Prophecies

widgeshire.

Illustrated Sporting News.
We have no other alternative but to adhere to our last
week's selection—Catch'em Alive, Limosina, and Roman
Bee, to furnish the victor, and to back for places. If we
have any preference it is for the Irish horse.

OBSERVER—The Field.

Giving every consideration to the respective chances of
all the starters, I cannot help thinking that the result of the
Cambridgeshire will be in favour of Limosina or Summer-
side, and next to them I expect to find Port Royal, Despair,
and Carnival.

VATICINATOR—Sunday 'li'nes.
We build our hopes on Carnival, Gemina, Exchequer, Port
Royal, and Summerside, setting aside Limosina and Catch
'sin Alive, the first and second favourites. Our final award
must be--Exchequer 1, Pert Royal 2, and Suromerside 3,
expecting Carnival to be close behind.

FLY EY-NIGHT— Weekly Times.
At this writing no one candidate presents such a formi•
dablo appearance as Limosina, and for her alone shall I
plump," and her Commendable performance yesterday
week back in the Cesarewitch Stakes fully justifies such
confidence.

TOUCHSTONE—Era.
As the money is now-a-days the great criterion to follow
in picking out the probable winners of big races, we shall
place the first three as follows :—Limosina Grimshaw),
1; Catch em-Alive (S. Adams), 2 ; Port Royal (Crouch), 3.
BEACON—Sporting Gazette.
I believe Carisbrook, Exchequei , B athilde, Limosina, Catch
'em Alive, Despair, and Port Royal, will form the front divi•
sion in this great contest, and in selecting two to stand
upon outright, they must be Catch'em-Alive and Despair.
RHYMING RICHARD—Sporting Gazette.
Many have claims which I name not at all,
On two alone shall my
_fiat fall—
Limosina, peerless, and Carnival
Bell's Life.

' We can come to no other conclusion than that public
running points most distinctly to Limosina as the winner;
but at the same time we cannot help noticing that one of the
strongest and cleverest parties on the Turf are backing
Catch 'em Alive for a great deal of money, and there is just
the chance that Lord Stamford's mare will on Tuesday next
meet a second Lioness, for Catoh'em is backed as freely as the
latter was, and the performances of the two were equally
bad till these weights appeared.
VANGUA RD—Sporting Pilot.
We shall, indeed, be much mistaken if either Catch 'em
Alive, Roman Bee, or The Comet do not turn out the suc-
cessful hero of the 25th Cambridgeshire Stakes tussle ; and
we are quite prepared to see Exchequer run a good horse,
too.

AUGUR-Bporting Life.
I shall range on my side Cariabrook, Summerside, Limo-
Bina, Jack of Hearts, Catch 'em Alive, Roman Bee, Tolurno,
and Comet. Setting this lot down, let me record a final
vote in favour of Limosina and Summerside—next to whom
we way see Cariabrook and Comet.
