TO THE EDITOR OF TilE

Slll,—Once mere i've plunged into the "gulf of
futurity," a:-.d now emerge therefrom
"cramm'd
With observation—the which I'll vent
In mingled fancies."
unlike my. half-isz:n Tiresian contemporaries, who
rarely publish their vaticinations until within a few days
of the race or racs coming off, do not keep my "coun-
sel" closed up " kithin the book and volume of my
brain," bat, contrariwise, take time by the forelock, and
give the read, rs of The Sun the benefit of my judgment
at least a month, and occasionally three, six, and twelve
months beforehand; now this being the case, without
any further prelude, us according to an indisputable au-
thority " brenity is the soul of wit," and I know sporting
men consider it to be the " soul of business," at ast in
prophecies, and the ring—l will at once rush in medics
res, and attempt to anticipate the destinies of the
roost imi:ortai,t stakes of tile Goodwood, York, and
Donc:.sttr mietirgs of this year, the I.)rbys of 1850
and 1851; and, as "foal books" on the Derby of 1852
are ci_ming into fashion, will conclude by throwing out
a few hints on that race; but with regard to this last-
mentioned stake, for which the nominations will not
close until the Newmarket July meeting of next year,
I would advise you, in Lady Flora Idastings' words, to—

" C6rl,,ida \v.:at you venture, weigh discreetly
Tile dangers et your project."

Goodwood, that El Dorado or California of the turfite,
when "one week makes him rich for all the year,"
claims my first attention; the four days have no less
than thirty-tour events on the list, value about 18,0001.;
and, with one or two exceptions, all the crack nags of the
day are engaged, inciuding my three-year old
" Standard," of quadrupedal excellence, the but once,
and accidentally, vanquistied son of lon and Palmyra,
Tadmor, who will, bar accidents, canter home from
Belus, Rochester, Indus., and the Duke of Richmond's
filly, for the Gratwicke Stakes, without distressing him-
self ; by which motion Colonel Peel will pocket some
2,330 sovs., and should ho run second with Indus, 2001.
more._ _

The great 300 Soya. Stakes never had a more trashy
lot entered for it than it has this year, only one being
sound, a❑d he nothing to boast of ; I presume the
starters will be, Glen Saddel, Loadstone, Nil Desperan
dum, and Backbiter; and if Loadstone's legs will allow
him to cover nearly three miles and three quarters with-
out breaking down, I should trust him in preference to
Gleu Saddel or Backbiter—but more anon. _ _ _

The Ham Stakes, won in 1844 by Itt,traction (winner
of the Oaks in 1845), in 1845 by Epirute, in 1846 by
Lady Cecilia, in 1847 by Surplice Os inner of the Derby),
and in 1848 by Colonel Peel's Tacit:nor, has always pro-
duced au a,piring candidate for Derby or Oaks honours,
and in three invances—Epirote, Surplice, and Tadmor
—three tremendous " pots" for the former race. This
year will be no exception to the rule, Colonrl Peel being
in great force with his Derby nags, Longinus (hail-
brother to Tadmor) and Hartlinge; Sir Joseph Hawley
with the first favourite for the Wks, Tingle; and Mr.
Meiklatu with The Italian, somewhile premier favourite
for the Epsom struggle. In addition to the above four,
trany of the following will be found at the post, viz.:—
The Curate, Stingo, Claymore or Ploughshare, Cross-
bow or Little Isaac, Core, Probity or Mayors, Gleam,
and the Lollypop filly.
The race for the Drawing-room Stakes is reduced to a
mere question of " staying " between Uriel, Borneo,
Indus, and the Highland Fling; the distance is nearly
two miles and a quarter, a little too far for Uriel, yet I
think he will just contrive to pull through.
Toe Racing Stakes look well for Honeycomb; and the
Nassau, for Lady Evelyn; the Molccomb will tall to the
lot of the Goodwood Stable; and the 50 sous. Stakes to
Tadmor.

For the Gos.lwood Stakes I consider Chanticleer,
Collingwoott, Surplice, Limestone, Inheritress, Plaudit,
Antagonist, Projectile, Maid of Lyme, Giselle, Bagley,
IV3 ke, Vaurien, Abbot of Meaux, Sauter le Coupe, Le-
gerdvmain, and Over-fork-over, to be by weight, or
otherwise, already disposed of; from the remainder I
should select the Maid of Masbate, 7st. 91b.; The
Tartar, 7st. 71b.; Remembrance, 6st. 9ib.; St. Antonio,
6st. 7,1).; Priestess, sst. Wb.; and Syrup, 4st. 91b.; as the
lot most likely to furnish the winner.
I can discover nothing that stands a chance of beating
Tadmor, and Canczou, for the Goodwood Cup ; and
with this stake I for the present conclude my observa-
tions on the Goodwood tryste, now in its torty•eighth
year. _ _ _

- York stands forth in a flourishing condition this
year, with its Ebor St. Leer, Yorkshire Oaks, Ebor
Handicap, and Great Yorkshire Stakes. For the Ebor
St. Leger, two miles, the following among others, stand
engaged : Elthiron, Loup-garou, Drakelow, Honey-
comb, Vac.a, and Stanton; Lord Eglinton will, I opine,
be lucky enough to pocket this stake.
The Yorkshire Oaks may possibly fall to the lot of
Mr. Green, with Lady Superior.
The Great Yorkshire Stakes have the foll Owing cele-
brities among the entries :—Old Dan Tucker, Drakelow,
Belus, Hotspur, Vatican, Vanguard, Honeycomb,
Nunnykirk, Urid, and Escalade. This stake will go
into Scott's stable by the aid of Nunnykirk or Uric!.
The Ebor Handicap, with an acceptance or forty-one,
will as usual ha a bad betting race; The Hero, 9,,t 41b;
Shylock, 7st 51o; Mahon, 7st; Blucher. 7st; Glen
Saddel, GA; 71b; Remembrance, 6st 7,b; Sr. Antonio,
63t 71b; Westow, sst Sib; The Knout, sst 41b; and
Castanette, sst 31b, are the most favourably weighttd.
Maltoa and Blucher for choice.

The Doncaster St. Leger, at the present moment,
seems to be a certainty for the Flying Du•climan, yet I
am inclined to thick that Lady Superior, Uriel, Nunny-
kirk, Volcano, and Honeycomb, have each a very re-
spectable outside chance.
The Derby of IESO will in my opinion fall to the lot
of one of the following:—Pontitex, Witchcraft, The
Italian, Sweetheart, Hardinge, Compass, Decoy colt,
Windhound, and Pitsford ; the first and last for choice.

Fur the Derby of 1851, Newminster, Paiitalonade
colt, Storm, Croupier, Bonnie Dundee, and Lamartine,
have the largest :hare of attraction for me.
Among the !oats of 1849, that are likely to be entered
for the Derby of 1853, are the undermentioned:—Colt
by Birdcatcher, out of Forget-me-Not; a superior colt
by F.►ugh.a-Ballagh, out of Sister to Sir Ralph; a fine
cult by Touchstone, out of Gulhani,e; a large lengthy
cult by Birdcatch'-r, out of Beeswing; a strong cult by
Lanercosr, out of Alice Hawthorn; a colt by Lanercost,
out of Valentine; a colt t,y Fancy Boy, out of Modesty ;
a colt by Birdcatcher, out of Blue Bonnet; and a re-
markably promising colt called Pepperanut, born on
the Ist of April, by Sweetmeat. out of Pantalonade.
I am, Sir, yours, &c.,
THE SPIRI 2 OF THE TURF.
July 14, 1849.

An evening contemporary is not quite correct in
fixing upon the 2l of August as the likely day for the
prorogation of Purliament. Owing to the obstruction
on the vote for the Ordnance Estimates, and other
similar waste o the time of the House of Commons, the
session will nut close before the 7th, or perhaps, the 9th
of August, the former being the more probable day. It
is not ( xpectui that the Queen will prorogue the Paha-
aunt in person.—Observer.
