" IMPERIEUSE."

There are occasions on which a man may blow his
own trumpet as lustily as he pleases, and I think so
extraordinary a verification of my prediction as that re
corded above, entitles me to a prolonged fLiarish. As in
the years when Ihe Sun alone predicted Ilaco to win
the Cesarewitch, Little David the Cambridgeshire, and
Whitelock the Northumberland Plate, ED in 1857 it is
the only journal that picked Iwpriense for the St.
Leger !
A aatiZaotory settling has been announced. The
winners have collected their gains, and the list of
casualties is unimportant. From the City circle only one
man will be missed, and from the Corner no important
absentee has been reported. The gentlemen of " the
House " had a rare time of it, and were enabled to
retrieve some of those loses on the turf which they
sustained on 'Change. 'Mr. Perry had the Imperieuse
commission, and well did he execute it.
I cannot withhold my tribute of admiration from the
manner in which Imperious* was soot to the post. John
Scott had exhausted the secrets of his art upon her, and
well was he rewarded for the skill and labour which he
had bestowed on her preparation. Imperieuse is his
own property, having been taken as a " set off"
against the debt of a nobleman, whose nom de course was
" Mr. Newland." Flatmar, too, rode Imperious° with
consummate judgment. Re took a place at starting
wh

ich he retained to the end, never quitting it, but
going on steadily, whilst his opponents dropped one by
one behind him. If any proof of his being the most pa-
tient and careful jockey of the day were wanting, he
furnished a conclusive one by the manner in which he
rode Warlock and Imperieuse at Doncaster.
Before these remarks meet the eyo of the uader, the
Pontefract gathering will be concluded, and half the
rac:s at Leicester run off. I shall offer no apology for
not referring to them earlier, because they really excited
very little attention, and were, in fact, totally disre-
garded by turfites until the important business con-
nected with the St. Leger settling was brought to a ter-
mination.

The programme of to-morrow's sport at Leicester
contains six items, of which three are inclosad. Amelia
may win the Welter raca, and the Scurry seems likely
to be placed to the credit of one of Mr. T. Cliff's nomi-
nations. .Prince of Denmark ought to carry off the

Nursery.
The attempt to get up military races at Warwick ie
likely to be so signal a failure that the scheme s ill be aban-
doned for the future. Indeed, racing men do not care
to be always running to and from Warwick ; they go
there quite often enough as it is. Should Amelia not
go to Leicester, she may win the Balaklava Stakes.
Hamlet may win the 20 says. Handicap, and Hunting-
ton the Handicap of 10 sovs. each, one mile. If the
Prince of Denmark should be sent to War Nick instead
of to Leicester, he will win the Nursery Handicap. Cock
of the North ought to carry off the Handicap of 5 Rom
each, five furlongs. On paper the chance of Poodle
and Redemption seem as attractive as any for the Wind-
ham Handicap. Monmouth I must pate over in silence,
and my remarks on Manchester shall be reserved for
Thursday. A FRESH MAN.

TATTERSALL'S—MONDAY.
If any doubts were entertained respecting the
St. Leger settling, they were satisfactorily dispelled
by the readiness with which all liabilities were met
this afternoon. One of the largest winners on the
race closed his account with only a 10/. balance in
his favour. Not a missing man was reported amongst
the members of the Ring, and only one ftbien' ee
from the "outer set" was announced. As we have
already stated, the bulk of the money is distributed
amongst the gentlemen of the Stock Exchange.
The betting on the Ceiarewitch was not remark-
ably brisk. The principal movements were those
which caused the decline of Victoria and the ad-
vance of the Plush colt, December, and Sacharissa.
A disposition was also evinced to back M. Dobler,
Black Tommy, and Warlock. The other horses
quoted were merely nibbled at.
