SPORTING.

NOTES BY HIPPONA.

The large number of acceptances received for the throe principal events of the Hawke's Bay Jockey Club Spring Meeting must be exceedingly flattering to the handicapper, Mr J. 0. Evett. Out of the twenty nomin ated for the Spring Handicap, fourteen have cried content, whilo there are only two malcontents in the Hurdles, and five in the Flying Handicap. In the big event, I still incline to the chances of Kalo, Leonora, and Tim Whifflcr, while Loch Lomond, A.G and Reform appear to be " good goods" for the Hurdles. If Mischief is well on the day she should have a great say in the Flying Handicap, and after her chance I like that of Rubina and Kingask. The final pay. ments for tho three events are due on Tuesday, 25th September, and the sweep of ssovs for the Guineas is also due on the sane date.

Martini - Henry's withdrawal from the A.J.C. Derby was a terrible blow to the numerous followers of the Hon. J. White's .stable in Sydney, and from what I can glean the scratching would have been received in better part had the pen been put through his name immediately it became known that the son of Musket had gone amiss, "Tout Cola " in his notes says the colt caught a cold in the middle of the week, through the singularly changeable weather, but it was hoped ho would not suffer sufficiently therefrom to spoil what his fond friends thought a very rosy chance. Con sequently, although no attempt was mads to conceal a decrease in these hopes on the day previous to the blue riband contest, still rather than throw up the sponge so long 55 there was a ghost of a show to bring the colt to the post, he was kept in till nearly the last moment. But the chilly afternoon caused such signs of coming catarrh'that .■ioon after one o'clock the dreaded scratching took place. The Wanganui Jockey Club Autumn Meeting has been fixed for the 6th and 7th* of March, 1883, and in totting up the added money to be given away during the two days I find it amounts *o £1,440. The principal ovent on the first day is the Cup of 500sovb. 2J miles, second horse to receive 50sovs! out of the stakes ; while the big race of the .second day is the Wanganui Stakes Handi cap of2oosovs. Nominations for the Cup Wanganui Stakes, and Flying Handicap, are due on the 4th of December. Mr Eyett will frame the handicaps. According to a Reuters cablegram re ceived early in the week, the quotations on the two great betting events of the year are as follows:— V.E.C. Derby. 2 to 1 agst. Archie 4 — 1 Off Colour. Melbourne Cur. 100 to 8 agst. Despot 100 — 7 First Demon 100 — 6 Le Grand 100-5 First Water. To prove victorious in the Randwick Plate, a three-mile weight ; for-age race, wai ; a great performance on the part of Le Grand, and stamps him as no ordinary three-year-old. It is a matter of regret he is not engaged in the V.R.C. Derby, so bhat he might measure strides with Archie, Off Colour and Co., but his Saturday's running has brought him into great prominence for the Melbourne Cup, for which event, through his A.J.C. Blue Riband win, he has now to carry 7st 51b, Le Grand is described as a fine strapping colt rather on the leg, and his knee wnicn has a somewhat suspicious look, it is said may need care.

At Christchurch, Envious and Cheviot have both been backed at 100's to 10 for the New Zealand Cup, and inquiries are made for Matanaka at 100 to 7, but the last and best offer about him war 300 to 25.

Mr Walter Scott has forwarded me a copy of the programme for the Cambridge Jockey Club Spring Meeting, which takes' placo on the 21st of November. The added money amounts to £IGS, distributed among six events, the principal of which are the Cambridge Spring Cup of 50 soys, 2 miles,, Handicap Hurdles of 30 soys, 2 miles, and Spring Steeplechase of 30 soys, about 3 miles. Nominations close on the 12th of November, and the weights, which will be adjusted by Mr Percival, are to appear three days later. The Summer Meeting of the Club is fixed for the Ist of January.

Lara has been purchased by Mclnnea Brothers, of Whangareii for stud purposes. Weights for the Caulficld Cup, 1J mile, to be run for at the Victoria Amateur Turf Club Meeting on October 20th, were de< clared yesterday. The highest imposts ate Sting, 9st 71b; Pell Mell, 9st 51b; Sit Modred, 9st 51b. During the week the New Zealand Stud; Company sold to an Auckland gentleman the three-year-old colt, by Fevd out of Lyra. He ha 3 gone into Laing's hands at Kohimarama.

Woodnymph (Martini-Henry's sister) has been leased by three Aucklanders. She will race in Mr " Balmain's " name.

At Sylvia Park this week, Fairyland dropped a colt to Apremont or Musket, Miss Laura a colt to Cadogan, and Atlantis a colt to Musket.

The full programme for the Auckland Racing Club Spring Meeting is published in our advertising columns. Bundoora has been scratched for the Can terbury and New Zealand Cups. For Remainder of Sporting New* see Supplement.

The Bad and Worthless

are never imitated or counterfeited. This Is especially true of a family medicine, and it la positive proof that the remedy imitated Is of tho highest value. As soon as It had been tested I and proved by the whole world that Hop Bitters was tho purest, best, and most valuable family medioino on earth, many imitations sprung up, and began to steal the notices in whioh thePrew and the people of the country had expressed the merits of H. 8., and in every way trying to | induco suffering invalids to use their stafl instead, expecting to make money on the credit and good namo of H. B. Many others started nostrums put up in similar style to H. 8., with 1 variously devised names in which the word Hop " or " Hops " were used in a way to lnduea people to believe thsy were tho same as Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies or cures, no matter what their stylo or name is, and especially those with tho word "Hop" or " Hops" m their name or in any way connected ] with them or their name, arc imitations or counterfeits. Beware o£ them. Touch nono of them. Use nothing but genuine American Hop Bitters, with a bunch or cluster of greon Hops on the white label, and Dr. Soulc's name blown in the glass. Trust nothing else. Druggists and Chemists aro warned against dealing in imita tions or counterfeits.

"THE LONDON WATCHMAKER AND JEWELLER."

(Extract from the Leading Article.) Lo^dos, March 5,1883. " . While on the subject of

Waltham Watches, we may mention that we have seen a letter from the com mander of the Gordon Castle (Castle line oi Steam-packets), who was fortunate enougn to save life at sea, and who for his valiant conduct was presented in September-W with .a Gold Keyless Waltham Watch by the President of the United States, on be half of the London Local Marine Board. Referring to this presentation watch, ac says :—' When I left London the waten *« six seconds fast, and on my arrival at Sin gapore it was only three seconds slow, a most extraordinary performance tor " watch, as I carried it on tny_ person toe whole of the time. I compared it every aay with my chronometers on the passage out, and it seldom or never differed one seconu from them ; in fact, I found it al"^" »" as good as my chronometers, which m » great thing to say for a watch carnea about and subject to all kinds of jolts.
