POLICE INTELLIGENCE—gins DAY).

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

John Kent, a young man, describing himself as a
tailor, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with having
a gold Albert chain; &c., in his posses ion, and
not giving a sa'isfactory account of how he came
poFsesed of the same. William Tooley, a de'ective
of the C division, said that meeting the irisoner yes-
terday afternoon in Wardour-street, and noticing
that he was wearing a gold Albert chain with a num-
ber of charms attached to it, he a,ked him where he
_got the articles from, and he said that his mother had
given them to him that morning. iNot being satisfied
with the prisoner's story he took him to the station,
and then went to his mother, who said she knew
nothing about the property. I'risDner now said he
picked the chain up near St. James's Church duce
we,ks ago. The chain, with five lockets (one of them
containing a portrait and hair and another being in
the form of a slipper), a gold pencil cave, and also a
railway key found on the prisoner, were produced.
The prisoner was remanded.

THE NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING.
Bell'sLifc says :—" The Newmarket Craven programme,
as before remarked, is not a promising one, but there is
such a host of horses in training at headquarters that
more tempting cards may be tried each day than many
imagine. In the Craven Stakes, if the grand Rosicrucian
should be opposed by either of Joseph Dawson's three-
year olds, a contest worthy of the pahniest days of the
stoke might be witnessed. So highly, in fact, do we think
of Rosicrucian, and so greatly has lie improved since
last year, that he must have our entire allegiance.
As to the valurble Bently Plate the best of General Peel's
lot should as nearly as possible win this race. Our own
fancy is that Lady Masham will represent the stable,
and she, Bosworth, and Atlas ought to defeat all
comer.. For the Biennial, which has generally such
an effect on the Derby betting, should Astolfo (or
Captivator) meet Alexander in the Three Year
Old Biennial, wagerinc, between them is likely to
be very heavy; and as the race is famous for
producing "turns up," it may be taken for granted that
these so-styled cracks will not be unopposed. Judging
from what reaches us, the main struggle will be between
Astolfo and Alexander, and the first-named will very
likely be the winner. Mahonia, who once had the honour
of lowering the colours of Kiugcraft, is almost certain to
win the 100 sovs. Sweepstakes on the Ditch Mile;
and unless Major Fridolin has something pretty
good, Etruscan will carry off the Sale Stakes.
With reference to the Newmarket Handicap, the betting
is somewhat swamped by the fact that Sabinus will con-
test the race. His weight (6st. 131 b.) is, however, no
trifle to carry to the front up the hill that has so often
before proved fatal to favourites, and, like many a good
horse before him, the " crack " may have to go down be-
fore something at present held in light esteem. It is
not at all likely, however, that such will be the case, and
the horses that have any chance of upsetting the good
thing may be counted on the fingers of one hand.
Should however, Falkland not run, nothing seems likely
to jeopardise the prospects of the favourite beyond
Wildbad and Barford, the recently-named Blue Bell colt
The latter ran well up to a certain point in the City and
Suburban, and will have benefited by the time
that has elapsed since that race was run. Thursday's
and Friday's cards are best left alone until the
middle of the week. There can, however, be no harm in
suggesting that Midsummer will very likely win the Four
Year Old Biennial, as Pero Gomez has been slightly
amiss of late, and has, moreover to concede Midsummer_
71b, a feat that he may not be able to accomplish over the
long Ditch In course.
" Vigilant " and " Wizard." in the Sportsman, say—
Captivator being under suspicion, the Beckh: 'ton
stable will be represented by Astolfo, • • •-ay
be opposed by the new Two Thousand Gui ,as
favourite, Alexander. At one time as ranch
as 150 to 100 was laid against Astolfo, but the layer soon
found out his mistake, and would gladly have scratched
the bet. There was, however, an offer to take 400 to
100 that neither Astolfo nor Alexander wins, and give
a start with both, the fielder evidently relying on Noble-
man and Pandore, both of whom are mentioned as cer-
tain starters. I think that the race will be won by Astolfo.
In the Newmarket Handicap the Blue Bell colt looks
Sabinus' most dangerous opponent, and he has been
backed for some money at 6 to 1 and 100 to 15, as
have also the much improved Wildbad, who ran well
over this course last autumn, and Falkland, who
is said to have not done very well since his
return from Northampton. Without going further
through the handicap, I may state that the
Blue Bell colt is the only animal from whom Sabinus
need fear any danger. On Monday I shall anticipate the
success of Rosicrucian in the Craven Stakes, as King o'
Scots, who otherwise would be my selection, may not
run. In the Brethy Plate I shall look for the success of
Mahonia and Enfield, both, of whom are wonderfully yvel

treated. The entries for the other races to be decided on
Monday will not be made until the night before running.
" Augur," in the Sporting Life, states the five days'
sport are sure to produce some effect upon the prospects of
the Two Thousand and Derby, as the running has
invariably done in former years. Several of the
old-fashioned stakes in the programme promise to
be signal failures ; but, nevertheless, the week's
sport will be specially interesting, although the
presence of Sabinus in the Newmarket Handicap
spoils that race, and makes it look like a dead moral for
the renowned gelding. It is a somewhat remarkable co-
incidence in connection with this three-year-old Biennial
that though it has never been won by an animal who
afterwards proved victorious in the Derby, two horses who
were second in each instance—Caractacus and Blue Gown
—subsequently carried off the " blue riband." Excepting
the Newmarket Biennial and the Newmarket Handicap,
there is really very little in the Craven programme,
what once appeared to be a sensational match, that be-
tween Blue Gown and See-Saw, for 300 sovs a-side,
threatening to fall through altogether, if we can judge
from the contemptible figure cut by the Cambridgeshire
winner at the late Croxton Park Meeting. There are six
events appointed for Monday, but only a couple have
closed at the present time of writing. The Craven Stakes
has 13 engaged, but this number may be increased by
post entrances, which are permitted up to the preceding
evening. King o' Scots and Rosicrucian are among the
entries, but they will carry 151 b extra as a penalty for ex-
emption from sale. Their opponents number among them
Wildbad, Queen of Hearts, Kennington, and Strathnairn,
who have no extras. The field will drop away materia.ly
at the post, and I shall mpect the success of Rosicrucian
or Kennington. The Bretby Plate Handicap, over
the Bretby Stakes Course (6 fur.) has no fewer than
forty-six animals nominated, and promises to bring
together a numerous field, the distance being an
extremely popular one. Bosworth, with his 51b extra
for winning the Spencer Plate, has but 7st 91b to carry,
and this should not prevent his success, though he will
have most to fear from Lopez and St. George. Seven races
are appointed for Tuesday, two of which are unclosed.
Two or three of the old-fashioned stakes have obtained
such meagre entries, and are so one-sided, that they are
almost sure to fall through. The Twelfth Biennial,
run over the Rowley Mile (1 mile 17 yards),
is the great attraction of Tuesday, as, indeed, it
is of the week, though, singularly enough, except-
ing the stable-companions Captivator and Astolfo, it
contains the names of none of the conspicuous Two Thou-
sand or Derby cracks. Ido not think there is any crack
among the non-public performers, and in assigning the two
most prominent places to Astolfo and Nobleman, the
judge's decision may be thus anticipated. There are six
subscribers for the Sweepstakes of 100 sovs. each over the
Ditch Mile (5 fur. 210 yds.), and Mahonia will doubtless be
found much the superior of the remainder. The Twelfth Sale
Stakes, for three year olds, has five very bad ones en-
gaged, of whom My Honey may be found the best. The
Sweepstakes of 50 sovs each, over the Ditch Mile, is a
match between Newsman and Green Riband, and of the

pair I prefer Green Riband. Neither Thorwater nor the
filly by Blair Athol out of Rupee, the only two left in the
Riddlesworth Stake; over the Ditch Mile, have run, but
if Thorwater can race as an animal so highly bred should,
Mr. Cartwright's daughter of Fairwater will vanquish
Lord Stamford's representative. Out of the seven races
appointed for Wednesday, four remain open until the
preceding evening. The Newmaarket Handicap, over
the last mile and a half of the Beacon Course, originally
obtained sixty-nine subscribers, of whom the extraordi
narily small number of nineteen paid forfeit. The field
will, however, dwindle down, as numbers of the horses
engaged are hips de combat, and Sabinus will frighten
many away. With his 141 b. extra, the famous gelding
has but Est. 131 b. to carry, which will not prevent his
success. Wildbad(4yrs. , 75t.101b.), Falkland, 3yrs, 6st. 61b.),
and Barford, the newly-named colt by Thormanby out of
Blue Bell (3 yrs., Est. 101 b.), are the pick of the handicap.
Falkland. will be meeting Sabinus on 61b. better terms than
in the Metropolitan, and Lord Zetland's horse will be so
much better in condition that he will make a respectable
fight over this distance. Wildbad is strongly fancied at
Newmarket, and the Baron's stable is in decided form.
I look forward to seeing the two public performers,
Sabinus and Falkland, finish first and second, in the order
in which their names are written. The Column Stakes,
for three year olds, over the Rowley Mile, may be won
by Roderick Dhu or Carfax, and the Sweepstake of 50
sovs each by Squib. Thursday's races and the remaining
events of the Easter week must be left for treatment on
Wednesday, when I shall furnish from the Heath
all facts and incidents bearing in any shape upon the
future.

" Harkaway," in Land and Water anticipates a victory
for Sabinus in the Newmarket Handicap ' • lolt is silent
with regard to other events at the Craven Meeting.
The Field says with regard to the Biennial, the only
horses, however, with winning chances are Astolfo, Alex-
ander, Captivator, and Nobleman ; and if Alexander has
any Two Thousand pretensions, either he or Astolfo
should secure this Biennial. The Sale Stakes (across
the flat) will probably be won by Etruscan ; the Sweep-
stakes of 100 sovereigns each (Ditch Mile) by Mahoma
and the Sweepstakes of 50 sovereigns each (Ditch Mile)
by Newsman. Had Sabinus not been in the race, a goodly
field of horses would have assembled at the post; but
his presence may prevent several owners from
sending representatives to compete for the stake.
As the weights now stand the best of the horses left in are
Arlington, 7st. 121 b.; Wildbad, 7st. 101 b.; Sylva, 6st. 121 b.;
Captivator, Est. 111 b. ; Barford (the colt by Thormanbv

out of Blue, Bell), Est. 101 b. ; falkland, Est. 61b. • Thin.
skin, fist. 131 b. ; and Sabinus, fist. 131 b. (including 141 b.
extra). The Column Stakes (Rowley Mile), once a race
of importance, will this year be a failure, unless John
Scott sends his dark Derby colt, Goldsborough, to run for
it. At present, however, Carfax reads most like • the
winning name, as does Wave in the Sweepstakes of 50
sovs. each (5 furlongs 140 yards). On Thursday, in the
Eleventh Newmarket Biennial Stakes (Ditch in), Pero
Gomez, if thoroughly fit, could not, despite his 71b.
penalty, be defeated; but, owing to the St. Leger winner
having recently been amiss, Midsummer may be found
the most trustworthy candidate. For the Claret Stakes
(Ditch in) Pero Gomez may be permitted to walk over ;
and the brace of sweepstakes, run for on the Ditch mile
may be credited to Nobleman and Goldsborough. In the
match over the Cambridgeshire course, Blue Gown
ought to have little difficulty in beating See-Saw, if the
latter's running at Croxton Park was correct.

A correspondent of the Bpectator suggests that if
Earl Russell's plan of religious education be carried
out, and a chapter of the Bible be read without comment,
t should be given in the original Hebrew or Greek. The
ehilden would 'derive quite as much benefit from the pro-
cess. and the sense of awe and mystery would be increased.
