(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

The York Meeting commences on Wednesday with a
programme of sport sufficient almost to raise the late
Mr. Orton (to whose energetic exertions its restoration
is to be attributed) from that turf under which he was
laid, to the deep regret of all lovers of racing in the
north.

On Wednesday we have the Dundas Stakes. the trial
stakes of the meeting ; the Queen's Plate ; the Great
Ebor Handicap ; the Filly Stakes ; the 30 Sovs. Sweep-
stakes ; Cult Sapling Stakes ; a free handicap, and a
match.

The entries for the first two races not having closed, I
must turn my attention to the Great Ebor Handicap, to
which there are thirty-three acceptances. Of these the
Shadow, Bst. Blbs., heads the list. ,he is a game old
mare, will run honest, has a favourable weight upon her;
but I think as distance has always been her forte, on this
occasion her lashing qualities will not have an oppor-
tunity of being displayed, as the course is only a mile
'and three-quarters. Trueboy, Bst 81b, I cannot hear of
at any price. Neither can I fancy Lightning to have
any chance. Yardley, but for his defeat at Wolver-
hampton, I think would have run well. The extra
weight upon Glossy I should think would prevent her
starting ; her chance at her original weight was first-
rate. Cataract is as slow as a hearse. Sir Abstrupus,
61b. 9st., is well in, but owing to his temper is
not to be trusted. Little Hampton, sst. 101 b., and
Jenny Wren sst., are certain to run forward. Marian
Ramsay, sst. 51b., is too stale for a race run at
the speed this is usually done at. Psalmsinger
and Dran Swift's penalties effectually extinguish
their chance if they ever had any. Pythia can hardly
have forgot the effects of her running at Goodwood.
And of the others, the only one I think that has the
chance of being published as the winner of this stake is
Vol-au-vent, whose running for the Newmarket Handi-
cap in the Craven meeting I cannot forget. It will be
recollected that for that race, with 6st. 61b., she beat

I-am-not-aware, Knight-of-the-Whistle, Croton Oil,
Priscilla Tomboy, and two others, the course being
exactly the same length as this ; and as he has had a
long rest, and will have the able assistance of Abdale, I
h•sve little doubt of his success. Next to him I prefer
Jenny Wren and Hampton, and think they will pass the
post in the order I have given their names.
The Filly Stakes has six subscribers, the two best
public runners among the lot are Marian Ramsay and
Liela, and to the former, with little fear, I accord the race.
In the Sweepstakes of 30 Sovs., Midlothian, I ima-
gine, will again be found first at the finish of the strug-
gle. Spur will walk over for the Colt Sapling Stakes,
and the match between Inheritress and Libel won by the
former.

In the Chesterfield Handicap, Semiseria, being at home,
may run kindly ; Philip should run well, but he made a
sad exhibition of himself at Wolverhampton. Godfrey's
chance, with only Szt. on his back, is excellent, so is
Ruwena's, and to these three I leave the race, stating at
the same time my preference for the latter.
The Great Yorkshire Stakes excite much interest in
all quarters. As the Stake is so small, we are sure to
have a good field start for it. Miss Elis, as may be
imagined, is first favourite, on account of her Goodwood
victories. Splendid as were her doings on that course, I
must say I do not think she will be found the best of the
lot opposed to her in this race. My reason for making
this statement is, that I do not think she can have re-
covered from the effects of her severe races at Goed•
wood, so as to beat animals that have had long rests, and
also because she can never run away from her own home.
Annandale should, and no doubt will, run well, and
either her or Jinglepot will, I opine, be found better in
the termination of the race than the Goodwood crack.
Have my readers forgot the result of the Queen's Plate
at Newcastle ? It they have, I have not.
The Prince of Wales's Stakes will furnish a good race
between Luminary and the Slayer's Daughter, and I
think he won by the former.
Of the animals in the Convivial Stakes I know nothing.
And the match between Inheritress and Sweetmeat will,
I am firmly convinced, be won by the latter.
