TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Yesterday's racing came off much as I expected it
would; Hesse Homburg won the Handicap in the easiest of
canters; Hernandez repeated the same dose for the Riddles-
worth ; and, in short, everything has come off much about
what I prognosticated in my Notes. The only exception
was for the 100 sous. Stakes, where I more than half-ex-
pected Heartbreaker would bowl Ariosto over; he has done
so, and established his right to be considered a Derby fa-
vourite ; 1,000 to 30 is taken about him, at which price he
ought to be supported, according to the odds; but mark me,
lee has but little thence of winning the Derby. Hernandez is
worth backing at 50 to 1, for no other purpose than hedging.
I did not publish any extraordinary information concerning
the Column on hearing of the dgeat of Ariosto yesterday, on
account of thinking that Ariosto is quite good enough to win
that stake ; or, should he miss it, Merry Peal or Payment is
quite certain of obtaining premier honours. The latest bet-
ting this morning up to twelve o'clock is as follows:—Co-
lumn Stakes—Even on Ariosto ; 4 to 1 agst Merry Peal ; 4 to
1 agst Payment; 10 to 1 agst any other. Port Stakes-5 to
4 on Bee Hunter, offered. Derby-30 to 1 agst Heart-
breaker; 66 to 1 agst Ariosto.

by Hesse Homburg and the John o'Gaunt colt, the former
leading, in attendance on them being Flare-up, Bushranger,
Woolwich, and Tophana; this body laid in front until half-
way up the hill out of the Ab M. Bottom, the second
place
then being surrendered by John :o'Gaunt colttloaidWwooitlhwihcher,
who went up to the favourite at the turn, and
a few strides, and then fell away beaten, the mare going on
with a decided lead, and winning a very true run race by
two lengths, Tophana beating Champion for the second
money by three lengths, Bushranger fourth, and Woolwich
fifth. Run in 3 nain.ol9 sec.
It is rather singular that Mr. Gratwicke lost the Metro-
politan Handicap last year with Cheerful, and won the New-
market Handicap with her, and that with Landgrave he was
beaten for the Cesarewitch, and afterwards won the Cam-
bridgeshire.
There was a much better company on the course than on
the first day, and the racing possessed very considerable in-
terest, bat the weather was cold and gloomy enough for No-
vember, and the day, for what has usually been a " grand
day," in all respectsLbAelToEwstTheßaEvrreragwe.
