SCRAPS FROM CHESTER.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,—Throughout a stormy day, which strai3gly re-
minded one of lntrepid's year (1845), the racing yester-
day, in strong contrast with that at Newmarket last week,
was excellent. Lord Waterford opened the ball in the
Grosvenor Stakes, by winning a pretty race, by three-
quarters of a length, with his Irish daughter of the Star
of Erin, dam by Tearaway, yclept Kick-up-the-Dust,
3 yrs, 6st; Mark Tapley, 4 yrs, Bst 51b, second; The
Cutler, 3 yrs, Est 31b, a good third; Alonzo, 4 yrs. Bst
51b, Spot, 5 yrs, Bst 121 b, and Vanguard, 5 yrs, 9st 1
lb, beaten two or three lengths. I have but little he-
sitation in asserting that my fancy animal for the
Mostyn Stakes (Lizzy) would have won, and easily too,
had she not fell before the start, and been knocked down
afterwards in the race by the favourite (The Greek),
who, as I predicted, would not be nearer than third,
the actual position in which he passed the post. Paddy
Bird won by a neck, from Bethgelert. Neither
Young Hawthorn or Lord Egliuton's colt rate.
Hurry Scurry won the Chesterfield Stakes very easily,
and bowled my judgment over in Coto. My remarks con-
cerning the Palatine Stakes were verified to the letter.
Merry Peal, under Marson's guidance, won very easily;
Tightwaist second. As I imagined, neither Vermuth.
Iris, or Hesse Romberg were started for this stake,
Avia leaving been beaten yesterday in a3O sovs. sweep-
stakes, Alderman Copeland's Drill, or Mr. Stebbing's
Guardsman, will clear the winning post first to-day for
the Roodee Produce Stakes. The Cup, I expect, will be
decided as I have already announced. Kick-up-the-
iu the Sixty Guinea
Guineas.
The race for
ptrhoebgabuielietny,,s
Dust Plate
the Triennial, to-morrow, will lay between Bethgelert
; will,
t nr. all
s
and March Bird, or Merry Bird, whichever, of the latter
two Mr. Osborne may feel disposed to start, The field
for the Dee Stakes will be composed of Badejoz,
Hyppolytus, The Deceitful, Colsterdale,
Sir Rowland Trenehard,
rnuth, Taghnitee, Moun-
tain Deer, The Black Doctor, Knook Kuoll
Queen Bee (d), and Lightfoot. The Mountain
Deer is reported to be queer, but, notwithstanding,
must go for him or Vermuth to win; with Lightfoot,
Hyppolytus, and The Black Doctor to fill the third,
fourth, and fifth places. The Chester Welter Cup to
Joe-o'-Sot or Cauriri. On Friday, for the Fourth Ces-
trian Stakes, I shall vote, without hesitation, for The
Black Doctor and Vermuth to fill the first two places;
Colsterdale, lanthe, Guardsman, and Drill, in the rear.
The Winal Stakes may possibly fall to Mr. Lister with
Lizzy, Tightweia second, and Truth third. The
Cheshire Stakes to Snowstorm or Sauter-la-Coupe.
The Free Handicap to The Pilot or Forester, former for
choice; Queen Bee close no. The Eaton Stakes to
Burry Scurry or Tightwaist, former for choice. This
concludes the bill of rare for Chester.
I am, Sir, yours, Sec.
