SPORTING.
«____ [Pee Press Association.] LONDON, Feb. 23. Norton is quoted at 11 to 1 for the Grand National Steeplechase. FLEMINGTON NOTES. MELBOURNE, Feb. 24. It was a cold, dark and showery morning, and work was of a desultory character. Newhaven moved rather delicately previous to exercising, but swept nicely over two circuits on the tan track. Bloodshot pleased the touts immensely whilst negotiating a lengthened journey at half -pace. Valiant covered four furlongs in good style in 52sec. Betting is quiet pending the final gallops to-morrow, after which the card will be read down in the Victorian Club. Valiant is still the favourite for the Newmarket Hanelicap at 100 to 12, Cydnus and Ayrshire 100 to 10, Sunbury 100 to 7. The Cup betting is fours Fadladeen, lives Bloodshot, eights Mischief, and tens Preston. Mischief has been doing consistently good work at Flemington.
