A FEW WORDS ON THE MANCHESTER

MEETING.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—A tolerably good programme has been issued
by the Manchester sporting executive for decision to-
morrow and Friday.
The Wilton Handicap of 100 soya., added to a sweep-
stakes of 5 sous. each, two miles 240 yards, out of a
strong entry will, in all probability, have a good field at
the post; but the race, to my fancy, will be entirely
with Lerrywhent, Banshee, and Black Doctor; who,
i
perchance, may finish first, second, and third, n the
order I have placed them.
The Autumn Welter Handicap I should book a cer-
tainty for Warwick, if he runs.
The Champagne Stakes, notwithstanding the penalty
that Exact will have to carry, if they mean her, will be
monopolised by this slashing daughter of Birdcatcher.
Lambton will not start.
The Chesterfield Handicap, about a mile and a quar-
ter, like unto the Wilton, has an uncommonly strong
entry, and will no doubt likewise attract a good field,
including Timid Fawn, Warwick, and Kiteflyer, who, I
or
opderine, I
have placed will catch the
themjge's eye pretty nearly in the
A good deal of betting this morning, at the following
prices:-10 Sovs. Stakes (Leicester)-2 to 1 agat Bor-
deaux; 4 any other; Warwick and Koh-i-noor are said

Betting-5 to 4 agst Azael, sto 1 each agst Waverly
and Bilberry, 6 to 1 agat Aaron Smith, and 8 to 1 agst
Maria. Won by ten lengths.
The race is in abeyance in consequence of an objection
made by the owner of Bilberry that the other horses had
not carried the prcper weight. It appears that the
highest
weight left in was under Bst 7113; it was raised—
after adding penalties of 51b each to And and Aaron
Smith for running—to
that weight, and the others in
proportion, instead of raising it upon the original weight.
Bilberry carried weight according to the articles, but
having
met with an accident early in the race, did not
run
the course, so that there is a chance of the race being

void.
Two Years Old Plata of 10 soya. each, with 50 added;
winners 31b extra. Half a mile.

MESSRS. HOWARD AND CLINTON TO THE SPORT-
ING PUBLlC.—Conscious that we have discharged our
duty to the public, by sparing neither money nor
exertion, in obtaining the best and choicest informa-
tion from the most influential, and even from the
most closely-guarded stables, we have hitherto been re-
warded by ample success. Being equally aware of the
many enemies that our success has produced, we beg to lay
before you the following cursory remarks in the Morning
Post of yesterday (Tuesday). The public will, we have no
doubt, respect the opinion and iudgment of such a man as
Argus, a man of discriminating judgment and known honour.
" The present is the age of wonder, and on so great a scale
are the operations of a firm, calling themselves Messrs.
Howard and Clinton, carried on, that a journal of their own,
published by subscription, has been established by them,
for the retailing of information; the changes in the market,
or in their own opinions, being conveyed daily to the public
through the columns of a morning contemporary, in cypher.
Some of these numbers were handed about at Doncaster, and
scanned with a degree of avidity that shows how eagerly in-
formation on racing is sought after by the speculative
classes. Some condemned, but all were amused by them;
and upon the principle of rendering unto Cresar, &c., I cannot
but admit their luck, in finding out the secrets of the pri-
son-house,' must be either very wonderful, or else that they
must have resources at their command such as we are wholly
unacquainted with. And it was still more amusing to hear of
parties, some of them old stagers, too, candidly admitting
the fact of their subscription to their lists, and the confidence
in the investment of their moneys. The proof of the pudding
is in the eating, and I should not be surprised to hear of this
firm becoming a great fact' in the racing circles. —Anous.

SONNET ON HEARING THE FIRST TID-
INGS OF THE DEATH OF THE GREAT
DUKE OF WELLINGTON.
Lift up the wail, and let the dirge be rung;
The roll of muffled drums appal the ear;
The Dead March peal; the fun'ral hymns be sung—
The Nation's Hero lies upon his bier.
A Beacon-light hath vanish'd from the earth ;
A Master-spirit from the human raoe 'A
worthy, foremost in the ranks of worth,
Is missing from his old accustom'd place.
The Conqueror's halls are desolate, at last;
Where comrades triumph'd mourners sob instead;—
The " Iron Duke " to Death's domain has pass'd.
The Patriarch bath bow'd his hallow'd head.
His country weeps—Oh ! melancholy day!
Her long familiar Pride for ever snatched away.
The Warrior and the Statesman well combin'd;
The Patriot frankly blended with the Sage;
The noblest Man of Mark, among his kind,
Who, world-wide, shap'd the fortunes of our age.
From our lov'd Lady, on her firm-built throne,
E'en to the humblest dweller of the land,
Soon as the dismal tidings shall be known,
One universal sorrow will expand,
One deep, affectionate, and yearning grief
To lose—the honest Man—the matchless Chief.
No Spartan epitaph—no niggard fame—.
Shroud the transcendent glories of his name
But let hie grateful countrymen decree •
"Britain ne'er lost a son, Great Wellington, like thee !"

FASHION.--THE, DIPTHERA BoNNNT Madanle
D uhay D Golberg, whose name is known throughout civi-
lised Europe as the presiding Goddess of Fashion, has Just
astonished her votaries by the production of a chapeau. The
history of this novelty is somewhat curious, and peculiarly
marks the character of the Parisians. Madame D'Gqberg,
about to retire full of honours was struck with a desire to
leave a something which should attach a " glory.
.to her
a
name." Fired with the notion, and in the pure spirit of
Frenchwoman, she seized upon 'a
skin of polished leather, and
in an instant converted it into a bonnet. Ye
