SITTINGBOURNE.

The Ascot Derby Stakes of 50 sovs, each, h. ft. ; for
three year olds, Swinley Course, the same as the pre-
ceding ; a mile and a half. Five out of the sixteen have
already paid forfeit. This stake will attract to the post
Orinoco, Cobnut or Filbert, Ninnyhammer, and, per-
haps, his stable companion Blue John making the best
field for the Ascot Derby that we have had for many a
year. According to the previous running, NINNYHAMMER
ought to have just the best of it, with Orinoco and Fil-
bert in the second and third places.
A Sweepstakes of 50 sovs. each h ft, three quarters of
a mile, has two moderate horses in the entry, and one
good one ; but the appearance on the field of action
seems very doubtful on the part of the latter—Lord
Derby's Dervish. The interest of the race will be en-
tirely confined to Lord Eglinton's Lamprocles and Mr.
Payne's Boer, and the tartan jacket will have to look to
it to be seen in advance of the black and white stripe on
the back of Boer, who is a debutante from Dilly's stable.
The third year of the Third Triennial Stakes of 10
sovs. each, once round, sixty-six yards short of two
miles. The field, I understand, will consist of Weather-
gage, Songstress, Convulsion, Glenluce, Harbinger, and
Joe Miller. The result. in consequence of the distance,
will probably favour WEATHERGAGE ; but if he misses
the mark, Songstress will not fail to secure it.

A Sweepstakes of 50 sovs. each will probably be a
walk over for Sittingbonrne, or a compromise made.
