SEPTEMBER 7, 1857

Like the stump orator who addressed a meeting the
other day " I have only a few words to say, and these
are those." Curiosity has been gratified by the prompt
publication of the weights for the Cesarewitch and
Cambridgeshire Stakes (which by the way appeared
exclusively in the Sun on Friday last), end the merits
of the Handicaps have been fully discussed. Here
from my '• loop hole of retreat," I have not been able
to discern many movements, and scarcely a rumour
has reached me respecting those aninaals which are
deemed by the " talent " well in. The "Admiral"
made no idle threat when he signified his intention of
marking ceitalu horses, as the weight which he has put
oa S wyndtl Dhygga well attests. The game played with
this horse is not a little puzzling, for only two weeks
ago he was running amongst animals little better than
thistle croppers at a paltry out of the way meeting at
Tiverton. He was, too, beaten off I The premature
speculators who were so eager to gat on Melissa are
sadly..disappointed at her weight, and are rightly served
for receiving so credulously a rumour, which stated
her weight to be about 7 st. She is not now
likely to trouble bookmakers. The American
mare Prioress is favourably handicapped, and despite
what the American papers may urge to the contrary,
the success of the "stars and stripes" would cause gene-
ral gratification. By the way, what does the Spirit of
the Times mean by stating that if the defeat of Pryor and
Prioress had taken place at York, " they should have
received it with distrust." It then goes on to state that
the " management of Goodwood Races is beyond sus-
picion." What is the Spirit's opinion of York
To return, however, to the Cesarewitch. The three
year olds have been heavily weighted, nearly every one
of them that has shown any form being handicapped out
of the race, whilst many dl 'ens are turned loose. I
shall not attampt to estimate the chances until after the
declaration of the acceptances.

The Lichfield Meeting does not require notice, so
little interest does it excite. Sportsmen of the midland
counties will doubtless "rally round" Mr. Marshall at
Derby, where the sport will be ledtitnate if not first-
rate. Fisherman or Tiff will win the Tradesmen's Plate,
and Keystone ought to be good enough t, beat his op-
ponenis for the Nursery. -The Innkeepers' Plate, I
shall assign to Van Danck. 'After the form in which he
exhibited at Warwick, Claret ought to have no difficulty
in winning the Chatsworth Stakes. In his default
either Huntington or Leo will pull through. 2Ethon
or Schoolfellow are my fancies for the Juvenile Stakes.
Cockneys will as usual " come out " in great force at
Rochester. The Railway company will run special trains
for their accommodation, and it will not be the fault of
the officials if a right pleasant meeting be not celebrated.
The "pribable results " do not demand elaborate dis-
cussion. Triton or Amelia are the most likely animals
to catch the judge's eye for the Visitor's Plate. On pa-
per Miss Harkaway and Dramatist are entitled to con-
sideration fur the Rockingham Plate, and the New S takes
is likely to go to the representative of Steven's stable.

FEIST'S RACING RECORD.—This little work has now
becomed a " fixed fact." As a book of reference racing
men have found it most useful, and as they are perfectly
acquainted with its contents, and as it is a handbook i❑
general request, we need only record the publication of
the September part on the let of the month.

HUNTING APPOINTMENTS,
