"'Tis Naylor wins I" and now "'Tie Cambusean !"
"A thousand on the Chief !" gains no reply,
As Edwards to the General's girths draws nigh,
Now "demon," if there's virtue in that steel,
Let Paris taste the magic of thy heel.
'Tie all in vain—with Scottish Chief contest
A place ; no laurel shall thy brow invest;
For Stamford's horse, and fleet Blink Bonny's son
Finish to GLASGOW, and the race is won I

On, on, they come, the noble four—which shall be first to

fly
"Cambuscan's beat 1" " The General yields !" ten thou-
sand tongues reply,
As fiercely locked in deadly strife, the last of all the band,
Bird; Broom and Scottish Chief come out to finish hand to
hand:
A mighty rush, a mightier cheer, 'tis past, the deed is
done 1—
And twice ten thousand tongues proclaim that SCOTTISH
CHIEF has won 1

Tam RANGER--Sporting Gazette.
Next Wednesday, this BIRCII BROOM will sweep down
the hill,
He'll make all his enemies' pulses stand still;
Not a vestige of hope for them—sad i 3 their doom,
As the "Blue liaband's" twined around Westmorland's
6 BrOCM."

it occurs to me that I may have foretold the winner of the
blue riband of 1864, and, at the same time, I am 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.

We have carefully watched the market, and analysed the
merits of the animals, and can arrive at no other fiat than
that

BIRCH BROOM
will win the Derby, having CAMBUSCAN and GENE-
RAL PEEL next to him.

Illustrated Sporting News.
From the above brief but careful analysis it will be
gleaned our impression is that Birch Broom, Cambuscan,
Coastguard, Ely, Forager, General Peel, Historian, Paris,
Princ Arthur, and Scottish Chief are the creme de la creme
of the Derby horses; and we are quite confident that Birch
Broom, Cambuscan, General Peel, and Scottish Chief will
be found the best quartette on the eventful afternoon. Re-
ducing these to a couplet let us stand or fa:l by
BIRCH BROOM AND CAMBUSCAN.
