TO TIN IMMIX OP TIM EXPIZIS.

allt,—The split in the racing world will continue
until the conswamelica of the meeting in Canals, whkh
will receive the patronage of those who turned their tasks
upon the South, and misted at Newcastle, and ally by tra-
velling all night con they hope to participate in the enjoy-
ment et the last day's racing at Newmarket, or the opening
scene at Worcester. Not until the Liverpool July Needing,
however, shall we have anything like a concentration dal
the talents, as they have land plenty on their hands of late,
end those who Joined the revels to Hampshire will be quite
content to finish at Newmarket, while Worcester will have
to be mangled with entertaining the stragglers from the
North. . . . . .

The Newcastle running has heralded the probable win-
ners of the principal events at Carlisle, Buttercup's ex-
hibition with Shaft° for the Trial Stakes rendering
tho prospect of her marrying off the Corby Castle
Stakes • bright one, for she is not far behind
the Tyro winner, Vesta, who ism defeated very cleverly by
Sher, for the Orsnd Stand Stakes ; thus, both Vesta and
Ltnchester must considerably improve to regain their poet-
tioas in the Derby quotations. Rachel run auflielewly
forward for the Members' Plate and Gold Cupp to
~be re-
spected in the Greed Stand and City Plata Handicaps ;
and Sheila performed so well over shod courser that with
his weight the Lottery Stakes will not prove a ;my severe
cask, wader there was some foundation for the rowan plus
sine* 6-111Preprhter that he had been through the mill'
with, and beaten by, Little Agnes, at even weights. The

and if Shafto is to be bowled over it mast be by her. The
Northumberland Plate proved the value of private trials, foe

obliged to come to the rescue of the stable at the finiah,
and win with get 121 b, for Lifebost, giving Paul
441 b for a year, had completely settled his pretensions.
The career of Underhand Is certainly the mat remarkable
of say on record, for in addition to performing the name-
oriented feat of winning a great handicap for three year.

about twenty attempts, be has never been fortunate enough to
pull off any other prize during the Interval, when handicapped
on easier terms with his opponents. The nearest approach
to • parallel to his performasce is; Vampyrs getting second
for the Ascot Stakes ln 1847 and 1818, end carrying off that
event in 1844 sod 1849; but we might smelt the calendars
from the endure date for another. Underhand is in the
Liverpool Cap, but crushed with 94 810, and all the
Nertbumberlend Plata has done fur the future is proving
Lifeboat to be formidable for the Goodwood Stakes, and
Paul a pretty good thing for the Cumberland Plate with

however, was slightly amiss, and Chirp not having done too

Beecanter winning with something in hand, and justly_ed-

King Tom. For tie Stewards' Cop we had one of those
stupid scittects which so frequently occur when fleet clam
bores meet with animals of mottoes calibre. Nimrod had
been b rrowelto make running for Fisherman, and Marlogette
having only a few days enviously been tried good
enough to give him about 20Ib, uelther Creswell not Bray
took notice of him, but waited for each other—per orders—
radii nesting the straight, when they discovered that little
Adam, had no intention to mop his horse and Instantly com-
mented a pursuit of him; but there was more in Nimrod than
they imagined, for he ran tmo the straight with a lead of
thirty or forty lengths, and although overhauled at every
ell le, and Adams had to steady him to got home, he won
bye good three lengthy Marionette always bad the beet of
Fisherman, and that they would have been first *and second
had more notice been taken of Nimrod is not for a moment to
be doubted. The ° great" handicap at Winchester turned

Solthin cutting it moat unaccountably In the Qteeelet Pieter
Newcastle best a good hone In public for the fitst thin
this season, though under such circumstanced that whim
as of they meet be may have the tables hinted. The Grange
Park Statue did not bring out one of the celebrities engaged,
s tinsel them being in resents for the two somata at New-
market.
The programme for the Newmarket July Meet•
ing is at present but a skeleton, and but foe
this brace of two-year-old Items being more for-
tunate than moral as regards the quality of the
animals engaged, it would be scorcely worth noticing. The
July Stakes enamor that importance which it deserves, the
entry being a brilliant one, if we may believe ell that is said
of the dark diviebn. As regards the Buccaneer, Tilton:tan,
the Venus filly, Blue Bubo, and Lady Fah:ober, we have
men enough of them in public to be sure they will make the
struggle latereeting ; but to meet them we are to have
Loiterer, tha 500-guinea half-brother to Saunterer; Nichols',
a 600-guinea yearling by Orlando out of Muecovite's dam;
Nana Sahib, by Orlando, out of Tcenrent, bought by Mr.
Payee for 600 guise's; Skelton, a good-looking brother to
Menke; sod perhaps the Pedlar, by Orlando out of Trick-
tome, Merryman, by Birdcatcher, out of Mieerricoo, and
King of Diamond', whose Ascot performanom the New-
market people look upon as to criterion of his real form. I
cannot forget, however, that two years bath two reputed
wondere—Cockta•doodle-do sad Greenfinch—lnn disgrace-
fully beaten, and as two-year-old races gemerally aldose boast
men a pair as Buccaneer and Theasslisa, it le on the
cards for them to obtain the first and second mosey, the
Buccaneer Laing the one I shall place meet reliance an.
Loiterer has a match on the July Stakes day with Apollo,
end if there is anything in good looks he ought to beat him,
while Twang has performed so moderately that the American
may alto have the beat of the match wherein he concedes Mb.
to Umpire. The public running of Ariake' and Madame
Bglentthe has been so good since they were matched against
Orland* sad AminsUe that their omen en not nalikely to
