THE TWO-YIIAR-OLD CELEBRITIES OF 1859.

Si.,—! left you last week at the Newmarket July
Meeting, following which we had the "little go" at Wanes-
ter, when the funds aSorded two valuable prime for the
youngsters; but they wen not so well supported as they
might have bean, only hell-a-dozen gong for the 500-gatma
Coventry Stakes, for which Rattlebone wee made the
favourite ; but he was doomed to defeat, Fenella, who bad
been out but once previousfy, winning all the way. Betides
the grey she beat the good-looking Man-at-Arms and Pre-
dictor ; but it ia remarkable she hoe not run up to the form
sines, being beaten next day by the moderate Bretthilda, at
201 b for the year, over half s mtle. At Liverpool Emily had
some difficulty in giving her sax 'Lowers to Montrose
(who had the week previously beaten a moderate field at
Ciente), as she only won by a heed, and three were not two
lengths between her and the Maid of Lyme filly. Her But-
terfly proved her form to be superior to that of Vesta, ea she
beat Bhnfto much easier than the latter did Vesta at New-
cud% the extra weight between them being counteracted by
the mile being so much in favour of the 3-p-old. The
Drone showed in form for the find time at Pontefract,
where he beat two good fields nay rally, and among them
the mach-talked of Topsoil pet, Sir Witham Cterescalt% had
to succumb to liattlebone at Abingdon, after a good far,
end the Non showed form there by defeating the Hampton
winner,. The next astounding feat, however Me that per-
formed by Ado, whose filb allowance rabid him to triumph
over Infanta (heeled at ever), Frivolo, Rattlehons, sad
Diadem, which he rendered the more sorprisiag the same day

vantages, Pena& having got ell the beet of the start, and
anal login by a length. The form of the Drone at Stam-

Trovators never having • chance with him; _ but we
had his Dooosster victor, Laminae, beaten by Blue Rain
next day, and the ressearaton of Bacosaser yen
in high spirits, locking at what he had dose
with Blue Ruin. Goodwood did not give us
a favourable account of What% se the Mae
beaten very easily by Poirot.' on the first day, and sustained
another defeat during the week. The Ham Stakes produced
some excitement on account of the meeting of Winton and
Tom Bowline, the former a vicious brute, although one of
the finest specimens of • raw I should wish to purse, and
Tom backward, which drawback just beat him at the littleh.
The Fires Stakes, however, produced the intereet,

stable led to believe the Brother to Rainbow vary dor to
Thormanby, sod the Buccaneers thus thought they had a
lir direct to Nutbourne through their pet's defeat of the
grey ; but the Brother to Rainbow performed so moderately
dace that they most give up the idea, and pay more ratpect
to Nutboorne and lees to The Wizard than they appeared to
do at Goodwood. After Thursday's performances It wee
thought w• had OM the lest of the " cracks "
tar the Derby at Goodwood, bat the Mowry on
Friday afforded a proof of what • different animal
Umpire wee to the ass that was tram by
Trait at Newmarket, as Comance had something to do to
prevent his distancing all opponent% there being no caloolate
tog how mach weight he had in hand at the finish. It malt
not be overlooked that The Divas ran tight In front up to a
welsh point when giving the winner 2411% and the perform-
ers wee, la my opinion, entitled to quite as mach respect r
that of his stable companies, The Wood. At Brighton

between the Postaap colt (now called Nessus). the Collies
Sawn filly, and Lady George (now Codicil). The defeat of
Paleface was confirmed at Lewes by the Colleen Burn filly
brim him very easily ; and it we onosider that Blue
Bala was belt a length behind Paleface, although
with 91b the worst of the weight., the filly's
performance was • good one, and we are certain
to hear further from her next mann. Lopatin' showed in
something like hit old form at Wolverhemoton, and he was
winning the Stamford Biennial so easily that Fordbani was
caught napping within a few strides of the chair by Cromwell
as Stoluatele. who made • nab, and beat him on the post
by a neck. With Emily, Brother to Rainbow, ha, beaten
off, this was good : and when Kendall on Lupullus nest day
gave Stolsenfels 31b, and easily defeated him, with Predictor

sad beet him 20 lengths at Ascot, having previously
beaten him as far when the stable made him nearly as good
• favourite se himself for the Blunts'; and although he won
the Champaign" Stakes, there I. nothing to contradict the
feet of Rester having shown much the best form
of the two, Thormanby being one of the safest
two-yes-olds to get • line from that appeared
during the season. It is my opinion that too much
straw is laid upon the victory of High Treason tor the Prince
of Wales's Suttee here, as it was decidedly • ram between
him, Vesta, and spofforth Maid, Vesta running biro to •
meek. This did not look so grand when Contadina
best Vesta in a common canter the rare day, as ft con-
firmed Thormaoby's defeat of him is the Convivial through

great enrpri.e of the mating was the Safest of Wizard, with

bring 'tanighitie," decidedly ; yet it was astonishing to See
Slab contemn odds laid on him, as there could have been very
little romplcioa of the matter beforehand. That Vanquisher,
however, is • good horse, his define of Upperhand and The
Prophet, la addition to The Wizard, will warrant am in sup-
pastor, etremobilly ea he ran wood to Thormanby when

Thormantry's defeat of Rettlebose for the Eglotton Stakes
was only • confirmation of the running of the pair in the
spring; still the grey ran very badly altogether at the meat.
