rough heads the list, as he has done fur many handiseps
though for what reason I cannot discover. His
cbaance,
here, if he runs, is an inferior one, and so is his neigh-
bour Chief Justice, who is weighted at 21bs. less.
Nancy, 4 yrs, Bst 31b, were she in form, would boa set-
tler; but as she is not, she must be content to finish in
the ruck. Prime Minister, at Bst 31b, has, I fancy, a
few pounds too much to carry; and Truth, at a pound
less, is by no means well in, the Premier having her as
safe as possible. Miss Ann's day seems to have passed
away, without she is being quietly bottled up for some-
thing. At 7st 121 b, although a six years old, I cannot
fancy her. Alonzo, 5 yrs, 7st 111 b, were the course a
little shorter, would be very dangerous ; as the case
stands I cannot place any faith in him. Frantic, although
an out-and-outer, at 7st 61b, has considerably too much
to carry for a three yrs old. Trickstress, 4 yre, 7st 61b,
is not likely to play off the winning trick ou this occa-
sion. Hungerford is leniently treated by the handi-
capper, only Est 81b having been awarded to him; but I
very much doubt his capability of finishing in front.
The Proctor, at the same weight as the Alp (6st 51b),
will have to make place for the latter, who if
he never possessed a chance of winning before,
has one now ; for I should say his six years
old back cannot be broken by the feathery weight that
be has to carry. Koh-i-noor, 3 yrs, Est 51b, is on the
forlorn list. Story-teller, 4 yrs, Est 41b, is moderately
well off, but I think he has his superiors in Obis bout
among the light-weighted class. Scarecrow, if they
mean him for the Cesarewitch, which I presume de-
pends upon the weight, will not appear before the eye
-
of .the public at Doncaster. The Knight of the Garter,
4 yrs, Est albs, is treated by the handicapper in a man-
ner that will enable his noble owner to have a good
chance of carrring off this handicap, and thereby make
some amends for his St. Leger catastrophe. Jack
Leerning, a most mysterious animal, who can run if he
likes, but generally has a strong chiection to exerting
himself, at sst 131 b, is let loose. Alfred the Great, the
only three yrs old with any pr3tension:to winning this
stake, is a doubtful starter; should ho run, however, his
chance is not the most forlorn imaginable. Leery
Whent, 3 yrs, sst 31b, has shown some running at times,
but will not do for this spin. Lady Harriett and Cap-
tain Flash, as knowing little or nothing about, I shall
pass over. Strong must be the mind of that person
that could for an instant conceive that horse

of Jeremy
This year she made her first appearance ie.e e for
the Sheffield and Rotherham Handicap at
.Doncaster,
where, with Est 131 b up, she ran, to the best of m re-
collection, seventh and last to the Surveyor. At Dutiam
in May, she mended her running considerably, for, '
car-
rying Bst 21b, she ran a fair second to Miss Flyaway,
same age and weight, for the Maiden Plate, beating,
among others, Burudale, 7st; Agnes Wickfield, Est 11lb;
The lied Lion, 7sl•' Mickleton Maid filly, 6st 11lb; and
Lindrick, 7st. I have entered into these particulars
about this filly, knowing full well that she will be an
immense favourite. She has improved considerably
since her last performance, and, if she cannot run close
up on this occasion, ought to be turned out as a common
hack at once. Bilberry, 3 yrs, 4st 91b, seems to have
a disinclination to win a great handicap, no matter how
favourably she may be treated as to weight; she is
rather dangerous, however, to stand against. The Infi-
delity filly, at 4st 71b, is likewise in well; but
the animals she will have to meet hero are of a grade
superior to her. On looking over my scraps of informa-
tion, I find that the batch most likely to dispute the
point of honour at the finish will consist of Alp, the
Twin, and the Knight of the Garter ; and if I place
the last-named two first and second, those positions ap-
proach the uoarest, iu my imagination, to what will be
the result.

In summing up yesterday on the Leamington Stakes,
I gave the pride of place to Lady Evelyn and Huco ;
I must now put Cleveland iu Hug ,'s position, and at
the same time declare it to be my firm conviction that
Cleveland will take an immense deal of beatiug.
