THE LIVERPOOL RUNNING, WITH HUTS
FOR NOTTINGHAM MEETING.
• •

To Till IDITOK OF THE PATOIS&
Stit,—The running at Liverpool has caused affairs
to take • turn be both the events at Goodwood, and also for
the St. Leger. The very first race decided—the Croateth
Stakes—gave the partisans of Fiaherman, for both the Good-
weed lakes and (.up, gorse encouragement, as he gave Lord
Nara, at 201 b for the year, • very clover beefing ; but I
hardly know what elll think when they look
Ilard Nelaon's performance with Saunterer foe the
'Licensed Victuallers' Plate on Yriday, a Saunterer pee him
euctly the Issue weight as Fisherman, sad best him, so that
Saunterer, with 9st lib, would have easily am good a chance
las Fisherman in the Goodwood Cup, but could hare no pos-
. able hope of wMthng, as he would be giving homes of his
own year, and who have performed nearly as respectably,
I froze 201 b 361 b, and Uenimet di Vein would meet him on
20lb better terms than when he beat tuns by • heed in the
AaTot Cup. (Imlay, consequently, looks a lately thing for
!the Goodwood Cup, while &mot, ea bail better be inked
after in the Great Yorkshire Stakes, as he is not likely to
meet either Blink Bonny or Ignoramus; bkirmisher,Vi.lette,
Z nyder Zee, Oakball, Strathnaver, li)dney, and Adam's being
the most notable names I can find, that he might have to
contend with. The victory of Stalk Bonny for the Lanca-
shire Oaks gave her the decided call for tie St. Leger, and
se she did nut oppose Adams for the Liverpool St. Leger it
le only from her appearance that we can judge how much Leger,
has improved since she won the Oaks, end if there is any
difference, it is decidedly in her favour. Adames also looked
exceedingly well, and from present appesnincee the Sr..
Leger ut 1857 promises to eclipse all former conteeta on
that course, as regards the extreonlinsry quality of the
Grid. Bashi Besot* was backed for it both before and
sfMr his victory, and he i 3 one of the formidahlse among the
serond-eime divide', in which 1 should elms °Abell,
Sydney, lanaboorne, Chevalier d* Indiestrie, slut Commotion.
The 2-yr-old races were pretty well supported considering
the state of the ground just now, sail we had a magnificent-
looking 2-yr-old make its Eh* appearance in the Mersey
Stakes—Proud Preston Peg:, who peeved herself equal to the
winner, Sunbeam, although unprepued, and best Polly
PeecLum, who would not have beaten bet wally had she been
in the best of condition, which she was not, or she would I
never have allowed Terriesand Massacre to beat ht.r for tho
Stanley Stake. on Friday. Conductor best the winner
of the Mersey when they met for the Nursery,
hie stable not having backed for much monoy
et the post, although they sent a heavy tom-
miens to London before they knew what Sunbeam
Wen Wsilsed, end won money against their conscience. I

Eurydice has a i lb, and Maggie Lander 41b, penalty for the
Robin Hood Stakes, for 2-yr-olds, three quarters of a mile,
and the race might be between Night Ranger and Itorvoni
with the judge piecing thorn in the same order es 1 have d. tea.
The Castle Handicap, six fallow, is only a &W. plate,
and not worth, perhaps, the best horses among those entered
contending for, and not knowing one certain runner, I shall
bet it per, and also The Forest Plate on the sense grounds.
