THE FIELDS FOR TO•MORROW'S RACES AT

NEWMARKET, &c.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sill,—Yesterday's races, with the exception of the
match between Pensioner and the Jemima filly, came off
in strict accordance with my anticipations. The best
race of the day was that between Phrygia and Die-
media; the former winning, after a desperate struggle
from half way up the distance, through sheer gameness,
by a head. For the other matches, the Jemima filly—a
great pot—defeated the Duke's Pensioner very easily;
Glenluce confirmed the truth of her previous running by
beating Flirt easily.
Maria's allowance of slbs in the race for the 50 sous.
stakes enabled her to dispose of Caloric easily enough.
By Rosalind, who ought not to have started, broke
down early in the race and finished her career upon the
Turf.

The 50 Sovs. Plate, for two yrs old, first class, was
carried off with great ease by Pelion, Pug Orrock being
the only one that could get anywhere near him ; and
Scandal won the 50 Sove. Plate, second class, in vety
clever style, beating, among others, Frenzy and William
Rufus.
The 50 Sovs. Plate, for three yrs old and upwards, A.
F., a sort of trial stake to the great race to•day; was
all one way, as Kingston came when his jockey pleased,
and won in a canter. Joe Miller was second, Con-
more third, Ben Nevis a moderate fourth, and Maid-
stone a bad fifth and last. This race, however, had
very little effect on the Cesarewitch betting ; it ;merely
advanced Weathergage and Indian Warrior a point each.
The betting sent Le Juif back five or six points, and
Lady Amyott from twelve to twenties. Lady Evelyn
opened firm at seven, and closed at sixes. The Derby
betting was only remarkable for the enormous sum
betted against Lord Exeter's Filbert-60,0001. to 2,0001.
having been booked. This son of Nutwith and Celia—
about whom I remarked in my first observations on the
Derby of 1853, that he was the best of Lord Exeter's
lot for that race—is a fine looking animal, but will, in
my opinion, turn out to be a sort of Midas in his racing
career. The manner in which they support him for
the Clearwell pretty clearly intimates that my first and
second horses—Orinoco and Estrella—must be content
to fill the second and third places, and leave him the
leading one.

The list of sport for to-morrow embraces seven races
and a match; five of, the ggetinier—namely, The Town
Plate, 10 Soya. Stakes, Oatlands Plate, 15 and 10
Soya, Handicaps, will not close and name until this
evening.
The 50 Soya. Sweepstakes, for two yrs old, Criterion
Course, will be contested by four, wtio will probably
run in as follows :—NICOTINE, 1 ; colt by Alarm, out of
Alkali, 2; colt by Assault, dam by Lanercost, out of the
Nun, 3; and filly, by Beiram, out of Amaryllis, 4. Should
Nicotine be reserved for the Bedford Stakes, which is
more valuable, the Alkali cult will be the winner.
The field for the Bedford Stakes will, probably, con-
sist of Gossip, Vest, Bounty, Vaultress, and Nicotine.
Of Ninnyhammer's running I have some doubts, as his
name is mixed up with an arrear of forfeits, &c. This
said Ninnyhammer is a horse of a superior class, to all
appearance, and will accomplish a good thing some of
these days. VAULTREBS and Nicotine will probably
occupy the first and second places; and Gossip the third.
In the Match for 200, Lord Exeter's Mountain Flower,
3 yrs, Bst 71b, with her turn of speed, ought to dispose
easily enough of Mr. Payne's War Whoop, 2 yrs, 7st 111 b.
Mr. Combe's filly, by Alarm, out of Rosalind, is
considered a good thing for the Bretby Stakes.
It is expected that only Cheddar, Pharold, Filbert,
and Orinoco, will ran for the Prendergast.
Mr. Warrener's brown colt, emus, by Pompey. out
of Interlude, broke down so badly at Chester, that his
racing career may be considered to have terminated
there.

Lord Zetland's stud for the future is to be located al
John Osborne's stables, Middleham, under the care 01
George Abdale. I am, yours, &c.
