SIR,—It is quite time that my analysis of this cele-
brated pet of the metropolitan division of the sporting
world should be laid before the public, therefore I shall
proceed at once to discuss the merits of the animals en-
gaged in it. This stake I las this year a very fair quan-
tum of acceptances, in re amber 56. The nag that has
commanded most attention. as yet is tho top weight, Lord
Eglintou's Elthiron, now in his sixth year. His chance
over this course, in my opinion, is a very fair one,
though I think hard ky good enough to allow
of his being the absolute 'winner; he, however, has his
next three companions, L vadgrave, The Ban, and Miss
Ann, perfectly safe. ackbiter, I consider, is over dosed
at Bst 31b; he is now faith tg fast into the sere and yellow
leaf, and is not likely to a stonish the world by winning
any more Metropolitan (Yr Goodwood Stakes. Raby
and Mark Tapley, at 7st t3lb each, I hardly know what
to make of them; they have neither been in very
magnificent condition 15or some time past ; but
as Dawson is genereally considered a trouble-
some person for this serent, no doubt, if neither of
these can accomplish Ow trick, his favourite colt by
Cotherstone out of Wryn rack, or Burndale, may do the
deed of note; which, on the part of one of the latter
couple, will be by no means an improbable circumstance.
Lord Waterford's Cockcruw I do not imagine will be
brought out for this stake. Lord Lurgan's Cnmus,
with Hesse Homburg:, Officious, Grand Duke,
and Calmar are much on a par, and not very likely to
turn up the trump card. Kick-up-the-Dust, I fancy, will
represent Lord Waterfor d's interests, but her chance is
not attractive. Hungerfi wd, at the same weight (6st
121 b), is a dangerous looking animal; but I almost
fancy the distance is too ear for him. John of Berwick
and Achyranthes may figure favourably, but I doubt it.
Grey Tommy, at Est 71b,;hias no chance whatever, Knook
Knoll, at the same we;ight, would seem to be almost
as dangerous as his st able companion, Hungerford.
Sister to Clothworker is .g no account. Osborne's mare
Kathleen, at Est 61b, if th eldistance is not too far, ought
to be somewhere aboutjthes mark; she will, however, find
a dangerous opponent in Candlewick at two pounds
loss. Letter-prose, Masham, Pelepidas, Ischia,
Young Troublesome, Carl, and Perjury may be
classed together as a very bad lot, and of no
earthly use. Bardolph, r imagine, will be reserved for
Newmarket. Haresfoot, at sst 71b, ought to be the pick
of Stebbing's stable. Old Rowley, together with In-
gratitude, Janina, Cyclops, Snowdrop, Kate, Urbanity,
the Ratan filly, Czarina, Barbara Bell, Royalty, Uncle
Sam, Eller, and Snarry, will be held perfectly harmless
by the Sally Warfoot colt, sst 61b, Joe Miller, sst 61b,
Follow-me-Lads, sst 31b, Barndale (if he runs) sst 31b,
Ethelwolf, sst, and the Wryneck colt, 4st 111 b.
Having taken a cursory glimpse of the chances of the
lot, from all the accounts I have received, I am induced
to believe that the race will lie among the following .

Elthiron, Kathleen, Candlewick, Haresfoot, Sally War-
loot colt, Joe Miller, Burndale, and Wryneck colt. Of
these I should give the preference to Elthiron, Candle-
wick, and the best of Dawson's youngsters.
CHESTER Cur.—As soon as it was known in town
yesterday that the High Sheriff had won the Trial
Stakes at Lincoln in a common canter, a general rush was
made to get " on" bim for this stake, which rapidly ad-
vanced him from forties to twenties to one, taken freely;
his price this morning, however, cannot be set down at
more than 18 to lat the outside.—l am, Sir, &c.,
