by both Dollar and Welcome. Nuneaton, who had been
"whispered" and backed as a "good thing," made way at
last for his stable companion, Sandal, upon whom a lot of
good money was quietly invested at the nice price of 25
to I—the same as was laid against Argonaut the day
before! The stable started Onesander to secure a pace for
the favourite, and the latter "coming to the rescue" after
his stable companion was done with, it was a true-run race
throughout, the effects of which were apparent on Verger
as soon as anything, as ho ran a long way in trouble, and
had nothing to do with the finish, which, left to Planet
and Sandal, produced almost as fine a contest as that
between Argonaut and The Grinder the day be-
fore, resulting in the victory of Planet by a
length. Dollar ran a great horse up to the
Stand, where the weight told, and giving way at that point
Blackdown and Verger had the honour of contesting the
only remaining situation to which the emolument of
"place money" attached, which the Lewes horse secured
by a head. Planet, who is the joint property of Mr. Craven
and Lord Uxbridge, has hitherto been a most unfortunate
horse, though invariably running sufficiently forward in
great races to distinguish himself in good company—second
in the Clearwell and Prendergast, when two years old;
fifth for the Cesarewitch, and fourth in the Liverpool
Autumn Cup at three ; and second in the Northampton-
shire stakes at four ; and though he pulled off a good stake
for his party and the public his_ joint owners do not land
above X 5,000 a piece.
The Two Thousand Guineas, run at Newmarket to-
morrow, will be the most interesting race of the meeting,
as giving a clue to the probable winner of the Derby.
There has been more mystery attaching to this event than
has ever been known before. What with the knocking
about of Liddington, the scratching of Broomielaw after
having won his trial, and the uncertain starting of Chatta-
nooga and Gladiateur, the sporting writers are in as great a
fog as the horse watchers who saw the reported trial of
Breadalbane and Broomielaw. The field will in all likeli-
comprise most of the following :

Ariel T. Ashmall.
Archimedes F. Martin.
Bedminster Wells.
Breadalbane Custance.
Chattanooga
Gladiateur
Inca, The J. Doyle.
Jack o' Lantern
Joker
Kangaroo
Koenig
Liddington
Pantaloon
Rifle
Tennyson
Tilt
Zambesi

Kangaroo, who was bought in a selling race, and was
purchased by the Marquis of Hastings after his success
over Kceing in the Biennial, is now as good a favourite as
anything in the race. With the exception of Bedminister,
Ariel, Breadalbane, Liddington, Gladiateur, and Chatta-
nooga, he must hold all the rest safe. Bedminster, after
the success of Argonaut, has come with a rush in the
market, as little as 5 and 6to 1 being taken. He will be
steered by Wells, one of the most accomplished jockeys of
the day. Chattanooga is an uncertain starter, but if Mr.
Naylor should determine to bring him out at tho last
minute, I should hold his chance second to none. Bread-
album) is one of the dark division, but I think his action
will be more suited to the Epsom course ; however, his
owner thinks highly of him, and he might run into a place.
Liddington looks and goes well, and those whc‘are taking
liberties with him may have cause to regret it aftezrtdh,se
numbers go up. Ariel will carry the hopes of the

have the best of it before the day of the race. I shall

The Duchess of Newcastle should win the Newmarket

The field for the One Thousand will be made up from
the following:—
