DERBY PROPHECIES.

The following are extracted from the notes of the various
sporting writers in the weekly journals :
Bell's Ltfe.
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 many greater outsiders even than
these. Thus
performances we
have so
last
sa t year
y "good things" to choose
between as to be compelled to fall back upon public form ;
and as th
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
e
of 1864, with Historian and Ely far two good outsiders
likely to get places.

ORANGE BLOSSOM—BeII's Life.
There's still a chance that Fate not yet
Has sealed Cambuscan's doom,
For 'twist 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 DREA3i---BeirS Lye.

" The Chief walks in I" " Cambuscan wins!" 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 big-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

Valiant Mister Muggins wont stand, as he knows wot is
form is. To sum up, guvnor,

FORRIGER or CAMBUSKIN
will win the next Derby.

OBSERVER-FIELD.

I have sketched to the utmost of my ability the claims
of the Derby horses for 1864, 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 THE SCOTTISH Ch lEP or Buten
BROOM; and next to these I think wo shall discover
BARAGAH and COPENHAGEN.

AUGUR-SPORTING LIFE.

General Peel, Birch Broom, Ely, Cambnscan, and

Baragah will defeat all the public horses, and Valiant and
Forager the reputed " flyers" from the dark division. With
Strafford, the stable companion of General Peel, slightly
nibbled at, and even freely supported at the elev3nth hour,

it would still greaily surprise me to find Lord Glasgow
with a superior animal to the Two Thousand winner, and
in coupling
GENERAL PEEL and BIRCH BROOM,

it occurs to me that I may have foretold the winner of the
blue riband of 1864, and, at the same time, lam strongly
inclined to the belief that, if danger spring from an outsider,
the most likely to carry on the charter of this season's " sen-
sation" scenes are Ely or Forager.
