FrWU the great number of horses which will be in the
neighbourhood, the excellence of the entries, the unusual
interest nttsched to the prineii,al events, nod the settled
fineness of th,., weather, the re is every reason to anticipate
a most bri!lirtrit meeting. Her Majesty and ILILIT. Prince
Albert will be present to-morrow and Thursday. Thu rail
ways offer great facilities for the journey to and from the
Heath; in addiion to the uld route, tea Slough, a new
one is provided by the South-Western Company, which
promises to be very extensively patronised; trains wi!l
be started in quick succession from the Waterloo bridge
Station to S:11111CS and Da•chet, thc., distaz:ce from each
to the course being about seven miler, the road from the
former, we should say, the best for travelling; convey-
ances in abundance will be provided at both stations to
convey passengers to and from the course; the return
trains will be regulated by the time at which the races
terminate.

SHARSPEItE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Stn,—The Derby of 1849 %ill long be remembered by
every member of that "community, republic, or club,"
yclept "The Ring," as one of the worst for them on
record, they are losers to a man, all are hit, and many
very hard too, the aristocracy, and the public being the
winners ; to add to their discomfiture a Mr. W., and
two or three others are missing for a trifle of some
12,000/ which is not like to be forthcoming ; thus ends
" The Flying Dutchman drama," in which some 300,000
persons of all classes have played a part. My judgment
was tolerably correct on the Derby, the couple I selected
nearly a year ago, running in first and third, thus mak-
ing me for the fifth time successively correct on the first
race in the universe; I am inclined to believe that bad
the course been in first rate condition my prediction
would have been verified to the letter, i. e., that Tadmor
and The Flyer would have been first and second, and
nothing else near; the half-bred Hotspur is a very good
second-rate horse, but, as his future running will prove,
is not within pounds of Tadmor.
The Flyer, Honeycomb, and Uriel ran respectably,
and will figure rather prominently in the St. Leger bet-
ting before long.
The aristocratic meet on the Heath of Ascot, has a
bill of fare comprising twenty-six stakes for the four
days ; the ball opens on Tuesday with the Trial Stakes,
which has yet to be entered for.

For the Ascot Stakes about sixteen will run, to be
selected from the following:—

The race, I presume, will be between Swordplayer or
Gardenia, Essedarius, St. Antonia, and Jelly Fish, and
will end thus:-- 1

Should the two heavy weights run, it will be a toss-up
for choice between them and The Flea, and may possibly
end thus:—
