RETROSPECTIVE GLANCES AT TEE BED
FORD AND MANCHESTER AUTUMN MEET
INGS, &c.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—At both the Bedford and Manchester meetings
up to the present writing my prognostications have been
gifted with more than ordinary success; at the former,
as I remaiked last week, the Bedfordshire Stakes were
a certainty for Retail, he having had the race in hand
from end to end, winning by a clever length from
Panope; Leap Year a good third, The Wren and Ched-
dington beaten off. I gave it also as my opinion that
the Two Years Old Stakes were considered an equally
conclusive affair in favour of Grey Tommy, altogether
this time overlooking my fancy Peppermint, who beat
the Grey into fits: the Grey finishing a geed fifth, Ham-
bletonian second, Fidgetty Girl third, Ethel wolf
fourth, St. Andrew, the My Dear colt,
Dangerous, and Gilbert Gurney colt, being
where anybody might naturally expect they
would be—nowhere! The other races at Bedford,
with the exception of the Scurry Eandicep, are not
likely to affect any future event of consequence; and
this being only half a mile, I cannot discover the reason
why, on the strength of Manifold's victory, ho should be
backed for the Cambridgeshire, which was the latest move
up last night.. Tho Manchester meeting, which, by the
bye, was the first some seven years ago I tried my pro-
phetic quill and brain on, and with singular success
to), naming the wiener in every instance, is likely to be
equalled this time, and is so as far as the first day is
concerned. The Champegne Handicap for two years
old I considered would fill to the lot of the High
Sheriff; hut as some doubts were expressed as to his
start*, 1 took the light weight Liberty to successfully
represent the Sheriff's parties' interests. It is somewhat '
superfluous to remark that Liberty won cleverly;
Richard Primer obtaining the second place, and Captain
Flash the third. The Autumn Welter Handicap was
decided in favour of Mr. Carew's Agis, who I predicted
would turn up the trump card. My remarks on the
Great Autumn Handicap were all but verified to the
letter; one of my selected two—Triekstress—winning
cleverly by a length, Woolwich second, about whose
chance I observed, that ho was burthened with too
much weight; and so it turned out, for had he been re-
lieved of some eight or ten pounds he must have won,
being one of the gamest little horses in the kingdom.
With the exception of Lady Eden, who was the third,
the field was scattered here, there, and everywhere.
To-day's racing of course cannot touch upon at pre-
I rent, so will proceed to give a few hints on the First
October (query) Meeting at head-quarters.
Imprimis, it should be borne in mind by the dab-
blers in the odds, that the Nancy entered for
the Third Triennial Produce Stakes is by
Launcelot, out of Camilla, and was the property
of Mr. Moore; but a vast number of the sporting public
have already taken a fancy to throw away their super-
fluous cash on this mare, considering her to be the
Nancy of the Goodwood and Chester Cups instead of
the wretch it is, doing, I believe, common hack work at
the present time. In the Second Triennial Produce
Stakes Russborough figures among the entries, and
might perchance tempt some to back him; for very
potent reasons, however, well known to his noble nomi-
nator, he cannot start. It is not my present intention to
enter into a full analysis of the animals' chances engaged
in the various stakes in this meeting, but shall merely
observe, before throwing down my pen, that Lord Exeter
and Mr. Gratwicke will take the principal and
second monies of the Grand Duke Michael
Stakes—that HERNANDEZ or the BAN will win the
Third Triennial—the NIGGER the Second Triennial
—MERRY PEAL or MIDAS the St. Leger Stakes—
and LAPIDIST, in the absence of Hobby 11 oble, will se-
cure the Fourth Triennial. Greyleg, a chesnut colt by
Pantaloon, oat of Black Bess, has been much talked
about for this last-named stake in the various sporting
circles of the City and West-end, and something superior
is expected of him. The betting last night and this
morning has evinced an amount of briskness quite un-
common of late; the following are the latest quotations:
—Chesterfield Handicap (Manchester)-5 to 2 agst Ri-
baldry, take 3 to 1, 7 to 2 agst Trickstress, 5 to 1
agst Worcester, 5 to 1 agst the Calculator, 8 to 1 agst

ter's lot. Second Triennial—Even on the Nigger, 4 to
