HAMPTON RACES.

(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)

Hampton, the merriest, if not the largest of the metro-
politan meetings, cut down by the anti play-table demon-
stration of the Home Secretary, from three days to two,
commences to-morrow, with every prospect of lovely weather,
a crowded course, and excellent sport. I doubt if there is
any race-course in the kingdom where people seem happier,
or more content, than they do on the classic plain of
Moulsey. The racing seems to concern the betting men only,
while the rest of the company are actively engaged either in
diving into the recesses of pigeon-pies, draining the contents
of long-necked bottles, practising at temporary (very tem-
porary, as Punch would say), archery meetings, or else in-
dulging themselves, or their progeny, in short rides on at-
tenuated ponies and asses. The entries for the different
stakes are more numerous than last year, and I have no doubt,

in consequence of the recent severe measures adopted by th
Jockey Club against persons of a certain description, the
system of " pulling," hitherto so prevalent at Hampton, will
be abolished.

WEDNESDAY.—For the Gold Cup, as it is pompously

termed, there are ten horses named, all of average merit. Of
these, Loadstone has no attraction for me. Sambo's per-
formance at Gorhambury was so wretched a one that he shall
not run for my money.
Of the good qualities of the Velocipede colt I am ignorant.
Parr's mare Ninety-one, as the winner of six races last year,
looks formidable on paper. Old Fama, well known to every
frequenter of Hampton, is sure to run well and honest. The
Glaucus filly I cannot fancy has a chance with the two pre-
ceding mares. Master Stepney and Brush are entitled to
very little confidence. Auld-lang-syne, the last horse ridden
by the notorious Sam Rogers, can run at times; while Per-
kin Warbeck I consider as great an imposter as his name. I

expect nearly all this lot to go, and to see Ninety-one first
and old Fama or Auld-lang-syne second.
To the Surrey and Middlesex Stakes there are sixteen ac-
ceptances—a very fair compliment to the handicapper. Pine-
apple has the top weight, Bst 101 b, assigned him, and will be
found, I imagine, first at the winning-post. Inheritress I do
not imagine will start, in consequence of her being so great
a favourite for the Northumberland Plate. Millipede, Bst 101 b,
• if well, from a remembrance of his running at Chester two
years back, will prove a dangerous animal to stand against.
Misdeal, Bst 31b, if his legs last him, will run well. It should
be recollected that this horse last year won the Queen's Cup
here in a canter, and that his running for the Suffolk Stakes
was vory respectable seeing he beat Alice half a length.
Of the merits of the Mundig gelding lam ignorant. What's
chief recommendation is that with 7st 71b he won last year
the Leicester Stakes, beating Father Mathew, Counsellor,
Ermengardis, Priscilla Tomboy, and Roderick. He is
nicely weighted for this race, having only Bst, and will sure
to be in the front lot at the finish. Cockamaroo, Lydia
Languish, and the Devil-among-the-Tailors, are wanting in
speed to give them a chance of winning. Best Bower has
the handicapper. Elemi
hbeaesnaltroeoadly'-igdhelcyeiNc-eodmhpilsimfernietieiddsbsyo often that no confidence
can be placed in him. Liverman will not be the last in the
race; and the remaining four—Gwalior, Develara, Jewboy,
and Corinthian Tom, I cannot have at any price. In con-
clusion, I shall stand upon the Pine-apple for this race, and
expect to see What, Millipede and Livermau, well up.
The Corinthian Stakes should go to Arcanus. Out of the
lot of platers engaged in the Strawberry Hill Stakes I expect
to see the Star or Freystrop first.

_ .
The Hurst Cup seems booked fur Fama, who, if I mistake
not, has won it before.

For her Majesty's Plate of One Hundred Guineas a large
field will, no doubt, start, and out of that field what can
beat John o'Gaunt I cannot discover. It should be recol-

.
lee( ed atrd'it.tbe First Spring Meeting at Newmarket John
o'Caunt gave Pine-apple 51bs. for the Queen's Plate, and
beat him a length and a half. The Claremont Stakes,
should suppose, will be won by Moose Deer.
