THE DERBY.
TO Tllll IDITOIL 07 TSB ITPIII6B.

Eta,—RoGEßTnoant (by the Hero, dam by Jeremy
Diddler, out of Equation) hes been well used in the market,
and, reeollectiog that he has ewer bees considered wooed
to Wentworth by his stable, he has managed to hold up his
head remarkably well, and has been one of the firmest
horses in the market from the time he was Bret introduced—
just after his race at o.mdwood last August, where he was
mooed to Mary Copp, and beat Polmoodie (giving him 31b.),
West Langton, Ceres, ilke.—up to yesterday, when he was
backed at 20 to 1, and never dace the race just mentioned
has he been above that price but once or twice, and then
only fora few hours. There are some strange stories afloat
etoneerniog his and ►is eompanirn Wentworth. On* story
runs that the stable can win with either; while the par-
tisans of Wentworth, aid Wentworth only," assert that
nothing in the stable can live with his at Ms. Patting
the two account, together, it Is I taped@ that there is
sometbieg radically wrong la the judgment of owe party; for,
supposing that Weetworth is such a superior animal to
Roo erthorp what possible charms casltogerthorpe have f r
the Derby ? If he can only win by half a length, Wentworth
ought to win by ■early a dozen lengths; and no one sae be
mad seough to suppose he can do that, let t►em be ever so
Wentworth med. Then °asset be the slightest doubt that
Wentworth is the pet rf the stable, although he has
bees triad with Rogerthorpe ; and over a long severe
clown the latter might yet prove the better of the twain.
Bet for the Derby, John Day goes decidedly for the fa-
vourite, and likewise all parties who should be lambi,
with the Dumber, tertian.
MILTSCRAPI3. (by Kremlin or Foresail, out of Miss Mar
grave) his performed his pert at the Corner, and we are
not likely to hi ar of him agate in referee, to the Derby,
hie owner (T. Parr) beteg gels content to stand ea his
meat purchase—Leamington. I almost doubt Ms going to
the post. _ _

8170AIIPLOW (by Sweetmeat, out of Irish Owen) would
be a rare sweetens r to Ohs Irish party did be win, so they
backed him fr b good stake at 60 to 1 long before he was
located at John Scott's, and his performance in Ireland
Imo bola very good. At the Howtb and Baldoyle May
Meeting he was seamed to Clold Friday (the best two-year-
old performer in Ireland last year) for the Slane Stakes
, le • geld of eleven, and was allowed to walk over for the
Roland Tab's Bt.kes; and at the Curragb Jane Meeting he
won the Coffee Room Slakes In a canter. He might almost
be reekoaed dark, es we have so lien whereby to judge of
Me capabilities with some of oar own horses; bat there is •
very select party la Scott's stable who bask him at his out-
Me price, faaeyiee he into be a second Baroa.
ViltDllMOLin (fty Van Tromp, out of Miss Jolla Ben-
nett) is meet the finest throe-year olds we have, to look at.
He had been very quietly basked up to last Tbunday, when
some parties sent him nearly out of the market by offers of
30 sad 10t° 1; but the layers felt anything bat comfort-
able when blo owner appeared at the " Corner" on Satur-
day," and, after mooring all the money that was to be laid
abeam bias, no matter what was the pries, winding up with
offers to take 16 to Ito win a tremendous stake. He le the
best outsider, undoubtedly, end no bane winnieg would
gratify me so mash, as hi‘ owner has never made • emcee
of the good thing" he has got. He id not sanely to be
steerei by JO Wino, one of the cleverest artistes we hoe.
Watrrwoaro (by Bay Middleton, oat of Dart) has long
bold the prod position of Bret favourite, and, in my humble
'pintos, he is well worthy of being a favourite, although he
hoodoo nothing is public that can be eonsidered • fair
"Theriot% of his merit'. His appearume at Newmarket was
hailed by all who had backed him fry the Derby without
moist him with soolamatlons of remitter, mid his greatest
enemies could seemly pick a fault In ; their may hope
sow being that his rather light beak ribs will provost him
Sleights, up the kill. He le • long-etritiag hens, sod the
meet bleed-like salad I bare seen for many • day. Keay
*feet to him beemos he wee " reseed" • little to beet two
