7'O THE EDITOR OF 711 E SUN.
Snt.—As I anticipated in my last epistle, the Euclid
colt, otherwise Clermont, has found his
opponents too
good for him at Bath, he having run a bad third to Miss
foffs and Rosin the Bow. The Hardicap was infinitely
better than that of Newmarket; here Miss Burns (whom
Must confess I was rather astonished to find the wiener)
bad to give Clermont a very fair weight, 2st 81h; while
Rosin
the
Bow, a half bred son of Venison, only gave
101 b for his year. After this performance Clermont
Must resign all pretensions to the Chester Cup as well
aball the Metropolitan Stakes; for the latter he will pr -
ablY run forward, but nothing more. Miss Burns, it
struck me, looked very blooming; as she took her pre-
paratory canter, and at the time I thought the fielders
ad a goodly animal in her, with only 7st to carry.
On Friday the banding of Mr. Beeton and the Li-
censed Victuallers of the metropolis, in the shape of the
Great Metropolitan Stakes, will bring together a superior,
and sinee the defeat of Clermont, a large field. At the
present time it is extremely difficult to give the names of
the starters, but few having arrivid in the vicinity of the
Downs up to ten o'clock this morning. The number
likely to go for this stake will be about twenty-five, to
be selected from the following, who are either there, en
roue, or, according to the latest accounts, going:—Fri m
DaWSOli'l3—Lord tialtoun, Dionatol, or Alliance, and the
Emerald Isle; from J. Scott's—Myanee and Sheraton;
fro'm Dilly's—the Marquis of Conytighen3 (this animal
bas latterly been shifted from Dilly's to Dockeray's for
his engagement on the Downs) and Mirmillo; from
Treetes—Clermont and, perhaps, Buttress; from Kent's
----Crozier, or Devil-me-Care, and ohe of the Duke of
Eichrnond's• from Boyce's—Woltdog; from Percy's—
Ajax and the Odessa filly; from Taylor's Jetiny Wren.
And, besides these, Pineapple, Gannet, Little Jack;
,_Gwalior, Driffield, Rufus, Bourton, Icicle. br cby Amato,
nilsnaele, Lady Sarah, Correct Card, Feiney, Agnes or
Comme il-faut, and Pink B .nnet.
From the top weights I shall select Gannet and the
Marquis of Conyngham; from the middle weight.. Jenny
Wrenande Sheraton; and from the ,eather's, Emerald
Isl ed Clermont; and if comp• llt d !o pick three from
e I should take Emerald Isle, Jenny Wren, and the
-Marquisof Con% hate.
The Two Years Old Stakes will find their way into
Mr. Sadler's pocket with Antelope; Chippeway or Bril.

GA CE RAILWAY.
A special general meeting of the shareholders in this
rail-
Way was held yesterday at the offices ot coMp.inv, forthe
purpose of sanctioning certain alterations in the line-.
Mr. Smale, in the absence of Mr. D. Salomons, chairman
of the company, presided.
The SECRETARY having read the advertisement, and the
clauses of the Act which were intended to be brought before
Parliament,
The CeAsamAx said that the main object of the Act was
to facilitate the construction of the amended line eta a less
cost, and he thought, therefore, that no objection would be
offered to it. He had, therefore, to move that the approval
of this meeting be given to the introduction of this Bill into
Parliament.
A PROPRIETOR wished to know. before the motion was put,
whether this Act would alter any of the relations red 11110
With the South-Eastern Company ?
The CHAIRMAN—CeIt-1411y not.
Mr. MANGLES said, that as living in the neighbourhood of
the proposed alterations, he might be permitted to say that
the deviation of a few huudred yards would save a distance
of three-quarters of a mile, and would save considerable ex-
pense, besides forming a b-tter 'junction. They would not
have been obliged to alter-in-anyway their Act of Parlia-
loent, but the estate through which the proposed alterations
were to be made was in Chaacery, and there was no person,
therefore. properly authorised to give a title to the land.
The other alterations were of a somewhat similar character.
The object would, therefore, save expenses to the Reading,
Guildford. and Reigate, and, consequently, would contribute
to the welfare of the South-Eastern Company.
The CHAIRMAN said that the interests of the South•
Eastern and of this company were now the same, and, there-
fore, they could not be dissatisfied with it.
A PROPRIETOR asked if the agreement with the South-
Eastern Company was signed and sealed?
The CHAIRMAN said it was not, but it was drawn up and
approved of by the solicitor of their own company. 'and was
also approved of by Mr. Fearon, the solicitor of dm South-
ztstern Company. It had, however, been submitted to the
Counsel of the company, Mr. Earle, who was out of town, and
had it with him. He was expected in town this week, but
bad not yet arrived.
A PROPRIETOR would like to know how long the agree-
fluent had been in that gentleman's possession ? In a matter
affecting so much capital, it was not a slight affair; that this
Should be allowed to lie over. Unforeseen circumstances
flight arise which might materially injure the interests of
the Reading, Guildford, and Reigate Company. and it was,
therefore, proper that every means should be taken to bring
this matter to a conclusion.
A Peorszffroa asked whether the 600,0001. capital, to be
furnished by this company, would be the maximum amount ;
or whether, in the event of the cost exceeding that sum, they
Would be also called upon to subscribe it?
The CHAIRMAN said that if a further sum were required
the South-Eastern Company were bound to provide it.
A discussion arose as to toe pronriety of adjourning the
• meeting until the agreement was lerthcoming, and it was
. ultimately agreed that the motion should be agreed to, on
the understanding that the directors should call a meeting
within a fortnight if the agreement should nut have been de
livered within that time.
The motion was agreed to, and the meeting separated.
