THE PROBABLE STARTERS FOR TO-MORROW'S
RACES AT ASCOT.

. TO THE EDITOR OF TETE SUN.
SIR; I was unlucky enough in my selection for the Ascot
Stakes to take Lady Evelyn as my choice, not dreaming
that within an hour afterwards she would be scratched—as
was the case. I trust those who confide themselves to my
pilotage also got on those horses that I placed in the nearest
position toLady Evelyn, as I now anticipate that they (Story-
teller, Lucio, and Backbiter) will ran home in the three first
positions.
Fer one of the races to-morrow, the Royal Hunt Cup, it is
almost impossible to arrive at the exact list of starters at the
present time; as far as I can ascertain it is as follows:
Hernandez or'Officious, Hothorpe, Exeter, Hardinge, New-
port, Catalpa, Merry Peal, Manifold, Phle#a, Knight of the
Shire, Timid Fawn, Bushranger, Sally, Solyman, Follow-
me-Lads, Mountain Flower, Little Savage, Lucio, Surprise,
or Janina and Robert. In the foregoing list I have named
three horses from one stable as starters, viz.—Knight of the
Shire, Catalpa, and Little Savage. but, out of the youngsters
will be found wanting—which, I know net. To my fancy
the race will lie among Newport, Catalpa, Manifold, Bush-
ranger, and Robert. I expect to see the winner in BUM-
RANGER, CATALPA, or NEWPORT.
Fernhill Stakes, half a mile—Vaultress, Hoppicker, Jack
the Giant Killer, and 'Stella. My opinion is as before—
VAULTRISS .to win.
The Albany Stakes—FRANTIC, Ist; OrtEuo, 2nd. His
Grace and Hobble Noble are said to be non-starters.
. .

Fourth Triennial, five furlongs, 136 yards —Auld Ac-
quaintance, Elepeth, Husk, Veteran, Cheddar, War-whoop,
Cuckoo filly, Brother to Elthiron, and perhaps another or
two. As already announced, my favour inclines towards
Brother to Elthiron, now called THE REIVER, and CHEDDAR,
whom I expect to see finish first and second.
Coronation Stakes, new mile— Filly by lon, out of Exotic
and' Caloric. Both bad ones—a toss up for choice which,
it is said the Exotic will win.

The starters for her Majesty's Plate, it will be impossible
to give at the present time, the owners in all probability not
having made up their minds yet as to what they will start,
as previous events may alter the state of the case materially.
The same remarks will apply to the 50 sovs. Handicap
Plate. I may as well observe, however, that Barcelona has
gone to Ascot, especially to run for her Majesty's Plate.
The betting this morning turns principally upon to-day's
events, but a little has been done on the remaining three
days' races of the week to warrant the following list of
prices :—Royal Hunt Cup--7 to 1 each agst Newport, Catalpa,
and Manifold; Bto 1 each agst Bushranger and Mountain
Flower; 10 to 1 agat any other. Fernhill Stakes-2 to lon
Vaultress; 4 to 1 each agst Jack the Giant Killer and
Stella; 10 to 1 agat Peppermint. Albany Stakes-2 to lon
Frantic. Fourth Triennial-2 to 1 agst the Reiver, sto 2
and 3to 1 taken freely ; 7 to 2 agst Chedv ;; 4 to 1 agst

Cuckoo filly and War-whoop; long odds offered agst West
Australian, Vanderdecken, and Pug Orrock. Coronation
Stakes-6 to 4on Caloric; 2to 1 agst Exotic filly. Em-
peror's Plate-3 to 1 Bach agst'Voltigeur, Hobble Noble, and
Mountain Deeer, in each instance offered; 7 to 1 agat Joe
Miller. New Stakes-3 to 1 on the field. Fifty Soya
Stakes-2 to lon Harbinger; 4to 1 agst Filius ;6to 1 agst
