NEWCASTLE MEETING.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Snt,—The success which attended my prognostications
013 the Bibury Club races of Wednesday was vette
nearly equalled by that which confirmed my judgment
in two instances out of three in the contests for the
Stockbridge Triennials yesterday. Concerning the First
and Second Triennials, I observed, in Note 68, that
Cariboo would win the former, and Bee Hunter be
second ; and that Lamartine would win the latter,
Phlegethon or Glenhawk being second. Cariboo,
with odds on him, gave Bee hunter 21bs and
beat him in a common canter ! Sweetheart was
third. The Second Triennial Lamartine won very
cleverly by nearly a length, beating Glenhawk (second),
Phlegethon (third), and two others. Concerning the
Third Triennial, in the note named above, I remarked
that "Kingston, lately known as the Queen Anne colt, is
reported to be a certainty; I am not of that opinion;
the Goodwood horse shall have my loose cash on theday."
This opinion was founded on the idea that Kingston's
not very game finishing qualities would allow one of the
Goodwood horses, or, as I observed yesterday, any re-
spectable " fielder," to give him the go-by on,the post,
if it was a close affair within the distance. The race to
some slight extent justified my calculations, for, no
Goodwood horse starting, a " fielder," bearing the name
of the Chief Baron Nicholson, did all but accomplish the
task of beating Kingston on the post ; one of the moat
extraordinary races ever seen resulting in a couple
of dead heats ; after which the stakes were di-
vided. Joe Miller was a bad third, and The Chase
a worse fourth. Newcastle now puts forth its claina
to my consideration. This crack northern meeting com-
mences on Monday, and extends over four day s, and sports
an uncommonly good bill of fare. The first Triennal
Stakes, out of an entry of twenty-six, including the
names of Pitsford, The Knight of Avenel and The
Italian, will probably have some four or five starters,
and The Knight or The Italian, latter for choice, as
the winner. Should Songstress be up to the mark again,
she will win the Tyne Stakes ; in her absence Lady
Bird or Pelopidas may compass the winning trick. The
Second Triennial will, probably, fall to the lot of
Azeth, without (?) Bonnie Dundee should be sent to
the scene of action, in which case I should support the
latter. The Tyro Stakes has two names enrolled in the
entry, which puts all others into the shade. I allude to
Paddy Bird and The King of Trumps. For the Nor-
thumberland Plate, out ef seventy nominations and
thirty-eight acceptances, not more than fifteen
or sixteen will be screwed up to the sticking
point—the starting post ; the remaining twenty-
two or three having been put hors de combat
combat by various circumstances since the forfeits were
declared. The field, as near as I can tell at the present
moment, will consist of the following:—Elthiron, 5 yrs,
Bst 41b; Uriel, 5 yrs, 7st 121 b; Knight of Gwynne, 4
yrs, 7st 31b; Testator, 5 yrs, Est 121 b; Mulgrave, 4 yrs,
Est 81b; The Ebor, 4 yrs, Est 61b; Jenny Lind, 5 yrs,
6st 41b; Abdallah, 4 yrs, 6st; emus, 3 yrs, Sat 10Ib;
England's Glory, 3 yrs, sst 61b; Louis Napoleon, 3 yrs,
sst 61b; Neasham, 3 yrs, sst 41b (d); Knock Knoll, 3
yrs, sst; Jack Leeming, 3 yrs, 4st 101 b; and Cyclops,
3 yrs, 4st 81b. Elthiron carries a little too much weight
for his chance to be a first-rate. Uriel, I have some
doubts about his getting the distance. The distance and
weight is very favourable to Testator. Mulgrave and
The Ebor, I think, are held quite safe by Jenny Lind,
who, with the feather-weight of 6st 41b on her back,
ought to be close in the track of the winner,
if not the absolute A 1; but I'm afraid she is scarcely
fast enough for some of her competitors. Abdallah at
6st, looks dangerous. Cnatus will run home in front, as
will England's Glory, and Neasham also, if he starts.
The three feathers at the bottom ef the handicap have a
chance of distinguishing themselves now if they never
had before. The final struggle, I imagine, will lay be-
tween Testr.tor and England's Glory, with Neasham (if
he runs), Uriel, Jenny Lind, Elthiron, and areas well
up; passing the post, perhaps, in the following order:—
TESTATOR . 1

to visit the renowned
by iinCincogndsoem-quednaciely,of the facilities afforded
the different railway companies at moderate prices, on
taking return tickets. On inquiry at the different metro-
politan railway stations. the number who have already ar-
rived from various counties, particularly the large manufac-
turing districts :of Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool,
Sheffield, Leeds, Berwick, Nottingham, Paisley, Glasgow,
and the North, and the mining localities, has exceeded
250,000 to 300,000 persons, as not a morning train arrives
but what is filled with passengers, so that during the re-
mainder of the present and following month, it will not be far
less than 1,000,000. Notwithstanding this great addition to
the metropolis, the shopkeepers, publicans, and hotel-keepers,
do not derive the benefit that might be expected from such
an influx, as the greater portion return the same evening,
without visiting anything beyond the " great attraction of
the day, the World'a Fair." The British Museum, National
Vernon Gallery, St. Paul's Cathedral, Westminster
Gallery, Vernon
other places now open to the public gratis, have
however, been visited by thousands daily. From France,
Belgium, Holland, and Germany, the arrivals both by
steam-boats direct, from Boulogne, Calais, and Ostend, to
London-bridge (by return tickets), or via Dover, Folketone,
Southampton, and Brighton, by railway/ are deny Inclll3lns
rapidly.
