ODDS AND ENDS FROM EPSOM, &c.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Stn,—My accounttsfrom Epsom and elsewhere received
this morning enable me to lay before my readers a tolerably
correct list of starters for to-morrow's races on the Downs,
with some other notabilia worth recording. The fields will
be as nearly as possible as follows:
Trial Stakes—Hangerford, Harp, Stapleton, Cnt-eus, Puri-
tan, Lady Alice, Harrier, and Blood Royal. This stake will
be run at one o'clock.
The City and Suburban Handicap; to be run at a quarter
before two—Prime Minister, Thornhill, . Merry Peel, Guy
Mannering, lauthe, Kilmeny, Edward of York, Diligence,
Odessus (d), Mary Ann, the Brahmin (d), Sir Charles Na-
pier, Greengage, Cytherea filly, Flounce, Butterfly, and per-
haps Lady Isabella and Surprise. The latt named is still
doubtful starter.
Two Years Old Stakes, to be run at half-past two—Pan-
tomime, Sister to Iracundus, Glenavon, Anxiety, Miss
Emma, Blonde], John Bull, Sextns, King David, Red Tape
filly, Deerhound, Estelle filly, and perhaps Gossip and Gold
Dust.

The Great Metropolitan Stakes, to he run at half-past
three—Elthiron,. The Ban, Miss Ann, Backbiter, Officious,
Calmar, Kick up the Dust, John of Berwick, Achyranthus,
Candlewick, Letterpress, Perjury; Haresfoot, Sally War-
foot colt, Joe Miller, Follow moLads, Stamford, Ethelwolf,
Captain Flash, ;Kato, Stilton, 'and perhaps Snarry. This
list, I believe, will undergo little or no alteration. The
following are already struck out, or as good as being so :
Landgrave' Raby, Mark Tapley*,- Cockcrow, Cmeus, Hesse
Homberg, Grand Duke, Grey 'oininy, Knook Knoll, Ma-
sham, Pelopidas, Young Troublesome, Curl, Bardolph, Ur-
banity, Ratan filly, and Czarina,
The Selling Stakes, to be routt half-past four—Grand
Duchess, Cosachia, Clown, Hello pe, Czarina, Amoroso, and
Sabra.
The sport will be brought to &close at ".--e o'clock with
the Railway Plate, for which the startc..7 very dubious,
but the following batch are those most likely to show :
Hungerford, Heroine, Knight of the Thistle, The Incurable,
tracundus, Equiria, Chaplet, Tightwaiat, Sprig of Shilelagb,
Timid Fawn, Water Lily, and Freestone.
The Trial Stakes having closed since my last communica-
tion, I am enabled to state that Hungerford or Stapleton
will, in all probability, be the winner ; at any rate, the first
three places ought to be filled by HUNGERFORD, HARP, and
STAPLETON.

With respect to the City and Suburban Handicap, it is
necessary I should observe that Prime Minister is in first-
rate fettle, and looks extremely dangerous to stand against;
the distance, however, may knock his chance over. Guy
Mannering is likewise in line form, and will run
forward, Kilmeny is strongly fancied, as also is Mary Ann ;
Edward of York, however, will settle them both, if they can
get him off satisfactorily. Sir Charles Napier is to be tried
in this spin, in preference to Hungerford: his running for-
ward will not surprise me at all. Greengage, Flounce, and
Butterfly are all in excellent condition. The race, I expect,
will terminate in the victory of EDWARD or YORK, GREEN-
GAGE, or Flounce; Butterfly and the favorite (Mary Ann)
being well up.
The struggle fur the Two-years-old Stakes will be between
the Sister to Iracundus,Pantomime, King David, and Estelle
filly, ending as I remarked yesterday.
The Great Metropolitan, in my opinion, will fall to the lot
of Lord Waterford with Kick Ur THE DUST, or Dawson with
STiurox ; Kate, Officious, Backbiter, and Elthiron being
their nearest attendants.

The Railway Plate, as well as I can make out this
morning, will become the property of the owner of Heroine,
Tightwaist, or Timid Fawn.
The betting market is very brisk this morning on to-mor-
row's events, prices ruling as follows :—Great Metropolitan
—4 to 1 agst Stilton, 8 to 1 each agst Backbiter, Kick-up-
the-Dust, and Kate. 10 to 1 each agst Miss Ann and Joe
Miller, 15 to 1 agst Elthion, 15 to 1 agst Achyranthes, 15 to
1 agst Captain Flash, 16 to 1 each agst John of Berwick and
Sally Warfoot colt. Two Year Old Stakes-5 to 2 agst
Sister to Iracumdus (taken), 5 to 1 agst any other. City
and Suburban Handicap-4 to 1 agst Mary Ann, 6to 1 each
agst Prime Minister, Kilmeny, Greengage, Surprise, and
Butterfly, 8 to 1 agst Edward of York, 9 to 1 each agst Cy-
theria filly and Flounce, 10 to 1 agst Sir Charles Napier, 10
to 1 agst Thornhill.
Anything of consequence that may come to hand in the
course of the afternoon will be published in the Third Edition
of The Sun this evening.
I am, Sir, yours, &c.,
