Yellow Jack and Peter Wilkins, who, on account of very
favourable reports of their private pertormancto,har:
for some time past held a pretty prominent position
the Derby betting, made their first appearance in public
to-day. This was, in fact, the only feature of interest

and importance in the day's sport.
With regard to Yellow Jack, there are many conflict-
ing opinions as to his form and quality, and his ability to
sustain the leading character in the grand Derby spec.
tacle of 1856 is much questioned. This moot point is,
however, likely to be productive of much speculation.
Peter Wilkins must be seen again before judgment b.

pronounced upon him.
The weather wag showery and bitterly cold, and the
heath was, consequently, thinly attended.
