Handicap—Nyanza. Doncaster Plate—Veda. The

am doubtful, it will be Sunstroke, as he is the best of that
lot just now. Corporation Plato.—Sunstroke, The Parson,
and Lady Rosehill are in, but as 1 have not soon the
weights I must defer expressing an opinion until my
next. Sweepstakes of 10 boys cach.—Belladruni, Crocus,
and Giantess are our lot, and of course " the Drum" is the
best.

MIDDLEiIAM.—We are likely to have a great number of
horses at Doncaster. In the Champagne Stakes we have
Dorventio and Minaret in good work. The former is a
great good looking colt, and a splendid goer, but is back-
ward in condition. Minaret is going first class, and will
be our best. Pinnacle has gone home. Vansittart, Wood-
man, Glenalmond, and Duchess of Athol are only canter-
ing. Glasgow Stakes—ltch colt is very well, and I may
:say the same of the Lady Melbourne filly in the Filly
Stakes, which she will about land. Tabouret and Etoile
Filante aro both very lit, and the latter is nicely treated in
the Great Yorkshire Handicap, but I think she is rather
jady. Tabouret never went better, and the ono that beats
him will win.
lIEDNESTJUD.—No have nothing with the ghost of a
chance in the Lager. There is one thing, however, I wish
to remind you of, which is tin high opin'on Thomas
Dawson had of Uueas, throug4 his running with Mercury
last year, and I fancy Mercury is worth your readers' at-
tention fur a place. In the Filly Sapling Stakes wo have
Melody, who, though, like Uncas, rather small, is as game
as a pebble. In the Doncaster Stakes we have William
and Uncas, but neither will run. The latter, Monitor, and
Ite,trousse are only taking walking exercise in the
paddock.
ILSLEY. —la the St. Leger we have Cap-à-Pie, Orion,
Ironmaster,Milton, Belfast, Proctor,and Hatchment engaged.
Cap-à-Pie is as well as any horse in the world can be and is
daily doing good work. lie will run well, but I don't think he
is class enough for this event, though be is sure to finish
in the front rank. Orion has done well of late, and looks
and goes well. He is a real good horse at a mile, but I
cannot fancy him over this course, and in my opinion
Cap-a-Pie will beat him. Ironmaster is in rare form again
just now, but as three-quarters of a mile is his best dis-
tance, he can have no chance. Milton, Proctor, and
Hatchment are not worth commenting upon. Cap-a-Pie
is also engaged in the Great Yorkshire Handicap, and
should his owner run him for this race he will take some

doing.
FIXDON.—Since my last letter, I am glad to say that a
very great improvement has taken place in our horses
engaged in the Cesarewitch and the Cambridgeshire.
Romping Girl has been put into longer work, and led by
the gelding by Vedette out of Vixen, is going a rare gallop
each morning of two miles. Owain Glyudv► r, Thalia, and
Hermitage aro doing a mile and a half at three-quarters
speed. Fakir and Wolsey aro doing a mile each morn-
ing. Doncaster Mooting.—The Great Yorkshire Handi-
cap.—Wo have Romping .Girl and Thalia, and of thb
two the former is going much the best. Clamber Plato
Tibthorpe and Bismarck are in, and 1 should go for the
first-named if he runs, as Bismarck is a very different ani-
mal from what ho was once.

FYFIELD —I don't think we shall have many horses at
Doncaster. In the Champagne Stakes wo have Carine
and Tom Tayler engaged. The latter I have not seen on
the downs for a long time, and although Carine is a smart
looking filly, I cannot recommend her on this occasion.
St. Leger—Picnio and Boanerges are our lot. Picnic's
form your readers well know. Boanerges has been walk-
ing the whole summer, but is now doing some nice steady
work. I should say he wont be among the starters, but I
think he is quite likely to be heard of before the season is
Over.

STANTON.—At Doncaster, next week, we have Christmas
Carol engaged in the Great Yorkshire Handicap, and with
his light impost he ought to about win. In the St. Leger
we have Ruric, Marlyon, Catton, and See-Saw. The last-
named is the only one that will stand any chance from
here, and I believe him worth a place investment, as I
never saw a horse look or go better. I believe next Wed-
nesday he will strip one of the finest horses at Doncaster.
Grey Stocking will stand no chance for the Corporation
Plate, as she has only been doing walking exercise of late.
MALTON. —Our two Leger horses—The Spy and Vis-
count—aro being rattled along, led by War for the last three
days, as their old schoolmaster, Taraban, seems to have
had enough of it. For the Champagne, Fecialis is well,
and has undergone a strong preparation, but I am inclined

to think the company too good for him. lie is also in the
Glasgow Stakes, where I think he will be better matched.
War is in the Great Yorkshire Handicap, and the old
horse was never better. Should he go as well at Doncas-
ter as he does at home, he will about land this stake. The
Clipper, in the Filly Stakes, is well and fit to run, but she
has a will of her own. In the Leger we have The Spy
and Viscount, who are both well, and have undergone
one of the Whitewall veteran's Leger preparations. My
choice is for the last-named, and whatever beats him will
win.

Ersom.,—On looking through the Doncaster programme
1 find we shall bo but very poorly represented there.
Candidate is in the Glasgow Stakes, and should certainly
land that stake Lor his owner. Groat Yorkshire Handicap
—The Laird is our solo representative, and with his lenient
impost must be near winning this stake for the squire, and
recompense him for his Canterbury disqualification. The
horse has done well since his return.

LEIVES.--I am sorry I have so little to roport to-day,
for, Drewitt being at Abingdon, there is scarcely anything
doing. There are about twenty horses in the morning
strings, but they are only cantering. Drewitt ,vill have
no horses at Doncaster, and by the work Reed's are doing,
I should think he is not likely to have any run fur some
time to come. I hear from 'reiscombe that Paul Junes is
doing first-class, and will run for the St. Leger, and by
what I think he will take his own patt should all be well.

SCRATCHING OF THE EARL.—This horse, the doings in
connection with whom have this year bean attended with
such unenviable notority, was struck out of all his en-
gagements for the present year yesterday (Friday). For
some time past The Earl, so long the first favourite for
the St. Leger, has, not unnaturally after the Derby ex-
periences, been looked upon with extreme suQpicion, his
bewildered backers, as they watched the up and down
and down and up movements from day to day, being in a
strait as to whether they ought to " stand him" or " get
out." Now reported as having cracked heels and unable
to raise a gallop, and then despite these rumours coming
this week from 3 to 1 to 6 to 4, and then going away again
on Friday to 8 to 1, were suspicious signs enough ; but
the Gordian knot was effectually severed by the pen being
put through his name at 3.5 p.m., his stable companion
Lady Elizabeth being struck out of the St. Leger only at
the same time.

EX CENSIVE FIRE AT SOUTIId.3IPTO.V.

SOUTHAMPTON, Friday, 11 p.m.

A very calamitous fire has occurred this evening
in the extensive engine factories and workshops of
the West India Royal Mail Company, situate
in the docks. The fire was first discovered in
the carpenters' workshop about eight o'cloc, and
in a few minutes it spread with great rapidity,
wrapping an immense portion of the building in
flames. Engines of all descriptions were speedily
on the spot, and assistance was rendered from
all quarters, but for a long time with very little
apparent effect. The Royal Engineers, the Marines
and crew of her Majesty's ship Hector, and the
Ist Ilants Volunteer Engineers were soon on the
ground, and rendered great service. For more than
two hours the fire raged with fearful fury, lighting
up the whole town in one vast illumination. The
most important parts of the factory are totally de-
stroyed, including the valuable plant of machinery,
the patterns andmodels, the engineers' library, work-
men's tools, and other property, the value of which
may be estimated by thousands of pounds. At one
time the end of the large sugar factory which ad-
joins the premises caught fire and burnt with great
rapidity, and for an hoar or more the total de-
struction of the whole building was seriously threat-
ened. At the time of writing this the fire is still
burning within a given area, but any further exten-
sion is not probable. The cause of the fire cannot
at present be ascertained. As far as is known no
personal injury has occurred, although many men
exposed themselves to great peril in their coura-
geous endeavours to arrest the flames. in two or
three places the gas pipes melted, and the burning
gas added to the flames, while several immense
coal heaps, containing hundreds of tons, were a
mass of fire.

Tho markets have a quiet tone this morning, and but
little is passing in any department. Tho tone is, however,
firm for most articles. The fine qualities of the now teas

firmer. English brown raps has advanced to 31s on the
