wpm of the programme is not very tempting to those who
"do" the great meetings for the moyment of racing alone;
es Sr the nineteen closed events we cannot but expect walks
over and mother to be in the majority ; and the
done private matches will not all produce contests.
The thirteen unclosed items are likely to be productive of

parison with the Column Stakes, Sale Staked, Claret Slake.,
Ike., and the Craven Plate of 30 move. may do more towards
the Chester Cup then any other Greet of the meeting. This
sad the Match between Pavilion sod Beacon, at
=rtelghte, on the Rowley Mils, will prove the only in-
tweeting events in the first day's out. The Newmarket
Handicap will be affected by the third trial of the feather
plate celebrities, both being engaged thee* at even weights.
It will be a new thing between them at the mile; but Beacon
showed so well for that distance In his last four encounters
that be looks most worthy of support. In the other matches,
Gallus, 3 pre, fat 31b, may beat Leontes, 4 yrs, net 101 b, on
the fret half of the Ab. X and Fits-Roland must forfeit to
the Brothto Bird-on-thl-Wing. Leff has only to live a
few hours longer to mein the 100 eon. for felt from Pendant

Bwnington Stakes, D,M., the MO sore Sweepstakes,

for Bastion, Aeneas, sad ILM-MeArnot.
Tuesday's card will be will filled, for the three most in-
teresting waste of the week will come off that day, the First
Biennial Stakes, for three year olds, Rowley Mile, being

Guy Fawkes SW Horoallit, Minks, Rainbow (doubtful),
!ferryman, ittockham, Craton, Defender, and Cynricus may
be set down as at least "probable" starters. The short
dismiss is net exactly suited to Merryman, in the opinion of
his own party, end did Rainbow enter opposition I should
have no Mbaa In 'whims

most lA* to give way. Merryman would Ma have most
cam to Few Scent, Guy Fawkes, sad Crake's, and I should
look oat fee the lot to be placed pretty nearly in the order
named. The Sale Stakes, for three year olds, A. F., will
prove whether there la any caws for the opposition
that has set in against Volcano, as if he does not show,
with his 911) allowance, considerable suspicion will
attach to him, and should he be pulled eat and

rite; In fact, did he meet The Lord of the blamer on equal
terms, I should be prepared for hie defeat; but 91b is a lot of
weight to receive, and Volcano need not Do a first-rater to
pull through with wish an advantege. A 1001. Bweertakes

course to any of its predecease's, es the ootopetitoto begin at

Beacon or Caro Come, the dilemma being about

the /Wing Handicaps already decided, and about 16 Marten
