ANALYSIS OF THE THIRTEENTH

CADIBRIDGESIIIRE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Srrt,—The last important week of the racing season
is fast approaching, and it behoves me to be at once in
the field with careful digest of the animals' chances
crigriged in the last great Handicap of 1851. The Cam-
bridgeshire Stakes was brought into existeace in 1839.
under the patronage of the Jockey Club, when the
small field of twelve only started, and the celebrated
Lanercost, then four years of age, carrying Bst 91b, won
cleverly from the equally celebrated Hetman Platcff, at
that time in his third year, and carrying 7st 1 21h,
Mickleton Maid, 3 yrs, sat 121 b, being third; thus the
birth of the Stake may be considered to be a celebrated
one, three of the finest animals of that day having in-
augurated it by obtaining the three first places. It is
nut very probable that there is a Lanercost in the
field this year, much less a Hetman Platoff; in fact,
with one or two exceptions, the field for the Cambridge-
shire, like that for the Cesarewitch, will be composed of
mediocre materials. It is my intention to divide my
analysis into the various lots, and then into the compo-
nent parts of those lots. I shall commence with
WADLO W'S. _ _

The Stanton stable this year is in great force for this
race, having an entry numbering five, four of whom
have figured at different times strongly in the betting.
7he Prime Minister by Melbourne, out of Pantelonaele,
by Pantaloon, is the great gun of the stable, at least -I
think so, and one of the fastest, if not the speediest, horses
of his year. His running has proved that he cannot
stay a distance with any chance of success
against first-class animals ; he, however, has
shown pretty clearly that his fuse is a mile and under,
and at that he can come off triumphant. His memorable
race at York with the Maid of Masham, at but a few
pounds difference, when he only succumbed by a head,
stamped him at once as about the stoutest and fastest horse
for a short distance that could be found. His chance, in
my opinion, is very superior, and if not the absolute A 1,
will be just about the mark. Deceitful, by Pantaloon,
out of Pione, has so often verified his name, that but
little trust can be placed in him; he, however, is well in,
will in all probability be sent, and nothing is more un-
likely than his finishing in front. Candlewick, by the
Prime Warden, out of Burghley, a four years old, with
sst up, and the identical nag who obtained the third
place for the Cesarewitch, will find the pace and
course altogether against him here ; he is by
far two slow for a race of this description, but as
the weight is so much in his favour he may rcramble
into a position somewhere near the front. Wadlow's
other two, Ribaldry, and the Flying Gout, I can hardly
fancy will be sent to Newmarket.
JOHN SCOTT
has a trio, consisting of Newminster, Uric], and Abbess
colt. Newminster will of course be the representative
of the stable, and great hopes are entertained by John
Scott's aristocratic patrons that they may sweep the
stakes and bets into the north for the second time during
the last six years., Tho weight is the only thing that pre-
vents me fromentertaining a first-rate opinion of his
chance, the feat never having been accomplished
by a three years old with Bat, although Faugh a Ballagh
all but nicked it; Evenue, a first-rate mile horse, re-
ceiving a year and 41b from the redoubtable Faugb, just
winning cleverly by a short length.
Sting, also a three years old, with same weight, tried
to do it, but, like unto his predecessor, Faugh a Ballagh,
could get no nearer than second, being beaten by the
Prior of St. Margaret's. There is also another instance
in which a three years old essayed to carry Bet and win;
in this case, however, it was Bst 31b., and that was the
celebrated War Eagle, who, like untu the other two, ran
into the second position, being beaten somewhat
easily by The Widow. These antecedents prove
that Newminster's chance is by no means of
a first-class character; like all the rest he
will run into the front, but when called upon
at the finish the bill and pace will shut him up.
Uriel, I fancy, is gradually falling into the " sere and
yellow leaf," being somewhat stiff on his pins, arid with
Bst 71b is not likely to do much. 71w Abbess Colt, not-
withstanding he is a four years old, and sporting the
feathery weight of sst 81b, without Colonel Anson is
particularly ambitious of throwing away his money, will
be left at home, for he is not worth a thought.
HARLOCK'S LOT.
consists of Royal Hart, Clelia, Cane, and Reindeer; all
the interest centering in the former two, Cane
being already scratched and Reindeer likely to be
in the same category ere the shades of night
101 l on Monday next. Royal Hart, by Veni-
son, out of Red Rose, once accomplished
a clever thing by winning the Rowley Mile Plato at
Newmarket last year, beating Wansdyke (second), Bor-
deaux (third), Garforth, and three others. Lle hugs only
run once since then, is in good form, moderately
weighted, and may prove a Royal Hart in earnest on the
day. Clelia, by the Provost, out of the flying Celia, it
is reported, is not equal to Royal Hart; how far the
report may be credited I know not, but this I believe,
that she will go to the post on Tuesday next, and will no
doubt run uncommonly well.
FORD'S LOT
consists of Mr. Drinkald's Sauter-la-Coupe and Dulcet,
and I believe the sweet music on this interesting occa-
sion is expected to be played with effect. Dulcet strains
are to flow harmoniously according to Mr. Drinkald's
account, as he thinks that at the weight his horse has a
first-rate chance.

ROGERS'S LOT,
Darkie, Westow, and King Charming, will, it is under-
stood, be cut down into ono.' namely DAnitrE, who is by
Sir Hercules. out of Dark Susan. Mr. Crawford argues,
from Darkie's running in the Cesarwitch, that the dis-
tance for the Cambridgeshire will be much more at
home for him, and from his known turn of speed he may
be nobbing it among the first rank at the finish.
A. TAYLOR'S LOT.
is very different to the Cesarewitch one, which consisted
of none, for the Cambridgeshire numbers six, namely,
Cranberry, Teddington, Aphrodite, Merry Peal, Breba,
and Vermath. The winner of the Derby, I should
say, will not run; if he does ho cannot win.
Aphrodite, notwithstanding her speed, cannot
carry Bst 41b and win, so her light may be
considered put out. Yermuth is much too slow, and
Cranberry, who may be sent to assist the crack, will be
just able to accomplish his mission, and nothing more.
From what the backers of the stable assert, the daughter
of Vibration will not ring a Merry Peal on this occa-
sion, therefore all the interest of the Fyffeld stable cen-
tres in the first favourite for the Oaks, the mysterious
daughter of Touchstone and Lady Mary, yclept Breba.
The money that has been put upon this mare, both by
the stable and the public, is immense—where will it go?
I am inclined to think that in the final struggle she will
show a little of her currish temper, and, though possibly
obtaining a place, will not turn out the winner.
E. PARR'S.
batch is composed of four ; Woolwich, Black Doctor,
Mountain Deer, and Pantaloon filly. WOOLWICH is
dosed with too much weight, Back Doctor cannot live
the pace with Mountain Deer, and the Pantaloon filly is
far too slow for this spurt. The Squire's Mountain
Deer, by Touchstone out of Mountain Sylph, after
running very in and out through the whole of the
season, proved, in his match with Teddington, that ho
was within two or three pounds of beating him. His
chance is by no means a bad one, and there cannot be
any reasonable doubt that, if well up to the mark on
Tuesday, ho might be one of the first five.
(To be concluded to-morrow.)
I am, Sir, yours, &c.,
