SPORTING MISCELLANY. 
The whole of Mr. Meiklam's stud, advertised in our last, 
was put up for sale at York, on Friday, by Messrs. Tattersall, 
but none of the lots were disposed of. 
Mr. Knowles's brood mares and foals will be brought to 
the hammer in October next. 
Mr. Howard's colt by Surplice out of Ferina has received 
the name of St. Hubert. 
Lord Loudesborough has sold Don J ohn to go to America. 
Mr. John Scott’s 2-yr-old colt by St. Lawrence out of 
Azimuth, engaged in the Seventh Triennial, at NeYvmarket, 
and St* Leger, 1855, broke its leg a few days ago and had to 
be destroyed. 
Change of Quarters. — Scythian, Apollonius, and Prince 
Arthur have left John Scott’s for J. B. Day's stables at 
Findon. 
Several horees left the Littleton stables three or four days 
ago, and Mr. W. Dilly being about to retire, the establishment 
will be broken up. The horses are all gone into Dockeray’s 
stables at Mickleham. 
Retirement of Mr. Meiklam. — This gentleman, one of 
the oldest and largest masters of Mr. Thomas Dawson, after a 
long and successful career on the turf, has declined racing, 
from the state of his health, Yvhich has for some time been 
in a most precarious condition, and the whole of his stud is to 
be brought to the hammer at York this day (Friday), by 
Messrs. Tattersall. Although Mr. Meiklam cannot boast of 
having carried off the Derby, St. Leger, or Oaks, yet in the 
great handicaps he has been particularly successful, having won 
the Metropolitan with Stilton, with whom he ran second 
also for the Chester Cup, the Cambridgeshire with Raby, 
the Liverpool Cup with Lightning and Inheritress, the 
Great Yorkshire Handicap with Snowstorm, the Northum- 
berland Plate with Inheritress and Stilton, the Great 
Yorkshire Stakes with Poynton, and the Champagne Stakes 
at Doncaster, with the Italian. 
Retirement of Mr. Greville. — This gentleman, who for 
the last quarter of a century has been one of the chief sup- 
porters of the turf, and was associated as the confederate of 
Mr. Payne, gives up his racing stud in a short time, and will 
confine his attention to breeding, having a magnificent stud of 
horses and mares at Hampton Court, including the stallions 
Alarm and Orlando, and the brood mares Industry, Jamaica, 
Duvernay, Barcelona, Little Finch, &c. During his career 
on the turf, Mr. Greville won the St. Leger with Mango, and 
in all probability would have carried off the Derby with 
Alarm, but for an accident at starting. He also won the 
Cambridgeshire, and Emperor’s Vase at Ascot, with Alarm; 
the Ebor Handicap aDd the GoodYvood Stakes, Yvith Adine ; 
the Suffolk Stakes, with Murmillo ; and numberless other 
races Yvhich we have not time to enumerate. In his early 
years, Mr. Greville had the management of the late Duke of 
York’s stud, which, under his direction, Yvas remarkably 
successful on the turf.
