TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN

Sre.,—A great many of the " early birds" were out
with the lark this morning on the Downs, to watch the
movements of the numerous horses out at exercise, my
correspondent among the number, which enables me (as
I can rely upon his judgment and eyes as well as my
own) to lay before you the following, in some instances,
no doubt, startling facts. Among the earliest horses out
was the quondam crack, the Prime Minister, who, in
the company of the Sister to Wanots, took a rattling
gallop. He looked uncommonly well; was, as has been
before remarked, rather fleshy; has not grown much
since last year; is a low horse, possessing large strong
quarter; stands about 15 hands 2i inehes, and is very
muscular. He is a quick starter, but very fidgetty. It
is asserted that he cannot stay the distance: I have
some doubts on the point, but still think he is good enough
to Leone of thefirst three, if not the absolute winner. Aaron
Smith, from the same stable; looked much improved upon
his Warwick form. The Marlborough Buck and Eloot at-
tracted a good deal of attention; the former was much
admired, he took a strong gallop; the latter had a gentle
canter and disappeared. Hernandez was not thought
much of; he, however, is the picture of perfection so far
as condition is concerned. Buckhound makes the run-
ning for him. Brother to Chanticleer is a strong, cora•
pact, importation from the sister isle; he took strong ex-
ercise, and pulled up fresh. Lord Eglinton's couple
were out some time, both took a stiff spin, and looked
particularly blooming;
neither will win the Derby. Heart-
breaker's style of mounting the Lill was capital; he'll
run forwa ird n the race. Guy Mannering ana Pay-
ment were also out, the latter, reported to have broken
down, took gentle exercise, and may yet convince
her opponents in the ring that hor chance on
Friday is no hoar. Ilesse Homburg looked and
went well, ei aid Catalpa, Lainartine, Louis
Napoleon, Midas, Runnymede, Narcissus, .Bucktborne,
i
anti the Black Docter. The course, notwithstanding
the numerous showers that fell yesterday, s rather hard
than otherwise. The field for the great event of to-
morrow, will be composed, as near as I earl possibly
tell at the present moment, of the following:—The
Prime Minister, The Marlborough Buck (Whitehouse),
Ilernandtz (Nat), Teddington (Matson), Heartbreaker
(Butler or Bartholomew), Theseus (S. Rogers), Lamar.
t'ne, Mountain Deer (A. Day), Neasham (Holmes),,
Midas (Norman), Constellation (Templem?,e). Wen-
hae k (Dackeray) '..P.elet:cop2 (Sly), Bonnie Dundee
(Sharp). Amato, The Ban (Pearl), The Tout, Guy
M*ntrering (probably --Barthalomew);---HProlYtus
(Marlow) £lOl5 Napoleon (Prince), Newmitiater. Hun-
et:erford (Fenn), `rho Black Doctor (Osborne), Runny-
mede, cult by Tearaway (Simpson), Bro to Chanti-
cleer, colt by Epirus, Azeth, Serus, England's Glory
(Wintringham), ,Buckhound (Kitchener), and Black
Douglass. My final opinieus on the foregoing are as
follows:--Buckhound, England's Glory, Serus, Azeth,
colts by Epirus and Tearaway; Runny mede,
The Black , Doctor, Ilungerfora, Newminscir,
Louis Napoleon, Guy Mannering, The Tout, The
Ban, Ai iosto, Telescope and Glenhawk, I find by my
accounts from Epsom and Leatherhead this morning,
are, one and all, to be turned into the hopeless class;
NOT ONE OF THEM POSSESSING THE GHOST OF A CHANCE
( F WINNING ! Midas, Constellation, Neasham, Moun-
tain Deer, Hyppolytus, Bonnie Dundee, and Theseus,
will form the foremost portion of the ruck; NOT ONE OP
THIS SECOND LOT BEING GOOD ENOUGH TO WIN !

" Oh ! who can count—not Pindar's self—
The names now put upon the shelt ?
Oh! who can count the trembling hopes
IVhen Epsom all its glories open?"
Now for the first flight; it will, I fancy, consist of the
Premier, the Buck, liarnandez, Teddington, Heart-
br2aker, and Lamartine; one of this lot, 1 am convinced,
must be 'the trump card to-morrow! As I remarked
yesterday, " if The PRIME MINISTER fails me, I shall
rely On HERNANDEZ &Hid THE MARLBOROUGH BUCK to
pull my judgar-nt through triumphantly;" fully ex-
pecting to see Teddington in the third or fourth position,
with Heartbreaker and Lamartine close up. Were Ito
place them, it would be thus—
THE PRIME MINISTER or
HERNANDEZ 1
THE MARLBOROUGH BUCK 2
TEDDING TON
HEARTBREAKER 4
The latest betting this day at Epsom, up to half-past
twelve, is as follows :—Derby-10 to 3 agst Teddington;
13 to 2 agst Hernandez; Bto 1 agst The Marlborough
Buck; 8 to 1 agst The Prime Minister; 16 to 1 agst
Constellation; 16 to 1 agst Theseus; 25 to 1 agst
Heartbreaker; 25 to 1 agst Lamartine; 25 to 1 egst
Hyppolytus; 25 to 1 agst The Black Doctor; 50 to 1
agst Bonnie Dundee; 1000 to 15 agst Guy Mannering;
1000 to b agst Serus; 1000 to 5 agst Black Douglass.
Neasham was nominally at 20 to to 1, Mountain Deer
and The Ban at 33 to 1, and Newminster and the Tear-
away colt 50 to 1 each. 41F"-

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY.
The transactions to-day, although within two days of
the Derby, were limited in amount, and, except in two
or three instances, without any material influence on the
quotations. We may select the following horses as
having been strongest in the market: —Tedding.
ton, backed for several hundred pounds at 10 to 3
and 7 to 2, Marlborough Buck, Theseus, The Black
Doctor, and Neasham. Hernandez and Hippolytus
maintained their positions, but were not in force. The
Prime Minister opened at 8 to lovent back a couple of
points,
rallied a little, and left off at 9 to 1, taken, hav-
ing, however, some determined opponents. Constella-
tion receded to 17 to 1, and left off almost friendless.
The most noticeable " outside" betting was against
Glenhawk, Mr. Davis accommodating all customers at
1,000 to 10, until he had laid 50,0001. against him! It
is now calculated that there will be at least 30 runners.
Very little was done on the Oaks, but a decline was to
be noticed in Aphrodite, and an improvement of ten
points in Payment. Closing prices:—
