THE ILLEGITIMATE AUTUMN MEETINGS.

TO THE intros or THE Farms&
Slit, —Another good three-year-old was brought
to light at Liverpool, the second illegitimate meeting of the
antutuu, where the Tartar carried off the cup in such a
style as to prove himself, through Planet, of the same
calibre ss Ackworth, for neither in the Oessrewitch nor
Cambridgeehire did the latter beat Planet with such ridi-
culous ease as the Tartar did. In fact, no handicap of the
season has been won with so much in hand as last Friday's
cup, the Tartar displaying " form" that most have greatly
astonished his former owners, who were led to believe
be wad so very moderate, and were so disgusted with
him after • "trial" for the Cambridgeshire, that he
did not even start therein. When tried, bowel,
by his new owner on Wednesday last he was • horse of
another colour, and did so well with Bantam that the re-
sult astouished those in the secret of the weights they
ran at, and who were afraid mistake had been made. But
be ran quite up to their measurement in the actual race, and,
althougu he had the best of the weights with half of his
opponent., woo so easily that he cannot but help Blair
Athol, FLU° de l' Air, General Peel, Cambuscan, Scottish
Chief, Ely, ilippolytit, Tomato, Miner, Ackworth, Master
Richard, Birch Broom, Anglo-Saxon, the Clown, &c., in
makiug out this year's aree-year-olds an extraordinary good
lot. Whether the two-year-olds are so good is • question
that will have to be discussed hereafter; and the Li-
verpool proceedings but faintly strengthened their cha-
racters, the second performance of the Lion merely
raising the idea that the Duke might still be
the good horse he appeared when nearly beating
Liddington at Newmarket, which the world generally
wanted to nuke out was all a mistake when the Lion gave
him so much trouble at York. Last week's meeting pro-
duced no other incident worth noting, interesting as were
the proceediogs generally—the extension to four days having
turned out a step in the right direction after all ; and the
haudicaps, too, greatly satiated to regain Mr. Topliam his
prestige, the chief one proving he had not made the mistake
over Donnybrook, or favoured him, grumblers gave him the
credit of. Ile Shrewsbury Autumn has long been a four
day s' meeting, and Mr. Frall's bold tactics got so
many visitors last year, in the shape of both man
and beast, that • lifth day's sport was added.
If Le can only get his patrons in the same
humour again, it is said that he will try it on for two
extra days this time, and thus rival the Boughton week for
the c,uautity of business dune. This, however, would be
comets out rather too strong, and would place him on very
dairgi.tous ground, for there was quite dissatisfaction enough
when tile meeting was settled to commence on a Monday.
This move is to be deprecated, because it interferes with the
settlement of the Liverpool accounts, besides preventing
visitors from a distance—and London especially —reaching
the scene of operations in time for the first day's racing,
unless they commence their journey on Sunday. Monday a
sports will Le the most interesting of all, the Newport Gold
Cup and Carnival Nursery forming great features, for a
Nos camber Sleeting ; and there are in addition • queen's
I'late and half a dozen other events to be witnessed. The
Nuisery Handicap is over a mile, which few two-
yesr.olds Cain coupons even yet, and the light weights may
prove the safest to trust, Spain, Caeda, Rejection, and Lady
Floreuce all look well "on paper ; and the best of the
heavy weight.) may turn up in Spring Gun, who is in the
same interest as Rejection. Mercian some two-year-olds in
the Newport Gold Cop, a simght for age race, one mile and
two t:utored yards ; hut with the beet of them, hl lesions:, and
Ethelred, penal sed 71b. and 31b. respectively, they are quite
out of court. The threes must produce the winner, for Birch
Broom sail liaechus are unpenaltsed, and Master Richard,
the clown, end Cambuscan only put up 31b. extra each.
The Lost of the older horses is Lord Burleigh, who is
called upon to give 2;:1b. to bolls Cambuscan and Master
Richard, in which endeavour he is almost bound to fail,
if they meet. 'The pair of three-year-olds ran together
over nearly the same distance in the Boughton week at
Newmarket. when Master Richard accomplished • very
easy victor) ; but he was receiving 19;b, on that occasion,
and at even weights Cembuscan ought to turn the tables.
If the Queen of Trumps will only struggle she can hardly
lone the llitc:clicld I Isnilicap—three•quarters of a lade -
Echo and Cutaway failing her, having the strongest claims
to ic,;.ect ; Las another golden opportunity of dis-
tin;..ii.oing Lisell on the second day,7st.6ll). being ill she is
caked upon to carry in the mile Stewards' Cup. 'tbe weights

Lau.; tieuali>. 3 710. in the SalopiaryStakes, for 2-yr-olds,
cleat ill tllll.l.‘e, Liam:Lure should beat him, either with

has a very med.:rate lot accepting; and Oldminsier,

beat a!! the i. .ivy weights down to Turn of Luck, 5 years,
