RHYMING RICHARD--Bell's Life.

But prophets, you see, are such resolute thinkers,
That the shadows of doubt arc dispelled at their beck
-A moment too late came the hero in blinkers,
And ARGONAUT'S beaten the crack by a neck.

ORANGE BLossoM, of Bell Life, concludes his dream as
follows :
So Maltou regains her los,jaurels, the Marquis—by Jove I
Tdrelars6--
He shortens his stride—he's compounding—Sam's whale-

bone is raised in the air—
Ile's beat, but the roar of the crowd still louder and wilder

swells yet,
As, clearing the crack, Johnny Armstrong comes on with

the Stock Exchange pet.
A moment they battle—a moment—all over—the conflict is

done,
They fly past the chair locked together, but "Perry" and
CARISBRO OK won.
Confound it—all darkness around—no fire—not a sound in
the street.!
The time—let me see—four a.m.—and cold as a stone my
" poor feet."
The deuce take both Bally and Bell, to them I attribute
the sin
Of keeping-0 dear 1 how my head aches; bad luck to
that last go of gin!

PEEPINC Toni—Bell's Life.
And so they near the distance-post,
Where Carisbrook is done;
John Armstrong, too, has shot his bolt;
The struggle's now begun.
"Lord Glasgow wins I" now rends the air,
And then the aussley Pet;
But Dandy Wets, on Argonaut,
He ain't quite diddled yet.

As thus they racy up to the Stand
The Stockwell colt comes out,
And having settled Buckstone's chance,
"The Stockwell colt," they shout.
The Marquis they to nothing tires,
Though he's dane 'em all but one ;
But the Cherry Jacket comes at last,
And ARGONXIJT has won.

WIDE A.wAßE—Bell's Life.
The " Merry" men have kept their crack
As firm as any rock ;
And should the layers' nerves be weak,
I fear they'll have a shock.

Tho' Carisbrook on Aintree's plain

By Fairwster was beat,
You'll see that on the Leger day
He will.a lot defeat,

Exchequer and the Stockwell colt
May heir to swell the field,
With Hurricane, no end of cash
They'll to bookmakers yield.

Nov if I've read the Fates aright,
To win this glorious race
Back CARISBROOK and BUCKSTONE,
With " Sir Josoph" for a place.

TOUCIIS TONE—Era.

Common sense compeN us to a7ce with the majority of
speculators, and our fiat, in anticipation of the judge, must
be as under :

THE MARQUIS 1
ARGONAUT 2
BERTHA 3

JOE MUGGING' DOG--Era.

Mi tip, guvnor, is ARGONAUT ter win ther grate
Douky-stir Leger ov 1862, an I think mister Muggins ad
better back im to git is Old Kallybar and Krack-take-us
munny back,

STABLE MOUSE--Ent.
My fancy lies between these three :
CARISBROOK, ARGONAUT, and STOCKWELL

COLT.

By-the-by, do you think there is anything in the rumour
I have heard about the very rankest of outsiders—
AMA.TEUR ?

NEmo—Morning Advertiser.
My present opinion is that tho race lies between the
Fyfield Baronet and Lord Glasgow.

AuGun—Sporting Life.
I shall venture to anticipate the judge by placing the firs
three in the following order :
THE MARQUIS 1
JOHNNY ARMSTRONG 2
CARISBROOK

OBSERVER—Field.
THE MARQUIS is bound to win the St. Leger, as is
BUCKSTONE to be second to him.

VATICINATOR—Sunday Times.

Lot me at once and for the last timo say that I fully be,
Hove that the St. Leger of 1862 will be won by
BUCKSTONE.

Should Mr.'Merry's colt be beaten, it will be by THE
MARQUIS, with ARGONAUT close up, third.

FL Y-RY.NIGIIT-- Weekly limes.

Although the favourite has not been successful for this
race since West Australian's year (1853), yet I entertain
considerable confidence that
THE MARQUIS
will, on this occasion, break the charm, and anticipate the
second award being in favour of JOHNNY ARMSTRONG,
with the STOCKWELL COLT close up with the brace.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER-FRIDAY.

For the Great Yorkshire Handicap, speculation was
almost confined to Iladdington and Cowley ; the former
was in great force, but we saw nothing less than 8 to 1
booked. In consequence of a reported accident to Invader,
100 to 1 was offered against him. For the Doncaster St.
Leger, the principal feature was the receding of Exhequer,
against whom 25 to 1 was laid, and 20 to 1 was freely
offered at the close. Closing prices :
