THE DERBY.

The movements up to the hour I write are unimpoi taut.
John Scott's horses are very firm, and the Wizard, if he
can stay, is worthy of the support which he has received.
Some people, however, possess a strange fancy for TOM
Bowline, and believe that his Two Thousand performance
was quite wrong, and that if the pace had been stronger
he would have been first instead of last. Thormanby and
Nutbourne go as well in the market as they do
on the exercise ground. As to-morrow I shall enter into
an elaborate statement of each horse's pretensions, and as I
shall then be able to describe the latest movements in
London and at Epsom, I shall not now refer further to the
race. My latest " tip" shall be sent by telegram direct from
the course. My present conviction is that John Scott will
win both the Derby and Oaks, as he did with Daniel
O'Rourke and Songstress. Which his best will be lam
unable to discover. He doubtless believes in The Wizard,
but I have a great fancy for Tom Bowline. At any rate,
I am prepared to see John Scott Was both Derby and Oakt.
I must oppose -Umpire unconditionally, but I have a,great
partiality for Thormanby and. Nutbourne. The only out-
sider to my liking is Confectioner. The racing to-morrow
will not be very interesting. North Lincoln will win the
Brighton Stakes; and, despite Rupert's wretched exhibi-
tion through the dirt at Harpenden, I shall expect to see
him the most dangerous opponent to Walloon for the
Woodcote. A FRESH MAN.

A WORD AB JUT THE BLUE RIBAND OF 1860.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Siu,—l have perused the verdict of all the talents, as
well as all the vagaries of the untalented or haphazard
prophets in the self-called sporting papers. The latter I
dismiss without comment, although the former, in case of
failure, are apt to ride the winner out of the latter's stable
when they do not find it in their own. The talents on this
occasion are wonderfully unanimous in solving- the riddle
of Wednesday next. The summing up amounts to this :
Umpire and High Treason stand No. 1 and 2 of last year.
The Wizard is No. lof this year. Umpire, however, like
Buccaneer, has once been non eat when wanted? without
having given any previous excuse for his absence up to the
very time of muster being called. High Treason and The
Wizard must fight it out—take your choice, as you pay the
money. I take The Wizard to be the Guy Fawkes of High
Treason in the melee on Wednesday next, and the concluding
tableau of the Derby Extravaganza of 1860. I see now
paraded on Dorling's telegraph as under in intelligible
hieroglyphics
