I have sketched to the utmost of my ability the claims
of the Derby horses for 18G4, and, putting every circum-
stance together, the merits of the trial horses, as well as the
judgment of their owners and trainers, the soundest con-
clusion at which I can arrive is, that the great race of the
year will be carried off by 'Diu SCOTTISH CHIEF or BIRCH
Bnoom ; and next to these I think wo shall discover
BARAOAH and COPENHAGEN.

The following are extracted from the notes of the various
sporting writers in the weekly journals :
Bell's Life.
How to sum up is most difficult, for while public running
points to General Peel, Cambuscan, Scottish Chief, and
Birch Broom are all said to have been better tried in private
than the Two Thousand Guineas winner was in public;
then the shrewdest judges think that Paris will beat
General Peel over the extra half mile, and others have it
that Historian will in turn beat him; and for all this
nothing can shake the confidence placed in Coast Guard,
Ely, Blair Athol, and Zany greater outsiders even than
these. Thus we have so many "good things" to choose
between as to be compelled to fall back upon public form ;
and as the performances last year of Coast Guard, Histo-
rian, Cambuscan, and Paris pointed to them as the best,
while Lord Glasgow's horse easily beat the best of these
very recently, let us have GENERAL PEEL to win the Derby
of 1864, with Historian and Ely for two good outsiders
likely to get places.

ORANGE BLOSSOM—BeI Life.
There's still a chance that Fate not yet
Has sealed Cambuscan's doom,
For 'twat the jackets white and black,
Beneath the whip Newmarket's crack,
A moment rallies—then falls back,
In spite of lash and heel ;
In front the crimson sleeves appear,
High o'er the din rings Jackson's cheer,
And Aldcroft, by a half length clear, •
Has won on GENERAL PEEL I

A DERBY DREAM—Bell's Life.
" The Chief walks in l" " Cambuscan wins I" a thousand
tongues proclaim,
They're level at the distance, their chances are the same ;
Historian makes his effort now, but fails, and dies away,
To the Yellow and the Blue is left the struggle of the day.
The Mg-un is in trouble I Edwards is at him now,
And from the excited multitude is heard a deafening row;
He struggles gamely to the end, a noble shattered wreck,
But CAMBUSCAN, staying longest, wins the Derby by a
neck I

ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OF
ENGLAND.
The ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of Members will
be held at the Society's House, 32, Hanover-square, on
MOSDAY, May 23, at Twelve o'clock.
By order of the Council,
11. HALL DARE, Secretary.
London, May 16,18&4.

It now only remains for me to state that I believe the
ollowing half dozen— General Peol, Coastguard, Paris,
Ely, Strafford, and Baragab, might be safely taken to beat
the field; but for those who require a more definite opinion
I beg to add that my decided leaning is towards the best
form of this year—GENERAL PEEL, and the best of last—
COASTGUARD; and my casting vote must be in favour of
LO RD GLASGOW,

who has as I have above notified, a " second string to his
bow" of no mean pretensions. Should the race, however,
be destined to fall to an outsider, I believe that BARACIAR
will effect the coup.
