ANSWER TO CORRESPONDENT.

TYRO.—The horse is, I believe, going on as well as
his most sanguine backers could desire. Of his trainer's
ability no doubts exist. I should certainly advise you
to get out of your money on the first favourable oppor-
tunity, if you have made up your mind not to " stand
it." In the course of a few days I shall devote =article
to the consideration of the Derby chances.
