general expirations of the moinEorld, It has been of arid-

ton for each important r the Two Thousand
tither, Chester Cup, Derby, and Oaks; for with the defeats
of Mantuan% Star of the East, Proud Preet:.z. Peg, de., and
the victories of ToncOilite, Eclipse, and Heideman, we are
in a good paths to dge fairly se to the probable rafts of
theme events, and the meeting deserves • moat ousted review.
