For the Ham Stakes—Tingle, Bst 41b; Harum
Scarem, Bst 41b; Cora, Bst llb; Narbonne, Bst 41b;
Hardinge, Bst 101 b; or Longinus, Bst 71b; The Italian,
Bst 10lb; and colt by Epirus, out of Mickleton Maid,
Bst lolb, with perhaps another or two, are all that are
likely to run. If the running of Tingle, and The Italian
at Liverpool was true, the filly in this race, the course
being longer (three-quarters of a mile), must perforce
have the best of .t. I expect to see Cora, the Epirus
colt, and Colonel Peel's nag, in the immediate rear of
the winner.
Casachis, 5 yrs, Bst 41b; Wallflower, 3 yrs, 6st 91b;
and Rattrap, 6 yrs, Bst sib, look the best on paper for
the Orange Stakes. And Cariboo, bat 71b; Versus Mirror,
Bst 71b; and Crucible, Bst 71b; versus Buffalo Gal,
Bst 21b, over the T.Y.C. for their respective matches.
Four of Wednesday's races, the Stewards' Cup,
Members' Plate, 10 sous., and Cowdray Stakes, have yet

to close and name.
The Bunney Stakes of 300 goys. each, 20 ft. would
have produced a pretty race between Officious and
Pitaford, bad they allowed the Derby crack to run; but
this stake, like the Levant, was not considered valuable
enough (some 4201.) in his owner's opinion, to warrant
his being " pulled out," thus verifying the old adage,
" Aquila non captat muscas."
A Sweepstakes of 300 sous. each, h ft, one mile and
a quarter, will not have more than three starters, to wit,
Czarina, Letitia or Eugenie, and Media. Mr Neville
will no doubt pocket the stake, Czarina being second, and
Media last.

The race for the Drawing Room Stakes lies entirely
between Uriel and Borneo; the former, if he starts, for
choice; Indus, Testator, and one of the Duke of Rich-
mond's may help to swell the field.
For the Goodwood Stakes

Proclaim an open field, and there shall be,
I trove, no lack of champions."
The following list includes all that are likely to run,
those with asterisks attached being the most dubious:—
st lb
Giselle, 6 yrs 6 12
Miss Whip filly, 5 yrs 6 9
Remembrance, 43 rs 6 9
Tophana, 4 yrs
St. Antonio, 4 yrs
Fire Eater, 3 yrs

st lb
Chanticleer, 6 yrs 913
Collingwood, 6 yrs 9 8
*Surplice, 4 yrs
Wanota, 5 yrs
Fernhill, 4 yrs
Maid of Musham,

4 yrs 7 9 *Bacchanalian, 4 yrs 5 13
*The Admiral, 5 yrs 7 9 Osterley, 3 yrs
The Tartar, 5 yrs ... 7 7 Van Diemen, 3 yrs 5 6
Plaudit, aged
*Antagonist, 5 yrs
Clermont, 5 yrs
llornpipe, 4 yrs
Maid of Lyme, 6 yrs 6 13 Over-fork-over, 3 yrs 4 3
I have examined the Handicap by " the light of other
days," and find that Chanticleer has no chance, and
Collingwood but little, the weight being too great. The
Goodwood Stakes have only been won thrice, in the last
twenty years, by anything handicapped above nine
stone—Lucetta, 6 yrs, 9st 51b, in 1832; Glaucus, 5 yrs,
9st 81b, in 1835 ; and Chanticleer, 5 yrs, 9st 21b, last
year, being the memorable instances.
Surplice, I believe, will be reserved for the Cup ;
Wanota or St. Antonio will represent Lord Clifden's
stable, and one or other will be very handy. The Maid
of Masham, the Tartar, and Plaudit have the middle
weights safe; and from the light division I should select
Emma Donna, Miss Whip, and Over-fork-over, and this
upon the strength of previous running and present ap-
pearances. I summarily dispose of the various candi-
dates, and

" Hit or miss,
Our project's life this shape of sense assumes."
Wanota, or St. Antonio (Pearl) 1
Plaudit (Prince) 2
On Thursday the Duke of Richmond's Plate, a Se'
ing Sweepstakes, the Anglesey, and Five Sovs. Stakes,
have yet to close and name.
For the Goodwood Cup from eight to ten will run, to
be selected from the following:—
at lb st lb
The Hero, 6 yrs lO 0 Chicaneur, 4 yrs ... 7 1
Surplice, 4 yrs
Canezou, 4 yrs
Black Eagle, 3 yrs 7 4 The Flea, 3 yrs 7 0
Tadmor, 3 yrs
Borneo, 3 yrs 7 4 Juggler, 3 yrs ...... 5 10
Glenalvon, 3 yrs 7 41
The Cup has never been won by anything above 9st
131 b, and only once at this weight (Priam, in 1832); yet
the game old Colonel attempted to do the deed in 1830,
with 10st 71b up, and was third. However, I cannot
give the Hero the credit of being good enough to beat
either Canczou or Tadmor at the weight, therefore shall
jurap.fit the conclusion at once, and place
Canezou
Tadmor (Nat) 2
Surplice, the Hero, and Landgrave close up.
The Goodwood stable seem to have appropriated the
blolecombe Stakes to their own particular use.
The field for the Racing Stak( s is comprised in the
following
:—Honeycomb, Bst 101 b; Champion, Drake.
lew, Solon, Ploughboy, and Uriel, Bst 71b each; unless
the last-named should win the Drawing-room Stakes; in
that case his weight will be Bst 131 b. Of course the race
lies entirely between Uriel and Honeycomb, and so
nearly with the penalties will it be balanced, that I must
leave my readers to judge for themselves.
Tadmor, ij he runs, will win the 50 soya., Vatican the
100 sovs., Sidus the 200 sovs., and the Duke of Rich
mond or Colonel Peel the Sussex Stakes. A T. Y. C.
50 sovs. Stakes will be carried away by a whirlwind. On
Friday the March Stakes, Derby Plate, 10 Sovs. Stakes,
and Queen's Plate, have yet to close and name.
The Canada filly walks over for the 200 Sm. Stakes.
