mar was his beat, be having hitherto don nothing better
over • denims than run Flu tation to a head at Chelmsford
last summer, when receiving 1716. The Little Stag was
board to win the Stewards' Cup afterwards, with the Clown
not up to the mark, Glendusk penalised filb, and Change
giviag luni,6lb more weight than on Wednesday, but the lat-
ter got considerably mum to him, sad showed that the gal-
• had done him no little good. The Dee Stakes lost nearly
all its interest in the absence of Blair Athol, who left a lot
.1 moderate horses to cosset them, and of these Greitilki,
by staying the looniest, proved the set, which showed him
to be a fair honer, as he can be made considerably better.
The other (meats with three-year-olds engaged in them made
eat Windham, Monthly, Cutaway, and Persuasion, over
their own respective distances, to be more than respectable,
although Ltiin ought to have beaten Cutaway, Edwards hay-
ing ridden Ler head Mr long before the pinch came, which
was very blameable, superior as her staying abilitem may have
bees to those of her opponents. The twoieer old racing was
of the tamest sort, the beet the three contests produced—
Nothing More and Bosnia Leas—having been beaten before
is more than one encounter, and had Pantaloon beim equally
It he might have eclipsed the first earned, who is, however,
sae of the wear and tear class.

York will afford much better sport than wag witnessed
at Chester, while it lute ; and there should be a stroog
geld of good class horses for the Great Northern Handicap,
two milts, Wingmve, Caller On, Limosioa, Welcome, Douse
Ouse, Foutmoy. Harchettina, Tzust, Alice, East Lama-
shire, Guenlls, Dr. Rooks, Orevills or Tottenhaus trier King
Curium° Lord Cochrane, and the Major being all proba-
ble runners. Of them Oreville ig the Dee Stakes, and
Tottenham in the Queen's Plate at Chaster, with the
Major in the Epsom Metropolitan, sod Guerilla is the New-
market Handicap, showed themselves to be fair 3-yr.olds,
while Dr. Rooke's party are elm sweet on him, after what
Little Stag has recently dom, although ha bas done nothing
yet cal to Tottenham or Greying), the selected of which
should
be Jcoupled with the Major as the best of the
3-yr-olds. The middle weights, comisting of Welcome,
Donne Cecile, Fontenoy, Eisratiettina, Trust, Alive,
and East Lancashire, are oily a moderate lot,
and East Lancashire may prom the best of them,
Welcome's non-appearance in the Chester Cup, coupled
with his also declining at Epsom and Northampton, being
a most suspicious rift-mistime& Presuming, thee, that

Ism leoceihire is the bast of this body, a this. year old
hie the Major ought to keep theta all safe, as Little Stag
oeuld have bastes the liedessferd horse at even weights
ht the Chester Cup, and he is giving the Major 16th. The
heavy weight,' are, however, of • very supenor edam, Win-
grave having receetly shown in such splaudid form that he
b sit only emitted to the preference over Caller Oa sad
Lim:rime, but is a dangerous sauna:oat for the three year
ells to nisei ; and when the Wizard and Ben Webster could
run first and second with Bst 121 b and gat 21b respectively
in and the Wizard, Sat 311 i, get second to Intohoff,
Tat 111 b, the following year, with Caractacos, Set 71b,
only third, it is ace asking too much of the baron's magni-
ficent horse to give somethiog like • stone more than the
toeing weight for the two years to the Major, although the
latter looks entitled to the more favourable consideration,
as °resin. or Tottenham also do, supposing Middleliam to
be is earnest with one of them. If not, LLOAOIIIIDIL will be
decidedly " third beet." The half mile Knavesraire Plate
will suit both the Capncine filly and Light, and the 1011)
pensity will hardly stop Little Stag in the Trial, d he is
started for it, instead of being reserved for the Flying Dutch-
man's Handicap, one mile and a quarter, on the second day,
wherein be is only giving 71b to Tottenham, and can scarcely
lose. The Knavesmire Plate may show what chance Light
possesses in the Loodesborough Cup, five furlongs, arid
whether abe as beat Cutaway and War Dance, who are
both very List for this distance, and entitled to eves more
respect than the Berl Spencer's Plate winner, Reindeer,
Gamma being more threatening than be of the heavy
weights. The 71b penalty might stop Bing Arthur in both
the Zetlaad and the Felintoa Stakes, dacult as it is to
select one that ma beat him ; bat so conjecture ma be
hazarded concerning the probable destination of the two
hunt races closed.

At Silisbury we are equally in the dark conoerning the
two-year•uld races, although when Quiz arid Lady Ebidis,
who are in the Salisbury and Wilton park Stakes. were
bastes earlier in the year, they gave every promise of future
excellence. The minor affairs are not worth meddling
with, and I have only to remark concerning the Wiltshire
Handicap, two miles, that Innellan and Baldwin have toe
much the best of .the weights with their opponents, wpm
really the thremyeamokls, of which Sheridan and Claxton
are the best in quality, for asythiag else to look well on
paper.— I am, kr-, METEOR.
