The July Meeting promises to--...be• unpaceclentedly74:
dull and uninteresting. To-day Ala proceedings weke-
marked by no incident of sufficient iii)4anm to rouso
the " Ring" into activity. The Ave. 'e Thaby, apit
the insignificant field weakened the attiictiiiii.—ivflich
once centred in the July Stakes. Only three events
"stood," the first race being at a quarter past three,
and the last at a quarter past four ! Indeed the paucity
of sport deterred many intending visitors from making
a journey to head-quarters. Even the "Leviathan"
changed his mind after be arrived at the Shoreditch
station this morning, in order to proceed to Newmarket.
He then suddenly resolved to go to Worcester, where
there was at least a satisfactory promise of sport. He
endeavoured to persuade others to accompany him, but
was unsuccessful, and departed alone, post haste, to
catch the 9.30 a.m. express train.
Scarcely 20 metropolitan speculators were present on
the heath, and there was even a marked diminution
in the attendance of the customary through-thick-and-
thin supporters of Newmarket. The racing requires
little observation. The proceedings commenced with a
Handicap Plate, for which Cheddar was the favourite.
He was, however, beaten by Petrel, after a very fine
race. Indeed, at the whining post, the four competitors
might have been covered with an ordinary sized blanket.
Prior to the race, much delay occurred, before Petrel's
number was placed on the telegraph board, Charlton,
who bad been engaged to ride him, not arriving at the
weighing stand, until within a very few minutes of the
time appointed for the start.

I_ PRICE SD•

The— defeat of Cheddar somewhat discouraged the
backers of Astolfo, and evidently shook their confidence.
The result of the July Stakes was a sore disappointment.
Astolfo ran in front until breasting the bill, when he
was beaten, and from the wide manner in which he
" finished," I am inclined to believe that his disposition
is somewhat currish. Marsyas won cleverly by a neck
the same distance, separating Astolfo from Mirabeau.
Calliope was last. Her running was regarded with some
suspicion ; in my opinion it afforded no trustworthy
criterion of her racing ability. Indeed I was informed
that during the morning something had happened to her,
but I was unable to ascertain whetli this report was
founded on truth. The, moderate quality of the field
for the July Stakes admits of no question.
The result of the race proved the soundness of the in-
formation which was published in The Sun on Monday.
I then cautioned my reaaers -not to place implicit con-
fidence in rumours, and stated that Astolfo's reported
favourable trial was "regarded in certain well-informed
quarters with suspicion," and that at Newmarket it was
" entirely discredited." I also stated that "since Mar-
syas ran at Stockbridge he had gradually advanced into
much favour, and that many shrewed judges deemed
his chance of carrying off the July Stakes by no means
insignificant l"

Nothing has occurred to induce me to alter my opi-
nion on the probable issue of the Chesterfield. I expect
either Brother to Mountain Deer or Lady Audrey to
win. The field is likely to be numerically strong.
Much interest and curiosity is being excited at New-
market by an announcement that a portion of the furni-
ture and other property belonging to Mr. James
Robinson, the jockey, are to be sold by auction on
Friday next. Among the lots to be disposed of are
several valuable paintings by Mireland and Herring.
Mr. Robinson is now a confirmed cripple, having frac-
tured his thigh by falling from his horse in the early
part of last season. He has commenced business as a
trainer, and the success and popularity which are likely
to attend him :n his new capacity will be commensurate
with the deservedly high character which he has enjoyed
fur so many years.

On inquiry I find that Ninnyhaminer's death was
caused by the adhesion of the liver to the side.
Eatwell, the jockey met with a very severe accident
whilst riding at Dymchurch on Monday.

A FRESH MAN.
