EBOR HANDICAP. --Youatt Wm. Gray's advice IF,
pepper the Coroner for the Ebor ; never mind the I:slit-
ting, as the "Playmen" are at work again. Warlock
also will miss fire, and my choice will win from end to
end. This is quite as good a thing as Ellington for the
Derby. Subecriuers are requested to do as advised, as
this is my turn to cry "Victorious." Terms—York
Meeting, ss. ; to the St. Leger, 10s. Address, 15,
Charing-cross. Addressed envelopes required.
