THE NEVIMARKIT CRAVEN AND
CAITERICK-BRIDOR
TO TO 11D1TOR OP TIM IMPRESS.
SIR, —A five Sys' meeting in April must needs •
be supported with 'yenta of more than ordinary Want
or act eves the bof et its taking place at the m
the turf would prevent a downright failure ; and flea.
consequently, nothing in the brilliant programme fog the
Craven week to make a t boast of, although ft le the
beet that was ever •ueued, u, however exciting some half
doom of the thirty or fonyencounters promised may be, the
fields after Monday surf Tuesday will be very poor,
sicept for the minor plates. I cannot . help thinking
that while the peat guns were improving the meet-
ing they made • mistake in throwing all the large
prime into Tuesday's card, for which the Newmarket Han-
dicap is • feature quite strong enough, and they could spare
at least one of the 'Biennials for Wednesday or Thmadsy,
while, if titer gave up the two —say that for the (owe
th was to divide e tetei.st wish the tjoiumn on ednesday,
when the three•year-olds might take Thursday —it would he
Ml the better, unless they intended to have but one good
day out of the five. It mitten little, perhaps, this year,
ea the threenar-old items with co lively mull !Markin
are particularly funnaate as rapids the description of
animals that will contend for them ; but it would be ridi-
culous to expect the aims good fortune every year, and only
Ira year matches were the order of the day after Twee,
for an grist+ worth winsieg.
The Newmarket Hasamosp, about one mile and three
Tauten, can take mak with any of its rivals and Tem
day's bill of fare requires no better "feature, " the pros-
ect of • large ileld being_ very good, for Blue Jacket,
Gamester, Newmatle, Clydesdale, Masziad, Leff, /Lapis
Simee, Flash in the Pan, Remunerator, White Wave,
Athos, Confectiouee, Narcissus, and Her Highness look
verteia starters ; and Godding's stable will certainly start
oar or two, there being too much mystery surrounding
Wallace, Chore Amis. and Manat•Arnts, who have all
been " put up "la the market, for me to make a pees at
the Simon Pure. There are emend others, perhaps, that
will put in an •ppearance, but they are not suppceted for
the needful, and bey are no more certain than Be Quick
and Chance Shot, aseemiag whom some very
dangerous liberties ban bees taken, if they are to start.
I should like to see Fright ram in his last yeses form, sa be
would be worth standing to beat all the heavy weights ;
but Masxini mutt now take that task upon. himself, and he
has improved so much during the winter that, recollecting
hie roams for twit lithe in bat year's Oesarewitelt„ he has
a very fair chime el
tg reecempsseksg his rtyeir ma
Hasple Simon is rupanningfor
him with
ialas4lll.l4Lleee tke wont of racing weights, and I can hardly
believe is Ida capability to concede so much, although his
form jun new is en good that he must be " there or there-
abouts." Remunerator is turned lose, and ought to beat
.early all the heavily-weighted three-year-ole„ if
semen any pretensions to staying ; but if
roma it in earned with the Man-at• Arms I El
expect to see him tun • great horse, anal his winning
imald not surprise me. Confectioner and Athos have many
and yet it strikes me they are both over-rated,
or to win here with nearly six stone requires • first-class
animal, in which tegory it in difficult to place either. The
Dimly weighted •Her • is quite the equal of them, as
regards looks, and lam half inclined to take such a rank
outrider in preference to anything, the two most dangerous
opposesta she may dimeover being Marini and Remunera-
tor. The Sale Stake never bud a better array of names
than Cavriana, Set 31b ; Egbett, fist 716 ; Merrimac, Bst 716;
and Golden Dream, 7st b: not reckoning for Rattlebone,
Net 11b, and there is no obstacle to either of the quartette
named showing. I have beard good account of the lot,
but can hardly expect any other than Egbert to give
Golden Dream the weight The four-year olds Biennial,
about two miles, has very few of the brilliant lot that
contested it last year left on their lega, and
out of the sixteen that started only Defender,
sir Hercules, and Volatile, axe worth • thosight ; Orlanda,
Scent, May Morning, Conjuror, and cynricus being the best
al the remainder. Defender was in anything but good
form bait Novernher, his case being so bad that they could
not start him for the Liverpool Autumn Cup ; but be is
said to be better than ever now, and there is uothing to
interfere with his success, Volatile being next to him in my
estimation. The three-year-old Biennial, RH., did not
last year dismay any of the Derby cracks ; but the case is
very different now, and it may be deemed policy not to
start either Buccaneer, Umpire, Lupellu.s, or Loiterer, de-
eidedly the most formidable lot in the race. Brother to
Rainbow will then have • very fair prospect of winning,
although I should prefer both St. James sod Van-
quisher to him, but fur the fear they might follow
in the Notate+. of their more popular coutem 'es,
and reserve themselves especially for the Two Thousand.
It is doubtful whether Thortnanhy will go to Newmarket
for the 50 110 T IL Sweepstakes, or he will certainly beat
Rakes and Baron Munchausen on the D. M., and it looks an
equal certainty that Philomela will beat Delusion at 221 b
for three years Across the Flat, although she his 121 b the
wont of racing weights, for the old horse is not at home
beyond • T.Y.C., and the backers of Philomela have a
good line of him through her defeat of Plumper with so
much in hand at Nortluunpton, the tatter having beaten
Delusion at racing weights last
October.
On Wednesday there is nothing besides the Column but
a selling plate closed, and the whilom great event will be
but a dull affair after all, &Otte being good enough to beat
Leprechaun, Eda, and Rsd Dancer, in my opinion. The
remaining two days will so much on previous run-
num, that they require y • passing notice, and I have
only to declare in favour of Sampson fur the 101) son
Sweepstakes ; Sabreur for the Asks Produce Stakes (or
Sparrow Hawk in his absence) ; Itichniond for the Hunt-
bource Stakes ; Promised Lend for the Claret ; Little Lady
for the xi sues Sweepstakes (all on Thursday) ; Sanip•on Ito•
the 100.ovs IL M. Sweepstakes ; Brother to Rainbow (or Thor-
manby) for the 1). M. Sweepstakes ; Thunderbolt for the
:10 son Sweepstakes ; Gamester fur the Port, and Feed*.
rowna for the Free Handicap.
At Catterick Bridge, Cramond must win the Eleventh
'ashy Triennial, or give up all hopes for the Derby, Lord
&timid poneveing his meet dangerous opponent ; and Qui
Viva can hardly lose the Tenth Triennial, the handicap
being also spoiled by Spriegwears manias at N=kkes.

The annual pumal meeting of the Jockey Club will
take place nn W edneerlay, when. in addition to the trans-
action of the ordinary routine business, • probability exists
that some attention will be bestowed no the dames con.
tamed in Lord Beilesilade's Heavy Weight Bill, and that
the club themselves will fix the scale of weights to be
adopted by handimppeni. la order to arceirtain the remelts
of the deliberations of the Jockey Club, Lord Redouble
has deferred moving the second reading of his bill math
after the first Newmarket meetinp, stating that be wishes
every "PP,rteuilY may be afforded the club to discuss the
subject, and express their opinion se to the proper limits.
I acknowledge," writes hi. lordship, " the high autho-
rity they may justly claim in midi matters, and anxiously
desire to secure their approval and co-operation."
The heath and exercise grounds were never in letter
condition. They have an excellent covering of herbage,
and are quite elastic to the tread. The extension of the
wires of the Electric Telegraph Company to the new steed
the flat will afford • great aocoennindation to the
visitors, who have long complained of the want of facili-
ties for the reception and transiniasion of menages from
the heath, whilst at the same time it will stop that recklem
riding into the town by messengers, who in their speed
and their rivalry frequently placed in
_jeopardy the lives
..nd limbs ..f women and children. Mae mistakes, too,
which were made by the clumsy mode of signalling the
',dopers' numbers will. thanks to the arrangement just
made, be entirely obviated.
