The Sun.
London, England, 1850-10-28 00:00:00

ARIOSTO,

and expect to see 800, CoLtidenee, and Mr. Merryman,
to clue attendance.

The Cambridgeshire Stakes, the last " great go" of the
season, " comes off" on Tuesday, and, there is every rea-
son to believe, a field but little inferior in number to that
which started (when The Widow won this stake in 1847,
when I had the pleasure of seeing the greatest number
of starters (37) that ever ran for any race in England,
charging up the course in grand array) will be brought
to the post to contest the palm of victory.
The following list includes all that will start. Those
marked d are doubtful :

The first flight I imagine will consist of Essedarius,
Loadstone, Fugleman, Borneo, Miss Ann, Landgrave,
Ilarriott, Italian, Docility, King of Oude, Clelia, and
California. Landgrave claims my first attention; I
will dispose of him in a few words—in my opinion, he
could have won the Cesarewitch, and he can win the
Cambridgeshire; whether he will or not, the great
arbiter of human events, Time, must decide. Load-
stone attracts all the aristocratic magnets; he will run
very forward, but as the absolute victor, I cannot have
him; his stable companion, Borneo, if run on his merits,
and not sacrificed to Loadstone (as I expect he will be)
would be very likely to do-the-boys, and thus realise his
ex-cognomination. Dawson's hope, The Italian, may
run fourth or fifth, I cannot award him a nearer place to
Fortune's temple. The mention of this horse's name
the other night at one of our most sporting club-houses,
started a theme, anything but sporting, but one that is
just now agitating that (in our favoured isle) all-power-
ful engine, the press; and that is the appointment of a
Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster, &c. We might say,
in the immortal Shakspere's words—
.

" Thou canst not, Cardinal, devise a name
So slight, unworthy, and ridiculous,
'To charge me to thy control, as the Pope.
Tell him this tale; and from the mouth of England,
Add thus much more,—that no Italian priest
Shall tithe or toll in our dominions."
If the Italian's chance of winning the Cambridg.abire
was no greater than the establishment of the Pope's su-
premacy in England, it would be small indeed; especially
after the terrific battery which, I perceive by to-day's
paper, was opened on the Wise-man of Westminster
from five can(n)ons of that ancient city.
But what's this to the purpose? you will say.
Gentle reader, nothing; a mere speculation,
For which my sole excuse is—'tis my way,
Sometimes with. and sometimes without occasio,i,
I write what's uppetmnst, without: delay."
Tt-,o King of Dude I cannot fancy, his majesty is
.• bought and sold." Rus,sborfmgh is over-weighted, so
I'm %laid tiseearius, but, notwithstanding, the lacer
will b;,extre ly tmi"':, • ,the:
California, ought to be, at 'the weigut (sst. 81b.) a per-
fect " digging," a genuine gold mine; " come what will,

MONDAY EVEN I NG, OCTOBER

come what may," California shall be my auriferous e.,ek-
boat on the day. Fugl,.tran, Miss Ann, and Docility
will run well and very f ,rward, or I am much miasiten.
Clelia, the daughter of the Celia, can run when
she likes. she nniy take a lit into her head to do so now.
ll3g:ey, The Alo•or, and Alo: z are all suited
to the distance, and one may win, but I think not so.
In conelusion, commend me especially to Landgrave,
Loadstone, Clelia, and Cilitnrnia_
LANDGRAVE
for choice.

For the Glmsgow Stakes, on Thursday, as Storm, 'tis
said, will he an absentee, why Ariosto, Hernandez, and
The Black Sea may perchance travel home first, second,
and third.

Nearly every other stake is as yet a skeleton; but on
Thursday I will plunge into print on the Nursery
Stakes, the entry for which is not out a, yet. Last year
I " stood alone i❑ my glory" in my prediction on this
stake; in the face of like
L g- I selected the outsider,
Little Jack.—l am, Sir, yonrs,
THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.
