Naw DRILL FUR THE LONDON SCOTTISH VOLUM-
TICEIDL—On Saturday a new and experimental drill of the
London Scottish, under command of Lord Elcbo, took
plaoe on Wimbledon•common, by which the complicated
movements of changes of front, change of think by officers,
&c.. are avoided, and the whole process of military evolu-
tions materially simplified. The practice was watched
with deep interest. It is understood that the commander.
in-chief intends being present at the inspection of the
London Scottish, and if satisfied of the simplicity and
equal value of the manceuvres with the present compli-
cated movements, it is expected that it will be introduced
throughout the whole of the services.—Obserrer. 11111

THE BATH MEETING ♦ND THE DERBY.

TO TIIII TIMOR 01 TEM =TIMM

8x ,—York and Doncaster, Winchester and Bahr
bury, have passed a without pressing sneakier flposalam,
Orion, or Paul Jones into the rank of Derby favourites ;
and henceforward we must rather anticipate that the num-
bits el great gaol will be tJdoned, the,. being most gloomy
forebodings abroad as to what the metallic men intend
doing with *Main " inatrumeata of gaming" at Bath.
Ever sines King Tons wee so mercilessly slaughtered on the
Lansdowne height@ the public have held " the week before
the battle" in dread, and often with good reason, for
this most dire mishaps have occurred within the
put three years. The Duke suddenly fell from
his high estate on the Thursday, in the Frenohmen's
year, whereby teas of thousands were irretrievably
lost ; whilst last season, on the Friday, The Rake was
driven from 5t02 to 1000 to 10 in "no time." Thee in-
cidents did not occur at Bath, it is true, being purely
the roman. of aceidents impossible to foresee ; still, the
Hermit had to retire Woes the heavy fire opened against
him there last May, with another winter favourite, the
ugly Dragon ; and certainly the sayings and doings of the
past few weeks are not encouraging to those interested in
the stability of Lady Elizabeth and her contemporaries. '
More than one reason has been assigned why the Pride of
Hampshire should not run, her withdrawal from the One
Thousand, coupled with the report& that she has
never done proper mile and a half work,
raising the suspicion that something was actually wrong
with the animal ; and then came the frightful news that
I the Ring could " stop " her, owing to the heavy default
her owner was in. Not that a defaulter for beta is pre-
vented running his horses at Epsom' as at Goodwood,
York, and Ascot; brit it was thought all the Lady Eliza-
beth bets were booked to the Marquis himself, and hence
that she would be as good am " stopped " by all these
being declared off, the only punishment it were possible to
inflict. However, " Vigilant " has put a very different I
complexion on the case, his recent startling explanation
giving the Lady's backers very little cause to fear, harder;
the case may bo for the Ring, for it turns cot nearly all
the money was got on by agents, whom the layers
can only recognise in the matter, of course. This
information came like • thunderclap on the uninitiated,
and has already created as great a sensation as the scratch-
ing of Lady Elizabeth would have done, the public haying
either hail nothing but vague allusions to a certain " diffi-
culty" placed before them previously, or being led to
believe the plucky one was being hard done by. Now the
cat is out of the'bag there is a probability of the Jockey
Club interfering to set matters straight, for it would never
do that such a scandal should be passed over by those
bound to stand up for the honour of the turf. It
is a strange story altogether; but what a telling
sequel to it is the minute paragraph in a
fashionable organ, to the effect that the hero has pur-
-1 chased a beautiful yacht, and will shortly proceed on a
cruise to Norway! Had the filly's innocent supporters
not been put right, there is no doubt she would have sprung
a point or two by this time, a faint notion being enter-
tained on Friday that she bad been struck out. It first
got wind at no other place than the Stock Exchange,
' • member of which was bold enough, when be got to
Wellington•street, to lay 3 to 1 against Lady Elizabeth
and another " coupled" four or five times, so that if she
had pegged out he would be laying 3 to 1 each against the
outsiders only. But the Earl appears by far the more
likely to succumb to the pen (a hen the pencil has
done with him), the price he has gone to again
being very ominous, no matter how superior to
him the Lady may be. Not only is Blue Gown, whom he
beat at Newmarket, at a third of his price, but we actu-
ally have Suffolk, beaten lengths away from the pair, in
front of him in the quotations too ; and there are deo
three " handicap horses " at half his odds for a " place."
It is scarcely to be doubted that he could have done the
same with the City and Suburban, Epsom Spring Cup, or
Choster Cup, as Speculum, Orion, or Paul Jones did ; and
what a fine chance Danbury would have on paper of
doing the Andover and Hermit trick again, were there
no obstacles to running the Etrl for the heavy
"1, 2, 3 " money that is to be got. Specu-
lum, the acknowledged king of the handicap triumvirate,
stands his ground pretty firmly in the market, albeit the
owner of Orion is confident he bolds him safe ; Paul Jones,
again, has been re-tried • better horse than the latter, who
beat him when he was unfit ; and then we have the quiet
possessor of linens chuckling over the prospect of beating
all such " form" as this—and Rosiorucoan likewise, unless
he comes to the post very fit, and can stay every yard of
the journey well. This son of Mysterymay possibly be
tried again before the week is out, parties still backing
Blue Gown and Green Sleeve as though they were doubt-
ful which is " the best," and we shall doubtless have
some other spins, the Torn Bowline colt having, on dit, to
be measured collaterally with Moslem, sad • long-
threatening " coming outsider," Tympanum, being
afforded the chance to go publicly through the mill
in the Bath Triennial to-morrow (Tuesday). It
Is not to be supposed the latter will have Speculum
against him; nevertheless St. Ronan may be deemed good
' enough to measure him with, and should the saint have to
succumb, the Van Amburgh performance of lest year, in
the Derby market, may be repeated. Herald Cock of the
Walk, Madrid, Innerdale, Plebus, Ritualist, Patrician,
and Demonstration represent the class of horses the pair
have to beat? and thus St. Ronan need not be • very great
' glutton to dispose of all but Tympanum over the mile and
' • half, albeit recent accounts from Newmarket are such as
warrant my giving the latter the preference, if he has
trained into halt the horse be promised to make last Mid-
dle Park Plate day. The only other event of the Bath
meeting that can possibly affect the Derby is
the Beaufort Cup, and this will have to bring
out the Earl or Speculum—not a very likely
supposition—to do so. It would not at all surprise me to
find the crack elder horses also among the missing when
the numbers are hoisted, both Achievement and Julius
having mach richer stakes at Ascot to wait for. There is
Oomera to represent the latter stable, and what is to beat
her in the absence of the St. Leger heroine, who has,
besides, to put up with a 101 b. penalty Vauban, Lecturer,
and Lord Lyon are quite hors de combat; Dalby and Good-
wood have done scarcely anything since Chester ; and
neither Knight of the Garter nor Friponnier may care for
'so long a journey; and the best of the remainder are
Franchise and Blinkhoolie. All trying, I should give
the 'preference to Julius, and place Achievement
second • but, in the absence of both, Comer& would
I only he'troubled by Blinkhoolie or Knight of the Garter.
As regards the other items in Tuesday's list, let me stand
Miss Foote or De Vera to win the Seventeenth Biennial,
the Parson or Goojerat the Bath Handicap, and Vet-
peal= (who has only 10st 31b), or Sister to Vedette the
County Members' Plate. On Wednesday there is a " fly"
race for the Badminton Stakes, in which Sister to Hermit
or Martyr, Salliet, Electricity, Liddington, Nike or Run-
away, and Athena comprise the best persormere. The
young ones have all the worst of the weights ; but Athena
goes so very fast, that she has only to show to be good
enough to represent me, despite her 121 b penalty. Tho
Sister to Hermit, Hilda, Do Vere, Martyr, Lure, and
Bsdsworth, with many boasting great private reputa-
tions, are in the Weston Stakes, and pending the
first day's running it would be as great a mistake to touch
upon this as the Welter or Dyrham Park Handicaps.
There is nothing left for me to discuss but the Somerset-
shire Stakes, invariably a failure, and none the less so now
with only 15 in, and not half 42111 number of stables re-
presented by them. Lord Westmorland's Thalia, Romp-
ing Girl, and Demon, with Proserpine, may be set down
as one only ; the Vedette gelding is in the Gomeni swim ,•
Lord Lyon, Cancun", and Puff are all considered out of
it, notwithstanding the latter did win his trial ; and what
Othello is worth it is hard to calculate. Only one of the
Findon four—perhaps Thalia—and Corners are formidable
of the above lot, and to meet the pair the best I can find
sire Vortigern and Ploughboy. The latter ran very badly
until he got his third place in the Great Northern last
Tuesday—no great feat to boast of, though this is such in-
ferior company for him to run in that he is almost bound
to get placed again, and perhaps there is only Comers to
keep him out of the first position.—l am, frm.
