ARMSTRONG

hze a couple—Heroine, who will rua, and Bushranger
who will not. Mr. Snowing's chance with Heroine,
however, is a forlorn one.

Among the solitary representatives of stables, Bor-
deaux from Butler's at Bst 61b, though decidedly heavily
weighted, has such a turn of speed that be will be found
struggling home in front. Bussborough has no
chance whatever. Neasluins and Knight of Gwynne
ditto. Ariosto, from Dilly's, over his favourite
distance is sure to run well, and in all
probability, finish about fifth or sixth, if no nearer.
Ephesus from J. Day's, Vancouver from T. Parr's,
Warwick from W. Scott's, England's Glory from Win-
tringbarn's, Recruit from French's, Grand Duke from
Pe ray's, Narcissus from King's, Truth from Billington's,
Nautch Girl from Ducker's, Manifold from Carlisle's,
and Follow-me-Lads from Malony's, are all, more or less,
on a par, and not equal to winning this great stake. One
or two others require my consideration before con-
cluding, namely, Confidence, who is under A. Day's
management, and has been .backed for a large stake
on the strength of private, more than public.
doings ; I cannot have her as a winner,
The other animal that the public have to some extent
overlooked is Haricot, by Mango or Lanercost, who as
a four-year old, with 6st 21b up, ouh;lit to be a very dan-
gerous opponent, being in first-rate running at the pre-
sent time. I shall select her as my cockboat for this

[ADVERTISEMENT.]
PRIAM'S PROPIIECIES.—An advertisement having
appeared in this day's Morning Advertiser, under the
above head, to the effect that Priam, of the Racing Times,
had opened a List on all forthcoming Steeple-chases, at
ten guineas each,—this is to give notice that such ad-
vertisement has proceeded from no person connected
with the Racing Times, and all persons are cautioned
against being led away by the same.—Racing Times
Office, Oct. 23, 1851.

GUNS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Srn,—As the principal of the oldest gun-manufac-
tory in England, may I be permitted to caution pur-
chasers of these articles.
There are, I find, parties in London who sell guns
to whom honesty is of so little importance that they
undertake to put a favourite maker's name on any
gun. This is such an incentive to dishonest servants
and agents having commissions, that I am sure for the
safety of the public you will be ready to expose it.
I attended myself at Marlborough-street to com-
plain to the magistrate concerning this matter. What
affects me must affect every other respectable man,
and your referring to it, or allowing the insertion
of this note may prevent danger of life to many parties.
I am, Sir, yours, &c.
Dover-street, Oct. 23, 1851. G. H. MANTON.
