SCRAPS FROM CHESTER.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—Throughout a stormy day, which strongly re-
minded one of Inirepid's year (1845). the racing yester-
day, in strong contrast with that at Newmarket last week,
was excellent. Lord Waterford opened the ball in the
Grosvenor Stakes, by winning a pretty race, by three-
quarters cf a length, with his Irish daughter of the Star
of Erin, dam by Tearaway, yclept Kick-up-the-Dust,
3 yrs, Est; Mark Tapley, 4 yrs, Bst 51b, second; The
Cutler, 3 yrs, 6st 31b, a good third; Alonzo, 4 yrs, Bst
51b, Spot, 5 yrs, Bst 121 b, and Vanguard, 5 yrs, 9st I
lb, beaten two or three lengths. I have but little he-
sitation in asserting that my fancy animal for the
Mostyn Stakes (Lizzy) would have won, and easily too,
had she not fell be fore the start, and been knocked down
afterwards in the race by the favourite (The Greek),
who, as I predicted, would not be nearer than third,
the actual position in which he passed the post. Paddy
Bird wen by a nrek, from Bethgolert. Neither
Young new:horn or Lord Eglinton's colt ran.
Hurry Scurry vs on the Chesterfield Stakes very easily,
and bowled my judgment over in toto. My remarks con-
cerning the Palatine Stakes vsere verified to the letter.
MMerry3 under Merson's guidance, won very easily;
Tightwaist second. As I imagined, neither Vermuth.
Iris, or Hesse Homberg were started for this stake,
Avis having been beaten 3 esterday in a3O sous. sweep-
stakes, Alderman Copeland's Drill, or Mr. Stebbing's
Guerdsman, will clear. the winning post first to-day for
the Roodee Produce Stakes. The Cup, I expect, will be
decided as I have air, a?y announced. Kick-up-the-
Dust will, in all probability, win e`
. the Sixty Guinea
Piety; and Aristos the Queen's Guineas. The race for
the Triennial, to-morrow, will lay between Bethgelert

Deer is reported to be queer, but, notwithstanding,_tfoot, I
must go for him or Vermuth to win; with Lightfoot,
Hyppolytus, and The Black Doctor to fill the third,
fourth, and fifth places. The Chester Welter Cup to
Joe-o'-Sot or Cauriri. On Friday, for the Fourth Ces-
trian Stakes, I shall vote, without hesitation, for The
Black Doctor and Vermuth to fill the first two places;
Colsterdale, lanthe, Guardsman, and Drill, in thereat.
The Winal Stakes may possibly fall to Mr. Lister with
Lizzy, Tightwaist second, and Truth third. The
Cheshire Stakes to Snowstorm or Sauter-la-Coupe.
The Free Handicap to The Pilot or Forester, former for
choice; Queen Bee close up. The Eaton Stakes to
Hurry Scurry or Tightwaist, former for choice. This
concludes the bill of tare for Chester.
