For the race of the week, the Great Ebor Handicap, about

Of the above, those marked thus 4 are not
,r.
,Y 1
starters, but being at York, or in its vicinity, miak
The top weight has " a steadier" on him, butl6C.4
be remembered that he can carry weight, ).4
might perchance turn out the sourest wine ever swal-
lowed by his enemies. Ellerdale, if in her old form, is weighted
favourably enough and will be among the first four at the
finish. Philosopher and Little Casino, with the winning
weight of seven stone "up," will make an excellent "forlorn
hope." Meaux and Dough will be handy, but lam afraid
not good enough to win. Pillage, with 6st 81b, and Sir
Martin, with sst 131 b, are not overburdened with weight,
and if worth anything ought to be about the mark this time.
Remembrancer will, as usual, be about third; Maid of My
Soul and the other light weights nowhere.
In conclusion, I must take Ellerdale, Dough, ,Sir Martino
and Remembrancer, placing them in my opinion thus :
Sir Martin or Ellerdale 1
Remembrancer ••• 3
Dough .. 4
The three next on the list being Winesour, Little Casino,
and Pillage.—l am, Sir, yours, &c.,
