CAPE FLYAWAY.

The most important of the two year old races is the
Seventh North of England Biennial, in which the immense
number of 75 youngsters are engaged. Of these, 21 only
have yet run, the majority of them with very indifferent
success, as the only horses which have won are the colt by
Windhound out of Elcot's dam, Formidable, Le Marechal,
Abernethy, Fanfaron, Old Orange Girl, National Guard,
King of Utopia, and Zapateado, and that any one of them
is entitled to a first-class certificate I much question.
Among the dark horses are four which have been already
backed pretty heavily for the Derby, namely, Michael Scott
(own Brother to Wizard) ; Avenger, by Vindex out of
Eastern Princess's dam ; Trojanns, by Fandango out of
Troica, by Lanercost ; and Muffler, by Fazzoletto out of
Caricature, only the first and third named of which are
likely to run. None of the winners abovenamed will have
to carry anything additional, the amount won by them
being below the specified sum (£500), whereby they would
have incurred a penalty of £5; but they, as well as the
dark division, will nevertheless run on worse terms
with the beaten horses, an allowance which will hardly in-
duce many of the latter to take a trip to York, so indifferent
have been their several performances. With such means
of trying as John Scott possesses through Orange Girl,
Lord Stamford through Livingstone, Lord Uxbridge
through General Hess, and Mr. Bruce through the tackle
which found out Lord Clifden, none of them ought to
make any mistake.

The two-yr-olds engaged in the Prince of Wales's Stakes
are for the most part " dark," as only Escape, Lorette
Lady Louisa, Ennerdale, Miss Armstrong, and the filly by
Loup • Garou have as yet been in public, the three former
successfully, for which each is penalised, Escape and
Lorette slb, and Lady Louisa 71b, having won twice. Lord
Stamford's Somerled is engaged, but v, ill not run.

The Raweliffo Stakes- must fall to either Pratique or
Corintha, as Lord Clifden will be reserved for the Cham-
pagne Stakes at Doncaster.

The Filly Sapling must be carried off by Lady Augusta,
the Ebor St. Leger by Lord Glasgow's colt by Barbatus
out of Clarissa ; ihe Hopeful by St. Alexis, and the 500
match by Santhal.

The list for the last day is of the same extent as for the
first—, leven races—which will necessitate an early com-
mencement to enable the company to commence their jour-
ney homeward on the same afternoon. The Great York.
shire Stakes, usually the most interesting item in the after-
noon's sport, will not on this occasion excite much curiosity,
as its result cannot affect the St. Leger betting, owing to
none of the " cracks" being engaged. Those from whom
the field is sure to be selected are Zetland, Neptunus, Town
Councillor (or Haddington), Vanguard, Bonny Breastknot
Scandal, North Pole, Harlequin, and Picador (or Gari-
baldi), and it needs no sorcerer to point out Zetland as the
certain winner.

The Cup, in which are entered nearly all the best horses
of the day, needs no lengthened discussi, n, as it seems to
me, owing to Zet land having a better engagement on the
same day, to be reduced to a certainty for Carbineer, as he
alone, save Ivanhoff, is the only horse that ever fairly
buckled Tim Whiffler.

A FRESH MAN.
