Conrad ran away in front, his immediate followers
being Harry Lorrequer and Xanthus, the others running
in pretty close order, but shifting and changiag places
continually as they made for Valentine's Brook. The first
mishap occurred to Abd-el.Kader, who fell soon after
starting, and Claudius and Glenamour shortly after-
wards refused, and were out of the race. The field was
still further diminished by the falling of Escape, Joe
Graham, and Moire Antique. Little Tom got his foot
into a grip, and came down, although young Land was
soon up and at work again. As they progressed along
the Canal side, Harry Lorrequer alio wcd in advaalos,
but was soon repassed by Conrad, who went on with a
strong lead to the artificial brook, and was followed pleat
(
the Stand by Little Charley, Xanthus, Harry Lorrequer,
Weathercock, Lough Barrn,Treachery, Morgan Rattler,
and Black Bess, nearly in the order named. Little Tons
again came to grief at the above brook, near the Stand,
and was soon afterwards pulled up. Conrad led the
way over Beecher's Brook the second tine, and
Treachery, who was lying pretty well up, cut her heel
badly soon after landing. At the Canal turn liarry
Lorrequer was numbered with the fallen, and Lougk
Bawn about the same time dropped away beaten. A.t
the last fence but one before crossing the lane Conrad
gave way, and Little Charley and Weathercock weat
ahead and raced together to the distance, where the
weight told upon Weathercock, and he compounded..
Little Charley then came away and won is a canter ley

TO THE EDITOR or THE lUN.
jouSrlnßa,
tom thee l;ressoenaitcva6cal ntehye
in the Court of Aldermen, may probably entitle me to
the following explanation :
On Thursday evening I was informed that a requisition
was in existence, and signatures, and promises of signa-
tures, had been obtained by my friends from a majority
of the electors of the ward, with the view to invite LAY
acceptance of the Aldermanic gown.
,fMy immediate answer was to this effect: I had
i
heard that the labours of the Alderman As
, electedthereo I
are, according to custom, very numerous,
th• time
fore
feared I might be led to occupy portionsome my
duty in Par.
which at present is wholly devoted to
liameat.
Consequently, I begged my friends would, if &grai-
able to themselves, transfer their contemplated kindness
personally acquaintesi who had
to the present sheriff,
till the office, and whop is in every
me with his desire to _
am .
.; c
worthy of their choice.-1 i &

14, Park-lane, March G. DONALD NICOLL;

"THE SOUL OF WIT."
Frost-bound as I am, I have merely an opportunit
of sending some rough notes on the first day's racing ai
Doncaster. On Tuesday, however, I shall be enabl Ito
give my notions on things past, present, and to com , in
ull. Jack Frost will sorely disappoint those persons •
calculated on a great meeting at Doncaster, for he must
have confined many of the youngsters that were a few
weeks ago in active preparation for the Hopeful Stakes
to their straw beds. Still a large number of two•year.
olds are likely to go to the post for that event, and Mr.
Parr may be more successful with Stockharn this year
than he was with Peregrine last.

Toe certainty of a start only would be sufficient to
;ndnce me to trust the two light weighte—Wourerman'e
tnd tlanarooner for the Haniicap. Artillery and Cul-
cavy are the only ❑ames that attract my notice for the
Chesterfield Plate.

On "Monday night I shall bs located at Doncaster
whence I will send the sporting gossip of the past week
for publication in T J.l4n of Tuesday.
