SIII.—Thu great Dasebury !dab!e has a dozen re-
preseLtatires, but no favourite to the whole lot. I suppose
they had quite enough of their last year's favourite, and it
will be a long time before they are so sanguine again, even
if they should poem a real wonder.

J. DAY'S (Dansbury).—Duee or Beaufort's colt by Bay
Middleton—lateness; bir W. Codriugton's Hobgoblin, by

Five of John Day's have not a; peered, and Vimr is also
1" stk." Tees o'Nuutter's reams has been geed at times.
At &Asbury he ran a good fourth tor the City Bowl,
Roma", the wiener, giving bin 20. b for a year. At the
some mean; the two again met is the South Western
Railway Stakes, Tam o'Shanter anti helping 351 b for the
I Fier, end he won by • length, the Danbury stable ob'ain-
ing hiMafterwards for 70 son. At Bibury be met Glen-
Masson and seven very bad ones fir the Champagne Btakes,
' sad the latter, with +5 to 4 oa him, hod the greatest diMculty
la pulling through by a head. At Winchester they ran to-
gether eosin for the Orange Park Stakes, Glea-Meson
having a 41b penalty, and yet his friend, threw aside the
previous Ilse and ands him lira fanatics; but the
diffemee in the weights reversed their p rains, as it should
have dose, Tam Ohioan? miming by half a length. Ban-
nockburn was a good third, Miss Nightingale fourth, sad
half • doses others outpaced. He nu at the York August
for the Rawcliffe Stakes, but was stopped some
dlatues has hone, la consequeoes of Schiedam
haring his hones We before they reached the
Celanese. This says very little is hie favour; but '
the greet improvement apparent in him sines he showed at
Salisbury rejects great orodiCoo his trainer, who her hopes
that be will spoil soother "pot" yet before he has done
with his. He will not be wanted for the Derby. Hob-
goblia was a lag distance front his at Bibury, and his
panics in the Woodoote Stakes at Epeom—won by Com-
seation—wee also • bed one, so that his starting is out of
the questiem.
Mohawk completely disappointed his owner at the New-
market Houghton, where be was beaten in a easter by
Nosegay'r for the Glasgow Stakes, sod by Lord Glasgow's
Clarnm colt In • mate*, odds of 3 tel 1 havieg ban laid on
him in the latter race. Osberluesis has snoring very belly,
when entrusted with good money. At Newmarket Secand
October he was seventh for the Clearwell, woa by Loyola,
being Das of the first to cry enough ; sod at the Hagletria
he suffered two defeats—one for the three-mile Plate of 60
sets., where Companion, Amati, Imposter, Fie, and Eng-
land's Beauty ware before him ; and the other (ftereiso
64 IMb), fa the First Class Nursery, where M.D.,
84 Mb, &menet, let 41b, Game Pullet, 7.t 91b,
Peeping Tom 7st 131 b, the Jenne ally, 7st 7th,
the Farmer's Daughter filly, 7st, 91b, Peals Monti, 7st 71b,
sad Yorkehinmen, 74 81b, were the ant lot. This last
perforessue was diegracael, and the taping tackle must
have bees very bad when the Danbury stable thought he
had a Oases for the Derby; he certainly ran unprepared,
is well bred, sad good to look at, but he never showed the
slightest aaptoms of • race-hone, and he has but a poor
she. Mohawk is also worth looking at, accept when
rearing, whoa he appears se if a donkey could beat
Autos bag started four times, and, like his heather,
Ladoga, shone but feebly as • two-year-old. At New-
market July he went for the July Stakes, but in sash •
backward state that t• wee friendless at the post ; yet he
did net Magma himself, as he ran a good fourth to Dry
soar, Binder Zee, and Luabosru, the Ma Me colt beteg
• good 11th, and Darby Miller neat. He was not fended
"seep by lie plucky owner, for his smock at
the same rusting with the aba salt, sad the
latter started with the call ; bat be beat his is
• ester, efter running all over the mine, and
the letter's subsequent manna proem he mut have bees
bed indeed bad be not woo At Doncaster September he
we. pissed last for the Chasaiegne—a positios which he
essiatalsed from start to finish, end the pepper was seed
very freely against him for the Derby is consequence. Yet
at Newmarket Snood October he was very nearly speeding
the " ansiaty" for the Preadergast in Sydney, tis party
having backed him at long shots very qu:etly. There was
• good lot behind I. Fugitive (a moderate third), Demme,
and Besehnst, the two first mentioned earryteg penalties.
11 he only improves as gnieklx_duting the wiater as he did
dung the interval between punster end Newmarket,
veer few superior animals will be seen at the pat. Alliance
has bees ef great serene to " Mr. Robinsoa.'. st.
He was a
bad fourth to Anemia, Vigil, and Western Power at Stock-
bridge, sad beaten several Maths from the Chevalier
d'lsdhegrie and the Physslis colt in the Clusteradd
Stakes at Newmarket July; bat he won 1
hundreds for his owner at Newmarket fought** ia
his match with the Clarisie colt, whom he just waged to
best by a neck, Alfred Day's petind riding contributing
=sob to the melt. This asks, him a little better thin
' Mohawk, but Mr. Robinson's horse on the Daisy day will
be Antos, if be can stead the preparation, which is • doubt-
. fel point jest now, and bean the support given to Henry
VIII. who skews a wonderful improvement on the form he
inhibited at Bibury when, entered to be sold for 300 eon.,
he est dowa Blue Bell, 3 yes, Nisette, 3 yes, Grey Dawn,

' awkward.lookiog animal that no one took a fumy to him,
although he gave all his oppouguts but Loogsight about 201 b
in the weight for age scale, and Longsight, who wona good
race at Newmarket at the close or the season bed some
14Ib the best of him. It meet be borne in mind that this
