BEACON—Sporting Gazette.

Two THousAND.—I expect to see Hospodar win, and
trusting to this year's public form that Macaroni and the
Physalis colt will occupy the two next places.

ONE THOUSAND.—Tornado and L idy Augusta per-
formed equally well last year, and as the fcrmer, who is
own sister to Avalanche and Hurricane, is the best bred to
stay, I give the preference to Tornado.

RHYMING RICHARD Sporting Gazette.
Fast to the front with slashing stride
Comes on the Frenchman's "crack,"
Small chance to snap him on the post
With Fordham on his back I
Though Maccaroni struggles on,
The race is fairly done,
Just as he likes he leaves them all,
And Hospodar has won

FLY-BY-NlGHT—Weekly Tones.

Two THOUSAND.—This trio will share between them
the rewards distributable by the judge, who may
possibly be called upon to place them in the follow-
ing order :—Hospodar, 1; Blue Mantle, 2 ; Rapid Rhone,
3. But it must be distinctly understood that I have no
hesitation in awarding the premiership to the Frenchman.
ONE THOUSAND.—SO much uncertainty is attached to
fillies at this season of the year, that it will suffice to elect
three to defy all corners in the One Thousand Guinea
Stakes, namely, Amelia, Lady Augusta, and Tornado, and,
as I remarked on the 3d of January, " I infinitely prefer
Lady Augusta to any other of the list of five trained by
Jos. Dawson, who, it must be universally acknowledged,
was the best of her year."
VATICINATOR—Sunday Times,

Two THOUSAND.—It only remains for us to summarise
our impressions, which we shall do thus :—Hospodar, 1;
Saccharometer, 2; Blue Mantle, 3.

ONE THOUSAND.—Tornado and Lady Augusta have
figured the most respectably in public, whilst we hear a
favourable account of the improvement worked in Lord
Glasgow's unnamed filly. We, therefore, make our elec-
tion as follows :—Tornado, 1; Lady Augusta, 2; Brown
Bess filly, 3.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

EPSOM SPRING MEETING, FRIDAY.

In spite of the continued fine weather the attendance to-
day was not equal to that which was attracted by the City
and Suburban yesterday. Still a goodly crowd mustered
on the stands and at the cords, and we need scarcely say
that the " ring" was composed of the identical members
who attended before. In the evening Adventurer had
changed owners, Mr. Crook, of Manchester, investing 1,900
soya upon him, which had the effect of sending him back
slightly in the betting, Bedouin starting an equal favourite
with him. It is rather remarkable that he and Umpire
should have finished exactly in the same relative places as
they occupied yesterday, and that the extra distance
should have affected both in the same degree, as the Ame-
rican horse is well known to be averse to a distance of
ground. Curiously enoug ti, not a single three-3r-old came
to the post, the runners being confined to two five-yr. olds
and eight four-yr-olds. Alerte, who had crossed the
Channel from France during the early part of the week,
was a good deal fanoied, from ber easy victory at Paris
last Sunday, but her fighting style of going did not take
our fancy for so trying a course, and the event proved that
her staying powers were not " equal to the occasion." The
winner was not backed by his owner to any amount ; and,
indeed, little money was lost about him, " the ring" thus
recovering some portion of their losses upon Adventurer
yesterday. No general interest attached to any of the other
events, and Molly Carew not being pulled out for the Wal..
ton Stakes the horses engaged were all quite of a second
class.

The Waterloo Plate of 50 sovs, added to a handicap sweep-
stakes of 5 sovs each, for all ages ; winners 51b extra.
Three-quarters of a mile.
Mr. Hodgman's Libellous, 6 yrs, Bst 121 b (Hughes) 1

Sir W. Codrington's Bosh, 4 yrs, Sst 21b (S. Adams) 3
Mr. B. Kinsella's Jolleen Rhue, 3 yrs, 7st 71b (Hibberd) 4
Mr. Edward's Warrener, 4 yrs, 7st
Betting-5 to 4on Libellous, and 3to 1 agst Necro-
mancer.

A long delay occurred at the post, and in one of the at-
tempts Warrener ran to the stand before he could be
stopped. At length the flag fell, and on coming in sight
Colleen Rhue had a slight lead, with Libellous and Necro-
mancer abreast, close up, B:sh and Warrener being a long
way behind. Below the distance Libelous took the lead,
and he was joined by Bosh opposite the star d, Colleen
Rbue lying third. Between the two stands Necromancer
and Bosh both passed the Irish mare, the race being con-
fined to these four, Libellous going in an easy winner by a
length ; Bosh a bad third.
The New Two-year-old Stakes of 10 soya eacb, with 50
added; for 2-yr-olds; colts, Bst 71b ; fillies, Bst 41b.
Winners extra. Three quarters of a mile. 19 subs.

Mr. Hill's Ackworth, Bst 71b (A. Day) 3

The following also ran—Lady Island, Starbeatn, Pegasus,
and Brother Jonathan.

Betting-7 to 4 agst Ackworth, 7to 2 (at first 2to 1) agst
Pegasus, 5 to 1 agst the Phemy filly, and 6 to 1 agst Sister
to Wing.
A capital start brought the whole seven horses into view
close together, Sister to Wing making play, with Phemy,
Starbeam, Lady Maud, and Ackworth following, in the
order named, round the tarn. At Tattenham-corner Lady
Maud went in front, Sister to Wing and the Phemy filly
lying next on the lower side, with the favourite close up.
Here the latter, who was unable to act from the hardness of
the ground,ran out, losing two or three lengths, his example
being followed by Starbeam, and leaving the three leading
horses to come on by themselves, Lady Maud still holding
the first place, with the Phemy filly and Sister to Wing in
close attendance on the lower side, Ackworth and Pegasus
following in the middle of the course. At the distance
Pegasus retired beaten, and soon afterwards, Lady Maud
giving way, the Phemy filly and Sister to Wing came on
together to the stand, where Daley, with a ffne display of
riding, got a sight lead, and went in a clever winner by
three-quarters of a length ; four lengths between the second
and third. Pegasus was a length from Ackworth, Star-
beam filth, and Lady Maud sixth.

The Balailava Stakes of 5 sous each, with 30 added, for
2-yr•olds and upwards. Weights for age, with selling
allowances. Half a mile. 11 subs.

4thoelr.agst Bangle,
tf-Walse starts were caused by the fractiousness of
6Wt BBe° lee:lth: aierngra :81 —6
who threw Bradford in returning from the first,
and galloped to the padd( ck before he could be caught, The
second time also he went past the stand, but at length
settled down, and allowed the flag to drop to a middling
start, Junius and Warwick losing a deal of ground. Lava,
Gazelle, Argus the Exile, and Baliverne got off in front;
