SIR,-'-My judgment on the Great Northamptonshire
Stakes was decidedly at fault, in placing Osterly first,
with Chantrey and Mounseer in attendance, although I
am still of opinion that had Osterley been welt handled,
not cutting out the work, or charging the hill a la Tartar,
he would have won, and Priestess (a second Inheritress
in my estimation) would only have obtained second or
third honours. Bee Hunter's defeat by Lord
Exeter's fast-bred filly Celia, out of Celia,
completely electrified the nerves of that bustling " re-
public, community, club," 3 clept " the Ring ;" 7 and 8
to 1 on the Hunter went begging; I attribute his defeat
to the state of the ground, and drawing the race too
fine. As I. anticipated, Prestige and Buckhound ran
second and third for the Althorpe Park Stakes, but I
must confess I never dream't of giving a receipt in full
to the Slane filly, who must not be forgotten, the per-
formance, so far as time goes (half-mile, 44 sees.) being
equal if not superior to any accomplished during the
last three years.
My fancy Alonzo was disposed of by a head 1g Brennits4
for Lord Spencer's Plate, and tie "sporting house
creeks, Equiria and The Recluse, both backed fieely at
10 to 1, were very close up.
The Great Metropolitan Stakes, run to-morrow, will
draw together a field of some 15 or 16, including Raby,
let 91b, Mounseer, 6st 10Ib, Ada Mary, 6st 101 b, Sir
Gilbert, 6st 21b, Cheerful, 61t, and Valentine,
4st 41b, among whom the race will hiy—
Kiss-away's starting I look upon as doubtful,
or I should have thought favourably of her chance.
Ruby cannot give the weight to Mounseer, much less to
Cheerful; Sir Gilbert cannot go the pace; Valentine will
be in front, but CLIEERFUL will be the Winner! Moun-
seer and Ada Mary second and third; Valentine and
Raby following.
The Two-year-old Stakes, I imagine, will introduce
Edward of York; ho or Buckhound ought to win it;
Teddington and Queen of Cyprus filly read next best.
I am, Sir, your's, Bto.,
THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.

[ADVERTISEMENT.I—Skin Diseases.—Dr. Powell's
Testimony to the Efficacy of Holloway's Pills and Ointment.—
Extract of a letter dated "16, Blessington-street, Dublin,
Feb. 9, 1847 :—Professor Holloway,—Dear Sir: Having de-
voted my particular attention for some years to the treatment
of cutaneous or skin diseases, I think it right to inform you that
I have in a great many cases recommended the use of your
pill 3 end ointn.ent, and invariably found them to have the most
perfect t:ffeet in removing those diseases, even when of a very
desperate nature. ( Signed) W. E. Powell, M.D." In cases
of scald heads, ringworms, pimples or tetters on the face, the
effect of the medicine is astonishing.—Sold by all Druggists,
