TO THE EDITOR OP THE EIPRFRR.

Ettit,—Derby dreams, Derby sweeps, Epsom
hampers, D'hlstourriel's hock, the Rake's head, Van Am.
burgh's whereabouts—these arc the national questions
for the time being, John Bull having this week given
himself up to the spirit of the turf, and for a few brief
hours forgotten all his other pleasures or pains. To
"horsey" England, the Derby of '67 has long been a source
of trouble, use old favourite after another having " gone,"
till et last there was only The Rake and Mai keinan left to
depend upon ; hence the fortner'eblool-letting, on the very
eve of the nice, caused almost as much grief us though another
St. 1: irtholotnew massacre had occurred, and no " Reuter"
from across the seas could have created a grafter sensation
than the tebetninis from Newmarket, announcing his
heel:dug of a blood-vemeL But the great event might be
reduced almost to a walk over—like the Oaks of h riday
seat—without losing any of its interest in the eyes of the
million who make the Derby day their carnival, and
who care no more about the quality of the competitor,
than do the patrons of the meeting on Moulsey Hunt.
They would go to see The Rake, Hermit, Plaudit, Dragon,
Teraina, and D'Estournel contest the Blue Riband against
Vauban, Van Aniburgh, Julius (three most contemptible
personages at the close of last year's running), Marks-
anti, and Grand Croce, if they were a hundred times
e`safe ;" and have much less fear of the fatal " two days
at Bath " than the skyey influences on the eventful
morning. Critics, however, saw much to employ their
faculties over on the Lanedown, where Van Amburgh,
until lately stable companion to The Rake, made the
Danebury lion look very mild by his defeating
Wroughton fourteen lengths and three-quarters further
than did Vauban at Newmarket, People could not believe
'their eyes when they saw the scarlet jacket beaten all the
way ; but it is remarkable that Vauban has become a better
favourite since, excuse as we may his apparent deteriora-
tion, and the bold auseburyite who took 6 to 4 about him
Ea kindly on Saturday could hardly have thought there
was such a hone as Van Amburgh in the Derby. Who
Relight the latter is a query not yet clearly settled up,
there being many who doubt whether Lord Durham has
become his purchaser, or that ho has been sold at all. If
he has, his new party must have sent a lot of money Into
the market to back him, as he came with a rush :simulta-
neously with the reports of his transfer, in despite of
the assertions of The Rake's that their pet was 12th
the better home. How many more changes are to
occur before 3 p.m. on Wednesday it is impossible to
guess, and the Craven may bnn; about more than
one flare-up, if Moulsey, Knight of the Crescent,
SI atheonan and Sultan enter and start for it, the former
baring tried Marksman so well as to make them take 7 to
1 about the yellow boy. This event will open the meeting
on Tuesday, when we shall have a glorious afternoon's
sport, the Woodoote being quite a juvenile Derby, and a
very open rave, unites,. there is a " clipper " in the " dark "
division, the best of the thirty public hones among the
eighty rube. being pretty well .together. They are Lady
Hightliorn, Speculum, Balsam, Forest King, Lord Pal-
: mereton, Hatchniest, Cork Jacket, and Liotor, and the
Lord and the Lady stay so well, that it should be a fight
between them, though the filly has done the best hitherto ;
but if the money recently put upon Michael de Bane for
the Derby of 1868 is not thrown away, he should beat
all such form as this, and even in his absence the new
lights may outshine the old, Baron Rothschild—whose
good time is coming on—having two slashing colts already
' at Epson, called Restitution and King Alfred. The
. Heathoote Plate is another extremely n
event, some rare flyers being in the list, including,
Ormatiury, Ohtreger, Nike, and Queen of Trumps, who can
fairly settle the point now which ought to have won the
Badminton at Rath, had all got off on even terns. I have
an (minion that Cranbury will bike some heating again,

great as is my respect for- Xi • but little Griniston never
had a better chance to distinguish himself, being just the
sort of two-year-old to run old ones at weight for age.
His bowling over all the above-named with Knight of
• the Garter, Seam, Skipper, Icicle, Salliet, Mr. Pitt,
Ninny, and Veda, will be no surprise ; and with Timaru
' out of the way, as intended at present, he may just about
win. The Tattersall's Handicap will bring out a hot one
from Newmarket, Sweet Anne being turned loose, as is also
• Wadlow's Honeymoon, both of which four-year-old, how-
ever, might have to knock under to Knight of St. Michael,
who can just get the course. There is a better class of hence
in the Rona Handicap, oue mile, and hence Sweet Anne
does not appear quite so threatening, even with a lighter
wakdat, such ti.ings as Seringarestam, Bmdamante, and
Lady Rosehill being more to my liking, the first-named
only requiring to be in his best fonu to win. Several of
the homes engaged in the events above enumerated are in
the two plates that help to fill up the card fur the grand
day, so that to deal with them now would be premature,
and the two other minor affairs fur Wednesday have not
closed yet.
The Derby field, for all the accidents that have hap-
, paned to the cracks and the threatened hardness of the
course, will be a large one, the umhrmentioned all being
spoken of by their own parties as likely to perfonn :

The above are not all certain starters, it being bard to
conceive why a " pony^ should be paid for Eglarnoar,
lieu of Ross, Owain Otyndwr, the Amanda colt, or Vici to
nau in such company, their chances not being so good
even either of Ben Nevis, Corporal, Flamingo, the Split-
vote colt. and others that have been spoken of as likely
to ran, but whose starting. is now en very doubtful ; still,
some of the favourites will want the way shown their,
and one or two are pretty certain to crop up in the places
of those that might be missing from the above list, whilst
Patricien's victory in the French Derby may bring over one
of M. Delsnistrre's. The jockey arrangements, too, may
be altered. as Custance Is not certainto ride the Hermit,
he having been spoken of as the pilot of The Rake until
this unfortunate cams to grief, whilst until the rumours
of Van Amburgit's sale went abroad Chsloner was to have
tooled him. However, these are matters that will not be
. . .

definitely settled until'the morning of the race--even then
the official card will not be correct—and they are not of
primary importance, Dragon, D'Estournel, Fitz-Ivan,
Grand Cross, Gipsy Ring, Hermit, Julius, Marksman,
Plaudit,The Palmer,The Rake, Vauban, and Van Amburgh,
requiring only to be good enough in themselves for their
pilots to be quite capable of steering them home. This
baker's dozen art carrying what is called the " best
money," and to them the MOe will be mainly confined, the
" dark " Beanstalk, Master llntterfly, and Thornapple
giving no signs that they will follow in the footsteps of
kiavemake or Blair Athol ; nor does the handiaip form of
Roquefort and Tynrdale, respectable as it is, give
them much chance of troubling the winner, whatever it
might be ; nor may Taraban's alteration enable him
to show Met yet the flint-chute qualities he was supposed
-to postale before his disgrace at Newmarket. De►ling
with the above-named thirteen, I will first take in hand
the doubtful custamers—D'Estournel, Hermit, Plaudit,
and the Rake. having come to such grief this spring that
even their starting has been doubtful. D'Estournel and

The Rake were set down as " dead settled" only forty-
sight hours ago ; but it appears that the lameness of Mr.
Ravile's colt on Friday was only temporary, be having
taken a good gallop on Saturday, wherein he showed so
little of his al temper that his friends have greater
• hopes than ever of seeing him run up to his two-year-
old form. The Rake, again, is not quite gone, and if he
does not break out again (a mishap, however, that is but
too probable) he may yet win the Derby, there being
no question about his public form being the best in the
race, whilst his great superiority to Van Amburgh when
the two were together made the Mexican blues confident
they had a " certainty" upon Hermit and Plaudit going
out of favour, especially after the lion king's doings at
Bath. Hermit may be eat down as done with, be having
been stopped in his work for many day.. and being a great
deal worse off than Plaudit, who since the Two Thousand
has hail some good gallops on his new ground, and is even
looked forward to in some quarters as a amend Daniel
(O'Rourke). Dragon, Grand Cross, and The Palmer,
whose in-and-out running last year was so perplexing, ere
-said to have been beaten in their trials at last, and to be
melees, the overthrow of the Lagrange pair in the French
Derby being dead against Dragon ; nevertheless, the Cron
atilt has its followers, and I must say no Derby of the
past few years looked more like a eurnrise than the
forthcoming, though whether we are to have one of The
Wizard's staggerers is not quite as palpable. Fits-Ivan
and Gipsy King we have never seen the best of no doubt.
and whilst the latter has done all he was asked in a trial
with the Chester Cup victims, the Irishman is mid to
have shown all the improvement he gave signs of making
when stripped after his second in the City and Suburban.
Bqt any poor benighted " prophet " who looked beyond
the four cracks—Vauban, Msrksman Julius, and Van
Ainlourgh—for the winner would be called a maniac, and
certainly it does not wear on paper that anything beyond
the Rake's revival, or the chapter of accident., can jeopar-
dise their chances. The doings of the lot are too well known
to require retapitulating.and the way the three first-named
can home for the Two Thousand (in the oiler enumerated,
with about two lengths between each) is fairly represented
by the betting, albeit Marksman's good trial with Moulsey,
and the mhsegnent running of Julius with Lord Lyon,
have raised. hopes that the running on the Rowley Mile
'might be reversed. Van Amburgh finished even a long
way behind the three, but no notice could be taken of
this, his defeat of Rescue for the Dee ; next, his gallant
win at atasot ; and, finally, the overthrow of Wronghton,
quite putting it in the shade. The last-named perform-
ance made him read a much superior colt to Vauban, who,
on the other hand, has been backed for so much money
nines that his party must know better (Wrought= cm-
'tainly looked light and bad last Tuesday) ; and not liking
'the mystery that surrounds Van Amhurgh, or caring to
trust 111 two customers that have so often run shifty, I am

compelled to fall lack upon the favourite for the winner,
and tiegire fur

VAUBAN.

After the InsiCe and turmoil of the Derby-day, the
sport on Thursday will be quite enjoyable, and the present
promise of it is fair, two of the five items made up bang
interesting, and the four to close pretty certain of good
entries. For the Two Year•ohl Stakes quite a string of
celebrities will join issue, Lady Slizabeth, Grimston, Blue
Gown! Ninny, Weather Isle, Idaho, Eleouura, King Al-
fred, Lady Highthorn, Balsam°, and Hatchment, being a
nice lot to run half a mile ; and as only the four laijt-
named arc in the Woodcote, the contest is sure to be in-
teresting. My ideas at present point to Lady Elizabeth,
she having given Blue Gown equal to Mb when they met at
Buth, though Sir Joseph's magnificent colt will be all the
better for the extriteight days' work, and was, withal, dis-
appointed on that mission. Tuesday'. and Wednesday's re-
sults hal better be awaited before the Grand Stand Cup is
meddled with, tempting so Midwife may be now, for there
are Rama, Sealskin, anti Knight of the Crescent or War
to look after, and Dunaany is sure to like the Derby
course. The Four-Year-Old and Shirley Stakes are re-
duced almost to walks over already, Artesian being the
only one under orders to. the find named •, and Ailesbury
is the best to back for the match. In Friday's list there
is the He:alley Stakes waiting for Ninny, and the Oaks for
Colonel Pearson's filly, apparently, the following being the
lot that will probably oontest the ladies' race :
vreFllb. Jockey. Tilly. Jockey.
Achievement .... Cartence (rponax ll. Covey)
Arapelle
Sounceas ay .... Maim Romping Gld
Bumbleklte FM...Men Seville
Hlppta
Mannrlta
Mader Hail

Taking last year's performances as s line, Hippie should
be second, and Seville. blanuella, and Arapeile next to
"The Wonder;" but Mr. Graham's horses seem so out of
form that it will not do to trust Mannella, and the " iru-
proved" Bumblekite ain't take her plane, though
Aen Er 'Naar may win so easily that after the second
money is secured (by Hippie?) the best may not persevere.
The dyer is in the Foal Stakes, but is pretty certain not
to start, and Mr. Porter might pick up the hundred with
Newland.—l am, Sc., METEOR.

TATTERSALL'S-BArimpAy.

The last day of what may he termed " Tattersall's week" wee
signalised by a strong muster of members. The iinwnfall of The
Rake, apart from monetary considerations, appeared to exorcise
• depressing itithienre over speculation generally, and the sect-
deut. t gether with its COWWClllellrell, formed the theme of ge-
neral discussion. As regards the proceedings of today generally
it was noticeable that wagering was chiefly contlnel to the
three first maned horses in the quotations, and this narrowing
of the range of speculation Is not to be wondered at, when it is
remembered that some heir-dome candidates. once occupying a
prominent position, have been sent to the risht about. Of the
leading three Iwt bed this afternoon, Vauban maintained his
exalted position with characteristic tenacity. At first hackers
steel out for: too, imt as these odds were obtainable In rare in-
stances, the Rum:torten of the favourite subsequently waived all
niceties of pints, and accepted 6 to 4, several hundads being
invested at the figure. As much as 2to 1 was also laid on him
for a place, and it Is beyond a question that the confidence re-
peal la the Donebury representative Is as hearty and unstinted
is tt can well hs. In the early part of the afternoon Van
Amburgh was In considerable request, and hacked for large sums
at 6 to 1, but when this had ban accomplished he somehow
hung tire, and his friends were aught but reassurod bye

known speculator stepping forward and offering 7 to 1 against
the " Lem-tamer." 7 his offer was accepted to £5O, and the
hacker offered to take 700 to 100, hut the layer declined to go tm,
and the horses quotation finally became 01 to 1, offered. Merles •

then?}, sad ultimately?l to 1, the investments at each of
these stage* being heavy and numerous, anti the total outlay
could have fallen little short of £5,000. Julius was
not wanting friends, but they did not seem to fancy
the price offered ; 15 to 1 was now and then laid,
but If 1000 to 00 could have been had, it would
have been taken three or four times. As a matter of
coarse The Rake afforded food for much epeculatlon, and all
acrd of picas were laid and taken, commencing at 100 to 7, and
extending to 180 to 4. At 20 to 1 a considerable aumiwt was in-
vested, hut as the odds were taken In the majority of instances
by bookmakers, the transactions can scarcely he regarded as for
any other than hedging purposes. The dosing offer against Mr.
Pryoes colt was 16 to 1, and he left off with a very unhealthy look.

quotations, while D'Esiouniel and The Palmer occupied Identical
positions at 1000 to 30 taken and offered. The two unfortunates,
liermit and Plaudit, were laid against at 40 to 1 and 50 to 1. and

EPSOM RACE.

The fine morning tempted large numbers to visit Epsom yes-
terday, and there were more people present on the downs than
have been known for many years on the "'nude), previous to the
Derby. The course Is in capital order, and well covered with
balsam. The new enclosure between the Grand Stand and liar-
nani's Stand forms the great feature In the improvements on the
aurae, and the thanks of the raring public, and in fact all w-
eas having business to transact at Kpsom Yarn, are due to Mr.
Briscoe, M.P., the lord of the manor. for allowing the ground to
be turned to so useful a purpose. lin this space a temporary
building has been erected, comprising two rooms 20 feet loosen
for weighing and lockers rooms, and in front of this, Insane
down to the course, a spare 90 feet by 45 feet wW be avail-
able for an unsaddling paddock, into which the drat three
horses In every race will be admitted, and thus relieved
from the pressure of the crowd. The alterations have
been inspected by Chief Superintendent Walker, of the A dlvi-
dun of Metrepolitan police, and he has reported thereon to Sir
Iticliard Mayne, recommending an addition.' force, by reason of
the larger area which will be under charge of the polies. It la
needless to state that these suggestions will be acted upon, so
that there shell be no hitch whatever in the business arrange-
ments. Conapicnous also among the improvements is a shed in
Mr. Heathcae's paddock, to be used for =Ming In case of bad
weather. There was very little iudication yesterday in the town
itself of the near approach of the great week, but on the course
all was life mid motion. Among the arrivals up to yesterday
morning ware Master Butterfly, and Lord Hastings and Baron
Itothschilde la of four, constitute of Hippie, Jasper, Restitu-
tion, and King Alfred. These were early out on the downs,
end did some gentle exercise. Plaudit, Strathcouan, and
Lozenge have also arrived. John Wooers lot of eight, including
Grand Cross and Knight of the Crescent, reached their quarters
at Leatherhead on Saturday. The indications of a brilliant
meeting are more than usually encouraging, and floe weather
alone will be required to render next Wednesday the great
national holiday of the sport-loving people of Angland.

At a meeting of the members of the above
council the folowing is an outline of what took place. A
letter to the President from Mr. B. Samuelson, M.P. for
Banbury, was read : it was dated, " House of Commons,
May 3," and said—" I thank you for your circular. You
will no doubt have seen my amendments to the Factories
Act Extension Bill, the effect of which was to bring all
factories, by easy stages, under that bill, thus obviating
the objection that at present there are not inspectors
enough, nor persons having the requisite qualities for fill-
ing that position. The bill has, however, been referred to
a select committee, which is probably equivalent to defer-
ring it till next session. I have always had great satisfac-
tion in promoting any measure which may give protection
to young persons, and afford en opportunity to children of
acquiring at least the rudiments of knowledge." The fol-
lowing resolution was paired That, in the opinion of
this council, the action taken by the small section of ma-
nufacturers, requesting Mr. Bright to ask that the Fac-
tories Act and Workshops Bill may be referred to a Select
Committee, has placed this town in an unfair position, and
it is entirety opposed to the interests of the people."
The following letter was also read:—" 6, New York-
street, Ardwick, Manchester, May 11, 1867.—Mr. Bateson,
—Sir, I have no doubt but that you are aware that a dis-
pute has occurred between the journeymen tailors of Lon-
don and their employers, over what is termed a time log,
or time allowed for making garments, Sze.; but the masters
have deserted the first cause of the dispute, and are now
trying their utmost to break up our union, by sending de-
putations through the country to persuade employers to
lock out their men, and break up the union. We have
UM) men out at present in London alone, and our fellow-
tradesmen are out in Darlington, Middlesboro', Belden-
stall, Carlisle, Cowes, and Ryde, Isle of Wight, and Bud-
' derafield. But our appeal is on behalf of the association
in London; if, therefore, your association deems our case
deserving of your attention, and by granting Mr.
Wardell, of Birmingham, whatever sanction and assis-
tance you can on his mission, you will greatly
oblige, and not only that. but by this act help
to strengthen trades' unions generally; for at the present,
when trades' unions are so prominently before the public,
one union cannot suffer without affecting in some degree
the whole. I may state the trades' councils of Manches-
ter, Sheffield, Derby, and other places, are favourable to
our cause, and sympathetic meetings are being held. This
will have • moral influence that will do us an amount of
good in preventing the lock-out proposed by the masters.
Any assistance that you may have it in yam power to
give will be remembered by • grateful trade.—Yours,
PETER SHORROCER, Secretary Amalgamated Society of
Journeymen Tailors." A deputation from the tailors ex-
plained the circumstances in relation to the strike, and the
following resolution was passed :—" That the council
learns with regret that the employers of London have
withdrawn from their agreement to settle a time-log, for
the better regulation of the trade, by a conference of
masters and men ; or in the event of not agreeing, to refer
the matter in dispute to arbitration ; and that this coun-
cil consider the men are fully justified in the steps they
took to enforce the time-log after such treatment ; and
the council pledges itself to render them all the aid and
moral support in its power, and hereby grant them creden-
tials to apply for pecuniary support to trade societies of
Birmingham end district."
