orrow. There
are thirty races to be decided. The Great Yorkshire
Handicap has a very fair acceptance. The field will be
made up from the following :—Planet, 4 yrs, Bst 121 b ;
Ackworth, 4 yrs, Bst 71b ; Hippolyta, 4 yis, Bst 51b ; Gra-
titude, 5 yrs, Bst 41b ; Dalby, 4 yrs, Bst 21b ; Claremont,
4 yrs, Bst llb Dunkeld, 5 yrs, , 7st 121 b ; Nightwatch,
yrs, 7st 31b ; Nemo, 4 yrs, ist 21b ; Verdant, 3 yrs, Est
101 b ; Brindisi, 4 yrs, 6st. 91b ; Swordsman, 3 yrs, Est 81b.;
La Fortune, 3 yrs, Est 71b ; Holstein, 3 yrs, sst 121 b.
Immediately the weights appeared Claremont was selected
as the favourite from the close run he made with Verdant
in the Ebor Handicap. He has now 51b the best of the
weights with the latter, and, from the improvement the
horse has made since, he is bound to finish in the front rank,
if he does not turn out the actual winner. Ackworth, from his
easy victory over Success and Pearl Diver, must have a great
chance, but he had better be left alone at present, as he has
lately become very fishy in the market, otherwise he would
have been one of my selections. Hippolyta ran well last
year, has 21b less to carry than Ackworth, and was always
considered to be better than Breeze at level weights.
The most dangerous of the light division are Brindisi,
Swordsman, and Holstein. Swordsman will be ridden by
J. Grimshaw, and if this is his journey in preference to
tine Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire he will be difficult
to dispose of. Holstein has now superseded his stable
companion Brindisi in the market, but I would rather
trust the latter. The winner, however, will be either
CLAREMONT or Ilipron-TA. The Glasgow Stakes Chibisa
or Lord of the Vale will win ; and the Filly Stakes Gretna
will have no difficulty in securing. Queen of Trumps or
Liddington will win the Revival Plate. Primate and
Lord Lyon are the most trustworthy pair in the Champagne
Stakes, giving a slight preference to the former. The
great race of the meeting is the St. Leger, which comes off
on Wednesday. The field will be very limited, in conse-
quence of the immense support awarded to Gladiateur, the
winner of the Two Thousand and Derby. A strong body
of the most noteworthy members of the Pugilistic Associa-
tion, headed by the celebrated Jerry Noon, have been en-
gaged as a guard to protect the French horse from any
hostile demonstration that may be made at the weighing-
room. The most of those quoted under are likely to face
the starter :

Gladiateur has beaten every horse in the race, with the
exception of Klarinske. and The Duke. His easy victory
in the Derby, after being shut in at Tattenham Corner,
where he lost several lengths, stamps him as the best throe-
yr-old of his year. Klarinska and Regalia are about one
and the same, as the former won the Yorkshire Oaks and
Great Yorkshire Stakes quite as easily as Regalia won the
Oaks. Peeress, although she defeated Klarinska at Good-
wood, must succumb to the latter on the present occa-
sion. Breadalbane may run a better horse than
he did in the Derby, as it is impossible to tell
how good he may be, especially considering the parties
who had the management of him. Witness the out-and-in
running of Blink Bonny in the One Thousand Guineas in
1857, who belonged to the same division, and was backed
1-sr pounds shillings and pence by the public, but in the
race run 110,o—ie. which was won by Imperieuse. Three
or four weeks afterwma. Blink Bonny carried off the
Derby, and on the Friday following won the Oaks, beat-
ing Imperieuse by nearly a quarter of a mile. Thou cams
the Leger, for which Blink Bonny was made a hot favou-
rite, but she had to lower her colours to Imperieuse. They
may have been fair run races, but " Miles's Boy" is very
apt to think otherwise. It is needless to discuss the
merits of the other horses engaged, as there really seems
only four horses in the race, viz., Gladiateur, Klarinska,
Regalia, and Breadalbane. The judge, I anticipate, will
place

THE APPOINTMENT OF CAPTAIN SIR F. LEOPOLD
APCLINTOCK TO BE A COMMODORE OF THE 2D CLASS AT
JAMAICA, in succession to the late Commodore Peter Ora-
croft, is one which cannot fail to give satisfaction to the
service. Sir Leopold has completed his 34th year in the
navy,
having entered it in 1831. He passed his examina-
tion for lieutenant in 1838, but, being without political in-
terest, he was not promoted until 1845. He was advanced
to the rank of commander in 1851, and was promoted to be
a captain in 1854, owing to his great merits, and in defe-
rence to the public will. Sir Leopold's career is one of too
recent a character to require any fresh notice, but we can-
not refrain from alluding once more to the happy knack
which he possesses in rendering his officers and men com-
fortable. The Aurora, while under his command, has
been an example which may be well followed. She has
been always contented and well disciplined—the model of
a British man-of-war. We can say nothing higher in
praise of her captain and her crew.—Army and Navy Ga-
zette,
INGENIOUS DEVICE.—A gentleman near Ware-
ham, in Dorset, who has a small field in which there aro
crops of carrots and mangold Wurzel with which hares and
rabbits have been making free, has put a dog's house in
the field for the accommodation of a small puppy. The
puppy is loose by day, and he barks all night long. ',Chia
effectually scares away the hares and rabbits.
