THE NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE MEETING.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

BlR,—Next week is prolific with sport both in north
and south: Newcastle putting forth its attractions in the
north of England, and Eibury, Stockbridge, and Win-
chester exhibiting their charms in the opposite direction.
Now as it so happens that each of these reunions this
yemr possesses an unusual amount of attraction—the
stakes being numerous and well filled—l have made a
point of commencing my remarks upon them a day
earlier than usual, my motive for doing which will no
doubt be seen and I hope appreciated by those for
whose benefit it is done. I shall not touch upon any
other evens than those of Newcastle to-day.
The sport commences on the banks of what scribblers
are pleased to term " the coaly Tyne," with the last spin
of the Second Trienial Produce Stakes, which seems to
be the peculiar property of Mr. Wentworth—his ches-
nut colt Azeth having won it in 1850, beating Presto
by a head, walking over for it last year, and this year
is again likely to do a similar feat, it not being worth
the while of the owner of Presto to send his horse to
Newcastle to receive the second money—a matter of
something under 20/., so A zura will remain alone in his
glor Tny.
e second event will be the Tyro Stakes, to be

run over the T.Y.C., which is abpat six. furlongs. We
probably have the following at the post, namely:—
Ann Eliza, i\lestor, Charming Woman, the Queen, and
.Lumbton. The race will probably terminate in placing
THE QUEEN, LAMBTON, and CHARMING WOMAN, first,

second, and third.
The North Derby of 10 sove. each, with 100 added,
once round, being 3,162 yards, will probably ba con-
tested by one of Scott's, the Marinello colt or Phantom,.
Gossamer, and perhaps Lucie. I shall look to Scott's
horse for the winner. Stilton is a non-starter.
On Wednesday the sport will commence with the
third Triennial Produce Stakes over the two roneeCaine;
and, notwithstanding that the names of Songstress and
Claverhouse figure in the entry, I shall look for the
winner in EVADNE or PELOPIDAC, the former for choice.
The Produce Stakes of 25 sous. each, h ft, for two
years old, over the T.Y.C., will probably fall to the lot of
Lord Fauconber.
The Northumberland Plato of 200 soya, added to a
Handicap Sweepstakes of 15 sous. each, 10 ft, and only
five, if declared, Zsc., over the two ra:le course, is of
course the crack event of the meetings The field, it is
expected, will comprise most of the following names:—
Bird-on-the-wireg, 3 yrs, est 121 b; Caracara, 3 yrs,
4st 10Ib; Colsterdaie, 4 yrs, 6st 41b; England's Glory,
4 yrs, Sat 101 b;
Jack Leeninig, 4 yrs, 6st 41b; Gelding,
by Morgan Rattler, 5 yrs, Est 61b; Paquette,
4 yrs, 6st
Phantom, 3 yrs, 53t 121 b; the Proctor,
•
4 yrs, s:t 121 b ; St, Michael, 3 yrs, 43t 10lb;
Stilton, s Yrs, 6st, Including 611)3 for winning the
Metropolitan Handicap; and perhaps one of Saunders's
_Goldfiiader, Ringleader, or Trickstress. This field, it
is very_possible, may be added to or subtracted from,
before Wednesday next; should such be the case I shall
notify the :41039 on Monday or Tuesday. For a long time
past Stilton has not only monopolised the position of first
favourite, but also all the betting; within the last
few days, however, commissions have been flying about
in support of Bird-on-the-Wing, St. Michael, Caracara,
Phantom, and one or two others; and I think it not at
all improbable that the field may put on a much bolder
front before the helloing's for saddling. This course—
although somewhat of a circular shape—being much
larger than that at Chester, is better adapted
to Stilton's enormous stride, and consequently will en-
able him to run to better advantage than on the Roodeo.
I cannot help thinking, however, that he starts on very
unfavourable terms with the majority of his competitors.
One of his most dangerous rivals is the little Bird-ora-
the-Wing, whose performance in the Oaks entitles
her to a considerable share of attention. The
mysterious Phantom, too, is expected to run very for-
ward in the race, and as Scott says so—bearing in mind
what he said of Daniel before the Derby—l shall
not forget Phantom in this instance. St. Michael,
although supported heavily by many, I have
no fancy for whatever. The Proctor and Pa-
quetta are both let loose; and if either have any
pretensions to racing, they ought to show them on this
occasion. England's Glory has not been very bright
lately, or at 5,t 101 b he should be the absolute
winner; as it is, I expect he will be nowhere.
More, however, anon. One of the lowest in the
scale of weights is Lord Glasgow's Caracara, who
in this instance, I expect, will be very forward in the
rats—one of the first three—receiving, as he does, ISibs
of Stilton, and 161bs of Bird-on-the-Wing. The race,
in fact, so far as I can discover at the present time, lies
between Caracara, Bird-on-the-Wing, and Stilton; and
if I took any for choice it would be Lord Glasgow's colt.
On Thursday for the Gateshead or Lottery Stakes,
over the two mile course, they will scarcely, I should say,
pull out the Derby winner ; but leave the race to GOSSA-
111ER, Augur also being among the absentees.
The Gold Cup Stakes, or 10 soya each, over the two
mile coarse, will probably be contested by Azeth, Nancy,
and perhapl Stilton. Should Mr. Martinson's mare run,
I expect she will be the winner ; in her absence I see
rtothiag to deprive Aa;ah of the laurels of victory.
The Members' Plate Handicap, Grand Stand, Convi-
vial, and Amateur Welter Stakes, and Corporation
Plate, I shall defer commentin;a upon until next week.

brisk, notwithstanding the attractions of Hampton
meeting. The following are the latest quotations:—
