The conditions of the stakes stipulated that the winner of
any two-yr-old stakes value 100 says should carry 41b ex-

THE RACE FOR THE NOTTINGHAMSHIRE
HANDICAP,

The following threatening letter was received by Mr E.
Braylcy, the owner of the Pearl Diver, at Nottingham,
yesterday, and handed to our reporter. The writer of the
cowardly effusion, however, was saved the trouble of carry-
ing his threat into execution, and Mr Brayley would have
treated the matter with the contempt it deserves but for the
reason that thO publicity given to the circumstance in our
columns might put the ruffianly writer to shame; or better
still, possibly lead to his detection:—
"To Mr Brayley.

"SIR,—If you dont run your Pearl Diver straight in tho
Nottingham Handicap to-morrow and win (which you can)
look out for your last visit to the racecourse.
"Come, it's all over with you; the milking must be
stopped.—Prom "A VICTIM VERY DEEPLY TAKEN IN.
"They'll all have it, if not run straightforward.
"Nottingham. To Mr. Brayley, owner of Pearl Diver,
Nottingham Racecourse; or Cannon, the jockey."
