ANALYSIS OF THE SEVENTY-FOURTH DERBY.
Since writing my last notes on the Derby, I have as-
certained that one of Osborne's lot, the b. gelding Mo-
cassin, who I stated was out of training, is to be put into
work very shortly. Having considered the Malton and
Middleham stables to the satisfaction, I hope, of my
readers, I will next turn my attention to those located
at Richmond, Beverley, Hambleton, and Gullane, corn•
mencing with

J. GILL'S,
at tho first named place.
Mr. Thompson's b. c. GUICOWAII, by Galaor out of
Pharmacopeia, has run four races, in two without ob-
taining a place but in the other two—both Consolation
Scramble Stakes did manage, somehow or other, to
finish fourth : an original kind of consolation to his
owner, certainly, for loss of cash in training such a brute.
Mr. Thompson's b. c., by Hindoo or Galaor out of
Stephanie, is much such another animal as the preceding,
and good for but little. Has not run.

Mr. J. Gill's c. h. gelding, by Birdcaicher out of Flower
of the Tees, is a fourth class horse. Has run once—
fourth to the Hatchet for the Wright Stakes at Richmond.
Mr. Thomas' b. a. BEVERLIC (late young Beverlac),
by Beverlac out of Glance, by Venison, is a horse that
will figure to advantage among the third rates, and is
probably the best of the Derby horses in training at
Richmond ; which, I take it, is paying him a left-handed
compliment, as any of the lot, even allowed a stone,
would have but little chance of winning. He has started
thrice, and ran moderately well on each occasion.
E. ELLIOTT,

of Sylvis-house, Richmond, has only a solitary Derby
nag in training—his own br. c. DONSKOY, by Hetman
Platoff, dam by Blacklock—sister to Barefoot, who
made his only appearance in public at Durham, when
he passed the post for the Hopeful Stakes (won
.by
Exact) about last of all. As a matter of coutso•will not
do for the "great go."
C. WINTRINGHAM, •
of Richmond, also has only one Derby horse under,his
care, Mr. Singleton's b. i. TRIO, by lago out of Actual
(Brown Fly's dam), who will not pass muster for the
Derby, but may for some of the small Handicaps. Has
not started.

JAMES ARMSTRONG,
of Beverly, has a trashy animal of Mr. H. Brown's at work,
'yclept BROTH OF A BO; by Fancy Boy out of Clorinda.
nominated by Mr. R. Hebblethwaite. The Boy has
started once, when he was beaten easily for the Bishop
Burton Stakes at Beverley, won by Anne Eliza.

G. NOBLE,
of Beverley, has a ch. c. called the CURFEW, by Red
Deer out of Sunset, nominated by Mr: Wilkins, in
training. The present proprietor's name I have been
unable to ascertain, but believe it to be Capt. Reynard.
Any information on this score will be gladly received.
Has not appeared in public, but is reported to be a rao,
derate animal, and useful only for short distances.

It. HESSELTINE,
of Hambleton-house,_ has Mr. C. Harrison's b. c.
MIRK PARVIN, by Young Professor, dam by Voltaire,
out of Golden Drop, at work. This colt is of no ac-
count, and in the only race he figured could not manage
to obtain a place.

- HENRY STEBBING,
of Ilambleton, has four Derby nags in preparation,
not one of which, however, in my opinion, will go to
Epsom. They are Mr. J. B. Morris's b. c. KING DAVID,
by Assault out of the Slayer's Daughter, bought at
York when a yearling for 125 guineas, a runner in four
races, and winner in none ; Mr. J. B. Morris's br. c.
YOUTHFUL DAYS, by Birdcatcher out of Playmate, a
runner thrice, and, like the preceding, on each occasion,
a loser ; Mr. Knowles's b. c. TALFOURD (own brother to
Tadmor), by lon out of Palmyra, nominated by Col.
Peel, who was thought so much of when a yearling that,
at the sale of Col. Peel's stud, lie was bought in for
1,200 guineas, has appeared before the public thrice,
and been defeated easily each time ; and Mr. KNowLzte
ch. C. OSIRIS, by Slane out of Jo, nominated by Col.
Peel, who has not run as yet, and is probably the best
of the quartette. I entertain, however, but very little
hope of his being any better than that notorious im-
postor Lapidist, to whom he is half-brother.

J. THRIFT,
of Gullane, has Capt. Key's b. c. THE MAJOR, by Cother-
stone, out of Drum Major's dam, nominated by Lord
Exeter, in training. Tho horse has not run as yet,
and when he does will be found to be but a third-class
