Sir Joseph Hawley has three strings to his bow in
Rosicrucian, Blue Gown, and Green Sleeve. I think the
first-named will be reserved for the Derby; and although
Blue Gown is not in the race according to market opera-
tions, I feel persuaded if Sir Joseph starts him he will
perform in a most satisfactory manner. The fact is, had
he been ridden for The Biennial Stakes without instruc-
tions—for Wells without orders would have never made
such a mistake—Blue Gown would have shown the best
turn of speed, and asked to come home as quack as he
could, would have beaten The Earl cleverly. Formosa
is by Buccaneer, and, like her sire, possesses a won-
derfal turn of speed. The style in which she defeated
Leonie, Athena, Suffolk, and several others in the Ches-
terfield Stakes, atNewmarket, shows her to bo a flyer, and
a careful reference to the weight she was giving to every
animal in the Middle Park Plato (Lady Elizabeth ex-
cepted), whore she was not beaten more than two or
three lengths, is sufficient to prove what an extraordinary
chance she must have.

St. Ronan was a groat overgrown two year old, but no
colt last year looked more likely to improve from that age
to the present time than he did, and it is worth while to
recollect that Captain Machell has backed him at long
shots to win a good deal of money both for this event and
the Derby. Ile is sure to run forward if Mr. Chaplin
decidts upon starting him. Moslem is evidently an im-
proving horse. Under the same impression Lord Glasgow's
best representative has not the slightest attraction fur tue
this time. Pace's best performance was unmistakeably
when he defeated The Earl at Doncaster last year, receiv-
ing 51b from the latter, which is not sufficiently good to win
a race of this kind. The Earl is a great horse, and when ho
met, his defeat had run for six different engagements, quite
sufticieutto make himastale horse. I have alway insisted,
and do so now, that The Earl is a really first-class race horse;
therefore, if I thought the Duke's horse had defeated him
on his best form he would be a great fancy of mine. On
the contray, I think it was a fluke, and that the Marquis's
horse, fit and well al; he carneout for the Biennial Stakes at
Newmarket, in the Craven Meeting, would have run away
from him. lam obliged, therefore, to discard his chance.
Le Sarazzin will represent the French division satisfac-
torily, and is, I think, the best outsider in the race.
Nolusko's appearance and style of going pleased me most
of all the runners in the Biennial, and as the Woodcote
Stakes' wiuuer of last year. has evidently had a satisfac-
tory trial with him, I am bound to speak highly of his
chance on this occasion. Vale Royal has been heavily
supported since the report of a favourable trial which he
is raid to have at Newmarket last week. Nevertheless, I
cannot fancy his chance, our yet that of Ironmaster, Resti-
tution, and Banditto, who may help to increase the field.
Owing• to the great uncertainty that exists about -Sir
Joseph's lot, I shall stand by

LE SARAZZIN and FERIIOSA.

For Wednesday's eugagements I should recommend

BLUE Gown, or, in his ahTseuce, SUFFOLK. There ace no
less than 101 nominations for the Two Year Old Plato,
which, however, looks a good thing for 11.4SANIELLO, who
I believe is a good dual superior to CURIEUSE. I should
think Xi will beat his two opponents for. the Sweepstakes
of 100 sovs each. The Prince of Wales's Stakes will go to
TARABAN ; the Sweepstakes of 50 soya each for 4-yr-
olds to %TIMMS ; the Sweepstakes of 50 sews for 3-yr-olds
to SUFFk/LK ; and TUEGEAGLE ought to secure the Sweep-
stakes of 50 sovs each A.F.I shall expect to seo TILE
lIERMIT beat Julius in the I,ooogs. match.
Amongst the stakes run for on Thursday will be the
Free Handicap, but the acceptances are not to be declared
until six o'clock to-night. I can only, therefore, remark
that AILESBURY, GUY OF WARWICK, and DEMONSTRATION
aro by no means badly treated. The result of the 1,000
Guineas will be considerably influenced by the running of
the Two Thousand, as, at any rate, we may fully expect
to see Green Sleeve and Formosa meet on Tuesday next,
and your readers will then be able to judge of their
Pretensions much better than it is in my p3wer to do at
present. There is very little doubt on my mind, however,
that either

GREEN SLEEVE or FORXIOSA
will win this rich prize, whilst I think LADY COTENTILY
will run into a situation. 'TIE PARSON will probably
walk over for the Sweepstakes of 100 sows each.
Should TILE EARL an I BLUE GowN put in an
appearance for the Newmarket Stakes, the event will
cause a groat amount of speculltiou, and I believe Sir
Joseph Hawley's good-looking son of Beadsman will win.
BLINKttooLIE will win the Sweepstakes of 300 8075 each.
If EVROPA is in form she will Iwo no difnmlty iu win-
ning the Coffee &min Stakes; and a Sweepstakes of 200
sovs each looks like an cqutlly good thing for SISTER TO
A PItESII MAN.
