after quotations for some time to come. Of gossip there
• plenty abroad, and not a few canards lave been
set tying whereby sporting anthoritise are enabled
to do the " We are requested to state " badness in the
most entertaining style. Much has been made of the
death of The Brewer, who would have gone off in half
• dorm words had he received his fatal bullet during the
TRAM season; but the "rumoured retirement of cer-
tain great of the national pastime has been too
flatly contradicted, or is so little believed in, that no
long-winded leading artists were written on the subject.
The two standing dishes again, Day versus Roue and
Mudd versus the Epsom shareholders. have got alined
mad, no important move being made on either side lately.
It ie announced there is still a chance of the first-named
cause coming on this term, though there are many old
bands who think that just when the Sag is up a forfeit
will be declared; and those quaking for the Derby are
further frightened by, reading that two of the stewards
have consented to inspect the new Epsom course,
to judge whether the spring meeting may be
advertised to take place upon it. Still, there is
nothing said to controvert the statement made
a fortnight ego, that the aforesaid stewards (who
are the stewards of the Jockey Club) would compel the
Grand Stand Committee to keep faith with owners of
horses, and run the Derby and Oaks of '69 and '7O as
advertised. Admiral Ronsis the most active of the turf
magnates looking after the interests of the Derby, and
has had his hands pretty full lately, bat could find time
be think over the looseness of the racing role that brought
about the Bel Choral) wrangle. and which is to be sim-
plified at the next meeting of the club.
This week will not be so dull, some important sales
of blood stock taking place at T 's this
afternoon that the world will take no little in-
terest in. lady Elizabeth comes genuinely ender
the hammer, with another of the celebrities
of the pad Derby—Orion ; and accompanying them in the
sale lid we have two of the next Blue Riband candidates
whew reputation stand, or once stood, rather high. These
are Agrippa and Lads, the owner of the latter sending
op Moldavia likewise. and ail his other hoses; and if the
eon of Larnbton has only remained sound, the competition
for him will be very warm, conedmng he won all his
three races, and like a racehorse too. ILe way he gave
12Th to Dryad at Stockton-on-Tees makes him read better
than Thorwaldsen, who conceded the unlucky filly only
half the weight at the tame meeting, and did not boat
her one whit more easily. However, I shall enter
into the two-year-old form in detail presently, and
12 the meantime mind refer my readers to
their turf guides for whatever information they
may require about certain horses. The compilers of
theta guides '• deserve every credit for the promptitude
with which they have done their work. In lees than a
week after the tsroydon Meeting was concluded, Wright
came out with the proceedings duly reported, and the
horses indioed. and the cockneys anxiously looking for-
ward to their next merry meeting could dive at once into
the yerformanees of the respective pets in the Metropolitan
Grand ramie Chases and Hurdle Races, held at K
bury on Tuesday and Wednesday. To the dozen events
originally in the programme seven more hare been
tallied on, to be decided on Thursday; and notwith-
standing they are instituted by a private club,
▪we well-known horses are in the races already
made up. Tuesdays seven prizes have eluted
the entries for those of any importance being
so numerous that it is extremely hazardous to make any
" selections," tempting as are Lizzie flexham in the Hurdle
Race, with Malvern in the Maiden Steeplechase and
Uzendon Plate, Wild Huntanan in the same two races,
and Royal Irish Fuailier in the Plate. The Huntsman is
also nicely in the Kingsbury Cup, as are also 1.1. C. and
Benaset. who might prefer the two mile, and a half
journey to the three miles for the Metropolitan Headl-
amp. wherein there are many old and expenenced jumpers.
Benazet and The Lamb head the list here, and justly so,
after the retreat of Pearl Diver, for we have seen the old
one in great form lately, and The Lamb showed himself
about • the same hone " as Mr. Brayley's in the
lest Grand National. The Nun is another dar-
ks neeplechaser, and both at Birmingham and
Derby, iz:Lebnotry, showed herself fully capable of run-
ning BP t and Greenland at the weights they are all
three in at. She fell in the great Aintree contest, or Mr.
Upham would not have made her give 21b. to Aicibiades,
who was third, albeit she betrayed a decided improvement
at the more recent Liverpool meeting when cantering
away from Pensioner and Globule. Her double defeat at
Croydon took some of the gilt off this, and got some
weight off her back too, the handicapper actually making
Globule concede 31b. more than in the Grand Settee
Chase, wherein he started at 6 to 4 and ran nowhere.
Having only run his match with the pony at Croydon
nonce, Globule looks really ill-used, but is withal
left in in preference to Brick, who had only 41b. more
to carry than he ran second to Steamboat with.
Mr. Topham evidently declines to believe in a great many
Wogs that are done before his eyes, for he made Tally-ho
give 101 b. to Pensioner, although they ran at exactly the
same weights at Lincoln, when fortune !avowed Pen-
Weser, who is allowed 111 b. for the four lengths that were
between him and The Nun at Liverpool. Greenland ran
well at Croydon, hut not so well as Polestar, who proved a
geed berth in all his Irish engagements last season, and
may be a " real good thing " if they only back him. The
Plover ran very badly all last season. end should he re-
sign in favour of his stable companion, Pensioner, there
will only be another "1' " in the race. My idea is that
se of the two might prove " the right pea," and with
the money on it will not be bad business to plump for
Pensioner.

On the eve of the race I shall have a few more words
to say uJou the subject, and the opportunity might also
present it elf for me to give one or two u►eful hints con•
eerning the dub day's events.—l am, &c., METEOIL
