SCRAPS FROM EPSOM AND NEWMARKET.

"Pregnant with thousands flies the scrap about."—POPE,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—The Ban's victory at Epsom in the race fur the
Metropolitan Handicap had a most electrical effect upon
tne nerves of the public; the horse sent to the scene of
acts n at thelast moment was actually left out of the
list of starters on the cards of the day, and
consequently, except while running, and in a
few other rare instances, not bucked for
a single farthing; several of the book-makers cleared
handsome stakes varying from 2,000/. to 10,0001., but in
not one single instance have I heard of any of the public,
with the exception of Sir J. Hawley, who only
.sported
a cool hundred on it, dropping in for a "good thing." I,
having understood that be would not be sent, did not
take his chance into consideration, but gave the race to
Crmus and Sunrise, who ran home a bad third and
fourth. My selection for the Two years old Stakes, Flirt
and the Old Lad, were first and second; they beat a
large field, but all behind them belong to the trashy
class. The great City crack, Prince Rapert, that was to
have carried all before him, verified my prophetic words
in Note No. 26, where I remarked, that it was " with
him as with The Greek at Northampton, HIS DAY has not
arrived. I was on the wrong scent altogether for the
City and Suburban Handicap; old Elthiron, with
Bst 51b on his back, winning very cleverly from Eva,
same age, 6st 91b, and Pitsford, 4 yrs, Bst 51b—there was
not halt a length between the trio. The performance of;
the last named must be borne in mind; it was first rate
he gave his year to Elthiron, and his year and 191bs to
Eva, allowing for her, sex. The day's sport altogether
was excellent, and indicative of what we may expect
throughout the year.
On Friday lust I put forth my view of the New-
market running for the present week, and up to the
present time find I have but few alterations to make
in the same. To-day's races will have a slight
effect upon future events, as, bar an accident, in
my opinion, it is a certainty for Midas for the
R. M. Stakes, which if it proves so, he will
put in a stronger appearance in the Derby market, and
may find supporters for the Two Thousand Guineas; and,
moreover, should Iris win the D. M. Stakes, beating
Coticula, it will make her a great pet for the One Thou-
sand Guineas and Oaks. The running and jumping ca-
pers of the high-spirited Hesse Homburg at Epsom sent
her up some fifty per cent. in my estimation for the New-
market Handicap; which fact, with the price at which
she was being backed on the Downs, was published in
the Express Edition of The Sun on Friday evening. In
note No. 28, of that day, I selected Antigone as the re-
presentative of the Goodwood stable; she is, however,
now superseded by Hesse Homburg, who, in my opinion,
will supersede all others in the race; the result, I fancy,
will be something after this style:—
HESSE HOMBURG 1
QUASIMODO or CHAMPION
BUSHRANGER or WINDISCHGRATZ 3

LONDON,

Exclusive a

)f Advances.

Bushranger and Windischgratz have been supported
heavily during the last few days, and their prices this
morning are quoted at 6 and 4to 1. It is said Pitaford
will go; if he does, he will run up. Hernandez will win
the Riddleswortb, and find backers for the Derby at 33
to 1, or else will be beaten by Naptha, and sent to the
right about. The field for the Column Stakes, it is pre-
sumed, will consist of Lady Sale filly, Payment, Ariosto,
Merry Peal, Black Sea, or Palmyra filly. Trinket and
Hatherton ; the result as follows :
ARIOSTO (Nat) 1
PAYNIENT (Bartholomew) 2
MERRY PEAL (Marson) 3
The field fur the Port Stakes is likely to be larger thau
I anticipated last week, viz:—Clincher, the Knight of
Avenel, Bee Hunter, Officious, and King of Oude.
The latest betting up to twelve o'clock this day:—
Riddlesworth-2 to 1 on Hernandez. Newmarket Han-
dicap-2 to 1 agst Hesse Homburg, 9to 2 agst Win-
dischgratz, 6 to 1 agst Bushranger, 8 to 1 agst Cham-
pion. Column Stakes—Even on Ariosto. Port Stakes
—Even on Tho Bee Hunter, 3 to 1 agst the Knight of
Avenel, sto 1 agst Clincher. 2,000 Guineas—New-
minster in force at 3to 1. Derby and Chester Cup—
no change.
