Loyola basdone wonders both in public and prlvate,seeieg
the acidities he was in. Hs was not prepared at Stamford,
yet his good looks sued the public to nuke him • favourite,
and he ran a good third to Imperious sad Bannockburn.
At Doseaster he had not improved much is condition, but

was turned the wrong wsy whoa the flag fell, being the only
on. who persevered throughout, end he gradually teamed all
his horses incept Loyola by the time the distance was
reached; but although ha made strenuous effort' to over-
haul his, he was beaten in a common canter by
eight lengths. The Loyola party were in ecstasies,
en they had entrusted him with their money for
the Ant time • and the corioaceitii were very load
la their prides; of his style of going, which was well
worthy of their admiration. He is one of the last goers
that ever was seen, gad if the money goes on him for the
Derby—sad it is not yet on in earnest, recollect—ls is one
of the formidable@ • to a certainty, and Lord Clifden's
tern may ease round again to win the Herby, as be did
with his Sri in 1848. Seeing how Sydney beat his field the
same week for the Prendergest, the performance was one
of the best of the year; it would have been the boot bad the
start boa a little more satiefeetory. There has been plenty
of ink about the two others la the stable, who are clerk,
bet little anxiety Is ever manifested to beck them, and they
are not likely ever to be supported by the stable, who are at
present Levitt mad, the prioeipall ease of his quietude is
the market being their inability to get on at a resalable
pries. Bookmaker are to taken up with his looks
that many who had a good book before he appeared
are greatly inclined to let him run for them;
while these who had not began prefer waiting
till reassable pries are to be laid, for at the present time
there an bat two—Blink Bonny and Loyola—at less than
20 to 1, sad they are respectively at 12 tai and 16 to 1 soh
—set takes freely either ! Those who commenced early,
however, have better hooks than have hitherto been seen
at this period of the year. Whatever hsppinis to Loyola, I
must sea the two derides" in blooming condition—sod
perhaps not then—before I alter my present opinion that
they are not wields 14Ib of him at a sods/ate distance.

Admired Maim White first ran at Readirg, when be wall
entered to be sold for 30 sou., bet could only get a bad
fifth, for the Ladies' Plate, won by Ida, who bed the worst
of btu at weights for age. Miss Nightingale and Profile,
two others of his year—the latter with the worst of the
weights—were second and third. At Warwick 8 .ptensber
he showed a alight improvr meat, but was beaten easily by •
auk by Deademons, yet he beat The Abbot, Lady St. Liz,
and the Sarum colt; the two others that ran beiog out of
the rue through an accident. At Leicerier be met Profile
la a bendicap, and. having the best of the weigh's, he heat
her by a tech, the only other young one that ran being
Stormer., who was made to give him 14:b, and she wee
unplowed is consequence. He meet Profile again nest der
at about the same weights as before, when the latter got
away with sarong lead, and won in sewer. At Bedford he
beat Pamper. and Our Creature in a canter for • selling

Handicap at the Houghton, ell but Dewdrop, the winner
giving him weight. He is a geldieg, but has no allowance
of weight for it here, even if be were fit to tun in good
company. The Duke only ran for the New Stokes at
Aunt, where he was the "absolute last," the pace having
been t:o wood for him thnuohout; yet at lug distances be
might possibly be lawful. Kiognisker's only performsnoe

backers whenever he should run seilia in proper condition.
He is so decidedly inferior, however, to his stable comps
Dion Q-nama di Vergy, that he will not be entrusted by hie
party for mock motet' here.
Satanic' was beaten off at Harpenden arid Epsom for the
Two Year Old S•ckee, both won by Commotion; at Arcot
he was burly lost for the New Stakes ; at Winchester, .lath
to Tam o' Shunter, Oles Banneckburn, Miss
Nightingale, and Arnett for the Graege Sarkis, wethieg but
M D. being worthy of note behind hem, and he might have
given him 2010 end beaten him in a ranter three menthe
