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."

SITAKSPERE.

Theri is a tide in the affairs of men,
Which, taken at the flood'—you know the rest,
And most of us have found it, now and then;
At least we think so, though but few have guess'd
The moment, till too late to come again.
But no doubt everything is for the best—
Of which the surest sign is in 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 fore part
of the Ascot week; with the victory of Lord Eglinton'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 in every instance, and they would have been in
that likewise had not Lord H. G. Lennox been of opinion
that Compass was quite good enough to dispose of the
crack, Cariboo, and therefore sent him instead of my
selection, The Beehunter, to represent the Goodwood
stable.

The racing at Newcastle requires but few remarks:—
England's Glory, a ciandidate for the Derby, 1851, won
the Tyro easily ; Elthiron, 7st 71b, just managed to beat
Roland, 6st 21b, by a head for the Northumberland
Plate, the latter having only a neck the best of Glauca,
7st 71b, who, by the bye, will do a clever thing yet before
the year is out ; The Maid of Team Valley, with a re-
spectable weight up, won the Members? Plate so very
easily that she must not be despised for any race she
may be entered fur 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, Cantzou, with her race in hand from end to
end, won the Gold Cup from Achyrantes easily by a
neck !

There are several meetings during the present wr ok,
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 Fort a
small field, consisting of Lady Ilylda, 6 yrs, Bst 61b ;
Ada Mary, 4 yrs, 7st ; Reality, 5 yrs, Est Glb ; Jenny
Liud, 4 yrs, 6st; and, possibly, one of the light weights,
Mark Tapley, Seiguor 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 likewi,e on
Tuesday, the following are the probable starters :
Oleander, Phlegra, colt by St. Francis, Venus filly,
Miserrima, Ilippogriff, Virago and Pelmyra fillies,
Ilatherton, Whisper (doubtful). colt by Kremlin (doubt-
ful), Olivia (doubtful), Ariosto (doubtful), and Grecian;
the last named, according to all accounts, and his soli-
tary public performance, the winner ; yet it would be
advisab!e for the admirers of the Grecian hero, in case
Oleander or Miserrima should be inclined by winning to
render them miserable, to keep them on the safi side, for
they're both clippErs in a small way of business ;
Phlegra, the Venus fitly, and Ariosto are the next best,
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 latzard an opinion, merely
remarking, that Oleander, Prestige, Phlegm, Turtle,
Miberrimp, and Ariosto, are the roost formidable of the
43 nominations; on Wednesday evening, in the columns
of The Sun, I will give a final opinion.
For the Liverpool Cup, run next week, the Wild Rose
of Wadlovs's stable, at Est 51b, Cockermouth at Est 131 b,
The Maid of Team Valley at 6st 121 b, Backbiter at 7st 91b,
Saucy Dick, at 7st, Winditchgratz at sst 71b, and that
very slow coach, the Seignor of Holdernesa at sst, seem
to me to have a great pull over the remaining forty.
three entries. At the present time I should select Wild
Rose an.' Cockermouth to du the deed of note, the for-
mer fir choice if they mean mischief with him ; in-

THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.

VAUXHALL-GAIMNS.-DISASTER TO THE BAL-
Loox.—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 br( ther and a very large suite,
to witness the ascent of Kr. 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 had made its May through the
clouds tuwards Gravesend, beyond which place its descent
was accompanied with imminent peril to the lives of the
aeronauts. At a quarter to nine o'clock or thereabous
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 Dlr. 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 fur 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 yea_
terday morning. Mr. Green and Mr. Rush shortly after
returned to London. The first-named gentleman is very'
much hurt on the head and face, probably from his forts to
keep on the balloon, which was continually rolling and turn-
ing over on the surface of the water.
