MANCHESTER SUMMER CUP.

The Blanchester Cup, distance one and a half miles
has of late become a great betting race, and the stake is I
now worth over £2,000, therefore a good field may be
anticipated. Bates's best will be Strathmore, who has
a fair reputation at home. Brown's Condactor-53t 121 b
is well treated. Petrarch and Advance are Joe Cannon's
pair one of which will have a goo,' look in. 1. Dawson
will be represented by Ii Gladiature, and if in the same
form as when he ran second to Thurio in the New-
market Handicap, he must be handy on the-day. Glen •
dale might be saved for the Northumberland Plate, if so
ha will only be out for an airing:here. Adamite, 63t 9ib
is well treated, especially After his York form with
.51elton. Jennings is giving Ecossies a thorough pre.
' paration Rosy Cross has frequently disappointed we so
that I shall throw him up. Osborne's lot ido not care
for. Peck's best it is Bald will be Red Comyn, which
the market points to, but you must also back Kaleido -
scope. Attalus must take a lot of doing if better than
Ivy. Censor should be Wadlow's best—but finally to
sum up, I shall take
ATTALIJS and IL GL kDIATURE

for wins and places. With Red Conlyn their most
dangerous opponent.
