TO THE EDITOR 01' THE SUN.
re,aarks on the iattp were, for the most
part, correct; the four horses that I selected to occupy
the foremost positlons included Joe Miller and Stilton,
the first end second; Due an Dburras had to give place
to his stable compaeion, Cockcrow, that
being: the na
selected by Lord Waterford to win with; and Ththerpe,
g
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 J.:e Miller and Stilton at
Epsom was reversed in this instance; as on tte Thwns,
Stilton beat Joe in a cantor bv the same distance that
,f,:e yesterday beat Stilton on the Roodee..
Dl9 true nature of the aindieep running of the year
w2s borne out yesterday by th,t for the Cup, as the
first and second for the 'Metropolitan, and the first for
the Northamptonshire Stakes, obt,in,d the first three
places; Poodle finishing a rood thin], kid the much
talked-of Benita a fair 1-',.,urtn, svic.,,ry was almost
a repetition of the [Zed 1-Yer game in 1844, as ho had
the leal pretty Learly from Ghc conmene.--,ment to the
tint-h, Lt:ver having been headed after he had token the
command of the van. Ti,e retae was run at a good pee,
tlx. time 4 min. 6 see. The immediate effect of
the reollt, c f the rice tor tar Cue
was the appearance
of Joe Miller at 15 to I for the Darby. his chance for
the great event on the Downs of Epsom is of a very
inferrer kind, as the public will End, it being a slightly
differtnt thing to carry 4st loth at Chester,
receiviug
weight from nearly everything; in the race, and hearing
Sst 7lb in the Derby
at level wei-tb
hts with the best
horses of the year.

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

_
The Cestrian Stakes will be contended for by Scipio,
Stratagem, and Water Lily:
STRATAGEM and SCIPIO
filling the first and second places, Water _Lily third aad
. .

The field for the Cheshire Stakes, I believe, will con-
sist of Mountain Deer, tho Marquis, Goldfinder, Black
Doc tor,Ephesus, Cardinal Wiseman, Dulcet, and Merry
Peal: GOLDFINDER or MERRY PEAL, the former for
choice, looking most like bustuess; the Marquis
close up.

The • Betting on to•morrow's events is as fol-
lows:—Cestrian Stakes-2 to lon the field. Wirral
Stakes-3 to lon Maid of Avon filly. Cheshire Stakes
—3 to 1 agst Goldfinder; 4 io 1 each agst Merry Peal,
Joe Miller, and the Black Doctor. Eaton Stake —6 to
4 ag4t Calot; 2 to 1 agst the Black Doctor.

HER .MAJESTY'S STATE BALL.
The Queers gene a Stare lastevEning at Buck-
ingham l' ace, which•was r•no,:t nurne:rously attended by
the nobility and gentry, nearly two thousand kvitations
having bean issued, and owing to her aje3ty's gracious
permission dispensing with the Ccnrt mourning on this
occasion (except for the ladies of the household), the
ball presented the brilliant nod reagnificont character
usual at the State receptions of the Sovereign.
The grand ball was decorated wish lx?autiful fl3wers.
This hall, composed of white marble and supported by
marble columns, has two recesses or alcoves at the foot
of the grand staircase; . these were filled with the
choicest plants, grouped. with excellent taste, springing
from a border of mosses and mignionette, the ono
group eurnaounted with a beautiful specimen of
the " acacia armata," and the corresponding
group with the " rziloa indica nibs." The sculpture
gallery adjoining the grand hall was filled with kola
tabl,s and settees for the aucommedation of the

grand stecase was brilliantly illuminated;
, at
the foot were two tripodit, bearing a maoof globts of
light, intersperied with nut crystal, the tipper portion of
the stairca,,e being hung with wboli•-levy:,li portraits of
various members of the Royal Pue:ily. The ante•roi m
at the top of the sta;rcase is a most beariWul epecitry n
of internal decoration-. Toe arched supported
by cilumna of white mei bLe with gilded capitals. This
room contains Gihen's st,AAres in marble et her Mej.isry
and his Royal Highness Prince' lbert, in which colour
is sp tringly and with much &Nosey introduced in the
ornaments and drapery. This apartment leads to the
green drawing-room, the throile•roona, and the picture-
gallery; and on the other side of the picture-gallery
are the yellow drawing-room, the saloon, the ball-
room, and the supper-room.
The throne room was appropriated as a second ball-
room, the orchestra was lamed in the deep alcove in
which the throne is situate ; it was but slightly raised
above the floor, and the front was hung with draperies
of crimson velvet embroidered in gold.
The ball-roam, which has a massive arched roof of
great magnigcence, being pannelled in architectural
compartments, profusely enriched with gilding, is sup-
ported by columns of crimson scagliola of the Corinthian
order with gilt capitals. The permanent orchestra is a
gallery at the north end.
The &cut pas, on which the seats of state were placed
for her Majesty and Prince Albert, was covered with
crimson. The draperies enclosing it were of amber-co-
loured satin and white lace, and at the back, forming a
back-ground to the seats, was a most brilliant assort-
ment of beautiful flowers, rising to a considerable height
above the seats. The draperies were surmounted by a
broad and massive gilt cornice.
Full-length portraits of her Majesty and Princo Al-
bert, by Winterhalter, ornament this apartment.
Adjoining the ball-room is the supper-room, having a
deep recess at the end, within which a buffet was ar-
ranged, on which the more exquisite specimens of
jewelled and ornamental gold plate were most effectively
displayed, with the aid of a background of dark crimson
and numerous lights from golden candelabra. This room
contains the portraits of George IV., in the robes of the
Garter, by Sir Thomas Lawrence, placed in the middle,
with those of George 111. and Queen Charlotte, by
Gainsborough, on either aide, Frederick, Prince of
Wales, and the Princess of Wales, and the Duke and
Duchess of Cumberland.
The tables for the supper were ranged round three
sides of the apartment.
The Yeomen of the Guard lined the grand ball and
staircase under the command of Captain. Kincaid, the
exon in waiting. Captains Bellairs and Rickfords, exons
of the corps, were also present.
A guard of honour of the Foot Guards was on duty on
the Palace lawn, with the band of the regiment.
The company began to arrive at the Palace at nine
o"clock, those having the entrée alighting at a tempo-
rary entrance in the garden, and the general company
entering from the principal portico.
Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess ofCaamtlorniddgede
and the Princess Mary arrived at ten o'clock, te
by Lady Suffield and Major Baron Knesebeck. Their
Royal Highnesses were received by the Maids of Ho-
nour, the Grooms, and the Equerries in Waiting, by
whom they were ushered to her Majesty.
Soon after ten o'clock the Queen and Prince Albert
were conducted by the Lord Chamberlain from the yel-
low drawing-room, through the saloon into the ball-room.
Her Majesty and his Royal Highness were accompanied
by their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cambridge
and the Princess Mary, and were attended by the Mis-
tress of the Robes; the Countess of Charlemont, lady in
waiting; Hon. Matilda Paget and Hon. Mary Seymour,
maids of honour in waiting; the Lord Steward, the Vice
Chamberlain, the Treasurer of the Household, the Comp-
troller of the Household; Lord Polwarth, lord in wait-
ing; Sir Edward Bowater, groom in waiting; Lord
Charles Fitzroy, equerry in waiting; the Pages of
Honour in Waiting; the Groom of the Stole to the
Prince; Lord George Lennox, lord in waiting to his
Royal Highness; Lieut.-Colonel Francis Seymour,
groom in waiting to his Royal Highness; and Lieut.-
Colonel the Hon. A. Gordon, equerry in waiting to his
Royal Highness.
The Queen wore a dress of white tarlatan over white
watered silk, trimmed with black and white flowers and
diamonds. Her Majesty's headdress was composed of a
wreath of black and white flowers and diamonds.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge wore
a dress of black net over black glace silk, embroidered
with black bugles, the stomacher ornamented with
pearls and diamonds. Her Royal Highness's head-
dress was formed of a mageificmt tiara of large pearls
and diamonds, with black lace lappets.
Her Royal Highness the Princess Mary wore a dress
of white net over white glace silk, elegantly trimmed
with white bugles and white roses, with ornaments ef
pearls and diamonds in the stomacher. Her Royal
Highness's head-dress was composed of white roses,
pearl', and diamonds.
The assembled visitors followed her Majesty and her
august circle from the saloon and picture gallery into
the ball-room.
A quadrille was immediately formed, and the Queen
opened the ball with the Duke of Bucclaucii, the zip a-via
being his Royal Highness Prince Albert and her Royal
Highness the Princess Mary.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge arrived
at half-past ten o'clock, attended by Lord William
Paula and Major the Hon. James Macdonald.
The ball having been opened, dancing was com-
menced in the throne-room with the " Quadrille of All
Nations." The brothers Labitzky attended with their
orchestra in this ball-room, and played the following
dances :
