TO Tall ZDITOIL OF THI =PIUS.

Sia,—The dimensions of the programme of the
York August Meeting will betray the quantity of sport that
may be anticipated on Tumidity, Wednesday, and Thursday,
twelve, eleven, and ten ram tier diem respectively being
something unusual, except at the " hay and core " meetiop at
Newmarket, in the autumn • and even here we have not such
an immense majority of important events se at York, where
attest • dozen of the twentv-five already completed willow"
in this category—the Yorkshire Oaks, Three Year Old
Bieonial, Chesterfield Handicap, and Convivial Stakes, on
Tuesday —the Two Year Old Biennial, Lilly Sapling Stakes,
nee Handicap, and Prance of Wales's Stakes, on Wednes-
day, with the Great Yorkshire Stakes York Cap,
Gimcrack Stake,, sod Nursery, on Thursday, promising
such niteresting encounters, that the tameness of the
Burgundy, Juvenile, Branham Park, Bleck Duck, 100 cove.
Sweep, Glanow and Knaveamire Stakes will be quits a
relief. The Chesterfield Handicap, one mile, won so easily
by the Ace of Clubs last year, is out out of his compass
now, even with 321 b additional weight, and unless the stable
precincts a better ally in Old Orange Girl or Newcho_rela,
it will not astonish me to see him victorious again, Lord
Stamford being the most dangerous gamy to the stable.
The Yorkshire Oaks, for 3.yr-old fillies, one mile and
a quarter, has three of the best fillies of this year engaged,
viz :—Queen Bertha (9st Mb), Marigold (Bst 131 b). and Lady
Augusta (9st), and despite their giving weight to any-
thing else, it is hard to believe either Villafraeca,
Airedale, er Mime Armstrong (Bst 10th each) are goad
enough to bawl over the beat of them, or even
Sonveraine Sauterelle, or Bonny Bell (Bst Mb each).
Marigold and Lady Augusta are admirably suited to the die.
, twice, and one of the pair should be heralded the winos'.'
badly as Lord Lord Satmford's filly cut up in the Oaks.
The Biennial for three-year-olds, two miles, is not so much
to the liking of Marigold Viet 51b), as over this course a lot
i like Early Purl (Sit IMb), Old Orange Girl (Set sth), Tro-
pliant (dot 51b), Trumps Yeager
10th), Cheerful (Bst 101 b),
&amender (fist 10th), the Yeager (Bet 13lb), Bloodio (Bst
I 101 b), Newmarket (Bet 101 h), and King of Utopia (Set 106),
should comprise something good enough to neat her.
Lord Stamford's two St. Leger nap, Avenger and Oneasoder
(Bst 13Ib each) are talked of as certain absentees, strange to
say ; and I am not certain we shall see either Scarnander or
the Ranger at the poet, bat if the latter doer not show
at York it will look bed for his St. Ledger backers,
as his three eupgements, did be win, would turn in
between thirteen and fourteen hundred pound', and no
horse fit to ran should decline such a chance. He looks
quite capable of winning here ; and only in his absence
should 1 look for the triumph of &amender or Marigold.
The Convivial Stakes, for terceyear olds, T.Y.C. (5 Neap
44 yards). in the only important engagement for Paris
(Bst 1116) to meet this year, and as the best of his opponents
in public form are Lady Hylda (Bst 1016), Durham (fist
111 b), and King George (WO, the rumour that be will not
be among the runners is something to feel surprised at, es-
pecially when Blair Athol, Halifax, and Seraph—the only
bones in the "dark" list backed for the Derby--are to re-
main at home. Durham is the next beat to Paris, having
the beet of the weights with the remaining couple above
named. Giving the Burgundy Stakes to Harlequin, the
Bramhan Park Sake' to Borealis, and the 100 move. Sweep-
stakes to Citadel, and decline ell interferon:* with the
Black Duck Stakes and Juvenile Stakes, in which
only "dark " two-year-olds. are engaged, I pas oa to the
second dar's list, the Ebor Handicap, two miles, standing
first for discussion. Of the twenty engaged, Caller Ou,
Oldminster, Magnum Bono= Bellmae, Merry Maid, and
the Wasp ;aiding have all pin-formed since the publication
of the weights, Oldminster and Magnum Bosom being
penalised 1416, which will give them no chance apinst Hell-
man, who ran Caller On to a head at even wsighte at Lewes,
and appears a real good thing now at 7st 10Ib, Carisbroolc,
who has to give him 4lb sod the year, looking " well in "
himself. The Monk, 6 yrs, Gat 1316, and Picador, 4 yrs,
fist 101 b, are also very formidable looking and the quartet
ought to produce the winner, seeing how " fithy"Makeshift,
Clarior, sod Golden Pledge an in the market for I do not
believe in Melrose yet. The Monk and Picador are =-
titled to most coosidemtioe, perhaps ; and in standing on
the two, 1 must lean to the Yorkshire nobleman's horse,
who is sure to be "wanted." Of the five two-year-old
events, the Prince of Wales's Stakes is one of the mat
popular, and it is likely on this condos to bring to light
something good enough to beat King George, Crisis, and
Garotter, respectably s they have all performed, the
Physalis colt and Harkforwaril having good reputations,
an has also Souchamp, who did not, however, meet his en-
gagement at Goodwood. The Eighth Biennial and the
Filly Stakes both have Linda engaged, and she will be hard
to beat for one or both of them, Crytbeia, Prince Arthur,
and Itigolboche being her most awkward opponents in the
first named event. Lord Stamford should wig the Rowcdiffe,
Mr. Savile the Ebor St. Leger, and Newmarket the Hopeful ;
but the Glasgow is at present out of my latitude. On Thurs-
day we have the Great Yorkshire Stakes, for three-year-
olds, one mile sod three-quarters; but previous running
will my a great deal concerning it, and it may leave only
one or two worthy to compete with the Rapid Rhone,
whose third position in the Derby entitle, him to most
respect The York Cup, two miles, Lord Glasgow also
looks threateoiog for with Clarriaimus, who has 71b.
the best of the weights with Macaroni ; sod his lordship
is just as fortuoate in haying Beauvais in the Kusvesmire
Stakes for three-year-olds, one nails. The Gimcrack, Colt
Sapling, Nursery, sod Aake Produce Stakes, are all de-
pendent on the results of the previous two year-old race
of the mating.-1 am, dc., VOLUNTEER.
