EAST RIDING.

Then theer's yon Miner—A'll be boon' gon horse is worth
a deal—
An' Ely, an' yon Baragah, an Breeze, an' General Peel :
An' Claremont did so badly they say he winna room :
Boott A'll be theer an' all, A reckon, A'll be theer for
t' feenn.

Woon o' yon'e to win, A reckon, 'an' gin it worn't be
Breeze,
'T 'ull be a 'oss a laike her as chalk is laike to cheese ;
Boott A'll lay a croon o' GEWRIL PERL—A reckon he'll
be t'weonn :
Boott A'll tell ye more about it when A've been an aeon
t' foonn.

TROL BADOTJR.

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

voice of Steele
Exclaims in his stentorian tones, "A level 'thou' on Peel 1"
But ore 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 looks 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 girths, and "cops" a
length on Blair.

So, you that have cash "lump it on," and you that have

—borrow ;
Believe me, you will not have cause to rue it on the mor

row;
And when you see BLAIR ATUOL win on Doncaster's old

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

OBSERVER.
In conclusion, there will no doubt 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-
sion 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 winrer of the St. Leger. Next to hire► I
think MINER will be discovered; but in spite of my doubts
as to his staying, I should advise my readers to avoid tak-
ing any liberties with BLAIR ATnoL.

(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, bt was ridden to a stand still
in the race for that much envied trophy.

(From the Sporting Life.)
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—BLAlß, ATHOL 1, GENERAL
PEEL 2, ELY 3.

ORLANDO.
Yet the Pitman ne Ter 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 follow that's been
drinking,
And he oasteth 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 l"

(Fran the Era.)
TOUCHSTONE.
We are strongly prepoesessed in favour of Blair Athol
and General Peel, and are most inclined to Ely, Miner,
Baragah, and Coast Guard of the remainder. From the
fact of Baragah having been Co 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, we think, is bound to finish among 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-
gm, PEEL, 1; BLAIR ATHOL, 2; ELY, 3.
THE " 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 :—THE MINER, 1; GRNERPEEL,
2; J3Liali ATRoL, 3.
