MOSLEM or FORNIOSA, providing they are well. Sc. It mau
will win the Sweepstakes of 300 soya each, as, although he
is a roarer, he can stay the Craven Course in this company.
T, ere are thirty-nine horses left in the Goodwood Stakes,
of whom Blinkhoolie heads the list, but he will not run, as
there is metal more attractive fur him on Thuresday. Tyne-
dale is a fair, honest horse, and if ho is the representative of
Tom Dawson's stable, will nearly win. Honesty has
grown into a great, good-looking horse, and has been
doing plenty of work lately; but he is still on the lusty
side, and is evidently getting ready for something from the
work he is doing. Perhaps he may go to France, as he is
in a race there some time in August. Gainers, we are
told, is sure to win, and if she does I shall be sorry for
the owners of all the horses that will be behind her, for
in my opinion she Is an over-rated mare. I don't moan
to say she can't win, for if there are :no better cla-s
of horses she will have to match this year than she beat
last, she is sure to pull off the double event. All those
behind her last year were a lot of rips ; and if my memory
serves me right not ono of them has ever won a race
since. In fact, all the handicap horses last year were
very moderate, and, as far as we have gone in the
present year they are very little better, so that makes
Gomera's chance look very rosy. But .I shall not stand
her, as her running with Julius at Stockbridge was all
bosh. But more of that anon. Hippie beat her in a com-
mon canter at Epsom, ; and I should be sorry to stand the
Baron's mare with Bstfilb. She hats-deceived the stable twice
this year, as she was tried with the Vixen gelding before
Bath, and the latter beat her in a canter. There was a com-
mission sent to every town in England to back him for
for the .Bath .and Somerset Stakes, and he cut up a
duffer. Again; she was • tried with Cass° Tete before
AscOt, (slid We Were told Gomera could not win the Ascot
Stakes Witli7 t7lb, and the stable stood the young one
and lost their money. Gomera was very fortunate last
year in winning two great handicaps, beating a lot of the
greatest rips that ever were foaled. Surely there must be
something in the Goodwood Stakes that can gallop a little
bit, and if there is Gomera can't win, for whenever she
met anything last year that could gallop she did not win.
Dalosman beat her in a canter at Ascot, and he is a slow
bad horse, but has always had the top weight in all the
handicaps he has been entered for since he beat the over-
rated Gomera. Goodwood boat her at Warwick, and he is
a slow, muddling horse, and when she ran in the Doncaster
Cup I think she was somewhat about the Red House when
Achievement cantered past the winning cha:r. Lucifer
will not run, and Taraban is too uncertain for me to
stand. Miss Havelock is a rip, and one of the dearest ani-
mals that ever was bought. His owner caught the
poor fly in his meshes when he sold him this plater for
£1,500. Romping Girl is well in, and should she come fit
to the post, and her noble owner got his money on, I
should look no further for the winner. Frederick
Charles I know nothing of, and Salpinctes is the
worst horse that over won the Cesarewitch. Can-
non Ball is well in, and is not such a duffer as some peo-
ple would make out. He has been eased in his work for
a few days, but he has been out every morning lately
doing his work on the tan, and if his owner's money is on
he is sure to run well. It would be only a waste of time
were I to go through the remainder of the horses that are
likely to run. Mr. Parr told me at Worcester that he has
got a good horse in Ecarte, and if Ise has he will beat
Gomera ; and I shall stand the best of Toni Dawson's or
Mr. Parr's horse to pull me through; and ware I to place
others, I should go for Tynedale or Tabouret to win, and
Ecarte for a place. VALE ROYAL will win the Racing
Stakes. The Zetland Stakes of 100 sous each will fall to
Mr Merry, as Tregeagle is a cripple and a coward. BELLA-
DRUM will win the Molcombe Stakes, as I don't think
Chatelherault is so good a horse as some people think ; and
Wild Oats, brother to Wild Moor, is not fit to run at present,
but from all appearance he will make a good horse some day.
I am afraid we shall have a small field for the Goodwood
Cup. I see Blinkhoolie is a great favourite, but in my
opinion Julius will change places with him in the betting
before the flag falls, as the course will suit him better than
the up and down hills at Ascot. All those who favoured
me by reading my remarks in a contemporary before he
ran his match here with the Hermit will remember that
I then stated Julius did not like a hill, and a perusal of
the ciiinder will prove my argument to be quite correct,
as he bas always run a stone better horse on a flat course
than when he runs up a hill. Lord Ronald gave him 2 llbs.
and beat him up the hill at Colchester last year, and I
should like them to moot here across our flat at even
weights the day after the Cup is ran, and I
would back Julius. When ho ran the Hermit
up the Cambridge Hill in the spring it took him
all Isis time to win, when ho was receiving 71bs. from
the Derby winner, but when they met again on the fiat Julius
ran clean away from him at even weights, and I was quite
prepared to ieo him beaten at Ascot, for wlien he came up the
hill the first time he did not seem to like it ; and as for the
Stockbridge running it is all moonshine, for Daley lay away
too far from Gomera, and it was cruelty to such a fine horse
as Julius to ask him to make up so much ground, and win
over a course that he did not like. Speculam has been
bonneted up pretty well in the market by some writers,
and that with Kenyon up he will be a great favJurito ;
but, in my opinion, ho will be started to make running for
his stable companion. It is really amusing to me to read
the remarks of some writers, when they call Speculum
their little favourite for the City and Suburban, when
they selected two or three of Matthew Dawson's before
they even mentioned Speculum, when I came out boldly and
gave the public the straight tip in the following words:-
01 We are told Matthew Dawson will have a great fa-
vourite for the City and Suburban, but I have cudgelled
my brain to find out where this great favourite is to
come from, and from a close perusal of his lot, I can see
nothing with any chance of winning, only SOculuin ;
and after he won I told the readers of the Sportsman not
to be too sweet on him for the Derby, that he would find
Bst 101 b a different weight to gallop under over the Derby
course to Gst 121 b over the last mile and a quarter of the
same ground ; but he ran just where I stated ho would
do, in the first three. Speculum is, what I always said
he was, a game little horse, but too small to contend with
horses of larger dimensions, as be is one of the smallest
horses below the knee that ever I saw in my life. He is
an over-rated animal; and I think Matthew Dawson is
too good a judge to believe some of our clever writers who
state Spec. can beat Blinkhoolie. Perhaps the wish is
father to the thought when they say that Blinkhoolie can't
beat a horse that was third in the Derby and second in
the Ascot Cup ; but something must be third to Blue
Gown iu both races ; and, as for Speculum beating King
Alfred at Ascot there was nothing it, as the Baron's horse
had never boon trained to stay a distance, nor was he
ever galloped over a mile and a half of ground in
his life before he went to Ascct, and I was surprised to
see him run so well; but I am quite sure Speculum will
never beat King .Alfred again, so lone. as the Baron's
horse keeps as well as he is now, for he has grown into
one of the grandest-looking horses in England. Suffolk
is doing good work, and will run for the Cup. He was
never a favourite of mine; but if he will only run kindly
he will beat Speculum. Blinkhoolie, from his Ascot run-
ning, is bound to run well ; but, for reasons explained
above, I would sooner stand Julius, as the Goodwood
course will suit him. As it will be only a waste of time
for me to make any further comments on the other horses
engaged in the race, 1 shall place

J ULIUS 1
BLINK HO OLIE -2
• .
SUFFOLK 3
My reasons for not placing Speculum before Suffolk is be-
cause I think when Speculum has performed his mission
in making running for Julius, ho will, most likely, bo
stopped, and the Baron's horse will get a place. thena will
win the Nassau Stakes, and D'Estournel will win the One
Hundred Sovereign Sweepstakes, as ho seems to run kindly
since he has been made a gelding of. I think I may say
the same of the Chesterfield Cup as I did of the
Stewards' Cup, that all the top weights aro out of
it. I think old King Charming, Clarion, and
Snowdrop are the best in of the Newmarket horses.
Tho Handicapper has put Suffolk out of court, as is always
the case when the Baron enters a horse for a handicap ;
it matters not how often his horses get beat, it never gets
any weight of them ; he makes Suffolk give Lictor 121bs
that has been winning several times this year, and gave
gave King Alfred 5 lbs., and beat him here last autumn.
I know nothing about the Nursery, only I think the
CROWN PRINCESS the best in of our lot. The Baron's colt
by Lampton out of lliss Peddle is shamefully weighted, as
ho has nearly top weight for winning a selling race in
the July meeting.

NEWMARKET.

The Nottinghill July Meeting next year will be held
on the 15th and 16th of the month, so as to precede Hunt-
ingdon.
Engraver, after winning the Short Stakes at Notting-
ham on Thursday, was bought by Mr. Payne for 180
guineas.

Lymington, after winning the Corporation Stakes at
Huntingdon on Wednesday, was sold to Mr. H. Wright
for 320 guineas.
The two year old filly by Buccaneer out of Prevention,
after winning the Grand Stand Plate at Nottingham, was
sold to Mr. James Dover for 130 guineas.
The Stewards elect for the Huntingdon meeting, 1869,
are the Earl of Sandwich, Duke of Manchester, Admiral
Itous, Lord Westmorland, Sir P. Johnstone, Sir W. Booth,
Lord Proby, Mr Chaplin, Mr. Payne, and Mr. S. C.
Newton.

FIDELIA.—This filly, winner of the Nottinghamshire
Handicap, was objected to by the owner of the second horse
King of the Fairies, on the ground of improper descrip-
tibu. The Stewards at once investigated the objection,
and decided it to bo groundless.
