HARTFORD BRIDGE, JUNE 13.--The farmers in
this neighbourhood are full of dismay at . the sudden ap-
pearance amongst their beau crops of a disease similar to
that which destroyed the potatoes. A week ago all was
well—to-day acres upon acres are being Ploughed up Or

The Bihar)/ Club held their meeting on Wednesday;
and, out of half a dozen stakes (a moiety of which as
yet are of the skeleton description) only two—the
Champagne and Produce Stakes—require any notice.
For the former, a small field of some four or five will
probably go to the post; which will terminate in favour
of ANGLESEY or ALTITUDE; Hybla, in all likelihood, as
she will have a penalty to carry, being reserved for
future engagements.
The Produce Stakes, over the new mile, will be con-
tested by Odessus, St. Andrew, Hirsute, and perhaps Red
Hind. Should the last-named run, notwithstanding her
exhibitions at Ascot, I must place her before her oppo-
nents; but should she not see the post, I expect ODESSUS
will figure in the first position. .
The match between Sir J. B. Mills, colt by Epirus,
and Mr. Wyndham's Sir John, will, I should say, be
compromised.
The sport at STOCK BRIDGE
on Thursday is first rate, and consists of five stakes,
none of which have less than three dozen entries. The
first on the card is the Second Triennial Stakes of 10
sovs. each, two miles and a half, for which Payment,
Harpsichord, Lamartine, Catalpa, and perhaps Phlege-
then, Antigone, the Knight of the Thistle, and Iracun-
dus will run. The flying Payment of other days
has lost all her form, or I should not have hesi-
tated to award her the place of honour on this
occasion. The stick-legged Harpsichord may be classed
with the fiery-tempered Iracundus and Antigone
aS a thorough bad lot. Phlegethon and Catalpa are both
out of condition, and nothing but the distance will be in
their favour. Last, but by no means least, we come to
LAMARTINE, who I have no doubt will, under the jockey-
ship of Alfred Day, find his way home first ; Payment
and Catalpa being second and third, Phlegethon fourth.
The Third Triennial Stakes, I fancy, will be contested
by Chief Baron Nicholson, The Chace, Harbinger,
Filius, Joe Miller, and perhaps another or two. Lord
Derby's Longbow, I think, will remain at Malton. In
Longbow's absence I see nothing that has any preten-
sions to cope successfully with CHIEF BARON NICHOLSON,
whom I place No. 1, with Harbinger and Joe Miller in
the second and third places.
Tho Fourth Triennial Stakes, over the three-quarters
of a mile course, may possibly attract the following to
the post. Cineas, Warwhoop, William Rufus, Cobnut,
Placid, and two or three others whose names I have
been unable to ascertain. The race, I imagine, will ter-
minate in favour of CINEAB, who is allowed 31bs, and
William Rufus or Placid may likely enough obtain the
second place.
Not knowing how many and which of the fifty-eight
nominations all going to the post for the Stewards' Plate,
I must defer giving any opinion on this stake until
next week.

eleven out of its forty-six nominations, which will in-
clude the names of CHEDDAR and Milesian. who will not
improbably be placed first and second. This stake brings
the Stockbridge meeting to a conclusion.
The meeting at WINCHESTER
is marked for Friday, and commences with the Original
Hampshire Stakes, destined to be carried off by the
LITTLE SAVAGE or Flash of Lightning colt.
The TwO Year Old Stakes for 10 soya. each, 50 added,
if three horses start, &c., will show SPEED THE PLOUGH
or ANGLESEY in the leading position; Hybla, Cineas, and
Milesian being doubtful runners.
The Great Produce Stakes of 50 sovs. each, h ft, over
the new mile, will be carried off- by the Duke of Rich-
mond with his HARBINGER.
The First Winchester Triennial Stakes must result in
favour of CHIEF BARON NICHOLSON or HARBINGER;
it is a toss up for choice between them, as the former
has to concede five pounds to the latter.—l am, &c.,
