NOTES ON TUB PAST WEEK'S RACING.

TO TIM 101T01 OF TUN 111P11/18.
B[l4—Ruing folks were determined not to loft
much by the °mention of beetilities during Passion Week,
for they " made up fur lost time beforehand," ea the Irish- I
men would say Holey occupying Monday, Creates Past
Tuesday and Wedneeday, Lpetrel Thars&y, and Windsor
Friday and Saturday.
At Daley there was nothing that called for okras
Tidiest beyond the greet itnproveutent apparent in the Dupe,
who won the Steingds' Plate from Huntington and Tom
Thumb so easily that his running at Derby Is set at nmOt.
There be received bib from Huntington, and multi get but
a bad fourth to him; and at Ilslq, while
with him at 131 b, he won with at lane 71b in
and I doubt if he Is not already as prod at the
mile ea Huntington, who also showed In improved form,
for he beat Toni Thumb by four lengths fur second place,
while receiving but lib from him; while at Lincoln be re-
ceived 121 b and could only beat him by half a kagtlx. The
Dupe might be found capable of etuying, although the
eeptoeemati say to the eontrery, and, in that case, he meet be
looked to in the Great Not theta Handicap. Greenwich fair
has not lost the form elle showed early in the spring, for the
516 penalty did not prevent her retesting the dose she gave
Archibald and Sister to Dusty Miller at Nottingham.
Crouton Pelt was very select, the "gentlemen" having
nearly all the fun to themselves. The Belvoir Cud., Stake*
wee looked upon as a center for Sir Cohn, and the public
laid odds on him ; but be did not favour them with &win, end
the only one they felt sure ho had safe wee the one to
no
r him—Glade Hawk. At Northampton, in the
Stakes, over the same distance of ground, there waits
very pretty race between Gnome di Vergy, St. Gilts, and
Sir Colin with 10th the best of the weights) till within 50
yards of the gos 4 when the former shot out, having boon
pulling double, and the latter instantly shot in, his jockey
thinking he would have been of little use to the renowned
"Jemmy," or I firmly believe he would have been what
is termed a "good second." TM he gave way,
Glede Hawk, who ran at level weights with hire,
was beaten off irk or eight lenas,holaving found
the pace toe good a quarter of a mile ; but at the
finish he runnaged to get within three Loathe of Sir Colin,
and according to that running 711 w. would not have brought
them together. But hem Sir Cohn had to give but 211.. to
Gksle Hawk, and his defeat must be put down among the
unaccountable occurrence,. of 1547. It is plain that
Ole& Hawk's party thought he had little chance,
for last week J Osborne himself was "up," while
Challoner wee indulged with the mount, and, clever as he is,
401 b dead weight would not be put on a horse " wanted,
unless jockeys were very soiree. I like the look of Sir Cohn
es &racehorse, and whet I went to show be that his running
up to the prevent time is not cornet, and if it is not conve-
nient fur him to win a neceJnot yet, he must be in reserve for
a gnat stnke,and hewill win one,perhape,when heat expected.
Ho lo now engaged in the Gnat Montreux end Chester Cup
Handl:ar, the Derby' end several other second eke.; stakes,
I shall not desert him this side of the Derby. The
Savoie Cestlo Stakes allied the pretensions of one who
had been a prominent favourite for the Metropolitan Handi-
cap at Epsom, Logic u'lluehiut pining to be not
within 71b of the winner. Ile had, however, been
previouely " settled " quietly at betas, Assayer having given
him 2811 n, I believe, and lost him. One of
the " dark" Derby candidates was also disposed of Hunt-
ing Horn making a most unsuccessful debit, end I hardly
think him worth training expenses for twelve months.
Taken altogether, what bee born done, and what is likely to
be done with the horses engaged in such a paltry stake? The
Delvoir Castle Stakes will o:ftess be thought of by a
groat many parties. The Granby Handicap showed
the Sluggard to be as good a horse on the fist as
over hurdles; and the " certainty" that the Cron-
ton l'ark Plato wee booked for Hospitality was upset
by the horse running as unkindly as he did after his ono
suecesaful appearance teat reason. The way Firmament
raced with the Prince of °metro for the cup showed that he
is anything but out of the Great Northern Handicap with
but fist 51h, says owner ought nerteinly to mud him to

the post far inch • valuable stake.
The victories of Flamm and Polly Teadrum (my sole
micticsas) fun their rem at Epeom, do sot require notice, end
the only events bearing an the fatare were the City end Su-
burban and Yetrepititan handimps, for which 1 cannot but
think thatiVietakee were undo by am or two clever
stables, in the two tierswere
St. (Aka, se, Dulcimer', and Madame re
prominent favourites for one or the other. Adams'
party wen the seem, for they attempted the double nest
with him, and were within an are of carrying it off. Enlace-
man, Madame Rickel, and Inhuman, however, were re-
amed for the second race, and the running of the two first
mentioned element that they would have come off better over
the Murder distance, for it was only during the lint mile diet
they were beaten, having been in front for the
first mild and • half. How such a mistake was
male with St. Giles and Dulcimer. I cannot my, am
the former proved him gluttony by besting a glutton at
Northampton, but wen only started for the erileaM a quarter
rue, and his companion reeerved for the longer distance,
where he had virtually 4113 none than in the City and
Suburban. Their plan should have been to start the two
for each race, m at least to have reversed their tactics, and it
mireht then have been anything bat • " turn-up" for the
bookmakers over the Metropolitan, sa St. Giles roust have
been in close company with Adams; if Le had not beaten
him. In my letter of Saturday lent I selected Fisherman,
Adams, and St. Giles, ma the best three that ran at North-
ampton for the Epsom event., and Adamas leas then a corn-
**l "outsider" in the market for both rum. On Weinm-
