TRIAL OF ANCHORS OF ALL NATIONS.
The committee of management having assembled at
nine A.M. on Thursday, July 1, in the office of Captain
C. Hope, superintendent of the dockyard, at Sheerness,
the following suggestions of the proper qualities for it
good bower anchor, as also the conditions and plans on
which the trials were to be conducted, were read over to
the competitors, and assented to:—
" Proper qualities for a good bower anchor, viz.,
strength; holding, particularly when at a short stay,
and being obliged to make sail; weight, and facility for
stowage; quick holding, sweeping, tripping, fouling
fishing in a heavy sea way, and stowing. •
" FIRST TRIAL PAN.
" At the testing ground in held ockyard a fourfold
purchase to be attached to each anchor, the falls to be
toggled to a pendant and jewel block, with one purchase
to be brought to a capstan.
" The testing ground to be marked for the anchors,
and their turn for trial to be drawn for; from the capstan
those to the right will be marked starboard, and those to
the left port. Numbers to commence from the extreme
ends of the testing ground. The pee of the anchor to
be placed in its berth, according to the number drawn,
and, after testing their burying properties, the cables
(being already rove in the testing blocks) are then to
be triced to the sheerheads, agreeably to the wishes of
the committee, to test their holding qualities with a
short scope of cable.

" SECOND TRIAL PLAN.
" At the testing ground on the beach the same rules
are to be observed as in the dockyard, and another turn
for trial to be drawn for, the pee of the anchor to be
placed at low-water mark, if agreeable to the wishes of
the committee, the purchase to be nearly the same as
that used in the dockyard with one capstan. Hemp
cables to be used if sheers are required; if otherwise,
chain.

" THIRD TRIAL PLAN.
" A mooring lighter to be moored at the Little Nore,
her rudder to be unshipped, the bridles to be of hemp,
attached to the moorings, to be taken in over the stern,
with a sufficient length to veer, if required, 30 or 40
fathoms, the size of the cable to be 15 inches, the moor-
ings to be laid across the tide, in order that the trials
may take place with the flood or ebb tide; another turn
to be drawn for.

of his anchor, weighing 25 cwts. 0 qrs. 8 lbs., induced
the committee to allow it to he tested with one of the
new Admiralty anchors, weighing 30 cwts. 19 qrs. 171bs.
At long scope the Admiralty anchor was drawn 3 ft.

Admiralty anchor came out of the ground at 19 fa 3 in.,
' total distance from first position; Trotman having only
moved 1 in., thus having drawn its opponent 15 ta 5 iu.
Mitcheson's anchor was then tested with Rodgers's

distance of 6 ft. 41 in., while Rodgers's drew 7 ft. 7 in.

FIFTH DAY'S TRIAL.
1. The experiments were commenced by Isaac's Ame-
rican anchor, being tried against Mr. J. Aylen's; at long
scope the former drew 8 ft. 7 in.; Aylen's 2 ft. 5 in. At

2 qrs. In this case at first trial, on a long scope of
cable, Trotman's was dragged by the Admiralty anchor
6 ft. 8 in , the latter dragging 6 ft. 71 in.
On the second trial, at short stay, Trotman's anchor
was tripped out of the ground at 25 ft. total distance from
first position, holding firmly to the last foot of ground.
The total distance dragged by the Admiralty anchor was
10 ft. Ili in., being a distance of 4 ft. 4 in. The Ad-
miralty was drawn during the second experiment. With
this terminated the trial of anchors on dry land. On
Friday, the 16th inst., the second series of trials will
commence on the beach at the back garrison.
Judging from the results attained by the first series
of experiments, it would appear that Trotman's im-
proved Porter's anchor possesses fully 25 per cent. more
holding properties on dry land than any other with
which it has been tried. Mr. Trotman feels confident
that similar results will attend the subsequent trials on
the beach and afloat. Should such be the case, which
we confidently expect, the :abours of the committee will
bo repaid in the feeling satisfaction of having rendered
to the maritime interests of this country, and to hu-
manity generally, a great boon in an improved and
truly efficient anchor, formed on purely scientific prin-
ciples worthy of the age in which wo live. It is impos-
sible to overrate the importance of these experiments
(the first series of which have been brought to a close),
their tendency being the preservation of life and
property.

ENGLISH BARDS IN Igs 0.--If Scott wrote for
gentlemen and yeomen, Moore for society, Byron for what
was blase in society, the English bards of 1850 write for an
audience of poets. No plain man can comprehend them;
their modes of thought and diction require a study to under-
stand, and an apprenticeship to admire. Now, this is pro-
gress in a wrong, that is, in a backward direction. To be
exclusive in not to be great, except in one's own opinion.
This may do for the aristocracy of birth and wealth, but not
for that of talent or genius, which must be
judged and ap
preciated by other voices than those of its own retainers.
The best characteristic of true genius is its universality, its
speaking to all men in their own language, and its winning
all men. —Bentley's Magazine.

SPORTING NOTES.
No. CCLXIII.
THE DERBY OF 1853.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,--It has for several years been a rule of mice to
publish nay remarks on tho candidates for primary
honours for the Derby at the least a year before the time
set down for its decision, and also what I consider the
best yearlings for the Derby following. This plan,
which I started some years ago, more for my own amuse-
ment than anybody else, seemed to take the attention of
a portion of the sporting world, and being the only
writer of such early remarks the public now
look as regularly for the appearance of them,
about the usual time, as they would for any other
fixture: consequently it is now expected of me to
furnish my team for the Derby of 1853, and
my first selection for that of 1854—the latter, in my
opinion, somewhat uncalled-for. These early remarks
of mine have: always been tolerably successful. Two
years ago, for instance, in my first selection for the
Derby of the present year, I gave four horses as being
the most prominent and promising foals of 1849; two of
them, however, went all to pieces, the other two, Daniel
O'Rourke and Claverhouse, ran first and last in the
great race at Epsom, the last-named being amiss, to
which his inglorious position may be assigned.
On the 11th of June last year I gave the following as
the moat attractive foals of 1850:—Lord Fauconberg,
Phryne colt (now tilled The Reiver), Break-o'-day Boy,
Barbelle colt (now called Vanderdecken), Joannina
colt, Friar Tuck, Constantine, and ono or two others,
who did not so much as enter for the race. Of this lot
TILE REITER has already proved his quality, being one
of the hest horses of the day, and about the best in
next year's Derby. Unlike his brother, he stands rather
firm than otherwise on his legs, has larger and more
muscular quarters, possessing great leverage, and at
present rises fifteen hands two inches and a half. VANDERDECKEN I am very much afraid is not likely
to equal his brother the Flying Dutchman in any
i re-
spect, although, as he has never been prepared yet, tis
difficult to judge of his merits. He is a fine looking
horse, and I shall stand by him until I have ocular
demonstration of his incapacity on a hilly course.
Friar Tuck is already, and I am very much afraid the
Joannina colt will be, a failure; and I cannot say that I
entertain a very superior opinion of Constantine, as his
legs are not the best in " hull creation."
Lord Fauconberg's only appearance in public was not
a very crack affair, but as ho was not thoroughly up to
his work, if his running on that occasion is taken by any
one as a criterion of his merits, he will find by his future
performance that he has committed a notable blunder—
nevertheless, he will not win the Derby.
Of all the outsiders commend me to BREAK-O'DAY
BOY, who, in all probability, will turn out a horse of the
Barbarian stamp.
John Scott's hopes it is supposed are centered in West
Australian and Hurworth; the former is unlikely to
accomplish anything, and the latter—a stalky looking
animal—is destined probably to do a great deal, as he
gives every sign of filling up satisfactorily. Lord Egliuton's lot will be represented, as far as pre-
sent appearances speak, by Vanderdecken' Strait Ja'ket
being a particularly valueless brute; and for this race,
Erycthon, Sir Walter, and Cusworth
ar9no better.
John Day's lot this year numbers' a dozen, the majo-
rity of whom are not worth 1001. a piece. Cineas and
Vaultress are by far his best; the latter, however, will
scarcely be pulled out for the Derby, as, in the' first
place, they consider the former to be superior for any
distance greater than three-quarters of a mile; and, in
the next place, as they seem inclined by continued " pre-
parations" to work all the steam out of the filly, I have
but little doubt but that she will be a failure altogether
next year.
Cineas, a horse capable of great improvement, is
sure to be an immense favourite between now and the
day; but as the absolute winner of the " great go,',
cannot for an instant take his chance into consideration.
General Anson's nominations are completely unfor-
tunate; as aro Messrs. E. R. Clarke's, Carew's Drink-
ald's, Delauaere's, Gratwicke's (Sittingbourne said to be
his best, therefore bad is the best), Greville's, Jacque's
(Anglo-Saxon exck pled), Luwley's, and Thompson's.
Stone Plover is not equal to his brother Stilton, and
therefore likely to do nothing in this race.
Peggy gives no sign of ever being equal to her sister
Nancy.
Should Lord Caledon's colt by Simoom, out of For-
tress, train on, we may have a second edition of the
Barbarian game, with this his half-brother; he is a fine
showy colt, and possesses many dangerous-looking
points.
Lord Clifden will find that Glengarry will never stand
training; at least I think so.
Lord Derby's couple, Umbriel and Hobbyhorse, I
fancy will turn out good, but not good enough for this
race.

Dixon imagines, I believe, that he has got a good
horse in his colt out of Sextus.

Of Lord Exeter's string,--Filbert and Cobnut are
supposed to be the best, but they are a queer lot
altogether.

Tamerlane is good enough to win such races as that
at Hampton, but quite out of the polo at Epsom.
Miss Whip's best produce is this year to be found in
Doubletheng ; there is no hope, however, for Lord
Glasgow.

All Sir Joseph Hawley's nominations, scattered here,
there and everywhere, are failures, the lot not being
worth a thousand.

Thero has been some talk of Towton in the north, but
I think his hopes rest entirely on talk.
ORESTES, as fine a specimen of the Orlando blood as
any une could wish to see, is a very dangerous looking
animal, though scsrcely of the sort to bo classed with
The ll2iver.

CHEDDAR I have considerable doubts about ; that
the horse possesses considerable speed is evident to every
one who witnessed his running' at Ascot, but I consider
he is deficient in that great requisite, heart. As an
outsider, however, his chance is not so very forlorn.
The best of Mr. Payne's nominations, I expect, is
Pindus.

Lord Ribblesdale's interest, I fancy, will bo based on
TALFoURD, who is uncommonly like his brother Tad-
mor, and I think it not at all improbable he may turn
out just as well.
The Goodwood stable will no doubt send forth WIL-
LIAM RUFUS as their champion, who is some such an-
other animal as his brother the Conqueror was.
Rataplan and Dupe are the only other two worth men-
tioning: the former is at present out of condition,
and the latter I cannot find out what he is doing, or
what sort of an animal he is in particular.
Such are my present opinions of the candidates for
the possession of the Derby laurels of 1853. Among the
present favourites, of course it will be seen that my pre-
ference is for THE REivEit, and on the outside list in-
clines to BREAK-O'DAY BOY, TALFOURD, and the For-
tress colt; those names that are printed in capitals being
most likely to furnish the future favourites, and the
leading horses in the race.
The entry for the Derby of 1854 closes to-day, con-
sequently I shall defer giving my opinion of the most
promising foals of last year until i have ascertained that
they are entered.—l em, Ste,
