Mr. Drummond has a couple in Hopkins's keeping at
Lerman* worth a few remark.: Oxford, by Birdcatcher,
out of Honey Dear, and Stolsenfele, by Sir lean, out of

There are several others whom it is impossible to overlook
eltogether, although it is hardly neeetwary to demi with
limn in detail, for the only conclusion that could be arrived
at is eh*. inferiority to something like a dome that might
be yarned. First of these comes Hartley Wenn, by Bey
Middleton out of Faye, who or never hope to get over
Landing, Madame Eglantine, or Bummer, who all de-
feated him with eoniething to span ; then, we have Dart-
month, by Bay Middleton, oat of Dart (vices best potions-
saes was the head defeat of Trenton, to that many to keep
the latter safe, must perform the /erne office for the brother to
Wentworth); next ooene Predictor, by Augur out of Lein
(at the best Tib behind Restos), Oliver, by Newminster, out
el Olivia Augusta, Mixture, by Idle Boy or Black Doctor,
out of Kies Julie, Rising Sun, by Bandy, out of Dawn of
IJay,

,fiea(bgeth and

Plash , d Nana Sahib, by Orlando, out of
Teener. are worthy of mention as the most formid-
able looking repreeentatives of John Dawson's, Weenier's,
Lowe's, Drewiti's, Mr. Saxon's, H. Goatees, and Alexander
Taylor's stables, and either their performance or gond-looks
are sufficient to prevent me putting them in
the third clam At Woolcoes, Hebert, by the
Flying Dutehman, out of Repute, who performed twice un-
stioceinfally, and St. Junes, by Andover, out of Palmistry
(untried) have their partisan', end I shall not rank myself
among their entree ; neither can General Hee, by Nabob,
mild Lady Alice, nor the dark Tembourgi, by B.ataplan,
eat of Flateene's dam, both at W. Goater'e, be overlooked.
We most look closer after such as these, however in handl-
reps ; or, at any rate, see what they are capable of prior to
the Derby, the mejority of them doing such work that a eight
of them may be tally anticipated daring the spring. The
, sister country can send us nothing better than berrowby. by
Neweourt, out of Wryneck. and hie merit' are "dark,' a
walk over being all he bee favoured us with.
To complete this analysis a summary ray is neonsery,
, with a view to aoceunt for the remainder nominated in the
race, and that will form the subject of my next letter, whoa
, the whole 226 subs will be carefully esparated into dater
