TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sir,—As far us it was possible to ascertain at nine
o'clock this morning, the following are the starters for
to•merrow's races:—Great Yorkshire Handicap—Cos-
sack, Vatican (d), Alorzo, Candlewick, Miss Ann, Post
Tempore, Panope, Oxford Blue, Chief Justice, The
Sweep, Young Atisidora, Clarissa, The Castle, Calcu-
lator, Knook Knoll (d), Antigone, Miss Julia Bennett
colt, True Blue (d), and Miss Whip colt. Champagne
Stakes—Augur, Bay Rosalind, Blackstone, Caracara,
Claverhouse (d), Wryneck colt, Daniel O'Rourke,
Home-brewed, Merry Monarch filly, Prince Patrick,
and, perhaps, Vortex. Stand Plate—Maid of
Team Valley (d), Brennus, Tom Holtby, Hun.
gerford, Miss Fanny, and Lady of the Grove.
Oxford Blue and Melody at the present writing very
dubious. A great many horses have arrived at the
scene of action, including Day's, Kent's, Parr's, Wad-
low's, Stebbing's, Walter's, Scott's end Lurnley's lots;
Sir Joseph Hawley's, consisting of The Ban, Aphrodite,
The Conf:ssor (a), Vatican (d), Teddington, and an-
other or two, are hourly expected. The latest accounts
respecting the St. Leger report the following as the
probable starters, viz.:—Lough Bawn, Clasher, Craws,
Hippolytus, Exeter, The Ban, Aphrodite, Hernandez,
First Fruits, Newminster, The Calculator, Lamar-
tine, colt by Charles the Twelfth, Miserrima, Knock
Knoll, Ephesus, and Goliah. Heart-breaker and
Azeth are doubtful. Bonnie Dundee, The
Prime Minister, Balsamo, Hothorpe, Grecian, Con-
fidence, Mountain Deer, Storm, Sir Rowland Trenchard,
with about ninety others of no account, are on the miss •
ing list. My opinion on to-morrow's races *emains un-
altered; CALCULATOR end Cossack, first and second for
the Great Yorkshire Handicap; Bay Rosalind and
Home-brewed in the first two places, with Augur, Prince,
Patrick, and Vortex close up, for the Champagne
Stakes; and in the absence of Oxford Blue, Little Fawn
or Brennur, to carry off the Stand Plate. The SL Leger,
as I have before remarked, lies between three—Sir Jo-
seph's couple and Hernandez; The Ban, from the amount
of money going " on," seemingly THE horse. My
final remarks on this race to-morrow, when I hope
the fickle goddess will favour me with my usual
success. The betting market this morning is uncom-
monly brisk ; the investments numerous and heavy, at
the following prices:—Great Yorkshire Handicap-7 to
2 agst the Calculator; 5 to 1 agst Cossack; 7 to 1 agat
Clarissa, taken freely; 8 to 1 agat Miss Ann; 10 to 1
each agat Antigone and Candlewick; 15 to 1 agst Miss
Julia Bennett colt. Champagne Stakes-6 to 4 agat
Home. brewed; 6 to 1 each agst Vortex, Augur, and
Daniel O'Rowke. St. Leger-7 to 4 agst Hernandez,
take 2 to 1; 3 to 1 agst the Ban, 7 to 2 taken to 4001.;
5 to 1 agat Aphrodite, offered; 10 to 1 agst Newmin-
star; 100 to 7 agst Ephesus; 16 to 1 agst Lamartine,
2,000 to 100, taken; 25 to 1 agst First Fruits; 50 to 1
agat Exeter, taken; 60 to 1 agst Cnteus; 100 to 1 each
agat Lough Bawn, Azeth, and Knook Knoll.
