ENCOUNTERS AT EBOR.

The proceedings of the betting fraternity have mate-
rially confirmed the opinions which I yesterday ex-
pressed respecting the Ebor Handicap. To extend my
observations to them would therefore be superfluous ; I
have made my final selection, and am content to abide
the issue. The minor events to be decided to-morrow
now require consideration, and to them I shall direct

attention.
The Dundas Stakes is first on the list, and is likely to
commence the proceedings with an interesting and im-
portant race. It numbers twenty-two nominations, the
most favourably handicapped being, in my opinion, The
Italian and Snowdon Dunhill.
West Australian's absence from York is calculated
upon with considerable/confidence ; the Ebor St. Leger
will, therefore, be added to the catalogue of Sitting-
bourne's many easy triumphs.
For the Yorkshires Oaks, The Queen is nominated
by Mr. Woffenden ; nothing is, therefore, likely to
occur to prevent her starting for that event. May Fair
has incurred a 41b. penalty—an additional weight which
may give the victory to the "roaring" Queen.
The retrogression of Catspaw in the betting on the
Ebor Handicap has induced many persons to regard his
chance for the Chesterfield with much partiality. Not-
withstanding their heavy weights, however, I shall select
Longbow and Hungerford against the field. Of the
lightly penalised division, Broughton appears to be most
formidable.
Neville and Vixen are entitled to the precedence of
the ninety-four horses nominated for the Convivial

Stakes. -
Adine and King of Trumps are old antagonists ; both
are engaged in a 100 sovs. sweepstakes, and should they
again meet an interesting race will be afforded. The
distance—two miles—will militate against the success of
the King of Trumps. With a start, I shall therefore
g
pay my addresses to Adine.
The Queen's Plate and the Selling Stakes closed last
night, but I have not yet received the nominations.
Thursday's list has stron attractions, containing, in
addition to its most prominent "feature "—the Ebor
Handicap—other items to which much interest attaches.
The County Plate I assign to Longbow, and, in the very
probable absence of Ruby, I shall take Dervish and
Weathercock to do battle for me for the Prince of
Wales's Stakes.
For the Hopeful Stakes, I shall hardly miss the mark
with Grapeshot, and shall, perhaps, "bring down" the
Eglinton Stakes with Barrel.
Boiardo is likely to have little difficulty in defeating
Tros for the Colt Sapling-Stakes.
The recent movements relative to the St. Leger have
occasioned mach interest and surprise. West Australian
has received determined opposition, and at one time 6
to 4 was betted against him. His partisans are seem-
ingly little discouraged by this show of hostility, and so
spirited was the support which he received on Monday,
that his "downward tendency" was immediately ar-
rested. Money has been betted that Sittingbourne will
be first favourite " on or before the day."
