There will be three meetings this week, viz., Stock-
bridge, Bibury Club, and Newcastle. The Spy is the hope
of the Mahon division for the Northumberland Plate, and
be is justly entitled to be first favourite, but I am afraid
of his temper, or ho would be my selected. The fol-
lowing will likely be the probable starters : Honest-
ish (Cameron), Three per Cent. (Snowden), King's
Cross (Osborne), the Spy (Morris), Miuster Bell
(Hudson), Mexico (Cradock), Itasaian Bear (Wy-
att), the Biud or Number Nip (SPEwen), Pom-
frett (Platt), Emerald (Niurdan), and Myosotis (Hunt).
Tabouret looks as nearly " dead" for the great event as
lira ken, The Drummer, St. hiungo, and Crocus, who are
all scratched, after seeing 6 to 1, or less, in the marker.
Three per Cent. has alSo gone to the bad since he touched
the same rate of odds, the report being that he has been
"beaten in his trial" by the boikmakers' horse in the
same stable, Mexico. Yet his backers' money may not be
quite lost. King's Cross and Pomfret, Osborne's two, both
go badly, and the Middleham men du not fancy either, or
Mexico or 3liuster Bell, so much as they do Myosutis,
who disappointed his owner twice at Chester, and is yet
trusted again with a power of money. The Iliud's stay-
ing I cannot believe in, and therefore I shall plump. for
Mexico or Number Nip, next to which I shall expect to
see the Spy. The Queen's Plate has 15 entries, but the
best amongst them, to my thinking, are Three per Cent.
and Brennus. The North Derby Handicap Thorwaldsen
or Vansittart will win ; the Members' Plate Python or
Donald Bain ; and the Fourth Stephenson biennial Sy-
rian or Eskdale. The Freeman's Nursery Handicap looks
well for Siege Train or Eskdale, and the Seaton Delaval
Stakes Hawkhead or Divulger ought to win.

The Eleventh Biennial, at Stockbridge, for 2-year -olds,
will possibly attract the attendance of the Saxon ;
and if all is true that has been said about him
the result of the raze is not a doubtful question, but there
is a little difficulty to be encountered by meeting High
Church in the contest. The Stockbridge Cup has a good
entry ; all, or nearly all, the great guns go for it; and
as Knight of the Garter only carries 51b extra for winning
the Cup last year, he no doubt will think nothing of the
penalty. Sunshine will carry off the Champagne Stakes,
provided she makes an appearance. The Beaufort Han-
dicap has fourteen left iu, the top weight being Paul Jobes,
4lyrs, Bst 121 b. Cock of the Walk, including his penalty,
carries Bst 91b, and Make Haste Bst. All things consi-
dered, I take the four year old with Bst up as about the
correct thing, and therefore award the race to Make Haste
or Hobart.. The Croome Produce Stakes will be carried
off by Pibroch, and the Coventry Stakes by Sunlight.
High Church will win tht Mottisfont Stakes, and Sun-
light or Sunshine the Troy Stakes ; Cock of the Walk the
Hurstbourne Cup, and Dunbar the Tenth Biennial.
