YORK AUGUST MEETING, &c.

Sc me good direct my judgment! Let me see."
Mer Chant of Venice, Act 3, Scene 2,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,—During the present week, Fortune, despite her
fickleness, has awarded me a very fair modicum of suc-
cess, which my sporting clients as well es myself are not
very likely to grumble at. Rsspectieg the Wolver-
hampton races, in any last observations on the Stakes I
selected Clothworker or Goldfinder to win, with Snow-
storm in close attendance; not being able to get " the
money" on Cloth worker, his winning was out of the
question, he run for fun, or for the amusement of the
Greenhorns not skilled in turf mysteries. My other
selection. Goldfinder, won comparatively easy, and Snow-
storm was in close attendance; the latter's mischievous
dug has not yet arrived; keep him, however, well in
view, he will be "in," under seven stone presently, then%
'no time to invest a trifle of the circulating medium on
/is chance. As I surmised, Alonzo won the Trial
Stakes with the most perfect ease, and The Prime
Minister walked over for the Produce Stakes. The
quareiana Derby crack was bandaged up to the knees,
and did not look particularly attractive to his St. Leger
backers; I am afraid his chance at Doncaster is not a
very brilliant one. First Fruits, also in the Produce
Stakes, went to the scene of action, but did not start; his
size, appearance, and action while out at exercise in the
34°1141g looked very promising. I placed Clothworker
third for the Cleveland Cup, and Hippogriff first ; the
latter went queer, and the former won, which verified
Mr. T. Parr's words that " Clothworker should win one
of the principal races at Wolverhampton." My Fancy's
debut was a triumphant one; she earned my judg-
bent through victoriously, by winning the Coils
ngton Stakes with ease. For the Parshull Stakes
third Placed Grief first, Le Juif second, and Green Oaks
; the result justified my so doing, as Grief was
first, Le Juif nowhere! and Green Oaks obtained the
third place. For the Holyoake Stakes my judgment
ran rearwise, I placed Egret first and Administrator
Second; they were beaten by Leap Year and ran home
in the second and third, instead of the first and second
I)7.lacea- At Huntingdon I was perfectly correct with
The Timid Fawn for the Huntingdon Handicap; but
Wrong; in the Two-years-old Stakes. At Reading, my
judgment ran second with Cranberry to Melford for the
Berkshire Stakes; bir;, was successful with Grey 7 ommy
for the Reading Stakes. One of those singular announce-
tnents that are occasionally made at " the Corner"
Ivan sent forth yesterday by Mr. Tattersall, who had
received a communication from a friend of Mr. Martinson's,
La which he stated that unless some individual betted
Mr, Martinson the odds at 5 to 1 to 1,0001., Nancy would
'tart for the Ebor Handicap. This announcement
had the effect of checking speculation on that, race, more
Particularly with respect to the mare, who was, how-
ever, quoted quoted at three to one. A curious rumour has
een credited in certain quarters with respect to Tae
has
Buck; it goes to far as to declare that he
as broken a rib or a leg, or something of that kind;
..r
▪ 4111 happy to say that I can give it the must unqualified
costradiciion; the horse, as late as yesterday, was doing
acrid work and looking uncommonly well; nothing
Would surprise me less panto ohs
se.2 him sweep the
,9reat Yorkshire Stakes into his owner's pocket,
le, and with ease too. Ore of the two great
~,,.Fthern meetings, that at York, commences on
friu duesday next with the Dundee Stakes, the entries

bhii,e,
sh have not yet been made. 'the meeting this
r to rival the palmist of its predecessors, if
not to surpass them, one and all, in value, sport, weather,
and attendance, four important constituents of a racing
reunion. The value of the stakes run for in 1848
a tthunted to 7,595/.; in 1849 to 6,8201; in 1850 to
8'285I; and in the present extraordinary year, it is
opposedC that they will surpass all of these by some
tandreds. The first great stake on Wednesday is the
t.,hor St. Leger, of 25 eovs, each, with 160 added, &c.,
8;0 miles over the old course. This stake has twenty -
yen subs. to it, but it will surpass my expectation it
the odd seven are sent to the post. At the present
i,ek"l,ling I should say that the race would iie between
4WMINSTER 8,1,d THE CONFESSOR, and that if they
rag the former he will be undeubti dly the winner.
411° Cult Settling Stakes of 50 soya. each, 30 ft,
c mile, will be won by CLATERHOUSE if they
Please to run him; We rwi-e, I must look to my second
third--Augur and Young Hawthorn, for the winner.
The Yorkshire Osks of 15 soya, each, 5 ft, with 100
Vldcd. Stc, ene mile and a quarter, sports no less than
atY-five nominations, including Iris, 9.t, whose running
I
tam by no means certain ot; Confidence, Bst 71b;
aitY, Bst 71b; The Squaw, Bst lib; Vivandiere, Bst;
%,bristina, Bst; and Breba, Bst. This is the lot from
ilhich the winner will spring, and in the absence of Iris,
must place my confidence in the daughter of Emilius
Lad Yarico. More übuut this anon. With a start I
aLioold select Home brewed (gibs eat! a) or Bird-on•the-
'ring to carry off the Prince of Wales's Stakes. Merry-
tn-round will win or receive forfeit in the 200 soya.
Match. Thursday's and Friday's races I will touch
