THE RACE FOR THE CHESTER CUP AND THE
FIELDS FOR TOMORROW.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SU.N.
Sin,—My remarks on the Cup were, for the most
part, correct; the four horses that I selected to occupy
the foremost positions included Joe Miller and Stilton,
the first and second; Duc an Dhurras had to give place
to his stable companion, Cockcrow, that being the tiag
selected by Lord Waterford to win with; and Hothorpe,
the remaining horse of my team, though in splendid
condition, was unable to give two stone for the year to
the winner. The running of Joe Miller and Stilton at
Epsom was reversed in this instance; as on the Dawns,
Stilton beat Joe in a canter by the same distance that
Joe yesterday beat Stilton on the Roodee.
.The true nature of the Handicap running of the year
was borne out yesterday by that for the Cup, as the
first and second for the Metroooliten, and the first for
the Northamptonshire Stakes, obtained the first three
places; Poodle finishing a good third, and the much
talked-of Benita a fair fourth. Joe's victory was almost
a repetition of the Red Deer game in 1844, as ho had
the lead pretty nearly from the commencement to the
finish, never having been headed after he bud taken the
command of the van. The race was run at a good pace,
the time being 4 min. 6 sec. The immediate effect of
the result of the race for the Cup
was the appearance
of Joe Miller at 15 to 1 for the Derby. His chance for
the great event on the Downs of Epsom is of a very
inferior kind, as the public will find, it being a slightly
different thing to carry 4st 101 b at Chester, receiving
weight from nearly everything in the race, and tearing
Bst 7lb iu !ho Derby at level weights, with the best
horses of the year.

In my notes yesterday I forgot. to state that Bethge-
lert and Merry Bird would be first and second for the
Triennial Produce Stakes, and the information will be
of little or no service now. Omissions and mistakes will
occur in the best ordered attrte of things.
Seven stakes figure on the list for to-morrow, three of
which—the 5 sovs. Handicap, Ladies' Puree, and Grand
Stand Cup—close and name this evening.
The Wirral Stakes will, in all probability, terminate
in a walk over; the owner of the fitly by Orlando out of
the Maid of Avon being the recipient of the forfeits.
The Eaton Stakes may possibly be contested by the
Black Doctor, Bess of Hardwick, and Calot or Ibis,
BESS OF HARDWICK and CALOT occupying the first and
econd places, with the Black Doctor in the third posi-
tion, and ibis last.

Tae Cestrian Stakes will be contended for by SciPi°,
Stratagem, and Water Lily: STRATAGEM and Same
filling the first and second places, Water Lily third mid

The field for the Cheshire Slake 3, I believe, will con-
sist of Mountain Derr, the Marquis
Doctor, Ephesus, Cardinal Wiseman,, Go'dander, Black
Dulcet., and Merry
Pell: GOLDFINDER or MERRY PEAL, the former for
choice, looking most like business; the Marquis
close up. . . _

The Betting on to-ncorrovi's events is as fol-
lows:—Cestrian Staker.-2 to 1 ma the field. Wirral
Sc.kes-3 to lon Maid of Avon filly. Cheshire Stakes
—3 to 1 egst Goldfinder; 4 to 1 each agst Merry Peal,
Joe Miller, and the Black Doctor. Eaton Stake:.-6 to
4 agst Calot; 2 to 1 agst the Black Doctor.
