THE CLEMENTINA COLT AND THE ST:
LEGER.
Despite the pending disqualification the Clementlnk
colt is still backed for the St. Leger. Lord Clifden, it
is said, is determined to prove his right to start the ani •
mal and try the question if need be in a court of law.
Surely, however, motives of delicacy and a consideration
of the wounded feelings of a noble family will deter his
lordship from taking no ill-advised proceedings. That
the horse will not be permitted to fulfil any engagement
for which he is nominated by Mr. F. Villiers is in my
opinion beyond dispute. The turf authorities who have
hitherto acted in'the matterbave behaved with fairness and
an independence which is entitled to respect. The entire
question is thus most clearly and fairly stated by Ad-
miral Rolls, who objected on the part of the Duke of
Bedford to the Clementina colt's running at York :
" Having seen a circular letter written by Lord Clifden,
and addressed to you (the Stewards of York Races) stat-
ing that the Duke of Richmond and Admiral bus had
decided against the Clementina colt starting for his en-
gagements at Goodwood, without calling witnesses to sub-
stantiate facts, I beg leave to state that, as was beyond
dispute, that the Clementina colt was under the joint care,
the joint management, or the joint superintendence of Mr.
F. Villiers, who did not meet his Epsom engagements, and
who is a notorious Levanter. It is an ip,xiom in racing
that the nominator of a horse is solely responsible—if he
dies or in default stakes the horse cannot start, or it is no
matter to whom the said horse belongs. The rules of

fore, on the part of the Duke of Bedford, who has horses
engaged against the Clementina colt, to this horse starting
for his engagements at York on the grounds above stated.
Furthermore, I call upon Lord Clifden to prove the
alive,mini-
and to ring ins into court, as the York
rule distinctly states that the stewards shall call upon the
nominator to produce satisfactory testimony, &c. And
again, if the nominator shall fait to produce such satisfac-
tory testimony, then the stewards shall cause the nomina-
tion to be erased."

[PRICE 4D. STAMPED SD•

2d Life Guards, the serjeants of both regiments were to
dine together last evening at the Town-hall, by perm's-
sion of the Mayor, when the band of the 94th was to be
in attendance. It is expected that the Bucks Militia
will again be called to do duty at the Castle.

The objection, which is put with so much force and '
fairness, and which was entertained at both Goodwood
and York, will unquestionably be pursued with similar
effect at Doncaster. Not only on public but on private
grounds Lord Clifden should stir no further in this mat-
ter, especially as the only object which he can attain is
the giving of increased pain to a noble family by the
parading and disclosure of disgraceful circumstances.

The EGRA MEETING will take place to-morrow, and
is likely to be attended by a large majority of metropoli-
tan turfites. The racing on Runnymede will, however,
be somewhat barren of interest, whilst the fields will bs
numerically insignificant. The King John Stakes has
ten nominations. Should Wandering Willie start I
shall, despite his penalty, place faith in his ability to
pull through. In his absence Little Bird will, perhaps,
carry off the stakes. According to the running of Wink-
field and Fulbeck at Brighton, the result of the race for
the Surrey and Middlesex Stakes ought to be a "close
touch" between those two animals. Fulbeck has 41bs.
extra to carry for winning at Tonbridge ; the old 'un
will therefore meet him on 131bs. better terms than at
Brighton, and will doubtless derive a telling benefit
from the difference of weight. Either New Brighton or
Duke of Lancaster may win the Runnymede Stakes.
The Betting Stand Plate seems on paper a "good thing"
for Swalcliffe. Eifrida, who ought to have won the Nur-
sery Stakes at Goodwood and didn't, and who ought to
have won the Nursery Stakes at Brighton but couldn't,
is certainly favourably treated by the Handicapper for
the Baron Stakes. She or Maid of the Morn will doubt-
less pull through. A FRESH MAN.
