Ipswich, wi
worst which
welcher being stopped when in the act of decamping,
sought refuge in the Stewards' Stand, where, how-
ever, he met with severer treatment than in the
open, for the occupants mobbed the fugitive with
unsparing violence, and were with difficulty re-
strained from committing fatal injuries upon him.
A cry was immediately raised that the man was
being murdered, and accordingly another mob,
partly composed of the welcher's friends, rushed to
the rescue, and a battle ensued between the two
parties, which the 10-cal police, with their proverbial
stupidity and cowardice, never attempted to check.
Several persons were seriously injured, and two
had their visions affected in a manner they will not
easily forget, whilst others—many •of them most
unoffending and disinterested—received severe body
blows. The row lasted some time, but_ at length
the welcher made his escape, menus his coat and
portions of. his skin, and had it not been for the
active exertions of several gentlemen present the
mob would have prolonged the scene by changing
the object of attack from the welcher to the welched,
and inflicting upon the victims the same kind of
chastisement which before they had administered to
the defaulter.

There are three meetings set for decision this
week—viz., the Newmarket July, the Carlisle, and
the Worcester. The principal race to-morrow
at Newmarket is the July Stakes, for which 37
horses are entered, amongst whom are several dark
ones, and from the fact that no fewer than 31 of
them are engaged in the Derby, its result must
exercise a corresponding influence ou the great

event of next year. Of the Derby horses Walloon,
Dictator, Folkstone, Shilellagh, Kildon an, 0 verton,
Lupus, Monastery, Gabardine, The Sage, and
.Lisbon,have been in public, several of them on two
or three occasions, and, in addition, Caliban has
also been out ; so of the 31 candidates for the " blue
riband" we are as yet in the dark respecting the
merits of nineteen. The most deeply engaged of
these are Solferino, a son of De Clare ; Vaga, by
Stockwell out of Mendicant; Cistercian, by New-
minster ; Wild Will, by Wild Dayrell ; Janus, by
King Tom; and Reveille, by Voltigeur, the name
of the latter being enrolled in no fewer than
twenty-eight races. Dictator, Walloon, and
Lupus are the best public performers, but I
have heard such good accounts of Mr. Crawfurd's
Wild Will and Sir Joseph Hawley's Vaga, that I
shall expect to see one of them the winner.
On Wednesday the Stamford Plate of 200 sous
may bring out the Leger favourite Stampedo, who
has an allowance of 91b, and if he has the least
pretensions for the Leger he ought to win this race
in a canter, but I expect to see him upset by Baron
Rothschild's Queen of the Vale, even with her 71b
penalty; the next best being Brown Duchess, and
to these three I leave the race.

In the Chesterfield Stakes the best performers
are Cynic and Diophantes. A rumour, however,
prevails that the former has since his double triumph
at Stockbridge shown some symptoms of stiffness
of the affected joint, so that his running must be set
down as doubtful. Of the " dark" horses at New-
market, Imaus, the highest priced yearling at the
Royal sale last year, the Duke of Bedford's Cowley,
and Baron Rothschild's colt by King Tom out of
Lady Lotty are fancied, but as the latter is back-
ward, he will hardly take any prominent part in
the race, and unless the dark division bring out a
flyer Diophantes may place this stake to Lord
Stamford's account.

The Cumberland meeting commences to-morrow
at Carlisle. For the Cumberland Plate Wildman
has only to enter an appearance to place this stake
to his owner's account. The Corby Castle Stakes
looks a certainty for Avalanche, but it is doubtful
whether she will run.

If 1)oefoot only puts in an appearance for the
Cumberland Volunteer Stakes I shall look no further
for a winner, the next best being Caller-oui.
The Grand Stand Plate, one mile and quarter,
appears reduced to a match between the two rival
stables at Middleham, T. Dawson's and J. Osborne's,
although Starbeck ran well for a mile and a half
in the North Derby, my fancy points to Montrose
as " best in."

The Lottery Handicap is another gift to John
Osborne, with either Wildman or Red Eagle.
The bill of fare at Worcester is decidedly superior
to that put forth for Carlisle, seven events having
to begot through on Thursday and eight on Friday.
The Worcester Stakes has amongst those engaged
Crater, 3 yrs, 7st 41b ; Wildman, 3 yrs, 7st lib ;
Rattlebone, 3 yrs, 7st 81b ; and Master Bagot, 6
yrs, 9st. In the absence of Rattlebone, who may
be reserved for the Goodwood Stakes, I have the
greatest faith in Crater, after his extraordinary
Stockbridge performance, and if defeated, it will
be by Wildman, who has 31b the best of the weights.
The Croom Stakes I award to Man-at-Arms, if he
be not kept for his Newmarket engagement on the
same day. The Flying Handicap should go to New
Brighton or Orcus ; the Coventry Stakes to Folke-
stone or Parasite, the Annual Produce Stakes to
King of Kent, the Worcester Cup to Crater, and
the Trial Handicap to Waterford or Rameses.
