of his patinas. The stable have gat on at • long figg,O,
not ca'calating the many times be was quoted at 20 to 1 last
summer. He won his only raes so easily that be gives pro-
miee, when fully prepared, of proving a winner very often
over a level courses, each as York and Doncaster, when his
long stride will be a grunt help to him. The Darby Course
is avowed by his enemies to be just such a one u to break s
horse of his make down; Mat they will act like their position
if he c in only get safe round the Corner, as be will be ore of
the advanced gourd at the finish to a certainty. His owner
wont(' be proud to carry off the trophy; and it is rather a
strange circumstance that be his never wcn saber the
Derby or St. Leger, notwithstanding the numerous first-
use heroes he h u been in possession of, and he has only
boss seeeeeeful once far the Two Thousand Guineas (Fano.
lett* being the first wiener ender his name), and once for
the Oa►s.

died away, very little money gulag on him at any plies
over 20 to 1. Ilia owner detoimining to tend WS to Ast.t,
when his wincing was booked a certainty, there was a
regular " Butler rush " by bit stable to get oa at even that
figure, and when he was men at Ascot 15 to 1 was the
highest offer before he woo; while atterwer is, he having I
beaten Bird in-Head, Yolmoedie (lotth of them in prime I
MU* filer). sully, the odds were reduced to 10 to 1
(in the heat of the moment 8 to,l was tnkeo), that price
being taken greedily. He had not held that position, how
ever, many weeks before he was bowled over by Mary Copp
and Polmoodie at Goodwood, after 6 to 4 was laid on him,
and he was driven back to 20 to 1, bat Roe out of the
market, as be was oily beaten as soma' of the ground
bong too sticky for his peculiar tut*. All this while, it
most be borne in mind, Fan .letto had beta vesy quietly
