LADY ELIZABETH

is a more powerful filly than Formosa, tho daughter of
Trumpeter must have our vote, fond though we are of Mr
Graham's representative. There are 19 entries for the
Great Surrey Foal Stakes (1 mile), but Vale Royal and
Uncas will have the race between them, and as Mr Lincoln's
colt will have run in the Derby, Vale Royal is entitled to
the preference. Eighty horses have been nominated
for the Epsom Two Year Old Plato (6 furlongs), the
most noteworthy of which are Electricity, Sister to Her-
mit, Paimitine, Queen Esther, Hark-over, Lo Saphir,
Trorapette, Sofilaka, Director, the colt by Tint \Vbifllor,
out of Hermione, the filly by Oulston ()It of arucitixiou,
and Jove. Electricity is entitled to an allowance of Gib,
and as Badsworth is penalised 71b, Mr. Morgan's filly may
find her most dangerous opponent in the liermione colt.

SPORTING IN TELLIGENCE.

lIAEPENDEN MEETING-FRIDAY.

The gathering held on Harpenden Common was in point
of attendance quite successful, although the eletn2nts in
the latter portion of the day tended to ma- the enjoyment
of both holiday seekers and professional turlites, for rain
fell hem, ily during the afternoon. A long sh'ng of car-
riages lined both sides of the course for a considerable dis-
tance beyond the Grand Stand, occupied by a very in-
fluential company,
which, coupled with pedestrians,
brought the visitors up to nearly last year's numbers. The
card contained eight items for decision, and three of them
were remarkable for the further succeos of the Buccaneer
.stock, in Pirate Chief and Perfume, the former scoring a
double victory in the Handicap Plate and Wheathamstead
Handicap. The opening event, the Trial Stakes, was won
by Hatnmeiton, who upset a couple of better favourites
than himself; and Pirate Chief ran away VasPy from his
opponents in the Handicap Plate, pu'ling off the good thing
he has long b3en expected to do. Ho was almost the worst
favourite of the fifteen runners,_ to all of whom ho was
conceding weight, and consequently it was not surprising
that odds was laid on him for the subsequent event,
which he won. The penalised Perfume carried off the
Two-year-old Stakes, and backers landed a groat pot in
Black Boy in the Scurry Handicap. Lucifer, the tip
weight, won the Harpenden Handicap, after a good race
with last year's winner, Midwife, and the result confirms
the running of Lord St. Vincent's horse at Newmarket.
Claymore was successful in the Ilothamstead Stakes, and
in the last race, the Blenor Stakes, the speedy but v:ci-
ous Valentia was not backed by her owner for a Wi-
ling, who was afraid to trust her, and glad to get rid of
her after the race.

The Trial Stakes of 5 sous each, with 50 added. One mile.
