TO TEI IDITOR OD TEE TITANIC

Ent,—On comparing my letters of Monday and
Wednesday on the Derby with the result of the race, I find
that I wee not so far out in my calculations u most pertous.
I hinted sufficiently strong that I suspected treks bad
been played with Ellington, and stated I would not like to
stand egoista him. I gave him a forward position too, and
likewise Yellow Jack. Altogether, I gave half s closest
horses to the first put the post. I got the first four and the
seventh horses, the other breaking down. I do not ley
claim to hiving given the wiener, u oat of my first three I
got but one placed; bet when it is considered that 'M-
illdam obtained the two first places I have little cause to
blame old Dame Fortune. The ground was heavy, of Can-
noble would have bun much nearer.
Thursday Evening. METEOR.
