London, England, 1851-07-16 00:00:00

SIR,—The THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
great gun of the Liverpool Cup,. in tb•
spin for the Burghley Stakes, was
yesterday converted
into a pocket pistol by the long-laid-up Westow, atm
receiving eight pounds from Strongbow beat him in an
unconditional canter by ten or twelve lengths ; Cane at
sst 71b a bad third, and King Charming at 6st 71b a
miserable fourth. Westow, should be get "in " at a
reasonable weight, would be a " good thing "'for the
Cesarewitch; more of this anon. Telescope, as a matter
of course, won the Stamford St. Leger easily enough
from that wretched specimen of a race horse—Cane.
Brother to Willingham, likewise, accomplished
the triumphant cantering business in this rue.
(if race it could be called, considering his antago-
nist was beaten all the way) for the Handicap Plate.
My fancy Poetess was beaten rather easily by Prance
for the Two Years Old Stakes; the Toga filly. finishing
a wretched third. France, after cutting up m a very
queer style kahort time since, has once more coma
out in her Northampton form; she will win the 15 Son.
Stakes to-day, I fancy, almost without an effort. The
Stamford Gold Cup must fall to the lot of Ninus, Lord
Exeter's nag and King Charming obtaining the second
and third places. To-morrow's sport at Nottingham is,
for the place, perfectly unprecedented, and of a quality
the committee of management could not have dreamt of
last year. The Sherwood Handicap, a mile and a quarter,
heads the list, which Dawson, with one of his couple, can
secure if he pleases. A Plate of 50 soya., a mile and a'half,
closes to sight. The Two Years Old Stakes I should book I
certainty with a start to Shylock's brother; and, if he
runs, give Doubtful the second place. Lady Amyott
and Columbine, the latter a slapping filly, have several
admirers. For the Nottinghamshire Handicap most of
the following will be found at the post to-morrow, viz.:—
Alp, 5 yrs, 7st 1216; Herbert, 5 yrs, 7st 91b; Montague.
yrs, 7st 91b; Oxford Blue, 4 yrs, 7st 51b; Cocktail. Co
yrs, 7st 31b; Valentine, 4 yrs, 7st llb; Castle, 4 yrs, Est
91b; Snowdrift, 4 yrs, Est 51b; Goldfinder, 3 yrs, 6st 41b;
Follow-me-lads, 3 yrs, Est 21b; Avis, 3 yrs, Sat 121b3
Coropbel, 3 yrs, sst 121 b; Duster, 3 yrs, sst 71b; and
Vivandiire, 3 yrs sst 71b. The run of " the money"
has been principally upon Herbert, Montague, Cock-
tail, and Follow-me-lads; of this quartette I
feel inclined to back MONTAGUE and Cocktail
in preference to the other two; at the same time
I shall expect to see Snowdrift and Vivandiere close up,
with Herbert and Alp at the head of the ruck. Follow-
me-lads as the absolute winner, I cannot have, notwithe
standing the " talent," for the most part, are " on" this
animal. In the absence of the Mountain Flower for the
Bunney Park Stakes, I should patronize one of the
Birds, and as Mr. Pileiklani may run Evadne in pre-
ference to Paddy Bird, wby 1 must e'en go for the
Merry Bird on this occasion. The attractive portion of
the entry for the Chesterfield Handicap is composed
of the Maid of Mastmeo, 6 yrs, 9st lib; Montague,
5 yrs, ;fit 21b; Oxford Blu., 4 yrs, ist 71b; Remunerator.
4 yrs, 6it 411); and Coropbee, 3 yrs, Set 41b. Both the
Maid of Mtv-ham and Remunerator, should they atart, are
god 'enough, in my opinion, to beat the rest; should
they, however, be eon est at the critical moment, coca-
meted me then to NiontaZire us the vtinnikr, with Oxford
