THE WARWICK AND DERBY MEETINGS.

TO TIM EDITOR or FRS EXTREMA.
Slit,—Nothing transpired at Stockton to upset
the York running of either the two or three-year-olds,
neither was any further light thrown upon the Doncaster
St. Leger, and the past week's doings call for no comment.
Thus my labours are comparatively light, ea the 'fourteen
e•niplute events in the Warwick and Derby programmes
are not all io a condition for em to subs. them, no
fewer than nine out of the lot being handicap., with 'leve-
ret hones engaged in time or four, so that after the era
iley's proceedings at Warwick those loft to to decided may
:mutme quite a different complexion to that they wear
now. The handicapper at Warwick has been anything
but complimented by the acceptance for the Lea-
mington Stakes, as more than two-thirds of the
lot entered esteem themselves diratisthsl. However, as
the weights fur the Ceetrewitch and Cambridgeshire will
make their appeuraoce so soon ea the wenn:, is ceueluded,
there u some excuse. and the race looks open enough for me
to anticipate a fair field contesting the rich prise. Master
Begot, aged, Met 131 b, declared forfeit on Saturday ; sod the
perfortithees since the weights were published of Prince of
Denmark, 6 yrs, Net 41h ; Emblem, 5 yrs, Hat 4th; Yorkshire
Grey, ailed. int 1311, ; the Prophet, 4 yrs, 7st Sib ; Brownie,
3 yea, 7at 11b ; and Tulip, 3 pa, list 91b, do not my much for
their pretension., which leaves but sixteen hut sea &pea-
reedy "iu the race." Ot theme W. Day's stable contemn
Defender, S yes, Sat 13111 ; Schism, 5 yrs, Net 71b ; and
Romulus, 3 yrs, let 121 b. • T. Cliff's, Petra, 5 yrs, 7st 101 b ;
and Zodiac, 3yra, 74. ; Flirtation, 3 yrs, :st rilb ;
and Jingling Jobuny, 3 yes, 7st ' • al/41MA of this lot
It must teat be anticipated more than (our will reach the
post, the remaining lien comprising Oxfordt 4 yrs, itee
1110 ; Newatoad, ia yrs, 7st tub ; Pitman, 4 yrs, Tot 10th
Artless, 5 yrs, 7st 10lb ; Barou Munchauen, 4 yea, 7st Nib ;
Shipwreck, 3 yea, list Illb ; Knightsbridge, 3 yra, list 91b ;
and Calabria, 3 yrs, list 41b. The staying of Oxford or
Beres Muschauseu is very doubtful, and to oppose the beet
of W. Day's formidable trio 1 can only perceive that
Jingling Johnny, Newstead, Artless, .nil Cliff's pair poems
nay pretensions. Homelike was claimed by W. Day in a
I Selling Plate tor MAW. last autumn, and his only appearance
sauce war for the Longleat Ilandimp at Salisbury, which he
won by a head from Lady Chesterfield, giving her a stone, old
Tame Deer being close up at about racing weights. This
parfOrIIIALICe was Ip.t a very grand one ; but cousidering
the home bad received no preparation, it we. good enough
to give Lim a peat chance here at the weight ; and if the
stableman find anything better to represent them, they wi'l
be well worth folios ing. Artless and Newstead air. how-
ever, giving the youngsters but very little weight for the
year, and the mare ia especially so " well in, that my
preference must be for her ever all coniere, if enough money
its be got on to satisfy her owner. The Shorts Handicap,
five furlongs, is so well made that half the thirty subs.
should face the starter, Tiara, 6 yrs, Net, Juliet, 5 yrs,
7st 316, and Donetuter, 4 yrs, Est 121 b, comprising those
most worthy of centideam from among the old 'um, while
of the 3.yr•ulds Antwerp, 3 yrs, list 71b, and Jackal,
3 yrs, list 31b, are not to be despised, my strongest
fancy being for Doncaster, if he can get beck from Baden-
Baden in time. Mr. Naylar ought to be the recipient of the
Caine Slakes, fur two year olds, Rix furlongs, with the
assistance of one of his trio, especially should it be °sa-
tinets, but the winner of the Avon Stakes having to be
sold fur 50f., it is dangerous to meddle with that event until
the metallic/ have been at work. The Shorts will seriously
hideosity the County Halide:2p, one mile (second day), as
will also the Leamington Stakes, and yet it will be a diffi-
cult matter for anything to turn up that is better looking
"on paper " than Mr. Barber's pair, Coronet, 4-yrs,
7st, and Doncaster, 4-yrs, net 121 b, next to which
Prince Plausible, 3-yrs, let 10Ib, takes my fancy,
as he ma not diagram! when Will-o'-the•Wisp
beat him at Brighton. Godding has charge of three
tof the nine acceptingfor the Welter Cup,one mile,
oat
'
Captain Little a Mount will be worth &wading, eveu
should it be the moderato Priem Imperial, who is nearly
u " well in" as General Hem. The Sweepstakes for two
and ;Lie. earolds will just suit Heoper ; and he way not
be up Ly the dangerous Oentralok,ie, who is tempted
with int. 916. to the N unary Handicap, eame distance, for
twolitirolds, wherein the Cutler, list. I Ilb , is literally
I turned loose, and met distinguish himself unless Kane,
7st. tilb., does the honour ter the stable. The Warwick
Cup, three miles, *ill scarcely bring to the poet a couple
of the cracks entered, sad the evert eating Lawyer, 3 years,
fist., ought to prefer this to the rue at Bsden-Baden,
I where his defeat ie almost a certainty, while
giving so much weight away. There is no-
thing likely to start that is capable of trou-
bling the " half-bred," and the near approach of the
Doncaster Cup is all I fear as likely to ke, p him at home.
At Derby Master Fenton has an easy task before him in the
Harrington Plate, Godding's stable being again formidable
in the :Colliery Handicap with Kate. Get. 121 b., me of
whose most dangerous emendate leoloa, Get. lull,. : but the
utter events ought certainly le be bit aloes until after
