decided over the Rowley mile, has a brilliant entry of
fifty-eight, but much of the interest attaching to the
race has been destroyed through the scratching of
Lord Partsmouth's Robin Hood. The pick• of the
horses engaged are Mount Palatine, Mazeppa,
Monarch of the Glen, Westwick, Claros, Ischia,
The Primate, The Student, The Peer, King
Hal, Geojerat, Magician, Custaloga, Ammunition, La
Dauphine, Lochiel, Staghound, Dalesman, Tomahawk,
Warwick, and Gladiator. Neither The Student nor Tho
Poor is likely to run, but as Monarch of the Glen, Mount
Palatine, Westwick, Staghound, Dalesman, Gladiator, The
Primate, and Ischia will probably join issue, the contest
is sure to be exciting, and though Monarch of the Glen
and Mount Palatine are said to be vastly improved horses,
The Primate and Dalesman carry my confidence. In
the half mile Beacon Stakes nine two-year-olds have been
engaged, the entry including Mr. Chaplin's Derby colt
Hermit, Achievement, Photographe, and Hornet. If
Hermit is brought out he will win, but in his absence
Photograph° may just beat Achievement, who, how-
ever, is reported to be a splendid filly. On Wednesday the
Derby Trial Stakes and the Column Stakes are the only
closed races of note. In mile and half Derby Trial Stakes
King Charming, Proserpine, Gontran, Archimedes, Christ-
mas Carol, The Grinder, and other horses have been nomi-
nated against Gladiateur, but as the French horse is well
he will have no difficulty in winning. To the mile Column
Stakes there are 16 subscriptions, and as Young Monarque
is reported unfit, Crown Prince or Beelzebub should be the
winner of the stakes. On Thursday, the Seventh Biennial
Stakes, the Claret Stakes, and the Abingdon Stakes are the
principal items in the card ; 79 horses are entered for the
Seventh Biennial Stakes, the list including Pantaloon,
The Duke, King Charming, Ostregar, Tennyson, Anti-
Macassar, Chimney Sweep, Audax, Nukuheva, Friday,
Sydmonton, Kangaroo, Archimides, Al, and Jezebel. The
Duke, though the distance is further than ho likes, will
probably bo the favourite, but it is on the cards for him to
be defeated by SYDNOSTON or FRIDAY, both of whom can
