for the race under notice. In Mat. Dawson's team

there is no Julius, as Casse Tete and Head Centre
are moderate, and Honesty is not the good horse the
public believe him to be. J. Dawson may have a
good favourite in Donaldbain, Mercury, or Minster
Bell, most probably Mercury, as Donaldbain is a very
shifty customer, [and Minster Bell a thorough jade.
John Day has not a second Lecturer in Birdseeker or
Herald; but T. Day has a useful filly in Lady Raglan,
who will be hard to beat. William Day is represented
by The Special and Our Mary Ann, and the former horse,
if wanted, is sure to figure in the front ranks. At present
the market wears a suspicious aspect respecting The
Special, but should he be resuscitated I shall place him
on my reserve list, as there is a good race in this horse
yet. Choral, Black Diamond, and Elmira are indifferent
animals, though Black Diamond, who is the best of the
trio, will stay the course. Reltub, who is turned loose, is
a bad horse, and will not, we should imagine, see the
post. Eto:le Filante goes fast, but cannot stay. Blueskiu
and Corsair aro Mr. Savile's pair, and for the first-named
horse we have a strong penchant, as he is one of the
gamest colts over foaled, and will be galloping when
a lot of the impostors are beaten off. Abergaldie will
not stay the distance, and his stable companion,
judging by the tone of the market, will be re-
served for the Cambridgeshire. The filly by
Newminster out of the Irish Queen will prove the best of
W. Goatees lot, as Owain Glyndwr is an infirm horse, and
Romping Girl is over-weighted. Goodwood is a game,
honest horse, and will beat more than beats him, as stay-
ing is the forte of this son of Rataplau. Capsicum has no
chance of winning, as his antecedents aro bad. Restitu-
tion will represent Baron Rothschild. East Lancashire is a
patched-up horse, and has lost the fine racing qualities ho
once possessed. Mr. Hughes's lot are Ackworth, Planet,
Redcap, and Young Rapid. From this lot a dangerous
opponent to the leading favourites will come, and it
will no doubt be Planet, who, I ant informed, has ac-
quitted himself in a recent trial to the satisfaction of
his astute owner; and whatever beats this useful son
of Lauibton will, in my, opinion, win the Cesarewitch:
The French team,in which are Goudolier,Nelusko, Nemea,
and Pietro—the latter of whom, however, is not the pro-
perty of Count. Lagrange—present a bold front, and the
best, which we take to be Pietro, will take an infinity of
beating. ICingsland will be reserved for the Cambridge-
shire, in which race he is certain to figure in the front
ranks. Cecil is a goal horse, and if brought out for this
race will, in my judgment, beat every three-year-old en-
gaged, save Bluekskin and Lady Raglan. Blue Gown
promises to be one of the strangest handicap favourites
ever known; but Bst 111 b is a "steadier" for a compara-
tively small horse over this severe course, and I cannot
even assign a place to Sir Joseph Hawley's colt, as some of
the light-weighted three-year-olds are sure to hunt down
the clever son of Beadsman in the lastquarter of a mile of the
race. The Spy has never run like a stayer, and, more-
over, no boy can get this lazy son of Underhand out.
Mexico and Bandmaster have racently been amiss, though
the latter, if he only stands a preparation, will one day
prove a good horse. Runic is a bad-shouldered pony, and
Wadlow's second string, See Saw, is put out of court by
his 71b penalty. Dolby will not start, but his owner's
interests are likely to be represents(' by one of the Epsom
candidates. Safety is a slow, game filly, but her light
impost may bring her house in the front division, though
she does not road like a winner. Stradbroke lam
tired of waiting for, but his owner is sanguine of win-
ning, and vows the horse will beat all the leading
favourites; and, as Stradbroke can stay the course,
he may run better than he did at Chester
and Goodwood. Lord Stamford's string includes Charts-
wood, Vale Royal, and Warrington, all of whom
are good horses. Ju lging by the present aspect of the
market, Warrington will be the trusted one, and that he
will run we have little doubt. Still he is not bred like a
stayer, and I apprehenl Warrington will act batter in
the Cambridgeshire than in the Cosarewitch. Ecartd is a
mean-looking horse. Tormentor has lost all heart, though
she is remarkably well treated in this race. Wardour has
not been seen in public this year, and 1 a:n, therefore,
ignorant of his merits, if he has any. Summing
up these remarks, I have only to retain Lady
Raglan, Cecil, and Blueskin as my champions; and, iu
reducing them, I shall stand or fall with
LADY RAGLAN.

There is tin excellent entry of thirty-nine for the Clear-
well Stakes (5 furlongs 14.0 yards), and the most notable
names in the list are Duke of Beaufort, Thor, Chaucer,
Martinique, Lady Cecilia, Pero Gomez, Boulog,no, Elec-
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 Clear well. Should
Prince Imperial, however, be brought out, he must have
my vote, and only in his absence should I look for the
success of Martinique, who is a very smart filly.
live 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 most
notable names in the list aro Tasman, ltyshworth, Bads-
worth, Strathnairn, Scottish Queen, Typhon, Thor, The
Orphan, Chanoinesse, Fairminster, Consternation, Blair
Drummond, Chaucer, Chatelherault, Woodman, Pero
Gomez, Morna, Flower Girl, Lady Dawhurst, Belladrum,
Pretender, Brigantine, Boulogne, Martyrdom, Elec-
tricity, Chatsworth, Prince Imperial, Abstinence, Teno-
dos, and Border Knight. Belladrum, notwithstanding
his 71b penalty, will probably bo elected the
favourite ; but to the non-public pirformers—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
1.3 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 Athelstano. 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 are
Athena, Pearlfeather, Frolicsome, Loonie, Formosa, Green
Sleeve, Naivete, St. Angela, Nyanza, Mysotis, Lady Rag-
lan, Veda, Rotty, Casse Tote, and Happy Thought. For-
mosa is penalised 71b, but to hor and Athena the
race will be confined, and the last named filly ha■ im-
proved so much since the pair met in the One Thousand
Gnineas 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 bo 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 are the Newmarket Derby and the Prendergast
Stakes. For the Newmarket Derby (ljr 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 those
horses a goodly field ought to be selected, but I
give the preference to Suffolk and See-Saw. Thera is a
capital entry for the Prendergast Stakes (5 furlongs 140
yards), and in the list aro Chaucer, Duke of Beaufort,
Tasman, The Orphan, Basilia, Flower Girl, Pero Gomez,
Morna, Siderolite, Chatsworth, Tenedos, Strathnairn,
Border Knight, and the colt by Tim Whiffler out of Her-
mione. Several of these horses will have run in the
Middle Park Plate prior to this race being decided ; but
at present my choice is Pero Gomez and Tasman, both of
whom are high-class cots.

A FRESH. MAN.

[ADVERTISEMENT. I—Holloway's Pills.—No Distrust.—
Public opinion speaks in no feeble, no uncertain voice con-
eel-ding the merits of these pills for purifying th 3 blood,
regulating the action of different organs, and strength •n•
ing the human body generally. Holloway's pills have
ga:ned a reputation for curing disorders of the stomach,
derangement of the liver, diseases of the kidneys, and
affections of the brain and nerves, previously unexampled
in the history of medicine. Au important matter regard-
ing these pills is that the invalid, by reading the accom-
panying " for use," can d,it.,rmine 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.
