that Rufus has not been exercised for the last moor three days,
which may perhaps account for the fluctuations.

her sire, half.eistee to Theodore, winner of the St. Leger in 1823;
and Augusta and Zinc, winners of the Oaks. In her first race she
beat Attica and 'Walts, in a common canter ; everybody exclaim.

taken. Some cunning Isaacs, however, found out, after the
race, that she was lame, and betted 18 to I against her but,
lame as they made ha, she beat Bolero and Advance. Bolero was
third for the 2000, and beat sin the Newmarket Stakes. Advance
has since beat five in a Sweepstakes. For winning her two races in
half an hour they bet 5 to 2 against Aline. We cannot draw acorn.
parison between the performance of this inert and Rufus. as out et
all the horses he has beat, which amount to a great number, there
is only one winner, viz. Surprise, who beat Nectar. Looking there-

the Oaks (say 6 or 7), and the largeners of the field for the Derby

we should any that the odds ought to be thus-5 to 2 against Rufus,
and sto 4 against Aline. If the race between Tontine and Lionel

hearing in mind Lionel's bad running since, her chance cannot be
R very good one she -is really as great a favourite as Aline.
Pastime is such an extraordinarily goodfine, it seems, that the New.
market Stakes are beneath her notice; if she starts she is quite ter.
tain to win, but being in the St. Leger it is probable she may cot
appear before September . Pipylins was beat very easy last fall by
Bravura, and we think Attics es ran All of flesh. If the Steel!: go
on taking Muleteer in all the double bets, which has been the case
since Friday's running, he will be the first favourite for the Derby
on the day, as the betting people must hedge to the fin t event hilute
