SPORTING MISCELLANEOUS. 
Sporting Volunteers. — The prospect of war has 
called forth the patriotism of the ■ sportsmen of England. 
Correspondents of the daily journals are suggesting the 
enrolment of volunteer regiments of horse, willing to serve 
anywhere, and to find their own uniforms, arms and 
horses; being allowed, however, the regulation-price for the 
horse. All the arms they would require would be a slung 
rifle, a brace of revolvers, a sword, and a pouch-box. It is 
suggested that 1,000 of the best riders and deadliest shots in 
the world would make a most valuable irregular force, com- 
bining the excellencies of the dragoon, the iScinde horseman, 
the Arab, the Cossack, and the astute and dashing sportsman. 
Margate. Racing. — We have “now “some hope of 
seeing this noble pastime revived here. In order to test the 
feelings of the public and ascertain what interest they feel 
in the re-establishing of the Margate races, a private match 
between W. H. Robinson, Esq., and Peter Trnefltt, Bsq. 
came off on Thursday week. The course, which was an 
excellent one, was set out ou the grounds of — Jolly Esq. 
of Dand-de-lion, under the direction of J. Paramor Esq’ 
The course was one mile and a half, and flat. Tho com- 
petitors were mounted on two chestnut mares of good speed 
und they came to the scratch in good condition and with all 
the etiquette of Newmarket. During the first round it was 
doubtful who would be the winner, they both being neck 
and neck. The latter part of the race was well contested, and 
terminated in Mr. Truefitt being the winner. We hail this as 
the harbinger of better prospects, and we trust that the parties 
who have undertaken to re-establish the Margate ruces will 
meet with success. A cold collution was provided by R. G. 
Higgens, Esq., of Grove House, and the party at the con- 
clusion of the day’s sport adjourned to the Fountain Hotel 
where the evening was wound up in good style and with 
hearty wishes for the success of tho Margate races of 1854. 
The 6port was kept up after the first match by another 
between Mr. Rammell, of Street, and Mr. Wootton, of 
Margate; won by the former. This was followed by another 
between a pony and a man, the latter having one rod given. 
The race was a capital one, the competitors being neck and 
neck, the pony winning by u neck ; he afterwards got rid 
of his jockey by pitching him over his head. The employ- 
ment for flys and other vehicles liod a brisk demand. We 
heard of only one accident, which was to Mr. R. Maxted, a 
butcher, whose horso fell, but we have not heard w hether lie 
received any injury. There were a great number of persons 
from Minster and other adjoining places, and at oue time 
there were not less than 1,500 persons present. 
It is, wo hear, in contemplation to have two or three 
steeplechases at Mentmore. 
The Torquay Steeplechase Committee offer a prize of 15 
sovereigns for a scramble steeplechase for horses belonging 
to tradesmen and farmers living within five miles of the 
Royal Hotel. 
Mr. Delamere’s horses have arrived St. Germains at 
Mr. Fuller’s stables (formerly Baron Rothschild's training 
stables), the Bull Inn, Harpenden Common. They will 
be trained for tkeir respective engagements under tho 
management of Mr. Thomas Donaldson. 
Spring Dottings.— Muscovite, Adine, Invasion, and 
all Dockeray’s have all gone into work. Miss Mowbray, 
Oscar, Nomine de Guerre, and Robin Hood have returned 
to Epsom from Oundle. Orpheus has gone to Lumley’s. 
Tickson, Stamford, and Voracity are at work. Bird-on- 
t'le-Wing is scratched for the Great Northern at York. 
The lady seems finished up in her legs, and not worth 
much now. 
Horses Arrived at Beverley. — At J. Turner’s : 
Brown filly, 2 yrs, by Van Tromp, out of Ambrose’s dam. 
— At G. Noble’s : Tomboy, aged ; and Fazeley, aged. — At 
J. Noble’s : Blue Bonnet (h b), aged; Vinaigrette, 4 yrs; 
chestnut colt, by Sheffield, 3 yrs ; and Cashmere, 5 yrs. — 
At J. Armstrong’s : Earl of Derby, 3 yrs. — At J. Watson’s 
(private trainer): Chestnut colt, by Auctioneer, dam by 
Yaxley, 2 yrs ; Friendless Boy (b h), 5 yrs; Collier, 5 yrs; 
bay colt, by Freney or Napier, out of Mickey Free’s dam , 
and Paddy (late Little George), aged. Newport is gone 
to the stud. 
The Duke of Richmond. — The retirement of this long 
and true supporter of the turf is, we have much satisfaction 
in stating, improbable. The report lias been contradicted 
in that quarter whence it first obtained currency. To the 
recently-closed stakes which arc to be decided at future 
meetings at Goodwood his grace lias given bis support as a 
nominator. 
Goodwood. — The brood mares, Refraction, (winner of 
the Oak6), Officious, Cuckoo, and Reel, purchased from the 
Duke of Richmond, are by this time ensconced ut the stud 
farm ofMons. Lupin at Vaucressin, near Paris. 
Gladiole. — This mare has left Bretby Park, having been 
sold by Lord Chesterfield to Mr. Lefeore, a Parisian, who 
has sent her to Chantilly'. 
Foals at Newmarket. — On the 22nd inst., at Messrs. 
Burrows stud paddocks, Buttress, a colt by Collingwood ; 
on the 24th instant, at the Bedford paddocks, Bridle a colt 
by Weatherbit ; on the 25lh inst., at the Bedford paddocks, 
Taurina, a filly by Weatherbit. 
Action Against a Jockey. — Walker t\ Sabin.— At 
the recent Abingdon County Court, an action was brought 
by a Mr. Walker, against John Sabin, the light weight 
jockey, for the recovery of 10/., damage sustained by the 
plaintiff in a race at the late Abingdon meeting, when it 
was alleged that the defendant pulled a certain mare, 
Lady Speedwell, belonging to the plaintiff - . The plain- 
tiff declared that he saw him pull her, and also asserted 
that the defendant having ridden May Day, the winner 
of the stakes, a few days previously, and being an occa- 
sional rider for the owner of that horse, there was a com- 
pact between them. For the defence, J. S. Bowles, Esq., 
one of the stewards, deposed to the fairness of the race ; 
that May Day was, in his opinion, by fur the best horse in 
the race ; but being ridden by a boy five stone, with two 
stone dead weight, who comld not control the horse, and 
that he bolted, and that tho race was afterwards a stem 
race. He also spoke to the character of Sabin, whom he 
had occasionally employed to ride for him. Messrs. J. 
Dawson, G. Drcwe, owners of horses in the race, deposed 
that Lady Speedwell was properly rode, and that with 
May Day no other horse hnd a chance. Mr. Godding, 
owner of May Day, spoke to the same effect, and offered 
to bet plaintiff 100/. to 10Z. that his horse beat the plain-', 
tiff’s, as they were placed. Tho jury, without hesitation, 
found a verdict for defendant, with the usual costs. 
Coursing. — The Newcastle, Northumberland, and Dur- 
ham Union is fixed for the 23rd of this month, and will be 
run over Belsay by sixteen greyhounds, at 4Z. 4,«. each. 
The ground is the best iu the North of England.
