATHER ISLE
is not badly treated. In the Borough Members' Plate SUB-
STANCE ought to give a good account of herself.
Respecting Friday's events, SPECULUM, in the absence
of Tho Earl will win The Ketten Stakes. The Ninth
Wothorpe Biennial Stakes has THE PARMESAN FILLY en-
gaged, and I think she will prove just good enough to
beat the indifferent lot opposed to her. Some of the most
speedy animals of the day are engaged in the (ilifden Cup,
but OUT and OUTER attracts my attention most, and to him
or REDIVIVUS I shall leave the issue. In the Tenth
Wothorpe Biennial Stakes RYSHWORTH and TUXEDOS aro
again engaged, and previous running will best decide their
respective chances. The Duke of Newcastle's MARTYR is
not a good one, but there is really nothing to beat him for
the Milton Stakes, and KELLOGG is my choice for the
Johnstone Nursery Handicap.
Liverpool Summer Meeting will occupy Friday and
Saturday. On the first, day my selections are—Molyneux
Cup, ALICIA ; the Croxteth Flying Stakes, CLAYMORE ;
the Scurry Welter Handicap, ADAMANTHEA ; and the
Stanley Nursery Handicap, SISTER TO VEDA.
As regards the Liverpool Cup, there aro only sixteen
acceptances, and of these I have most faith in
CAITHNESS,

bUt:WILD BRIAR is sure to run forward. MRS.:ALLAN is well
in for the Welter Cup. NORTHERN STAR will probably
win the Sefton Handicap, and CARLOTTA the Two and
Three Year Old Handicap.
