SPORTING.

The second Spring Meeting, such a signal failure
last year, there being but seven races in the three
days, commences to-morrow. There are several
plates down on the nearly, skeleton list before me, two
matches and the Suffolk Stakes, to which there were
27 subscribers, and for which there are twelve ac-
ceptances, only one of which, Florence, has already
paid forfeit. Of the remaining eleven, two are in
Dilly stable, two in Edward's, and two in Treen's
we can therefore hardly calculate on more than seven
runners, Fidhawn, I_presume, having had enough of
it at Chester. Bob Peel is well in, but remembering
the running of the best horse in the Chester Cup, in-
dependent of all weights and measures, I should stand
on Ralph.
I do not imagine we shall see many of the Derby
horses ; the Rowley Mile Plate sometimes introduces
a favourite, and before now has shown us the winner;
but the ground is hard still, and no man in his senses
would bring a horse out this week, who has even
40 to 1 chance at Epsom. Under this impression, 1
subjoin a list of the performances of the favourites and
others likely to start for the greatest Derby ever
known ; thus those who follow public running here
have it in black and white before them.

Champagne Stakes, beating Gipsy Queen, Marion,
Valentina, and Combermere. At Doncaster, won

and not imagining that Scott will run more than .00'
the field for the Derby will probably* consist of the 4
plate

Lord George Bentinck's. Thus, about twenty lat%,
be expected. to run. At Tattersall's a great build:li%
now stares you in the face (apparently sprung I.ll'
like Aladdin's Palace), which, if the contract is 112
filled, will be open to the public on the Monday befel

On Monday last, a farmer of the village of Mlon

nistos, near Pau, was returning home from the fair 0 f
f
trejeau, with the money he had received from the sal°, °,30
yoke of oxen, when he was induced to enter a publie'n°
on the road, and there became intoxicated to such a clethis
that he was unable to move, and his companions carrieti
into a barn, in order, as they said, that he might sleep °Pg ,ds
fumes of the liquor. On Tuesday morning he was found drj
hanging to one of the beams. At first it was believed bet;o,
committed suicide, but the fact of all his money having oat'
taken from him, and other circumstances, gave conviction
he had been both robbed and murdered.
