ORANGE BLOSSOM.

On Richmond's delight—he's a grey, not a roan 'un—
I've staked my last groat—Heaven pardon my sing.
And my private belief is, that failing STRATHCONAN,
The Aylesbury jacket on SATERNAKE wins !

(From the Sportsman.)
BEACON.

I consider the race a " moral" for either Lord Lyon or
Saveruake, and for the reasons above stated I give the
preference to LORD LYON, whom' I expect to see accom-
plish the triple victory as cleverly as did Gladiateur last
year.
Vronarr. -
I must reluctantly confess that I now think Savornake
will be again defeated by LORD LYON.

(From the Sunday Times.).
VATICINATOR.

We cannot go against our early loves ; and shall venture
to anticipate Judge Clark's verdict thus :—Lonn LYON; 1;
Savernake, 2 ; Knight of the Crescent, 3.; leaving Strath-
conan and Westwick to hoad the succeeding lot.

(From the Sporting Lift.)
AUGUR.

The more I look at it the greater certainty does the race
resolve itself into for Lord Lyon, and, having public form
alone to guide me, I fully expect to see foremost places oc-
cupied by the same animals who rendered themselves
famous at Epsom ; in fact, the Derby result prophesies the
St. Leger iSSII6, and whoa the judge pronounces his verdict
it will be in favour of LORD LYON.

(From the Sporting Gazette.)

I shall bring my somewhat lengthy remarks to a close,
with another "plumper" for LORD LYON.
COCK ROBIN.

Now inch by inch, and foot by foot, steals up tho red and
black,
For Savernake is stopping swift and surely to the crack,
The chesnut faultors in his stride, and hangs towards the

bay,
And grimly Custance smiles, for ho can tell whoso is the

day.
A moment more—and closely locked tho champions seem
to lin
But death is in the fielders' hearts, and ours the victory;
For flashed along a hundred wires before the sun went

down,
Were the tidings that LORD LYON had achieved the triple
crown !

TROUBADOUR.

vim "rouge et noir," tho "red and tho black,"

As at Baden, so we sing, too ;
And if for a place the Knight you back,
You'll paddle the winning canoe.
. So, back LOUD LYON for all you're worth,
A race horse honest and true;
Never flinch, nor frown, keep pitting it down,
And "paddle your own canoe!"

(From the Field.)
Our faith is in Lord Lyon and Saveruake; and as wo
must stand or fall with one horse, Lour. Lvov, for the third
time in theso columns, shall be our champion, and next to
the Derby winner we apprehend Savernake and Knight of
the Crescent will bo found.

(From the Era.)
TOUCHSTONE.

Rustic has shown so much improvement at home during
the past few days that he will be quite a different horse
to what he was when he last ran, and, remembering how
he disposed of Mr. Sutton's colt at the Royal Meeting, when
the latter was thought to be a certainty, we she 11 take no
notice of the defeats of the Duke's representative at Epsom
and York, and place the loading three thus :—RUSTIC, 1;
Lord Lyon, 2 ; Knight of the Crescent, 3.

THE STABLE MOUSE.
Both the Duke of Beaufort and the Marquis of Hastings
have backed Lord Lyon for a large stake, and continuo to
lay odds upon him, while the latter peppers Rustle at ever'
convenient opportunity. At the price, however, I consider
him the best place investment, and with Fordham's artistic
assistance, coupled, perhaps, with a silent but deep reso-
lution to have his revenge, at least, upon Strathconan, I
shall be much disappointed if lie fails to obtain a situation,
albeit not the first:—Lora I,yolv, 1; Savernake, 2 ;
Rustic, 3.

(From the Weekly Times.)
FLY-BY-NIGHT.
I think, when the numbers are hoisted, the result will
be—Loup LYON, 1; Savernake, 2 ; Stratheonan, 3.
