another opportunity of noticing these. Altogether
31 items (including two matches) will hare to be
got through somehow during the four day. commencing on
Tuesday, there being handicaps., weight for ego noes, and
two aad three year old rams to be decided rib day, and
twenty of them bare already doeed most of them having
been before the public for some months. By this time, con-
sequently, they have been pretty well digested, and I shall
give the orclusions I have arrived at, with my remits fur
eo doing, with reference to the first day'e sport.
The two-year old event. fixed for the first day are the
Champage, the Filly, and the Glasgow Stake.. all ran on the
name mouse, the " Red-hour in: The Filly Stakes has
16 subs at 34.1 son. each, 20 ft, and the best form out is that
of Hydrontel, who woe the Creterfidd at Newmarket as the
Beeswax filly. T. Dawson'. stable will send a formidable
caadidate ia the Ellerciales dam filly or Terrific; but the
slashing Hydro :eel appeared to me at Newmarket too much
for animal, of their cal4re.
The Creepier is • more important item, and will be
worth some 1,000 son., there being 31 one, at SO son. each,

' the running of Brother to Mary Copp, Cock-a-doodle-doo,
the Girls 0011, Terrific, Arlie, Whitewall, Plodder, Green-
finch, Iterate, llepeties, Coxwold, and Ancient Briton, will
not heereraparison with that of the Sister to Ellington and
Lord
if= who should hold them quite safe. But there
y so many animals reserved for this
rnenrable stake that we must not be too confident of
a "dark," and oonanoiently fresh candidate being eerie to
awe the beet of the pur. Now, the moat talked of of this
"dirk" division an Syllabus Eclipse, Dumfries, Knight
of Knee, Murillo, Volta, Cannel, and Brother to Mer-
men Ler ; sod it is always difficult to make a selection from
end a elem. But lam so strongly persuaded of the supe-
riority of Mr. Howard's Eclipse as a racerne, that I raft
ver are to follow him fur this event, a he most have done
something uncommonly good with Sedbury or Clydesdale for
the Prdinaltes to be ea confident. When the money corer

to travel comfortable to " Glasgow " I shall trust these twe
to beat all the remainder, r the accounts I hear conniving

the same course aa all the above eventa, and may afford an
intenetne struggle, only a small proportion of the
'cracks engaged pat in an appearree. It is a weight for
