LADY RAGLAN.

There is an excellent entry of thirty-nine for the Clear-
well Stakes (5 furlongs 140 yards), and the most notable
names in the list are Duke of Beaufort, Thor, Chaucer,
Martinique, Lady Cecilia, Pero Gem •z, Boulogne, Elac-
ricity, Prince Imperial, Archduke, and Border Knight.
Either of the "dark" horses—Prince Imperial, Pero
Gomez, or Chaucer—is good enough to beat all the public
form; but, as they are engaged in the rich Middle Park
Plato, neither of them may run for the Clem-well. Should
Prince Imperial, however, bo brought out, he must have
my vote, and only in his absence k h auld I look for the
success of Martinique, who is a very smart filly.
Five races have closed for Wednesday, and the principal
feature in that day's card is the Middle Park Plate (6 fur-
longs), which has attracted 180 entries. Amongst the
horses engaged are many " dark" celebrities, and the pub-
lic performers are also strongly represented. The must
notable names in the list are Tasman, Ryshworth, Bads-
worth, Strathuairn, Scottish Queen, Typhon, Thor, Tho
Orphan, Chauoinesse, Fairminster, Consternation, Blair
Drummond, Chaucer, Chatelhoro.ult, Woodman, Pero
Gomez, Merlin, Flower Girl, Lady Dawhurst, Belladrum,
Pretender, Brigantine, Boulogne, Martyrdom, Elec-
tricity, Chatsworth, Prince Imperial, Abstinence, Tone-
dos, and Border Knight. Balladrum, notwithstanding
his 71b penalty, will probably be elected the
favourite ; but to the non-public performers—the best of
whom are Tasman, Prince Imperial, Chaucer, Scottish
Queen, Pero Gomez, and Fairminster—shall I look for
the winner; and, if rumour speaks truly, the successful
candidate will turn up in Pero Gomez, Prince Imperial, or
Tasman. The Bedford Stakes (6 furlongs) should be won
b 3 Typhon, though Masaniello, if in his spring form, will
be bad to dispose of. In the Select Stakes (Rowley Mile)
Speculum ought to beat Vale Royal and Typhoeus, who
are the best horses entered against the Duke of Newcastle's
colt. The Windsor Stakes (5 furlongs 140 yards) will be
credited to Electricity or Masaniello ; and the Sweepstakes
of 50 sovs each (Criterion Course) to Athelstane. The
completed events for Thursday are the Newmarket Oaks,
the Bretby stakes, a Biennial Post Match, and a brace of
Sweepstakes. In the Newmarket Oaks (2 middle miles)
69 fillies have been engaged, and the best of those aro
Athena, Pearlfeather, Frolicsome, Leonie, Formosa, Green
Sleeve, Naivete, St. Angela, Nyanza, Mysotis, Lady Rag-
lan, Veda, Betty, Casse Tete, and Happy Thought. For-
mosa is penalised 71b, but to her and Athena the
race will be confined, and the last named filly has im-
proved so much since the pair met in the One Thousand
Guineas that it is just on the cards for her to beat the St.
Leger winner. For the Bretby Stakes (six furlongs) 15
fillies have been nominated, the pick of whom are Crocus,
Martinique, Fairminster, Basilia, Toison d'Or, and the
Maid of Masham filly. The latter will probably be elected
the favourite, but our representative must be Martinique.
The Sweepstakes of 500 sovs each (Rowley mile) will be
secured by Athena; the Sweepstakes of 300 sovs each (6
furlongs) by Abstinence; and the Biennial Post Match
(across the Flat) by Herald. The only closed races for
Friday aro the Newmarket Darby and the Prendergast
Stakes. For the Newmarket Derby (11 miles) 73 colts
and fillies have been named, amongst which are Typhoeus,
Kettleholder, Herald, St. Ronan, Courtmantle, See Saw,
Rosicrucian, Bel Giorno, Banditto, Nelusko, Phoebus,
Harvester, King Alfred, Suffolk, Cap-a-Pie, Vale
Royal, Warrington, and Socrates. From these
horses a goodly field ought to be selected, but I
give the preference to Suffolk and See-Saw. There is a
capital entry for the Prendergast Stakes (5 furlongs 140
yards), and in the list are Chaucer, Duke of Beaufort,
Tasman, The Orphan, Basilia, Flower Girl, Pero Gomez,
Morna, Siderolito, Chatsworth, Tenedos, Strathuairn,
Border Knight, and the colt by Tim Whiffler out of Iler-
mione. Several of those horses will have run in the
Middle Park Plate prior to this race being decided ; but
at ',resent my choice is Pero Gomez and Tasman, both o'
whom are high-class colts.

A FRESH MAN.

LADVERTISEILENT. I—Holloway's Pills.—No Distrust.—
Public opinion speaks in no feeble, no uncertain vuice con-
cerning the merits of these pills for purifying the blood,
regulating the action of different organs, and strengthen•
ing the human body generally. Holloway's pills have
ga;ned a reputation for curing disorders of the stomach,
derangement of the liver, dis.ntsas of the kidneys, and
affections of the brain and nerves, previously unexampled
in the history of medicine. An important matter regard-
ing these pills is that the invalid, by reading the accoin-
panying "directions for use," can. determine the proper
dose with a precision which no one could hope to attain
who had not long known his habits and constitution. Hol-
loway's pills act with the utmost safety and greatest
efficiency.
