TUE NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

8111,—Having disposed of Monday's meet Tueidal's
races yesterday, I will now proceed to a consideration of
the remainder of the sport at 11,?.r.1d quarters next week.
There are .7 subs. to the I). M. 50 Sovs. Stakes, run on
Wednesday, for which Firebolt and Naphtha will secure
the two first places. Another, sweepstakes, of 50 sous.
1_40)1, over the D. M., having 4 subs., ought to be won
by Crotchet. A third sweepstakes of 50 boys. each,
A. P., will be contested by Giuevra and one of tee
Goodwood stable, and ought to be won by the latter.
For the match; I should prefer Magnes to Convulsion, if
'um; On Thursday, a sweepstakes of 100 teays. each
opens the game, which will lie between Ariosto and
Croupier, the former, of course, for choice; Back Sea,
if he runs, third. Theo follow' the Ooe Thousand
Guineas Stakes, much mere often pregnant with the late
of the Oaks ttiaii is the 2,000 Guine,ta of the Derby. Per
this stake a good field will await the word of command
of Pulg-Marshal Hibbard, consistirg, in all prohebility, of
the kilowing .—Aphrodite, Phlegm, Turtle, Gay Lasi,
C'oticula (d), Prima Donna (d), The Squaw or tuspacti,
Itarctionts or Glendale. Merry -1),,41 (d), Irickstress,
Ptitisy, Fortuna (d), Pandora, Mexilo and Iris. It does
not seem probable that Vermiith be found among
the starters, Aphrodit4 being quite good enough to take
e%re of Sir Joseph Hawley's iatereets. Concerning the
Chances of the fillies engaged in this stake 1 remain of
the same opinion as expressed in Ncte No. 3, of the 23d
'January last. I tnen remarked, Out "Scott's lot con-
tained, in addition to Conflience sand Trickstress, Iris;
the latter a very tidy daughter of Ithuriel, snowing the
!dock from whence she sprang all o'er; bur, by way of
'pruning up, I think they must at give way to Sir
u*Ph's flyer." lam pretty much of the same opinion
nor as then; I still think that the ram will show Iris and
Ohrodite in front, but, I alSo fancy that L,Rd Exeter's
hlegra will be found there likewise. To this trio I
'Ward the three foremost places; and should Hernandez
wilt the 2,000 guineas by any warner of chance, I
'heuld then take Phlegm as the winner of the 1,000
guineas; but, as my opinions rest at present, I am in-
clined to place—
APHRODITE (Marston) 1
PHLEGRA ••• ••• ... :Norman) 2
IRIS (Butler) 3
d I do this in the face of a report, that Isis is not quite
41) to the mark.
The only race on Friday on the list at present is that
for the Newmarket Stakes, which, at seven-eighths of
,the nominations (26) will be non est, is all but a certainty
for Sir Joseph Hawley with TEDDINGVON or THE CON..
PEIBOII.
Little or no betting took place yesterday, but a few
!Pirited investments have been made this morning. The
tollowing_ are the prices en the Newmarket events up to
• twelve o'clock this day:-50 Sovs. Stales (Moeday),.2 to
