The weather was fine, but the attendance was not by
any means so great as we have been in the habit of
witnessing at the commencement of the Hougton Week,
and the list, which contained no less than fourteen stakes
and matches, produced only six races. The defeat of
Flatcatcher was the sole feature of the day, and this did
not appear to take anybody by surprise ; he is said to
have been lame for some days past.

0 THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sir,—ln continuation of my last letter on the Hough-
,on meeting, which I brought down to Wednesday
morning, I resume my task with a Sweepstakes of
50 sous. 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 hat-
catcher, and Buckstone; they are one and all a very in-
ferior crew to pick a winner from, none of them can be
relied on, but I think Bucksto•ne 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 Camada 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 oil' thils:—
Eiithen, Bst; 71b, will beat Impertinence colt, 7st 51b.
Pavilion, Bst 71b, will beat Miss Whip filly, Bst 71b.
Chapelgowrie, Bst 71b, will beat Sir Oliver, ist 71b.
Blackcock, 7st 101 b, will beat Villiers, Bst 71b.
Administrator, Bst 71b, will beat Bridle, Bst 41b.
Clementine, 6st 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, Sat 71b, will beat Chainbearer, Bst 71b.
My Mary, Bst 71b, will beat Rosin the Beau, Bst.
Woodcraft, ist 71b, will beat Discontent, Bst 131 b.
Sable, Bst 71b, will beat Actwon filly, Bst 41b.
Miami, Bst 71b, will beat Miss Whip filly, ist 1 Ilb.
Watchdog, 7st 71b, will beat Rough and Ready, Bst 71b.
The Switcher, 12st 61b, will beat Humdrum, 13st.
Garyowen, Bst, will beat Socundus, Bst.
Pyrrhus the Fist, Bst 71b, will beat Bridle, ist 21b.
Loadstone'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 for
the Epsom race, 10, 11, and 12 to I having been taken
freely after his victory this afternoon, in fact it would
nct surpris'me were 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 Iletman Platoff filly, has confirmed Glendower in
his position of 15 to 1 in t he 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 taken off Lady
Wildair and placed upon Vanish, with what effect time
will show.

Newcourt is amiss and not likely to start; in other
respects the list ofstartfirs, with the addition of The
Widow, will be pretty correct.
My analysis of the entries for the Nursery Stakes I
will give as soon as known.--1 am, Sir, yours, &c.,
