• " 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 &prolonged flourish. As in
the years when Vie Sun alone predicted Haco to win
the Cesarewitch, Little David the Cambridgeshire, and
Whitelock the Northumberland Plate, *xi' in:1857- it is,
the
,only journal that picked Imperieuse for the St..
Leger
A satisfactory Settling has been 'announced. Thei
winners ha‘ite collected their gains, an'] the list of:
casualties is'uninaportant. From" the City ciicle only one,
iran 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 'execnte it.
I cannot 'withhold my tribute of adhairation from the'
manner in which Imperiense was sent to .the post. John
ScOtt bad eshauSted 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 910771 de course was
" Mr. Newland." Flatman, too, rode Imperieuse with
consummate jtidgment. He took a,_place at starting
which he retained to the end, never quitting it, but
going on steadily, whilst his opponentt'dropped one by
one behind Lint If any 'Prod 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 Imperiense at DoLcaster.
Before these remarks meet the eye of the reader, the
Pontefract gathering will be concluded, and half the
races 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' iMPeitati 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 inclosed. Amelia
may win the Welter race, 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 is
likely to he so signal a failure that the scheme will 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 Balaklara Stakes.
Hamlet may win the 20 sovs. Handicap, and Hunting-
ton the Handicap of 10 sovs. each, one mile. If the
Prince of Danmark should be sent t 3 Warwick instead
of to Leicester, he will win the Nursery Handicap. Cock
of the North ought to carry off the Handicap of 5 sovs.
each; five furlongs. On paper the chance of-Poodle
and Redemption seem ad attractive as any for the Wind-
ham Handicap. Monmouth I must pass 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 101. balance in
his favour. Not a missing man was reported amongst
the members of the Ring, and only one absentee
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 Cesarewitch swds 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.
