SPORTING.

The following is the result of the March Stakes : —Amphiou 1, Mark Prince 2, Mons Meg 3. The Two Thousand Guineas resulted as follows:—Common 1, Orvieto 2. Peter Flower 3. This is the first great English “ classic ’’ race of the season, and the result has evidently been a surprise. Common is by the defunct Isonomy, out of Thistle, and is conjointly owned by Lord Alington and Sir F. Johnston, who will have probably won a large stake. The well-known sporting writer "Buff and Black ” says :—Mr Hately’s handicap for the Wanganui Steeplechase has been published, and I cannot say that it is a bad one. Turaekaiti, if well, looks fairly well in with 11.5, but the probability is that his owner will not accept. Caitiff, with the same weight, would have no show, and according to bis last running would not show a partiality for the distance. The followicg nominations have been received for the A.R,O. Winter meeting.* — Hurdles.—Salute, Bit o’ Blue, Cloth of Gold, Satanella, Kapo, Leila, Ingorangi, Lovely, Good Day, Darnley, Ival, Satyr, General, Try Fluke, Brian O’Lynn, Nap, Kate, Nigger, Criminal, Sentinel, Jupiter, Zaccho, Parnell, Theorem, Waterbury, Memorandum, and the Peer.
