SO ME =ROE OY TUE EIPRE.,&

Sts —The first of the three October meetings
at the Metropolis of the Turf commences on Tuesday, and
it affords a stroeg taint that the scamio is drawing to a
Mole, reudering it imperative that those heroes for whom
as opportunity has been no patiently emoted all the year
must be made case of, for it is nearly a case of now or never.
Hence the sixteen race. is the programme before me that
sloes the evreieg prior to reusing will assist materially
towards the moms of the meeting, insignificant as they
are in value, for nearly all the Newmarket horses
are is work. and have been so for some time,
thanks to the ground being in such capital order,
sad there are a sufficient number engaged in
the Greet Eastern and October Handicaps, in training on the
heath alone, to makeup excellent fields for than without the
amismoce of stranger. Besides the abovemeutioeed there
are edema two, three, and four year old events completed in
the bill of fare, with five matches ; card there will be grand
doings on the openiug day, when a doses items have to be
disposed of. Chief of these is the Great Pastern Handicap,
T. 1.. C. (nearly six furlouga), which will be worth at least
600/. to the winner, and as this is about the last chance
Gerona or Bertha will have of bringing off to. good things
over this course they appear capable of, we shell probably
see one of them a favourite. The same remark win apply to
li4usien of Trumps or lady Clifden of Wadlow's team, and
kneels or Bioodella of Goddinis ; and the selected of
the three partite—probably Gomm Fravola, and Queen
of Tromps, with Poland, Peahen, and Summands. might
be dieomered pretty near the mark. The Triennial Prods*.
