ANTICIPATIONS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—Yesterday's races exemplified the uncertain
nature of horse-flesh speculations; Claverhouso, after
winning the Ham Stakes in a canter, with odds on him
runs fourth and last fur the 200 Soya. Sweepstakes;
Filius winning the race easily, Houlakin second, and
Herschel third. I have reason to believe, however, that
Claverhoso went dead amiss on Wednesday evening.
Lord Eglintoun's colours were also overthrcwn in the
spin for the Racing Stakes, Sir Joseph Hawley's Con-
fessor winning from Hippolytus and Buckhound as he
pleased, and almost without an effort; thus another crack
was disposed of. The Molecombo was the third instance
of tho "glorious uncertainty" (as it has been termed) of
the turf; Maidstone, with 2 to 1 betted on him, never
once showing in the race; Nat, on Glenluce, making all
the running and winning easily by a length, in 1 min
18 sees; the Merry Monarch filly second, Ambrose third,
Maidstone fourth, and The Chief Baron Nicholson last.
Tho Bontinck Memorial Stakes were won, es I antici-
pated they would be, by the flying daughter of Orlando
and Elopement—Bay Rosalind; Rad Hind was a good
second, Houlekin a bad third, and Happy Joe a most
unhappy fourth and last. The Cup race is easily de-
scribed. The field laid well together to the distance,
where it was completely up with all but Nancy and
Cossack, the former just winning, with nothing to spare,
by a short head! After the race Mr. Pedley objected to
Nancy on the score of age; an examination of her mouth
will take place to-day before the commencement of the
races. The pace was not by any means great. Time,
4 min 59 EMS.

The only meeting of any note next week will be at
Brighton, and at that delightful marine spot the sport
on this occasion will surpass any that has ever taken
place there before. I shall merely glance at the priu•
cipal stakes now, and leave the minor events and parti-
culars for consideration on Monday or Tuesday. The
Marine Stakes will be carried off by the Goodwood
stable, probably with HARBINGER. The Pavilion Stakes,
I fancy, may be booked to Mr. Payne with his FREE-
Dom; Lassitude and Sulky in the second and third posi-
tions. Landgrave, Ninus, or Pitsford will compass the
winning feat in the race for the Brighton Cup, but at
the present moment not knowing whether Pitsford or
Landgrave will run, I am unable to speak with alq_i_:,

agst Clincher, and 50 to 1 agst Glenhawk.
Glenhawk went away with the lead, followed in a ruck
by Cariboo, the two foreign horses, Nancy, and Cos-
sack, this being the order, however, only to the distance
post, Lord George there taking the second place, and
Cariboo dropping behind Monies. Glenhawk carried
on the running to the mile post, where he gave way,
and Cariboo took it nP, followed closely by Lord George,
Nancy, Montes, and Cossack; most of the others well
up. There was no further change of any moment until
they were round the last turn. Cariboo cow showed
symptoms of distress, and at the bottom of the hill ho
was out of the race. Nancy and Cossack now went
right away from their horses, the mare leading three or
four lengths. The horse, however, drew upon her in-
side the distance, and was within a length of her oppo-
site the stand, but never quite up, the mare, after a
surprisingly-exciting race,
winning by a head, Cntous a
bad third, Landgrave fourth, Clincher fifth, and Cariboo
sixth. Run in 4 min. 59 secs.
Mr. Pedley has called upon the stewards to have
Nancy's mouth looked at, and the examination is ordered
