SITIENS.

From the way that they've heaved, much shall I be deceived
If Baragah turns out the winner that day;
So, with song now I've greetod the favourites defeated,
And Ely will win every yard of the way
To the front, then, my own pick, my "beautiful Ely,"
To whom " Hotspur" and I so consistently cling ;
'Tie Cus'ance and JILT we all should stand freely—
'Tis their joint success I triumphantly 8:13g ;

PEEPING Tom,
Are all in front; and as they pass
The Stand, you'll hear the shout,
" John Osborne wins !" " Blair Athol wins I"
But Aldroft looking out,
And coming with a rush at last,
Ten thousand voices roar
" LORD GLASGOW'S won the Bellinger
in eighteen sixty-four I

Then theer's you Miner—A'll be boon' gon horse is worth

An' Ely, an' yon Baragah, an Breeze, an' General Peel :
An' Claremont did so badly they say he winna roonn

Suffice to say, the Red House reached, that well-known

voice of Steele
Exclaims in his stentorian tones, "A level 'thou' on Peel I"
But ere the words have left his lips, he would they were

forgot,
For at the distance dying away, the General's bolt is shot ;
But Whitewall's chance lookq rosy yet, for Ashmall's close

at hand,
Now "Baragah," "Blair Athol" now, re-echo through
the Stand ;
They struggle home, both Stockwell's sons, a game and

resolute pair,
But Snowden waits at Ashmall's gitths, and "cops" a
length on Blair.

So, you that have cash "lump it on," and you that havn't

And when you see BLAIR ATHOL win on Doncaster's old

moor,
Remember who 'twas told you right, and think of " Trou-

OBSERVER.

In conclusion, there will no be important changes
in the market before the race comes off, and which may
affect the chances of several animals now in the background.
But if the cracks of the day remain in their positions, and
run as they did in the Derby, I have a strong preposses-
&on that the increased time, and the change in the course,
will be so beneficial to GENERAL PEEL as to enable him
to verify the opinion both of his late and present trainer,
of being by far the beAt three-yr-old of the season, and the
most probable winner of ;,:26 St. Leger. Next to him I
thrill( MINER will be discovered; in spite of my doubts
as to his staying, I should advise my reajers to avoid tak-
ing any liberties with BLAIR ATHOL.

(From the Sunday Times.)
We have a very great respect for Blair Athol and the
overlooked PEON, but we cannot reconcile ourselves to the
idea that either of them will make GENERAL PEEL lower
his colours next Wednesday, for he will have much greater
advantages in the north than ever he had in the south,
where he not only sweated profusely in his preliminary
gallop for the blue riband, but was ridden to a stand still
in the race for that much envied trophy.

AUGUR.

I have now examined every horse's prospect of success,
and consider the struggle confined to four—Blair Athol,
General Peel, Ely, and Miner—and, being bold enough to
anticipate the judge, I shall venture to prognosticate the
three first positions as under—llLAlß ATHOL 1, GENERAL
PEEL 2, ELY 3.
ORLANDO.
Yet the Pitman never quitting, still is sitting, still is sitting,
On the grate as stern as Pluto, and he raps just as before.
And his eyes have all the blinking of a fellow that'd been
drinking,
And he casteth still the shadows of the ashes on the floor,
And ceaselessly he croaketh, as he flings the shadows o'er,
"Back THE MINER—nothing more 1"

(From the Era.)
TOUCHSTONE.
We are strongly prepossessed in favour of Blair Athol
and General Peel, and are most inclined to Ely, Miner,
Baragah, and Coast Guard of the remander, From the
fact of Baragah having been so recently amiss, and the
demonstration that has apparently set in so strongly against
him we do not think him so taking as the other three, one
of whom, wa think, is bound to finish amcng the leading
trio. But they are not so worthy of notice as Blair Athol
and General Peel, and, in accordance with our usual cus-
tom, we shall thus anticipate the fiat of the judge :—GENE-
RAL PEEL, 1; BLAIn ATHOL, 2 ; ELY, 3.

TILE " STABLE MOUSE.
I will now, if you please, "cut for the lead," and this is
the conclusion to which the Stable Mouse has come as to
the St Leger of 1864 :—TIIE MINER, 1; GENERAL PEEL,
2 ; BLAIR ATROL, 3.
