police-constable, and asked him if he had heard of the fire?
He said yes, and asked if Mr. Marsden was witness's in.
epector? Witness said he was; and the prisoner said be bad
had a conversation with him about the fire. Witness then
produced the pipe, and asked him if he could give any an°
count of it? He said he would answer no questions, as he

ODDS AND ENDS CONCERNING LIVERPOOL
ILSLEY, AND NOTTINGHAM MEETINGS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN

SIR,— • he straw-coloured jacket is once more v ictorione
in a race of note; Lord Clitden's Strongbow having carried
it triumphantly past the post an easy winner by a couple of
lengths for the Liverpool Cup. It is nearly three years since
his Lordship won a great race, and then with Surplice he
swept the two great events of the year, the Derby and St.
Leger. Strongbow won the Cup uncommonly easy, not
a horse in the race baying a chance with him ; I remarked
of him in note No. 77, that " the five year old
Strongbow, at 7st '2lb, must possess a respectable chants
this time at such a weight as the handicapper has allotted
to him ' • the only fear I entel tain with respect to him is that h&
will find the distance a little ,460 far; he, however, will be one of
the first four." The cracks (Officious and Russborough) were,
beaten somewhat easily by die Abbess of Jerveaux
WindiscligrAtz, who were second and third; Officious fourth,
Russborough fifth, with the Marciais and Colsterdale next;
the pace was good all the way. Strongbow afterwards woa
the Derby Handicap. giving Chief Justice 181bs. for the year,
and a good beating into the bargain. My remarks in note
No. 80, concerning the victory of the non•favourite for the
Foal Stakes were realized to the letter, I observed that
Pandemus "may just pull through, but it will be as much ash!
can accomplish by straining every nerve." He Wol
from the third of May with some difficulty h:f
half a length. During the ensuing week five meetinf'S
will claim the attention of the sporting world, two of whit.qt
it is my present intention to glance at. Ilsley on Wednesdat
sports a couple of Stakes worth noticing. The Berkshire
Stakes, I understand, is a booked certainty for something or
other, which I fancy will turn out to be Fugleman at Bet
71b, or Brington at 6st 91b; the latter for choice. The Ilslel
Stakes will produce a pretty race with three, which may ter..
minate in the victory of Bri,annia or Lady Bkriche, with
Leybourne iu the third position; the remainder of the entry
I have no fancy for. In consequence of " a move" being
afl at connected with the Nottinghamshire Handicap, I shill:
postpone my opinion on the Nottingham races until to.,
morrow or Monday.
