TO THE EDITOR Or THE imparts.

Stlt—Faveuriten, backern, and prophota were
nearly all floored by the result of the last great event—
Tarring the Liverpool Autumn Cup—of the season, the
Csmbnelgeshire ; and it is but • poor consolation for the
urfertunates that they were beaten more by the glorious
unceztainty " of the turf than their bad judgment. All
previous running was turned topey-turvey when See-saw
ran home the gallant conqueror of Blue Gown, Mercury,
Restitution, fishtail, Warrington, and Cecil, every one of
whom had him "safe" on the strength of more than one
recent contest. They all beat him for speed in the
Cesarewitch, with the exception of Mercury, and he fairly
dispoeed of his brother blue jacket in the Doncaster St.
Leger, when they were running at even weights; so did
Restitution in the Newmarket St. Leger almost at their
Cambridgeshire imposts; and had not See Saw run away
as be did with the October Handicap, ft might weU be
laid that yesterday afternoon*s race was all a mistake.
But there was no shutting one's eyes to the large amount
of money See Saw was backed for, and when his jockey
could make so bold as to 'sad a communion into the ring
to back his mount to win a thoeteid pounds, we might
well expect that he would upset all the bed form
he bad previously shown. It is this that partially
overthrows the argument about Modem, being
a " certainty " had he started, simply because he
wee before See Saw in the Grand Duke Michael,
and we must accept it as right and proper that the
"strong" party backing the Cambridgeshire winner for
so much money fairly deserve their good fortune. Any-
how, the Sat cannot be altered, and there is no more to be
surprised at in the triumph of See Saw than the disgrace
of Restitution, who ran just as Baron Rothschild's homes
invariabl do when they are fancied. Some excuse can be
advan for Cecil in the fact of his comprising one of
the batch in the lower ground that got very badly off
indeed, Woke; being another in the same boat. The best
tiff wets those en the right hand, or " top side," and who
supplied the first three. See Saw and Blue Gown never fairly
ruining lack to their horses, great as was the pace, so that
they west be "clipping" 3-yr-olds indeed. It is needless,
however, to repeat hero the story of the race, and I can
lily observe that the Deneburynes managed toguU the pub-
hc again with their Lady Raglan—industriously put about
as better than Cock of the Walk at oven weights ; but the
very first beaten. She and Restitution wore clearly out
rN the bunt after going a quarter of a mile, and two bun-
dled yards from home It looked like Blue Gown accomplish-
ing tae "impossible" feat of winning with 9st ; but the
12.1 s was too much to give away to See Saw, who is pro-
bably within 7lb of the Derby winner, and vindicates the
judgment of John Day before he lost him, as he main-
tained seine fifteen months ago that he was the best 2-
year-old he had, not excepting Lady Elizabeth.
The minor events that were decided do not require •
moment's consideration, and turning to the future, -1 have
to deal with three very important matter,. in 'Thursday's
hit. These are the Troy Stakes, the Nursery, and the
Free Handicap, in the latter of which we have Blue Gown
and Mercury to fight their battle o'er again, at weights
oily a pound against the Gown, who, consequently should
brat the blue jacket again, and has most to fear from
Melts met and lock of the Walk.

Miss Peeldie colt. It will not be necessary for me to
communicate with your readers again this week. as there
are only two sweepstakes and four matches in the pro•

must be given to Clairon, Robespierre, The Palmer,
