SPORTING NOTES.-" THE CAMBRIDGESHIRE."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
SIR,—To-day will commemorate the above race. There will
be an excellent field, and the race will be well contested.
name thirty-five as the starting number, comprising Grecian,
Newminster, The Nigger, Hernandez, The Prime Minister, Load"
stone, Neasham, The Italian, Ariosto, Mountain Deer, Ribaldry,
Dulcet, Westow, Heroine, California, Darkie, Eliza Middleton,
Garforth, The Heriot, Warwick, Hurigerford, Haricot, MerrY
Peal, Breba, Deceitful, Tonic, Truth, Paquette, Manifold. Faux-
pas, Candlewick, Boarding-school Miss filly, Curl, and Cyclops.
Now for the "weeding," and to accomplish this effectuallY
I must extricate, at least, a score, which I at once send to the
"right about," the others I leave alone being,—Newminster,
Hernandez, The Prime Minister, Ariosto, Mountain Deer,
Ribaldry, Dulcet, Haricot, Darkie, Breba, Tonic, Truth, Mani'
fold, and the filly : these only shall I comment upon.
Regarding Newminster, a great disposition has been evinced
this past week to lay against him, IN hich makes my remarks,
made heretofore, stand good : if, as I said before, the distance
was double, nothing, I assert; in the race could "touch him
but as it is, it does not suit.

Hernandez ran so gamey lately that I look to him rather
than The Nigger, to distinguish " that lot."
No less than four nags are sent from Wadlow's stable, which!
1 think, makes The Prime Minister look rather "fishy," and
which he is, somewhat ; however, he is meant, and all that par'
of the country from whence he corres are very sweet upon hurt ;•
if he were in the highest condition, 1 know not what I would'
say in his favour, but, as " things are," I would not be vet/
much suprised if Ribaldry does not prove a second Mrs. Taft,
deceiving her own stable.
By reason of the late match between Bordeaux and Ariosto'
having been won so very cleverly by the latter, with Nat's as-
sistance, I cannot help ascribing to him a forward pace.
his
match these remarks apply exactly to Mountain Deer, in hos
match with Teddington ; and had the former not carried three
pounds over-weight, he most decidedly would have won • this
and this alone leads me to expect great things of him to-day.
Old Dulcet is a " miler," for which reason he will run even
better than he did for the Cesarewitch.
If one nag is better " in" than another, it is Haricot, which
I expect to see figure about No. lof the H.'s. Darkie will
run well.

Some most extraordinary private stable performances have
been accomplished by Breba; this; combined with her long
held steadiness in the market, tells very well, and ensures her
a very forward place, and which I hope to see her obtain.
Tonic will run moderately. If truth be let? she will figure as
near as possible No. lof the she tribe. I expect to see both
Manifold and the filly run very forward, especially the latter;
the other is well "in," which will tell.
Having considered the "ups and downs," and "ins and
outs," connected with my select few, also, the unsuitable dis-
tance for the 'Minster, and the "fishiness" of the Minister,
though slight, I have resolved to award the victory to

"THE MOUNTAIN DEER;"
Breba, 2d; Newminster. 3d; The Prime Minister. Truth, and.
Haricot well forward.—l am, Sir, yours, &c., BEESWING.
