The present Cesarewitch will always be distinguished by
the manner in which Silkstone leaped into the premiership
soon after the acceptances were declared, and remained in
that difficult position without interference for so long a
time. And really beyond her, Umpire and Henham Lass,
scarcely anything else has been backed with spirit, or be-
yond a trifling amount. Knutsfurd will beat all the top
division, as he has shown us repeatedly he can stay every
yard of the way, and has won several handicaps in good.
company. Umpire is a tremendous favourite from the
manner in which he finished before Wallace, Optimist,
Amy, and Bedouin, in a trial at Newmarket last week, and
Mr. Ten Broeck regards the race as over, with the ex3ep-
tion of having to beat Silkstone. This he may have a right
to do, by what he has seen Umpire do, and his animals are
good enough to tell him correctly. Aurelian's best perfor-
mances have always been over a mile and a quarter. Fault-
less has been nicely put in, and as Mr. Bryan's horses are
all in form, there is just a chance of this mare running very
forward. Doefoot will, of course, be subservient to Silk-
stone, so I will pass on to Stradella, who has lately won
three good races in a manner that makes me think,
in the absence of the favourites, she would have an
excellent cbance of winning now. But it is almost too
much to expect from her to give near two stone to Silkstone.
Millionaire, being in Mr. Bryan's string, may assist Fault-
less ; but I do not consider him to be good enough for any
other purpose. Flirtation is represented to be wonderfully
fit, and her trainer is confident of at least getting a place
with her. Feu de Joie's weight seems at first sight to be
too much for her; but when it is recollected how she beat
the two Oaks mares, Hurricane and Imperatrice, in a can-
ter at Epsom, and also defeated Zetland for the York Cup,
it could hardly have been less. On the heath no mare gets
better ; and when the rottenness of the field, with few ex
ceptions, is taken into consideration, she must be admitted
to have a great chance, and her York exhibition at once
negatived her inability to stay. Loiterer, from being beaten.
in his trial, I cannot fancy, and I can see no reason for
being fond of Wingrave. Upon Henham Lass many per-
sons put their faith, and Mr. Bevill makes no secret of his
belief that if the mare runs to her form at home, she will
win vet y easily. Of course Audrey has been the school-
mistress, but she is very uncertain, and I think, moreover,
that Henham Lass wants heart to struggle home, so I will
not stand upon her on this occabion. Anonyma would
gallop for a week, but however essential staying powers
are in the Cesarewitch, a trifle of speed is also needed
with them, and in this I fear Lord Glasgow's filly is
greatly deficient, The Queen of Spain may run to
further the interests of Hartington, who will carry the
stable money. Catch-'em-Alive has almost gone out of the
market, as it is discovered to be impossible for him to beat
Silkstone. Agag is by his trial the best of Mr. Naylor's
lot, and if so he will be very formidable. At home he can
do wonders, but in a crowd he will never try; still, if he
runs kindly this time, he will „be sure to find his way into
the first flight. My Mary and Haddington have been per-
forming respectably at Kelso, and the latter even with his
101 b. penalty is certain to take a prominent part in the race,
Of Lord Coventry's four Balder alone seems to be trusted
by his lordship, and as he lately did all they asked him
most satisfactorily he has naturally come to a very short
price, and I believe he will very nearly reward the patience
of his noble owner, who has given his horse as well as his
trainer every fair play, as Balder has not been in public
since he ran for the Two Thousand. Corona has no chance
in such company. Boabdil has broken down, and Balhato
is useless. Attaman ran well enough at Bedford to bring
him into notice here, when the difference of the weights is
considered; but I have seen no move in his favour; and
Bedouin ought to be behind Umpire, if the trial is correct.
Watchman has been watched for, but I think he has had
too much taken out of him to come again so soon. Silk-
stone, it will be recollected, was tried to win the Chester Cup
almost to a certainty, but tailed in getting off, and never got
through her horses until the race was nearly over, and then
she was fifth to good horses. Her subsequent running
was certainly not sufficient to warrant her being backed se
for this event, save the way she ran with Tim Whiffler and
Asteroid at Doncestor, for which race she was started for
a public trial. Although beaten in that race, the way she
stayed with the pair is quite sufficient to cause her to be
the first favourite now, with so light a weight upon her.
She has, moreover, I hear, wonderfully improved: and lost
the temper she showed in the spring, and, with Grimshaw
upon her, she ought to be near winning. Hartington
was tried to be a racehorse in the spring, but went amiss ;
he is now all right, and his owner is confident he will prove
worthy of his real reputation, although be is not sure of
beating the favourite. The others are not worth discuss-
ing; but Highflyer, if worth being kept in training, ought
to get somewhere near the front rank.
From the above, it will be seen, that I expect the judge
will hoist the number of
UMPIRE,

with FORDIIAM in the saddle as the winner of the Cesare-
witch,nedearhl and that SiwiszoNE and BALDER will occupy tllO
second and th,rd places.
