ANALYSIS OF THE TBIRTLENTII

CAMBRIDGESHIRE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—The last important week of the racing season
is fast approaching, and it behoves me to be at once in
the field with a; careful digest of the animals' charm: s
engaged in the last great Handicap of 1851. The Cam-
bridgeshire Stakes was brought into existence 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 lietman Platoff, at
that time in his third year, and carrying 74 121 b,
Mickleton Maid, 3 yrs, sst 121 b, being third; thus the
birth of the Stake may be considered to be a celebrated
ono, three of the finest animals of that day having in-
augurated it by obtaining the three first places. It is
not 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
ADLO _ .

Tho 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.
The Prime Minister by Melbourne, out of Pantalonade,
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 fume is a mile end under,
and at that he can come off triumphant. His memorable
race at York with the Maid cf Masham, at but a few
pounds difference, when he only succumbed by a head,
stamped him at once as about the stoutestand fastest horse
for a short distance that could be found. His chance, i❑
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 i❑ 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, end the identical nag who obtained the third
place for the Cesarewitch, will find the pace and
course altogether against him here ; he is by
tar two slow for a race of this description, but as
the weight is so much in his favour he may scramble
into a position somewhere near the front. Wadluw'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, Uriel, and Abbess
colt. IVewininster 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. The weight is the only thing that pre-
vents me from entertaining a first-rate opinion of his
chance, the feat never having been accomplished
by a three years old with Bst, although Faugh a Ballagh
all but nicked it; Evenus, a first-rate mile horse, re-
ceiving a year and 41b from the redoubtable Faugh, 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 Bst and win;
in this case, however, it was Bst 31b., and that was the
celebrated War Eagle, who, like unto the other two, ran
into the second position, being beaten somewhat
easily by Tho 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 hill and pace will shut him tsp.
Uriel, I fancy, is gradually falling into the " sere and
yellow leaf," being somewhat stiff on his pins, and with
Bst 71b is not like!), to do much. The 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
fall on Monday next. Royal Hart, by Veni-
son, out of Red Rose, once accomplished
a clever thing by winning the Rowley Mile Plate at
Newmarket last year, beating Wansdyke (second), Bor-
deaux (third), Garforth, and three others. lie has 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. Drinkalci'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 one, namely DARKIE, 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 fur 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, I3reba,
and Vermuth. The winner of the Derby, I should
say, will not run; it he does he cannot win.
Aphrodite, not withstanding her speed, cannot
carry Eist ,-tlb and win, so her light may be
considered put out. Vermuth 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 Leal on this occa-
sion, therefore all the interest of the F) field 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 ll it
go wi?
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 Derr, and Pantaloon filly. WooLwicli 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. 7'he Squire's Mountain
Dcer, 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 he
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.)

and, as the wind blew,; they frequently roseto a great
altitude, and threatened to be attended
with more serious
consequences. Prom the appearance of the fire, there seems
no chance ofgetting it entirely extinguished before midnight,
and, in the event of the wind changing, the general supposi-
tion is, that the flakes of fire will be drifted into those ricks
that, up to the present time, have escaped. Such a fearful
fire has not been witnessed in this part of the country for
many years.
