A FRESH MAN.

:Prom Newmarket Correspondent of the Racing Times,

It is at all times a pleasure to a sporting writer to record
success of a race meeting, and Mr. Marshall, the. ludo-
'atigable Clerk of Huntingdon, has not loft a stone un-
turned to make this popular mooting one of the best in
England; what with a beautiful course, stand, and enclo-
sure, second to none, it bids fair to rival glorious Goodwpod.
There were some large fields and close contests for most
of the races. My old friend Cocreps c )uld not manage to
carry 9st 12Th home successfully in th 3 Cromwell Plato, as
it was evident When ho took hip preliminary. canter that
he did net like the hard ground; but my two that I placed
second and third, Bounceaway and Volunteer, finished
first and second, and old Volunteer landed me the second
day. Sealskin sadly disappointed everybody in the Hunt-
ingdon Handicap, and it is now evident he has lost
all form, and that all the fuss that was made about Van
Amburgh for the Derby was much ado about nothing, as
Sealskin got a good second to him at Ascot. To go through
the remainder of the racing at this meeting would only
weary your readers, and as I was not present at any other
meeting during the week, I shall at once pass on to Good-
wood. We have had 54 horses left hero this morning for
the Ducal Park, and I have no doubt they will take their
own part. Mat Dawson has sent 10 ; and I think Sultan is
the best of his lot for the Stewards' Cup. I havi heard a
good account of Rolomonte and a colt by Longbow, dam by
Double Cross, in Mr. Hodgman's stable, and with the above
lot, and the bestofJohn Day's, I must stand against the field.
There are a bad lot left in the Goodwood Stakes. I can't
fancy Gomera can win with 9st ; if she does, all those be-
hind her must be a wretched lot. Jezabel is now first
favourite, and from the running of Mrs. Allen and Honey-
moon lately, Wadlow must have a good line. Douro is the
worst horse in training, and could not win with any
weight, nor have 1 any fancy for Guy of Warwick. He
may be a good horse, but he does not gallop like one, and
I shall be very much surprised if he keeps his place in the
betting until the flag falls. I have seen Miss Harriette run
away from him in a rough gallop. Lucifer will run wall,
and from the way he ran at Stockbridge ho must nearly
win. I have no fancy for Clarice, and can see nothing
likely to beat Jezebel unless Lucifer should bowl her aver,
and to those two I shall leave to finish first and second.
The two-year-old races are dangerous to meddle with, as
I don't know what is likely to run for any of them. I see
one or two sporting writers have selected St. Ronan and
Pace as good investments, but neither of them will be at
Goodwood, therefore I should only load your readers astray
were I to select anything for those races. Lord Glasgow has
a nice filly by Young. Melbourne, dam by Voltigeur, in the
Ham Stakes, and his lordship is very likely to win this rich
stake. The Goodwood Cup has dwindled down to a small
compass, as from recent running I can let only two in it—e
Vauban and Regalia—and I fancy them in the order named.
The Chesterfield Cup is a difficult race to meddle with, as
previous running may upset all calculations ; but my pre-
sent fancy is for Miss Harriette, Opopcnax, and Foresight.
