MAY 21, 1853. out being overdone, and will have great difficulty in mending his performance in the 2,000 guineas, which was of a very high class, although, like Elis, he met with another Bay Middleton in West Australian. lie is a fine home ; an inch taller than the favourite ; thouzh by no means so full of muscle, or so powerful in his frame. We are told that he can be improved seven pound—but I doubt it ; but even that improve ment would not be sufficient. Depend upon it the better horse you can make him out to be, the better you make his opponent. So much for the two best public horses of the year. After them comes Orestes, who beat (at two year old) a large field of horses in the Woodeote, which field has since furnished no 1,14,4 than six winners, viz., Gossip, Sylphine, Dagobert, Speed the Plough, Ethelbert, and Desdemona. He is a good.looking horse, well bred, and well trained ; but I cannot think he will win the Derby. His party, however, are confident. Pharos, like his forerunner, Harbinger (who was in troduced last year with such a flourish of trumpets to be cut up so disgracefully both at Epsom and Ascot), is a nice, light, peacocky horse. He beat Sittinghourne at Goodwood as a two-year-old; but I cannot think that he has made the same improvement ; for Sitting bourne was a very large and backward horse last year. Should I be wrong in my conjecture he will run forward, but I expect that he will be in difficul ties at the old place, viz., opposite the Stand. Urnbriel is well, and fit to run. lie would have had a capital chance in last year's Derby, but I can not fancy him for this. The same may be said of Orinoco. Barbatas, Filbert, Brocket, and Fthelbert may run respectably ; but respectability never attracts Mr. Clarke's attention, or helps to till a purse ! I now come to the mysterious division, at. the head of which figures the redoubtable Chirac. Like Dog. berry, Chums has had his losses, and experienced his reverses. Now at 12 to 1, and anon at 40, he has astonished and perplexed us throughout a long and dreary winter. In my own opinion, he is fitter to precede the royal procession on a Cup-day at Ascot than to head a field of horses for the Derby. His public performances are worse than nothing ; and the private performances at Dauebury 1 have long ceased to believe in. Coldrenick, Nil Desperatulum, and Chatterer have cured me effectually of that disease which is so prevalent at this season of the year, viz., credulity. I no 1 roger place the conti • donee I once did in the " Man in the Street," or be lieve that untried horses are fliers, because 1 am confidently informed of the fact by some one whose only object is "to do ute good." A good horse re quires no bonnetting, any more than go:ad wine neels a bush ! If he go out of the betting entirely, so much the better for his backers ; but it' a middling horse once lose his place in public opinion all the money goes with him, and the scramble to get out. is teritic. Iloneywood (another Junius) is reported to be so good that a large party of gentlemei have bought him between them. I expect to find him um over rated horse. John Osborne is a first-rate judge of a handicap ; but he has never won a Derby yet, and this, I can assure him, is an awkward year in which to make his debut. Ninnyhantmer has no pretensions to he considered a good horse ; in his proper place he will pay his way, but we want something better than the Gossip form on Wednesday next at Epsom. He may be brought into a little transitory notice on the strength of a reported trial, but I cannot consider his chance a good one. Jerry Kent was introduced to our notice the other day by old .loe Rogers himself (in his most amiable manner), who took 40,000/. to 1,000!. about him. lie is now at 25 to 1, so that the acute elder will have the hest of the hedging—an advantage which he is not likely to throw away. Cheddar, if well, will beat a great many. Peggy ought to he kept for the Oaks. Iltirworth most likely will not start, and Vanderderken might us well be left at home. At this moment it is difficul to say what outsiders there will be, but they are evidently far from numerous, and their owners anything but fond. Their chance, then, is a poor one—worse, indeed, than usual—for there are several good horses in this Derby, and I think one Flier! PHTLIPPUS, BATH AND SOMERSET 11ACES.—TVES1)AY.
