Day is now at its height, and the morning papers of the lint
few days have bees gemmed just se eagerly for the lake of
discovering the WOK niovemente on the Derby se the latest
intelligence from Italy. The merest tyro in roc* matters
has been so intimated in the oilseeds& end retiring of the',

aupposed to be "upto • thing or two" if he, circle of non-
mow acquaintames be of any @Meat, as be is sneaked by
Rapines of " What's to win the Derby f" from morning
till night, and he is bound to give th.m an opinion of every
animal they might have drawn in a family sweep." They,
however, beat him on one point, for soma will prompt to him
horses he hod red idea were in the Derby, and if
be but vesture to hint be bad never beard of their being en- I
mod, the sonooner of the "sweep" is down upon him in
• moment with • "Burs Guide," on which he has spent-
land beltea-crown for ism other object than that then should
be no mistake, and he then ends out for the AM time that
there are such horses as Cheek', Arietedmaws:

Tmeday's sport will not be Werke to either of the grand
days, Lathe public mossy emottats to 600 guineas, and the
Craves Stakes are sum he he contested by firet.olais animals,
who will run to obtain • mom ecerect line for some of the
Derby cracks. Then we have the Woodcote Stakes, for two-
year-olde, (crimp, worth 6301 the Roos Headlamp,

at 10 auvs each, h ft, with 1001. added; the Ideatboote P late
and the limos Stake,. For the Woodote, Lupullue will have
• stronger lot to beat than have optceedh‘m since he woe hie

were hie defeat of North Lincoln at Northampton a

ryman is pretty forward, and should he represent Hr.
Retry ho will do quite ea much with Lupulloa se Thor-
mashy did bore in April. Magnetic, Hem; the Spinner,
Naga addb, and the Rap have all tint-close repumioss at
home ; but on the state of ths ground will depend how many
of them en the post. Lopelloa, Chirp, and Merryman, in
the order lamed, shall comequently represent tee. TM Me-

formed ro much better in the bath Handicap that the die-
team might have had to do with his detest, and he may

the pair ameeldag to do, Pardoner, Ills korai!, and Palm

Day has the toilets the Railway Handicap, at 6.t 71b; but
he has 'shim to select from, sad his reprerent.tive will
take some Matta& although Fright, 6 yrs, Tat 10Ib, would

of the weights, and at the distance Olympas, Lord Nelson,

Um/ from the position he took op since his Two
nessemil viefter, despite the resent edema, of Mosjid and
end are at lan as general to his proton-
-2— ..rrvillpey grimier than Derby favourites generally
we Meet. Mew be North Untwist last swarm and cur
dews bit geld Iw the Two Thousand, It is not tweemary for
weespitalate; all that at all isthmus his hackers now
is hat it ion, which I have so he nation in smarting is

W dubbin touch, he may approach very neer hie starting
peke fee the Two Diamond. —rem are come even now who
semen San as to his staying; but their fears Mu coklontly
got the better of their judgment, be having been tried at
Moe to travel double the Derby distance "like a IWc."
TM gaieties who is to ride has not, I believe, been Soapy
settled, as Pordbem who has been talked so much about,
ma be claimed ice Newcastle, if his party think proper to do
so; sad from the meaner in which he has been supported
within the last twenty-four hours, it is at least probable they
will sot forego their claim. It would be hard on" Tbe ban-
tam" were be to Wee such a chance of carrying away the
bias wired. la which be has obtained a " place' but once,
while his rivet Wells hes born noticed by the
Saari time be had • menet, befog fourth on
third on Hound, second on Yellow Jack,
on Adams', and drat on Beadiness. This
lea pester shore of favour than has befallen say of the con-
temporary jockeys living, and it is not more than an even
&MO ageism his being again placed, for he is ta have the
magi es ilmjid, the vigorous moaner In which be piloted
Dloosed M Herpesden moving him to have completely re-
amers& tree hie Chester occident. The backers of Mit.jid
were greatly alarmed by the doings concerning him at Bash,
as from the maser in which he had always bee. supp idled
by Ow" right division" there would have been so Mbereause
for it than • scree being loose with the horse; bat it manly
a false alarm, sad from those who took • liberty " on specs- I
Woe," having to get out, he will see a shorter price
than ever owing to the movement. Since he beat Eberle at
Steekbridee, there has been nothing brilliant in his perform-
woes, and from North Linovln's defeat of him in the New
Stakes the Promised Land has him se safe as possible on
pablic tanning. Like Beadman, however, be was never fairly
mind as .two-yrold, and he will go to the pat a favourite
on the strength of his privets doings with the Beacon, and
We own good looks. Now, the Beacon Is one the most
doubtful gentlemen to try • horse with that mold be found, as
be is evideatly good only at an out of the way distance, and
Rood as he may be at that, we most not be quite sure his
defeat of Tournament and Rosen Candle was no " fluke."
Th 4 Mouid is a good-looking bum and a splendid gone,
there is no denying ; but whether he can master the Derby
Conroe so wall as be might many others in England there
we plumy to mimes • doubt, and I shall rank myself of the
Salither, the mid I ma expect of bum is to keep up the
drier, and eery Wells lam • " piece." Trump-ter has
dome se much in public this swan as the Promised Lend, for
ha boot Cyarieue out of eight at Bath, and he 14 undoubtedly
W most formidable rival to the crack in she rate, for he hes
not been knot bed about. Ever since he won bit first race at
Bath be has advanced in public estimation, and hie
petty have made no rent of their fondants. Yet
It is strange if the Days have not amalgamated
' for this OCCiaOl3, as I cannot forgot the Donahue, des were
among the most prominent of the Promised Land's Two
Thalami Guineas supporters, and they would hardly Met
as rivals now with two good hordes. &me few Taiteubsta
Corner will do for Trompeter, and that hi. leg will give way
to descending the bill, hut I have not the !eau f-sr on that
MAO, Peithef knee thOle who should be le tier judgee, and
if it should suit his party to beat the Promoted 1. and, end
be is capable of doing so, the Derby is very nearly over.
My opinion is that the Woodyeates crack, h drover, has
not hie equal In !reining. and that he ran beat Bret
elms Imam as easily as such wending as the Filing Dutch-
men, Stifle Bonny, &-., have dome before him. Oameter
and Phantom only have any Mends trim Whitewall, San-
log not having done enough work to be feared, and although
the former is supported for nett money, J. Scott, to win the
Derby, most Moo with Phantom, for Gamester, when very
ht last year, was beaten away horn such holm as Cavendish
and Rainbow, the latter having bus almet distant cd by Pro-
mised Laud at Goodwood. Phantom wee one of the duet
yearling's ever ream soles be was not put into thong work
wail late last seas" it le evidint be woe fa
arm for some. Diaspeoiatiag hi. party moat on-
aeeouetahly in the Two Thousand, be showed
what a admits It was by Minim the Newmarket
Stakes, ant be is the may outrider that I think might odors
Melted with the Bine Mahood, toe we have rd We correct
maeure. Olembeck has done all that Me been &eked of him
✓emady, but he has still a bed temper which will be certain I
to wade his pretemions should theme • few false storm
and even were he to :up kindly I doubt his ability to live
with MS • horse as Premised Lead. Neweasiles form was
uldoitied to an ounce at York, where he win. Leven by
&iamb at 11 lb, alter a emcee race, and as the Litter was

beaten at about the same weight by she Coromod.re, when
Mr. Boron got him to Halmstad, the latter being so far
behind Trompeter in tba Newmarket Biennial ought to
keep Named' ale, even awning he hes improved • stoat
on the Lewes air. Balaarnoon has been by far the most M-
used horse in the Derby, for, noteritbstandieg the confidence
them immediately connected with him have always betrayed,
and the money they have entrusted him with, be has bare
saved meet unmercifully, and his enemies report him the
greatest impator that ever cams out of Yorkshire. But
6r his having been pricked a few weeks back, In
tar sanace of which ha was stopped some days in
his work, he would have bean the most premising
youngster from that county, sad even now be may be
arra the front at the finish than his oppamrts wJI care
fee, salsas they have very area; nerves. IMeder is not a
Derby bone, although a useful one over a fiat, and Timis-
peter must repeat the dose he gave him at Newmarket.
Aegean is made fee the same Utah ; bat it is a moot point
whether ha will last out a mils ant • half, and this doubt,
coupled with Ariedne having eying him weight and &Latina
before the One Thousand, is a sufficient reason for my discard-
ing him. Illactric has, like Balnamoon„ had a host of remit.,
the horse near bevies had the beet of legs so that there were
always foroppoeition, although should disposed be-
ams soft he will trouble the whimr from end to sod, and
these who stand against him are not half at velvet. The
Tieket-ofeLeave end Cavendish have been so effected by the
hard ground that they have not been in full work at • time
whim they most needed it, the day bring so near at hood
that they will not see the post in their best form, sad they
mast fell back among the eeond.rata division. The
others do not mare any particular mastics; end, to
ma up, I should look for something a • rase
Winos Promised Land and Trumpeter were they
to ewes each other with daggers drawn, and that the win-
ner to comprised la the pate is my irm optnica—besedlipoll
public running, the condition of the b and the tow of
the market; but I still incline to the Promised Lead as the
animal of the two.
mristrld snythieg Una:cant occur, I shall again commu-
nicate with you before the race takes piece; but the Oaks
must not be meddled with for a day or two, and I shall Na-
tant myself with hinting that Mayonaise has a promising
outsider to beat is Schism.—l am, fee., xErsoa.
