8111.,—The Messrs. Weatherby had to make up
a heavy calendar on Thursday last, so numerous were the
nominations for the Sussex handicaps end the Derby,
Oaks, and St. Leger. As might naturally be supposed, the
Duke of Hamilton, tho Marquis of Hastings, and Mr.
Chaplin are the best supporters of the great three-year-old
Makes, though the " new member," Mr. P. Hobson, is
down for ten subscriptions. Among
the latter gentleman's
lot is the brother to Ostreger, a prim Captain Machell let
him have for 1,000 profit on the 1,500 guineas he gave for
him at Middle-park last Saturday week, and it would be
ungenerous not to wash such a " plucky speculator " luck
with his bargain. Many breeders whew yearlings have yet
to be sold swell the hits, of course, nearly all Mr. J.
Jackson's "wag stock being entered, but in the name of
" Mr. Fredit. John Jackson," understood to mean his son,
a young gentleman of the greenest hue, for he has not seen
above half • dozen summers. Sono of Mr. J.'s " friends"
are endeavouring to make out that the entries are invalid,
tinier an assumed name as quoted above has been duly
registered at Means. Weatherby's, on the grounds that
Master F. J. J. is • minor, but what difference there is
between a minor of six all another of twenty tbe bean.
Uful laws of racing do not exactly define, and it makes one
shudder to think of the " row" there will be if any era
dispute should arise as to the validity of the nomination.
They help considerably to swell the high numbers attained,
and the 276 entries in the Derby were only exceeded once,
for the lucky. Lord Lyon's year—so many, however, be-
came void during the two years that elapsed before his
race was run, that at last there were but 274 subscriptions
to be paid. From all appearances no one need yet fear a
decline in the Turf's prosperity, a convincing proof of
which we have every week, so many meetings being held
day after day. lost week there were no fewer than four
that were wall patronised, albeit the proceedings
pomessed little more than a passing interest, the
best class animals out being the juveniles and

raters now, whatever the two first-named may eventually
tarn out. They were hut a so-so lot in the Liverpool Cup,
and the clever Challenge party, after waiting most
patiently to get a moderate home into his proper company,
brought off their coup, but by a very narrow " squeak."
Things were not so pleasant for bickers in some of the
other races at Liverpool, the overthrow of Tumbler by
Frost, of Bracken by Verulam, and finally of Wroughton
'by • whitens common-plater like Feeder, being results as
dilheult to understand as the ups and downs in the Good-
wood Stakes market. Certain " riggers " have managed
things so well over this latter event that nearly all the
thirty-one acceptors have been backed, at least twenty
having seen 20 to 1 each in their turn ; and unless the
current week's results help them, the knowing ones may
be troubled up to the last to find a certainty. Many
of the candidates are engaged at Nottingham and Stam-
ford, Rams. Roquefort, Aggravator, Vice, Tremble, end
Primrose being in the principal handicap, one mile
and three quarters ; but there is a wide difference in the
way they are handicapped and Rama and Tremble ought
certainly toshow on Tuesday next, in preference to wait-
ing for the more important affairs, as the others might do.
Tremble (better known as the Flutter colt) is in the same
interest as Bradamante, who should retire in his favour
when having to give him 361 b., and if to, I cannot perceive
what is to beat him, Glendale and The Peer bg the
most dangerous-looking of his opponents. The Peer is
also in the mile Bridget° Handicap, but receiving only
131 b. from Lord Ronald who ought to. win, Sweet Anne
or Maid Marian in the Geonty Members', end Mrs. Strat-
ton or one of Mr. Pryer's 112 the Stand Plate, being the

done the bed since, and should win the Robin Hood

Stakes on tbeHroond day to look after, the probability
being that Ottratton will leave it to her ; and there is else

• turned being the " cracks" of the light weights, so far as
performances go, though Bessie Dixon and one or two
others may run into form some day. Cuckoo will have
enough to do to attend to the two limb just named, and
she should leave the Brumley-peek and Donnington Stakes
to her 'superiors, Veda being in both of these, and re-
caving weight from her. But even she may not be able
• to win either prize, the company being so good, wit Orion
(Mb extra) to tackle her in one instance and a clipper
like Bismarck in the two and three year idd spin, wherein
there are likewise Bounceway, Vex, Charuwood, and Bal-
sams to try her mettle ; and Mr. Beadsman and Captain
Hawkaley aertably look more like taking the honours
away home than Mr ;Chaplin. The great event should alined
settle where the Chesterfield Handicap is to go, and the
Forest Plate will be in a nutshell when the first day's barb
wee is over.
Nothing can possibly mar the success of the meeting at
Stamford, though it does follow on to Nottingham ;
and it happens there is • lot of fresh blood in the
Burghley Handicap, two miles and a quarter, which will
be worth at least 600,. John Davis, Regalia, Bemiring,
Knight of the Crescent, Bradamante or Pintail, Retrousse,
Dummy, and Dr. Syntax or Lizard, should run, if the
lame Archimedes 01131001, sad Challenge's penalty stops

Lvov v. HAalow.-The weather, susfortorsetoly for the suc-
cessful preene.s of this interestin td exciting match. as well as
of other open air exhibition', underwent an unfavourable change
on intenlay moaning. At about half-past 5 o'clock a fine rain
began to fall in the metropells, and continued flaggingly for an
boor or two, when there were indications of AO improvement,
which induced a large mamba of spectators again to flock to

afternoon this oumher wastradually seemented *between 8000,

There were *manna' gleams of sunshine, and then the ovne
was very brilliant. The call hell rang oboist 11 o'clock, and the
mound was cleared, the umpires and a portion of the " field "
took their places, but a renewal of therein again dispersed them.
However, in *boot &quarter of an hour there wet a cessation,
and a general clapping of hands welcomed the appearance of
the Morrow Boys In their !respective places, and of Hay and
Ottaway at the wicket.. The bowing was again entrusted
to Graham and Fryer. The first noteworthy event was
a bit by Ottawa for 4, which evoked such a cheer
from treble vole* as to leave no doubt that a strung
renforcement of • juniors from both Eton and Harrow
hod availed themselves of the customary whole holiday to wit-
nee. the play. The Deanna ran some marvellonaly Mort runs,
and the Barrow fielding was by no means smart. That both
executanta meant run-getting was evinced by the fact that 23
non were hooked in the first 111 minute. Both youths timed their
hitting admirably, as shown by several late cuts. With the
Icon at 25 Money went on with the slows, and began with a
couple of maidens :he then got hit comddembly by both, and
both were else well •' down upon the shooter.' When Se were

free was the hitting of Hay, and so perfect the defence of Otta-
way, that In three-quarters of an hour 50 were announced,
anikktthe loud cheers of the light blue division. The slows
proved an unprofitable investment, so Money gave way to

as ball batmen continued to hit very finely, inspirer every

Goms but it did not come off. Thee/leen* was loud and almost

luus's next over, Hay in hitting to fig mounted a ball which fell
into the hands of Walsh at square le& after having pot toge-
ther 42 by very minted hitting, combined with patient de-
fence. Hays hits wore seven threes and six two.-
2 for 71. Of coarse general cheering followed, and it was
well merited, Hay's innings occupied an hour and a quarter.
Thornton was Ottawa's next vist-vise and was at once busy,
soon booking a leash of threes, then ha" skied" one toles, which
Templer misjudged, running all round the ball, but failing to
secure it. phortly after Graham put down a shooter, which
beat the Eton wicket-keeper, for a fine defensive innings of 32,
manipulated with estrum care and judgment: his hitslncluded
one four, four threes, and four twos, and occupied exactly one hour
ands.half-3 for W. Alexander joined Thornton, and the run-
getting continued ; the former hit a ball on to the too of a car-
riage, near the " ladles' corner," at which the light blues
cheered lustUy. The light now became very bad, resembling a
November morning. At 116 law tried to separate the batsmen
at Pelham's end, but It was all one tote Etonian'. Penn was now
tried, and then Ileolow for Low, but the hitting sou fierce and de-
termined-indeed the Harrow bowling wsaln a" complete knot."

The vacancy was filled by Tritton, and the score advanced to 157,

overs being bowled for II runs. At about 2.15 the fog cleared
