EPSOM DOWNS, SUNDAY MORNING.
(From the Second Edition of the Sunday Times.)
The morning rose beautifully, presenting an aspect
clear and glowing—radiant, in short, with the promise
of a brilliant day. It was, however, soon thickly over-
clouded, to the sore discouragement of a vast miscel-
laneous crowd of persons, who had availed themselves of

the early trains to be in "good time" to see the high-
bred cattle take their gallops on the Downs. But for
such facilities most of them, we will venture to say,
would have been snoozing snugly in their beds, dream-
ing, perhaps, of " lucky draws," and heaps of glittering
prize money!
Rain fell heavily for upwards of two hours, the clouds
then gradually dispersed, the sun shone forth again in
full splendour, the galloping ground was quickly thronged
by the gathering multitude. Strings of horses came
forth, and the surrounding scene became animated, in-
teresting, and picturesque in the highest degree.
Barring three or four groups of gipsies, we were the
earliest cn the Downs.

Ugh ! how they dripped, and shook, and shivered, as
they stood huddled together under the skeleton booths.
At half-past fire, Van Tromp, accompanied by Eryx and
Plaudit, made their appearance on the ground, and re-
mained exposed to the "pelting of the pitiless storm,"
which fell in torrents, for upwards of an hour, the pru-
dence of which, under any circumstances, is consider-
ably questionable. After walking about for some
time he took a couple of gentle canters from the bottom
of the Derby hill to the old mile starting post. From
this spot he walked to Tattenham corner, where he was
again "set a-going," but merely cantered to the end—
the rain pouring in torrents all the time. We walked
beside " the crack" for some distance, scrutinising him
as closely as circumstances would admit ; and it was oar
decided impression that he has lust much of his action
—that his preparation has been but a moderate one ;
and that there were sufficient grounds for the report that
his fore-legs have been rather queerish ; both wore
boots. He was the pet of our fancy last year, and we
then considered him the finest two year old of the
season'; but comparing him with animals of his own
class now, we do not discover that superiority of ap-
pearance which so eminently distinguished him as a two
year old.
The appearance of Mr. Martin caused a great deal of
interest, and he was surrounded by crowns anxious to
get a peep at this animal, who has, throughout the win-
ter, and especially within this last fortnight, been one
of the prominent features of the Derby betting. Our
readers are well aware that after the running of Mr.
Mostyn's horses al Chester Mr. Martin became a great
favourite, and as little as eight to one was taken about
him for the Derby. Within the last week, however, he
has retrograded considerably, and went to the right
about—on the strength of the trial on Tuesday, we
believe with The Swallow and Sagacity, in
which we understand he only beat the Chester
winner by a length, with some difficulty. This morn-
ing he took several canters and galloped the Derby
course twice, pulling up on both occasions as fresh and
dry as Perfect condition could make him. He was ac
companied by the Quilt Arnold filly, who appeared to
have little the worst of him —indeed, so well did she 10,.k,
and went in such racing•like form, that we conceived a
notion that we shall see a repetition of the Queen of
Trump's victory for this race.
Mr. Martin is as good a looking animal as any on the
ground; and though we did not like his action up the hill
at first, we fancied when laid down to his work that he
will prove a very dangerous horse, and worth an invest-
ment at his present price.
Stebbing's string consisted of Bedouin, Assault, and
Flatcatcher. The Derby nag we did not like, but Flat-
catcher is a very racing-like two year old, and will make
flats of those who happen to be against him for the
Woodcote, on Tuesday. Sister to Dexterous, a remark-
ably fine mare, galloped with them.

Giraffe and Brown Bess took solitary canters.
Miss Sarah (who looked in her old form) led Chain-
bearer and the Miss Whip colt a good gallop, and we
question whether many in the race will not find it diffi-
cult to measure the capabilities of the Chainbearer. He
is a fine powerful horse, with good stride and splendid
action.

Miles's Boy (with Whitehouse up) led Wanota two
steady gallops over the Derby course. Both had their
fore-legs bandaged; and Wanota (who does not appear
to be the least grown since last year) appeared very stale
and " dickey" in that quarter. In action ho " puddled"
and went too wide behind to please us. With others,
however, he found favour.

Satyr, Signet, and Sultana did not create much sensa-
tion by their exhibition.
On the contrary, War Eagle did, and justly so. He
looked in blooming condition; and, with little Billyg
Marson on his back, went as " free as a bird."
He mounted the hill several times in a style to
make his enemies quake in their shoes; and twice
galloped the Derby course in a manner which left no
doubt of his " staying" qualities. His vast improvement
upon his Newmarket form is manifest.

Charles l'ack's string was on the Six Mile Bottom,
and consisted of Administrator, New Era, and Mont-
pensier, all looking well. The Frenchman is a good-
looking, middle-sized, racing-like horse, but rather de-
ficient in power ; he has, however, very smooth neat
action. The New Era appeared to us to have consider-
aby the best of the gallop.
Limestone and Maid of Motherwell were both liked,
the mare in particular ; she will run very forward for
the Oak:.
