ODDS AND ENDS CONCERNING VARIOUS

RACES.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sia,—At Newton yesterday the Golborno Stakes
was a walk over for Medlock, and the Gold Cup a
mere canter for the Abbess of Jervaux, as she won
by something not much short of a dozen lengths.
She is in the 100 sovs. Handicap on Friday, and at 6st
131 b, penalty included, is not to be despised. Her prin-
cipal opponents will be Oxford Blue at ist 31b, and Ring.
leader at 6st 31h; Egret, Bst 21b, bas, I fancy, a little too
much weight up; and Unity will not run. Le Juif, 6st
51b and 71b penalty, cannot be expected to accomplish
the winning teat this time; although, if she runs, I have
but little doubt she will cbtain a very forward place.
My remarks on the Bibury Meeting yesterday were
verified to the letter by the running. I ob-
served in Note No. 68 that I should "patronise
the Aitch Bone" for the Champagne Stakes; that the
Bibury Stakes would be " a canter fur Guardsman;"
and that the Produce Stakes would " be won by the En-
terprise colt, the Knight of the Thistle filling the second
place." Aitch Bone won the first event by a neck from
Snarler and two others; Guardsman cantered over for
the second event ; and the Enterprise colt beat the
Knight of the Thistle and two others very cleverly for
the third event. The " return lists" of to-day's racing
at Stockbridge will, I fancy, place Bee Hunter and Cari-
boo first and second for the First Triennial; Lamartine
and Glenhawk first and second for the Second Trien-
nial; and Houlakin or " a fielder " first, and Kingston
second for the Third Triennial. My opinion on the Win-
chester events remains unaltered. I have reason to believe
that the field for the Northumberland Plate will, as nearly
as possible, be composed of the following :—Elthiron,
5 yrs, Bst 41b; Uriel, 5 yrs, 7st 121 b; Chantrey, 5 yrs,
Ist 31b; Knight of Gwynne, 4 yrs, 7st 31b; Testator,
5 yrs, 6st 121 b; The Ebor, 4 yrs, 6st 61b; Jenny Lind,
5 yrs, 6st 41b; Abdallah, 4 yrs, 6st ; Cnieus, 3 yrs, sst
101 b; England's Glory, 3 yrs, sst 61b; Neasham, 3 yrs,
sst 41b (d); Jack Leeming, 3 yrs, 4st 101 b; Knook
Knoll, 3 yrs, sst ; and Cyclops, 3 yrs, 4st Sib. My
opinion on their chances to-morrow; meanwhile I may
as well observe that a middle weight is much more
likely to carry off the Plate than a top or light weight.
For the Liverpool Cup, Strongbow at ist 21b; Abbess
of Jervaux at 6st 71b; Colsterdale at sst 71b; and Breba
at sst, seem to me to be the best " in." I was not far
from the bull's eye when I remarked, in my ob-
servations on the Goodwood Stakes on Friday
last, that " not above three dozen or two
score" would cry content to the weights imposed ; the
number that have done so being one more than I calcu-
lated on, that is, forty-one. My particular fancies for the
race, Vampyre and Borneo, will be found among the ac-
ceptances, as will Kick-up-the-Dust, Clarissa, and Nar-
cissus, the two forming my reserve. My Chester Cup
cockboat, Duc-an-Durras also accepts; should he start,
he will be found, in the company of Old Dan Tucker, in
the front at the finish. Clasher, hall-brother to Clincher,
by Launcelot, at his present price (20 to 1), is worth
an investment for the St. Leger. He is well on his " pins,"
and will turn out a much better horse than Clincher.
The betting last night and this morning was and
is somewhat brisker than usual at the following
prices. First Triennial-6 to 4on Cariboo, 2to
1 agst Beehunter. Second Triennial-2 to lon Lamar-
tine, 5 to 1 agst Phlegethon, 5 to 1 agst Glenbawk.
Third Triennial-6 to 4,7 to 4, and 2to 1 agst King-
ston (taken freely), 3 to 1 agst Houlakin-5 to 1 agst
The Chase. Northumberland Plate-7 to 2 agst Uriel,
8 to 1 each agst England's Glory, Testator, Jenny Lind,
and Neasham; 12 to 1 agst Cyclops, 15 to 1 agst El-
thiron. July Stakes-2 to 1 agst Phryne colt. Ches-
terfield Stakes-3 to 1 agst Lapidist, 3to 1 agat Am-
brose. Liverpool Cup-8 to 1 agst Strongbow, 10 to 1
agst Breba, 12 to 1 agst The Marquis, 12 to 1 agst
Officious. Goodwood Stakes-12 to 1 each agst Yam-
pyre and Borneo, 15 to 1 each agst Harpsichord, Runny-
mede, Clarissa, and Kick-up-the-dust, 20 to 1 agst Bri-
tish Boy, 25 to 1 agat Unity.

It was a most capital race throughout—one of the
best, indeed, of the whole regatta. They were oar and
oar for half the distance, when a lead of three or four
feet was observable on the part of the Cambridge, the
other two being; abreast. The heat of the race con-
tinued, the St. Catherine lapping the Brasenose and the
latter the Cambridge, who won by half a length.

The trial heats in this race had been rowed on Tues-

start and race half-way, where Mr. Edwards took the
lead, increased it, and won easily. The other two
made a capital race, Macnaughten eventually casting
Clarke off.

It was a capital race for the first quarter of a mile,
when the winners began to show in front. The other
put on a spurt, and tried most determinedly to change
the aspect of affairs, but without effect. Won by two
lengths. The two last, after a capital race, were about
the same.

GREAT RACE BETWEEN THE CLARPERS, OF NEW-
CASTLE-UPON-TYNE, AND THE CHAMPION ROBERT

COOMBE& CREW.
In consequence of the disappointment expressed,
owing to the Claspers being unable to contend in the
Champion prize against the Coombes' crew owing to
their breaking a thowl at the moment of starting, the
committee, in order to gratify the wishes of the company,
assisted by the gentlemen of the Universities, got up a
purse of 401, to be rowed for by them and Coombes' crew.
The match created the most lively interest, and a great
deal of money was laid out at even.
The Claspers 1

R. Coombes'
The race amply repaid the subscribers for their libe-
rality; a greater was never seen upon the Thames.
Claspers took their station at the Buckinghamshire
shore, and both being in readiness, Mr. Egan, the
umpire, gave the word for starting, and their oars
"clipped" the water at the same moment. Nothing
could be evener than the start, nor finer than the pace
and style, the latter of which in both boats was of the
most finished order. The Claspers kept close to
their shore, and, the Coombes' party made
their way down • the middle, and continued oar
and oar to the: _Poplars, where by a most gallant
effort the Claspers drew 'their boat's nose about half
a length in advance. In this position, still at the same
extraordinary pace, they continued pulling with all their
might to the finish, which left the nose of Cuombes' boat
level with No. lin the Claspers'. The greeting they
received proved the gratification the ext•rtions of the
rival crews had given. The distance was performed in
time ordinarily occupied by an eight-oared boat--8i
minutes.

It was a beautiful race all the way. Won by a length.
There were two races rowed, matches apart from the
regatta. The principal of these was between F. Lett
and F. Cook, the former of Lambeth, the latter of Ox-
ford, for 251. aside, and turned out a capital match.
Cook jumped away with a slight lead, which he in-
creased to two lengths, but his opponent rowed so gal-
lant a stern wager as to render the leading man at last
downright powerless. Lett tackled him at the Poplars,
and rowed so hard that Cook became exhausted, and
could go no further. The other match was between
Penn, of Oxford, and Emmoney, of Eton, and was won
by the former easily.
