TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sea,—At Newton yesterday the Golborne Stakes
was a walk over for Medleck, and the Gold Cup a
mere canter for the Abbess of Jet vaux, as she won
by something not much short of a dozen lengths.
She is in the 100 soya. Handicap on Friday, and at Est
131 b, penalty included, is not to be despised. Her -prin-
cipal opponents will be Oxford Blue atist 31b, and Ripg.
leader at Est 31b; Egret, Bst 2lb, has, I fancy, a little too
much weight up; and Unity will not run. Le Juif, 6st
51b and 71b penalty, cannot be expect©d to accomplish
the winning feat this time; although, if she runs, I nave
but little doubt she will ebtain a very forward place.
My remarks on the Bibury Meeting yesterday were
verified to the letter by the running. I ob-
served in Note No. 68 that I should "patronise
the Aitch Bone" for the Champagne Stakes; that the
Bibury Stakes would be " a center fir Guardsman;"
and that the Produce Stakes would " be won by the En-
terprise colt, the Knight of the Thistle filling tee secona
place." Aitch Bone won the first event by a neck from
Snarler and two others; Guardsman cantered over tor
the second event ; and the Enterprise colt beat the
Knight of the Thistle and two others very cleverly for
the third event. The " return lists" of to-day's racing
at Stockbridge will, I fancy, place Bee Hunter and Cari-
boo first and second for the First Triennial; Lamartine
and Glenhawk first and second for the Second Trien-
nial; and Houlakin or " a fielder" first, and Kingston
second for the Third Triennial. My ()einem on the Win-
chester events remains unaltered. I have reason to believe
that the field for the Northumberland Plate will, as nearly
as possible, be composed of the following :—Elthiron,
5 yrs, Bst 41b; Uriel, 5 yrs, 7st 121 b; Chantrey, 5 yrs,
7st 31b; Knight of Gwynne, 4 yrs, 7st 31b; Testator,
5 yrs, Est 121 b; The Ebor, 4 yrs, Est 61b; Jenny Lind,
5 yrs, fist 41b; Abdallah, 4 yrs, Est ; Comas, 3 yrs, sst
101 b; England's Glory, 3 yrs, sst 61b; Neasham, 3 yrs,
sst 41b (d); Jack Leeming, 3 yrs, 4st 101 b; Knook
Knoll, 3 yrs, sst ; and Cyclops, 3 yrs, 4st Sib. My
opinion on their chances to-morrow; meanwhile I may
as well observe that a middle weight is much more
likely to carry off the Plate than a top or light weight.
For the Liverpool Cup, Strongbow at 7st 21b; Abbess
of Jervaux at 6st 71b; Colsterdale at sst 71b; and Breba
at sst, seem to me to be the best " I was not far
from the bull's eye when I remarked, in my ob-
servations
on the Goodwood Stakes on Friday
last, that " not above three dozen or two
score" would cry content to the weights imposed ; the
number that have done so being one more than I calcu-
lated on, that is, forty-one. My particular fancies for the
race, Vampyre and Borneo, will be found among the ac-
ceptances, as will Kick-up-the-Dust, Clarissa, and Nar-
cissus, the two forming my reserve. My Chester Cup
oockboat, Duc-an-Durras also accepts • should he start,
he will be found, in the company of accepts;
Dan Tucker, in
the front at the finish. Clasher, halt-brother to Clincher,
by Launcelot, at his present price (20 to 1), is worth
an investment for the St. Leger. He is well on his "pins,"
and will turn out a much better horse than Clincher.
The betting hat night and this morning was and
is somewhat brisker than usual at the following
prices. First Triennial-6 to 4on Cariboo, 2to
1 agst Beshunter. Second Triennial-2 to lon Lamar-
tine, sto 1 agat Phlegethon, 5 to 1 agst Glenhawk.
Third Triennial-6 to 4,7 to 4, and 2to 1 apt King-
ston (taken freely), 3 to i agst Houlakin-5 to 1 eget
The Chase. Northumberland Plate-7 to 2 agst Uriel,
8 to 1 each agst England's Glory, Testator, Jenny Lind,
and Neasham; 12 to 1 agst Cyclops, 15 to 1 agst El-
thiron. July Stakes-2 to 1 apt Pbryne colt. Ches-
terfield Stakes-3 to 1 agat Lapidist, 3to 1 agst Am-
brose. Liverpool Cup-8 to 1 eget Strongbow, 10 to 1
agst Breba, 12 to 1 agst The Marquis, 12 to 1 agst
Officious. Goodwood Stakes-12 to 1 each agst Vam-
pyre and Borneo, 15 to 1 each agst Harpsichord, Runny-
mede, Clarissa, and Kick-up-the-dust, 20 to 1 agst Bri-
tish Boy, 25 to 1 agat Unity.

best, indeed, of the whole regatta. They were oar and
oar for half the distance, when a lead of three or four
feet was observable on the part of the Cambridge, the

GREAT RACE BETWEEN THE CLASPEBS, OF NEW-
CASTLE-UPON-TYNE, AND THE CHAMPION ROBERT

. CREW.
In consequence of the disappointment expressed,
owing to the Claspers being unable to contend in the
Champion prize J.tebainst the Coombes' crew owing to
their breaking a thowl at the moment of starting, the
cotrimittee, in order to gratify the wishes of the company,
assisted by the gentlemen of the Universities, got up a
purse of 40/. 'to be rowed for by them and Coombe:3' crew.
The match created the most lively terest, and a great
deal, of mewl, was laid out at even.
The Claspers
R. Coombes' crew
The race amply repaid the subscribers for their libe-
rality k a greater was never seen upon the Thames.
Claspers took their station at the Buckinghamshire
shore, and both being in readiness, Mr. Egan, the
umpire, gavo the word for starting, and their oars
"clipped" the water at the same moment. Nothing
could be eyener than the start, nor finer than the pace
and style, the latter of which in both boats was of the
most finished order. The Claspers kept close to
their shore, and the Coombes' party made
their way down the middle, and ' continued oar
and oar to the Poplars, where by a most gallant
effort the Claspers drew their boat's nose about half
a length in advance. In this position, still at the same
extraordinary pace, they continued pulling with all their
might to the finish, which left the nose of Cuombes' boat
leverwith N0.,1 in the Claspers'. The greeting they
received proved the gratification the ex,rtions of the
rival crews had given. The distance was performed in
time ordinarily occupied by an eight-oared boat--Si
minutes.

It was a beautiful race all the way. Won by a length.
There, were two races rowed, matches apart from the
regatta. The principal of these was between F. Lett
and F. Cook, the former of Lambeth, the latter of Ox-
ford, for 251. aside, and turned out a capital match.
Cook jumped away with a blight lead, which ho in-
creased to two lengths, but his opponent rowed so gal-
lant a stern wager as to render the leading man at last
d iwnright powerless. Lett tackled him at the Poplars,
and rowed so hard that Cook became exhausted, and
could go no further. The other match was between
Penn, of Oxford, and Emmoney, of Eton, and was won
by the former easily.
