LATEST SPORTING INTELLIGENCE

THE ONE THOUSAND GUINEAS AND
NEWMARKET STAKES.

TO TO NIOTOR OF TII3 IMPOZOIL

has the Two Thousand Guineas
Stakes been carried off by an animal who was tacked what
is tossed • "safe 'on ' , in all welLinfoneed circles ; tad
the talents made one of the greatest blunders possible,
Diophantits, although he looked fit and well, starting at the
extreme outside pnce of Z 5 to 1, after " beads " of money
had been laid apuest Mm at a third of these odds. lin a
menus prepared your readers for the astounding enspriee,
in my remarks on the race, but was, of course, bound to
prefer an animal that had the confidence of his party.
Kettledrum was very badly ridden, which caused him to
meet with • anions disappointment in the race ; but, in my
opinion, nothing could have beaten Thophantus, and Lord
Stamford will bake • deal of beating in the Derby, for
lmans looked very formidable until ha stable companies
came out, and there is another good hone in the team,
called Neighbour.
The contest for the One Thousand Guineas Stakes for
3-yrold fillies will be • close one, as very little light is
thrown upon it by Tuesday's race. There is a probability
of seeing at the post the following :
The Roe
Paste Nativity
Bas BMa
Fairoator Sweet Hawthorn
Flutter filly lady Leeds
Preeeptiren =al the Vale
Vega Dodoes
Rumours ere rife of both Mows Dachas sad Pannier
being "off," and if Ruck is the gift the affair will take
some &strong, as Precaptrees sad Sweet Hawthorn per-
formed too indifferently in the Two Thousand to he very
formidable, which will leave the ism to The Roe end Lady
Louis and I like the look of The Rs inlieleatly well to
think she will be about winning, for she will have improved
considerably since last meeting. The Two Tan Old Plate,
fin furlongs, will suit Duke Rolla le • *sty and as he
conies no penalty it should net le a dash; matter for
him to win, alai:silk Wiwi's., who wee osly third to
