weights, varying from sst to fist 71b; this year, how-

subscription of 25
sovs. each, 15 ft, and only sif declared,
over
Leger Course, a distance of one mile furlongs
and 132 yards. Out of an entry numbering n
less than seventy-nine, the owners of fi
o
only have declared themselves satisfied
with the weights placed upon their horses. Russbo-
rough heads the list, as he has done for many handicaps,
though for what reason I cannot discover. His chance
here, if he runs, is an inferior one, and so is his neigh-
hour Chief Justice, who is weighted at 21bs. less.
Nancy, 4 yrs, Bst 31b, were she in form, would be a set-
tler; but as she is not, she must be content to finish in
the ruck. Prime Minister, at Bst 31b, has, I fancy, a
few pounds too much to carry; and Truth, at a pound
less, is by no means well in, the Premier having her as
safe as possible. Miss Ann's day seems' to have passed
away, without she is being quietly bottled up for some-
thing. At 7st 121 b, although a six years old, I cannot
fancy her. Alonzo, 5 yes, 7st 111 b, were the course a
little shorter, would be very dangerous ; as the case
stands I cannct place any faith in him. Frantic, although
an out-and-outer, at 7st 61b, has considerably too much
to carry for a three yrs old. Trickstress, 4 yrs, 7st 61b,
is not likely to play off the winning trick on this occa-
sion. Hungerford is leniently treated by the handi-
capper, only bat 81b having been awarded to him; but I
very much doubt his capability of finishing in front.
The Proctor, at the same weight as the Alp (6st 51b),
will have to make place for the latter, who if
he never possessed a chance of winning before,
has one now ; for I should say his six years
old back cannot be broken by the feathery weight that
he has to carry. Koh-i-noor, 3 yrs, Est 51b, is on the
forlorn list. Story-teller, 4 yrs, Est 41b, is moderately
well off, but I think he has his superiors in Obis bout
among the light-weighted class. Scarecrow, if they
mean him for the Cesarewitch, which I presume de-
pends upon the weight, will not appear before the eye
of the public at Doncaster. The Knight of the Garter,
4 yrs, Est 31bs, is treated by the handicapper in a man-
ner that will enable his noble owner to have a pod
chance of cuffing off this handicap, and thereby make
some amends for his St. Leger catastrophe. Jack
Leeming, a most mysterious animal, who can run if he
likes, but generally has a strong objection to exerting
himself, at sst 131 b, is let loose. Alfred the Great, the
only three yrs old with any pretension.to winning this
stake, is a doubtful starter; should he run, however, his
chance is not the most forlorn imaginable. Larry
Whent, 3 yrs, sst 31b, has shown some running at times,
but will not do for this spin. Lady Harriett and Cap-
tain Flash, as knowing little or nothing about, I shall
pass over. Strong must be the mind of that person
that could for an instant conceive that a horse delighting
in the cognomination of on—a t oug.weig te
Imag
inati 1 h h h d
only at sst for a four yrs old—has theremotest chance of
catching the judge's eye in aleading position at the
finish of the race. The T • WII3 4 yrs, 4st 101 a nicely
bred filly by Ithuriel, out of b Columbine,
'
made a couple
of exhibitions at Forthallerton last being bowled
over in one instance by that wretched son
Diddler, the Ebor, and in the other by Joon of Jeremy
ghratulation.
This year she made her first appearance in
the Sheffield and Rotherham Handicap at the
eorace for
where, with Est 131 b up, she ran, to the best of my
re-
collection, seventh and last to the Surveyor. At Dunir-ha
in May, she mended her running considerably, for,
car-
rying Bst 21b, she ran a fair second to Miss .Flyaway,
same age and weight, for the Maiden Plate, beating,
among others, Burndale, 7st; Agnes Wickfield, Est 111 b;
The Red Lion, 7st; Mickleton Maid fitly, Est 11lb; and
Lindrick, 7st. I have entered into these particulars
about this filly, knowing full well that she will be an
immense favourite. She has improved considerably
since her last performance, and, if she cannot run close
up on this occasion, ought to be turned out as a common
hack at once. Bilberry, 3 yrs, 4st 91b, seems to have
a disinclination to win a great handicap, no matter how
favourably she may be treated as to weight; she is
rather dangerous, however, to stand against. The Infi-
delity filly, at 4st 71b, is likewise in well; but
the animals she will have to meet here are of a grade
superior to her. On looking over my scraps of informa-
tion, I find that the batch most likely to dispute the
point of honour at the finish will consist of Alp, the
Twin, and the Knight of the Garter ; and if I place
the last-named two first and second, those positions ap-
proach the nearest, in my imagination, to what will be
the result.

In summing up yesterday on the Leamington Stakes,
I gave the pride of place to Lady Evelyn and Hugo ;
I must now put Cleveland in Hug position, and at
the same time declare it to be my firm conviction that
Cleveland will take an immense deal of beating.
I am, Sir, &0.,

CAPTAIN SHEPHEARD.—At the Marlborough-
street police Court, yesterday, a gentlemen applied to Mr.
Bingham for an order to deliver into his keeping Captain
Shepheard, at present in prison for want of sureties. The
applicant said he was prepared to send Captain Shepheard to
Hasler as soon as released. Mr. Bingham was very glad to
hear that the captain's friends had done that which it would
have been more desirable had it been done some months
ago. He would readily do all in his power to get Captain
Shepheard placed in proper hands.

hag separated.
