When the muster roll is called, several animals men-

tiuned above will doubtless be missing. The " lot"
whose chances I deem the most formidable comprises
Trout, Miss Mowbray, and Needwood. With a clear
field and no favour, I shall expect to see
MISS MOWBRAY THE WINNER.
Should any accident befall her, however, I shall pin
my faith to Needwood and Trout, my preference
being indicated by the order in which I have set down
their names.

The present unsettled state of affairs relative to the
flat races compels me not to hazard an opinion respect-
ing them. The same reason induces me to maintain
silence with respect to the legitimate events to be de•.
tided at Nottingham. A FRESH MAN.
