TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sir,—ln continuation of my last letter on the Hough-
ton meeting, which I brought down to Wednesday
morning, I resume my task with a Sweepstakes of
50 soya. each, h. ft., for two years old, and for which at
least five will come to the post, probably, Carthage,
Hecuba. colt by the Earl of Richmond, colt by Rat-
catcher, and Buckstone; they are one and all a very in-
ferior crew to nick a winner from, none of them can be
relied on, but f think Buckstone or the Ratcatcher colt
will catch the judge's eye first, Hecuba and the Earl of
Richmond colt being well up.
On Thursday, Surplice or Loadstone' in all proba-
bility the latter will win with ease the Glasgow Stakes,
Backbiter second, and the Canada colt third.
A Sweepstakes of 50 sous. each, Blaze will walk over

for.
The numerous matches on: the tapir are, in my
opinion, destined to come off thus:—
Eilthen, Bst: 71b, will beat Impertinence colt, 7st 51b.
Pavilion, Bst 71b, will beat Miss Whip filly, Bst 71b.
Cbapelgowrie, Bst 71b, will beat Sir Oliver, Est 71b.
Blackcock, 7st 101 b, will beat Villiers, Bst 71b.
Administrator, Bst 71b, will beat Bridle, Bst 41b.
C.ementina, Est 51b, will beat Wolfdog, Bst 121 b.
Rough and Ready, Bst, will beat Valecia, Bst.
Tom Tulloch, Bst 71b, will beat Cynynion, Bst 71b.
Queen Mary, Bst 31b, will beat Kimblesworth, Bst 71b.
Crczier, Bst 71b, will beat Chainbearer, Bst 71b.

Lotdstone's superior performance to day in the
Criterion has gained him a host of admirers, and at the
present reading he may be accounted first favourite tor
the Epsom race, 10, 11, and 12 to 1 having been taken
freely after his victory this afternoon, in fact it would
not surpris me wei e he to oust his stable companion
Surplice completely from his advanced position in the
odds, and remain during the winter the champion of the
Goodwood stable.
Woodcraft's easy victory to-day, in his match with
the Hetman Platoff filly, has confirmed Glendower in
his position of 15 to 1 in the Derby odds.
I remain of the same opinion with respect to the
Cambridgeshire, believing firmly that nothing can beat
that much fancied trio, Geraldine, Lady Wildair, and
Hydrangea. Nat, I understand, is to be takEenToufforßLFTadhye
