TO TOO IM7IOI OP MI WPM,.

SID,—A. the above admirable little meeting meat
take precedence of everything else for the sect three or few
days, I mat dekr my observations on the Chester Cap he
a awe ening opportunity, which will be afforded me doting
the current week, when the Aintree meteg might ambit act.
At Limpet we have the erg . legitimate" gathering of
soy greet importance, and the chief features in the pro-
gran pring Cap and Grand National Steeplechase
—will doubtless cause it to recedee a geed 'share of paerosege.
The minor awls have not been too freely supported, sad
the 600 anise given to the different stakes are not likely to
lee witty embattle, for them, except in one or two instanoei.
For the Trial Stakes tare .ue but ex Nabs.; for the Aintree
Plate, eleven; 30 Sort. Plate, twelve (two here paid) ;
Seams Handk' ep tweay-tw, (six paid); 60 dove. Plats, tea
(ow paid) • and Tyro Sakes., eleven ; and yet there are 240
sera. distributed ever these •• 1 tibiae.," so that if the fields do
net come up to those d'art yen, we must not dente the Per. of the sport, whose liberality is cleaning of a g. rater
share of support. With no entries as yet made for the
Trial Stakes, oat tails, we can only ape-ulate on what may be
non towed. and I vine that it will be another routeet between
those two rivals, Mr. Berber and Mr. T. Parr. They
apposed each other with "dagger drawn" at Lincoln, Coco-
arks and Odd Trick having started twine defies. day, and

To deal with three is a v.ry &Melt matter, for
it is reduced to • question whether worn-out fiat
terms like Treachery, Lough Bairn, the Brewer,
and Little Tom can get over the jump., for that they can
brat the steeplechasers for speed et the weights there can be
no qtrestimr. Stith homes as these mentioned should have
the hiehett instead of the lowest weigher, as they could give
weight to everything else in a Marmite gallop, and maim
their owner. thought they soul I jump they would not enter.
The Brewer has romathing of the Mae plechmer about him, if
looks have to do with it ; but he has been blinked oat of the
market (which is in • state of great confusion, and it in im-
possible to dot when the genuine money is), and if he b not
