TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN,

Stn,—The meeting at Newton, under the stewardship of
Sir J. Gerard and Mr. Legh, commences on Wednesday
with the Lyme Park Produce Stakes, which will, in all pro-
bability, be nothing more than a " walk over" for Lena.
The Gold Cup, out. of thirty-eight nominations, has t wenty-
two acceptances; out of these about eleven will run, which, I
suppose, will be the following, viz :—Winesour, Parthian,
Juvenal, Cock Robin, Semiseria, Lightning, April Noddy,
Little Hampton, Sinbad, Pedometer, and Trueboy. I shall
look to Mr. Meiklam for the winner, expecting to see Little

Hampton and Winesour close up.
Stakes to Thalia, Proserpine handy.
On Thursday the St. Leger Stakes will bring a crack field
of four to the post, viz. !—Hope, Pluto, Fitzallen, and Iron-
master, who will no
.doubt pass the chair as I have placed
them.

The DT-awing-I:mon

The Colborne Stakes look well for Lord Harry or The
Traverser, Brutus and Thalia being the next best.
The late running at Liverpool for the St. Leger has dis-
closed a " great fact," and which ought to be borne in mind,
with respect to the Doncaster, St. Leger, and that is, that
Mentor, in first-rate condition, could barely beat Pantasa
" a head," the latter animal being just now considerably too
stout to run such a distance with ease to himself. I shall,
therefore, advise my readers to give an eye to Pantasa for the
great northern event.—l am, Sir, yours, &c.,
Tuesday. THE sPhurr OF THE TURF.

30 to 1 agst Mr. Treen's Una
40 to 1 agst Mr. Cuthbert's Queen of Tyne—taken
The horses quoted may be divided into two classes—viz.,
those in and those out of favour. The first comprehends
Boarding School Miss, Venus, 2Egis, Lightning, Miss Elis,
the Laird o' Cockpen, and Wee Pet. It is right to add, how-
ever, that the odds taken by the Wee Pet and Laird o' Cockpen
Commissioners were 20 to 1, two points less than were offered
later in the day.—Very little was done on Pythia, and the dis-
position to lay against Rowena, Queen Mab, John o' Gaunt,
Warp, Lothar►o, and Una, was unmistakable.

GOODWOOD CUP.
5 to 1 agst Mr Vane's Valerian
13 to 1 agst Mr. Gulley's St. Lawrence
15 to 1 agst Duke of Richmond's Refraction
15 to 1 agst Mr. A. W. Hill's Ironmaster
Offers to take 20 to 1 about My Old Hack.
The following quiche met our eye on entering the room :
" Mr. Forth has declared that Faugh-a-ballagh will not start
for the Goodwood Cup, and states that he does not expect he
shall have anything out of his stable to run for it." The an-
nouncement was made officially by Mes,,rs. Weatherby. Al-
though not formally declared, Stomacher, of course, dis-
appeared. Of her ailment we have heard nothing, and of
Faugh-a-ballagh we only know by report that he has been
under a suspicion of lameness for a considerable period. Va-
lerian, who was first noticed at Liverpool, became first favourite
at 5 to 1 (takers of 6 to 1), and a few bets were made in small
sums about St. Lawrence, Ironmaster, and Refraction. We
give the prices as nearly as we could make them out, hut
cannot pledge ourselves to their entire accuracy.

I3ANKSIDE REGATTA.
The race among the watermen at Bankside yesterday, for
a new boat and some good money prizes, given by the inha-
bitants of the Clink Liberty and its vicinity, was through-
out most spirited, and afforded much amusement to a vast
assemblage of persons, who were congregated on London,
Southwar, and Blackfriars bridges, Bankside, and the craft
moored off there. The race was with six mailers, in three
heats.
First Heat—John Hicks (yellow) 1 ; Alfred Harris
(brown), 2; John Harrison (pink), 3. The watermen started
in this and the succeeding heat from Mason's-stairs, round a
boat moored off the Phoenix coal-wharf, up round Messrs.
Horne's road, and down to Thames-street-stairs, the distance
being repeated. Harrison took the lead at a rattling pace,
but could not hold it, and gave place to both the other men
just above Southwark-bridge, Hicks then drew away and
kept it. Won by four lengths.
Second Heat.—Matthew Weed (green), 1 ; James Bush
(eel), 2 ; William Knight (blue), 3. It was a capital race;
Knight led, followed by Bush, Weed being in the rear of the
others. He, however, soon mended his position by gallantly
rowing by the others above Thames-street-stairs. The race
was kept up in the most spirited way, however, to the last,
and won by 1 alf a length only.
Grand Heat.—Bush, 1 ' • Hicks, 2; Harris, 3; Weed, 0.
Bush went away with the lead, closely pressed by Weed,
who went to work very prettily, and bade fair to get the first
