THE FIELD FOR THE GREAT ST. LEGER, &c

TO THE EDl7'Oll OF THE SUN.

SIR,—As the time approaches for the decision of the
Great Northern race, all the interest gradually centres
in a few animals. Out of the hundred and sixteeen
nominations, not more than ten or eleven at the outside
will be found at the post; and the names of those form-
ing the outside division I cannot give with any certainty.

Daniel O'Rourke, Stockwell, ilex, Trousseau, Souk.
stress, Harbinger, and King of Trumps are the declared
starters. The remaining three or four doubtfuls must
be selected from the following:—Alfred the Great,
Glenluce, Clumsy Jack, the Duke of Leineter, Merry-
go-round, Longbow, Sackbut, and King Pepin.
Lord Exeter's couple have put iu an appearance at
Doncaster; and although what betting has been done there
prices Stockwell at 5 to 2, yet the general yppearance of
both have not elicited any marks of approbation from the
cognoscenti. It is singular, but there is a steady deter-
mination on the part of several clever members of " the
talent" to fire away at Stockwell. If this horse does
not finish first, I anticipate seeing him in the third po-
sition. Ilex, of course, will be nowhere; merely start-

kg to make play for his stable companion.
What I have above termed the outside list contains
not an animal that can be expected to attain the third
position, much less the second or first.
King of Trumps has arrived, and looks much better
than was generally supposed he would, but hie very
doubtful preparation, I think, must effectually put his
chance out.

The Duke of Richmond's Harbinger is the picture of
perfection, so far as training goes, and will unchpubtedly
finish third or fourth. Hew it would astonish the backers
of the favourite were be to win? More apparently im-
possible things than this have been accomplished; and
as there must be something in the field to justify the
tremendous outlay that has been, and still is, going on
by certain knowing ones against Stockwell and Song-
stress, I cannot conceive who else it can refer to but
Harbinger, Trousseau, or Daniel O'Rourke.
Mr. Peelley's Trousseau, although in beautiful condi-
tion, and well suited to such a coarse as that at Don-
caster, I do not expect to see nearer the front than fourth
or fifth.
Daniel O'Rourke and Songstress will arrive at Don-
caster to-day. The former has been doing out-and-out
work, and the latter but moderate. I cannot get over
the fact that Songstress's work has not been by any means
first rate since the accident to her foot; and, coupled
with some crotchets in my brain concerning her arising
from the money cannonading she has received, and
some other reasons, I think she will do very well if
she manages to save the second money for her owner.
As to Daniel, notwithstanding his diminutive size,
and the nature of the course being against him only, I
consider his chance to be as good as, if not better than,
any in the race; and, ridden by Frank Butler, will be
about A 1 in the race.
The starters for the Municipal Stakes are War
Whoop, Vanderdecken, Umbriel, and Incense. As I
have placed them so I expect they will come in.
V. T. (Barnsley) is informed that there is but one
horse of the name of Plaarold, and he is by Alarm, out
of Lady Trampoline. Was originally tho property of
Captain Dela 6, but sold by him when a yearling to Mr.
Mare. He is trained byFrench atNewmarket.—l am,&c.,
