Optimist
With the exception of the French filly Mon Etoile, all
of the above have run this season in England, and most of
them displayed good form. Thormanby has proved him-
self a great horse, but the Welter weight he has got to
carry over such a severe course must tell on him at the
finish, but he might run into a place. If The Wizard is in
the same form he was in the spring when he defeated Ben
Webster and other good horses, he can scarcely lose. At
the Paris Spring Meeting last year Pretendant ran second
for the Prix du Printemps, won easily by Gustave, Mon
Etoile being third; and at Chantilly he again beat her in
the Prix des Harras, but at Baden Baden, in the following
September, she turned the tables on him for the Conti-
nental St. Leger, and again beat him for the Emperor's
Prize, at the Chantilly Autumn Meeting. So far it was
"heads and tails" between them, but before the close of
the year he asserted the superiority he displayed in their
two first encounters, by beating her at Paris very easily in
the Prix Special, a heat race of a mile and a quarter,
which ran to three heats, the last two of which he won.
Diophantus again finds favour in the betting, but will
scarcely like the distance. Optimist has run well this year,
and with his atone allowance will make the Wizard gallop.
Royallieu, from his performance in the Derby, ought to have
a great chance. Doefoot will find the company too good.
The race, in my opinion, lies between

OPTIMIST and THE WIZARD;
and I anticipate them being placed first and second. The
Wizard will win the Four.Year-Old Bentinck Memo-
rial; Copernicus the Racing Stakes; Fairwater the
50 Sovs Sweepstakes; Big Ben or Folkston° the Three-
Year-Old Memor al ; and Ace of Clubs the Molcomb. The
Nursery Stakes I shall not offer an opinion upon.

A FRESH MAN.

TATTERSALLS'-SATURDAY.

The room was opened this afternoon for the purpose of
"comparing" on the forthcoming Goodwood meeting, but
the attendance was anything but numerous. After the
preliminary business had been got through speculation was
entered into with much spirit upon the principal items in
the programme.
The STEWARDS' Cur, as usual, was the first touched upon,
for which Cantab, from some heavy iv vestments made in
the City in the morning, appeared to bo in most demand,
although at one period Baron Rothschild's Restes was in
equal force, and, as will be seen from our quotations, left
off nearly as good a favourite. Vergiss-Mein Nicht was
also inquired after, and 100 to 6 repeatedly noted down; 20
to 1 was booked about Crater; and 25 to 1 each was taken
to some money about Snapshot, Umpire, and the Drone ;
Sweetsauce, however, did not appear so palatable, as he re-
trograded in favour, and at the finish 100 to 3 was cur-
rently offered, without meeting with a reply. 150 even was
laid on the field against 15.

THE GooDwooD STAKES.—Starke was in great demand,
his opening price being readily booked, and ho was un-
questionably made a better favourite for money than Lord
Coventry's colt, hisclosing price, 100 to 30, being with diffi-
culty obtained, Elcho, notwithstanding this movement, re-
tained his position; half a point over the quoted odds
would have found a host of supporters. Not so his quondam
stable companion Schism, who appeared in anything but a
healthy state. At one time as much as 10 to 1 was freely
offered against him, but just prior to the closing of the room
a reaction set in in his favour, and he found supporters a
100 to 12 for a nominal amount. The Brownie was occa-
sionally touched upon at 12 to 1; similar odds being offered
about Balham, but without finding backers, Shipwreck,
as was anticipated from operations elsewhere, appeared en-
tirely gone, any odds in reason being obainable, and at the
close 40 to 1 went begging. Thormanby was backed for a
" pony" at 50 to 1, more as a fancy bet, we opine, than in
the way of business. _ _

THE CiOODWQOI) CUr.—The Wizard came with a rush,

and wis backed for all the money that could be got on, and
speedily became the premier at 7 to 2 taken, but at the
finish we question if those odds were to be had. This
movement had a depressing effect upon Optiniist and Mon
Etoile, who receded to 6to 1 each, at which odds the pair
were backed for.money, more particularly the former, who
appear to haye a strong party. Thormanby was sup
ported in got-xi quarters at 6to 1, and Diophantua at 100 to
8. Parmesan was also introduced, and repeatedly backed
by his owner at 25 and 20 Ito some money. 100 to 5 was
taken that the Wizard wins this event,• and Starke the
Stakes ; and 100 to 80 was laid several times on Optimist,
the Wizard, and Thormanby.

WILLS AND BEQUPSTS.

(From the illustrated London News.)

The will of Vice-Admiral the Hon. Sir Richard
Saunders Dundas, K.C.8., Hon. LL.D. of Oxford,
was proved in the principal registry in London on
the 16th inst. by the testator's brother, Lieut.-Gen.
the Right Hon. Henry Dundas, Viscount Melville,
K.C.B. ; Vice-Admiral Henry Dundas, and Mr.
William Pitt Dundas. advocate, the executors. The
personalty in the United Kingdom was sworn
under £16,000. The will of this gallant admiral,
which was drawn up in the Scottish form, and bears
date so long back as the year 1842, required special
affidavit before probate could be granted in the
testamentary court in England. This form has
been adopted in the will which we now have to
record of Admiral Dundas in the conveyance of his
property. We give the terms used—" Failing any
disposition to nearest heirs whomsoever who would
be entitled to the same according to the law of Scot-
land." In this case no other disposition has been
made, and no other document found, and the will,
dated 1842, has therefore to be acted upon. Ad-
miral Dundas was what is termed " domiciled in
England," and died on June 3 last, at his residence,
New-street, Spring-gardens, at the age of 59, and
was never married.
The will and codicil of General Peter De la
Motte, C. 8., of the Bombay army, were proved in
the London court on the 17th inst., the executors
nominated being his relict, together with Mr; Au-
gustus Le Messurier and Colonel Thomas Faunce,
the testator's son-in-law. The personalty was
sworn under £B,OOO. The will of this gallant
general is strictly of a family nature, the bequests
being confined entirely to his relict and to their
children. The will bears date 1858, under which
the widow takes a life-interest in all the property,
and on her decease a sum of money is to be invested
sufficient to secure an annuity of £2OO to an invalid
unmarried daughter, and the remainder is directed
to be equally divided between the testator's two
married daughters. The general, since making the
above will, having purchased an estate, added a
codicil to his will at the commencement of the pre-
sent year, by which he devises this freehold estate
to his daughter, the wife of Colonel Faunce, for her
life, which on her decease is to descend to the eldest
son of this lady, and to his issue. The will con-
tains no other bequests. The general died at his
residence, Craven-hill gardens, Bayswater, on the
sth of February last.
The will of Rear-Admiral the Hon. John Frede-
rick Fitzgerald De Ros, the brother of the testator,
and the Rev. F. H. Pare, M.A. The personalty
was sworn under £12,000. The gallant admiral
bequeaths the property of which he died possessed
amongst his relatives and personal friends. To his
brother, Baron De Ros, who has taken upon' him-
self the trusts of the will, he bequeaths £lOO, to-
gether with other specific bequests ; the like sum of
£lOO is also bestowed on the Rev. Mr. Pare, the
other executor. To each of his sisters a legacy of
£5OO, with other specific bequests, leaving the re-
sidue of his personal property to his sister, the
Hon. Mrs. Pare, for her life, and upon her decease
to that lady's daughter. There are some handsome
pecuniary legacies lett to the admiral's personal
friends, and also sums to purchase tokens of remem-
brance of the testator. The admiral has bestowed
a legacy on that excellent institution, the Marine
Society, of £lOO, and he directs that all legacies
are to be paid to the recipients free of legacy duty.
The will, which is in the admiral's own hand-writ-
ing, is very brief, and bears date in 1849, and Ad-
miral De Ros died a bachelor at the age of fifty-
seven.
