SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

THE TWO THOUSAND WEEK AT NEW-
MARKET.
TO THE EDITOR 07 THE =PIUS.
Sin,—The proceedings of the next forty-eight
hours will decide the fate of more than half the Derby
oracle, not one of which figured at Epsom ea Tuesday or
Wednesday last, Friday being about the only one semi there
that had ever beep seriously talked about in connection
with the Blue Ribaod, and he ran only moderately. The
meeting wag, in feat, siagelarly devoid of ieeidente that
poseseeed more than a piano; iotarest, the precedence post.
Woos seta by the outsiders in the race for the City and
Suburban showing the field to be moderate is the extreme.
Argonaut, carrying the highest weight, whine 11b., beat the
lot like a racehorse, thus affording SirJeseph Hawley • capi-
tal line for his Derby horse, Bedminster, and at the same
time proving he can stay a mile and a quarter when his
temper will allow him to go. He is in a (maple of the rich
DOOMS to be deckled at the fortheomiog First Spring Rest-
ing, as the sewed of the six re-unions at headquarters is
still called ; and the 71b penalty will not put him quite out
of the Prince of Wales's Handicap, the mile being near* to
his liking than the longs( dietetic* he covered at Epsom.
This will form a great feature in Monday's card, as the
sixteen hundred guinea stake must attract a large number
to the post, the quality of the probable competitors being
000sidenibly better than that we seen running for smog
handicaps generally. Argonaut, in fact, hal a very dif-
ferent task before him to that he so successfully got
through the other day, there being a question whether
be DID beet two or three of the heavy weights now,
Csrobuscan running him with only 71b the worst of the
weights, and Master Richard at exactly weights for age.
The latter was so little adapted to the ops and downs of
Epsom that his turtling the tables is quite is the earda,
Paris, too, promising to run much better over his favourite
Rowley mile. Bacchus, last year's winner of this event,
gradually improved into a first-dam horse until he went
lame at the close of the season, and be be another of we
heavy brigade that should sorely trouble Argonaut How-
ever, the two et 13th mares, Marigold and Vivid, would
dispose of all the above, if we went to list year's form ; the
Moot, aged, 7st 101 b, who slimy, better over this
coon, than any other ; Onesander, 15 yrs, 7st 7th, who led
them suet • merry pace io the Metropolitan—Crisis. 4 yrs,
7st Gib, • good third to Marigold and Argonaut at
Goodwood, and "placed" is both the great mile noes
et Ascot—and Donnybrook, b ye% 7st 41b, being also well
worthy of attention. The light division includes a speedy
pair in Lady Florence sod Artiness ; Diomed. 4 yrs,
fist 91b, la said to have been about the equal of Kangaroo
when the latter was brat tried; sod emboli, 3 yrs,
list 10th, ran a good hone last meeting with more weight on
his beck ; but Vivid, Marigold, and the Monk have the
greatest charms for me, supposing Marigold did not actually
break down at Doncaster lest September, Vivid havi all
the appearance of a whiner, if she is brought ng
fit to the post.
A two-year-old eweepetakes may also bring the French
colours out to advantage, Fleurette will run many
pounds better than when she was beaten by Macdonald
last meeting. The Priocees of Weike's Stains,
like many other four-year-old races, is • complete

The Two Thermal Guineas Stakes, the first great three-
yearold event of the eeasoo, is still a mystery, more than
one (oedema having yet to make up his mind wbether he
will •' play " or " pay ;" nevertheless, for all the tricks the
pencillers have played, it is remarkable that only one real
" safe 'on" (Broznielaw) has bees discovered up
to the present time, the others that have bees
so knocked about from time to time being finally
the probable starters, In fact, ell that were ever
about as likely to " go," with the one exception, will either
run or give a good excuse for not doing so,—for instance,
