THE HERBY STAKE!.

The betting on the Downs was fiat, and produced little or
change : Priam holds his place, and Little Red Rover, Orion, and
Captain Arthur, are at about 15 to 2 each, the former having the
call. As this Stake engrosses nearly the entite interest of the meet-
ing, it may not be amiss to take a short review of the performance
of the favourites.
PRIAM—This colt was bred by Sir John Shelley, and purcha-sed
at the sale of the Baronet's stud by Mr. Dilly, by whom he was
sold in the October Meetings last year to Mr. W. Chifncy (or
1,500 guineas; he stood then an unusually severe system of train.
ing, was tried to a nicety at which the Chifneys only can attain,
and proved to be a very superior horse. As a matter of course he
came strong into the market for Ri&llesworth, Derby, and St.
Ismer • his running for the former chewed how closely they
had taken his measure; but his rate for the Column Stakes was
not so satisfactory, for he was run into ahead by Augustus (who
had previously run two severe races with Gondolier, and one
of equal severity with Sheidrake, not more than an hour before
the Column Sakai was decided), and was whipped; this run-
ning, therefore, is of a very negative character, unless it be true
as stated that he had a bad start. He is a remarkably fine colt,
but rather " kw," and is not the best starter in the world.
He has been backed to an immense amount for all his engage-
ments, and must be a very dangerous horse to stand against.—
AUGUSTUS has run six races, two of them dead heats ; and the
others, excel)! with Mouse, all to a bead.-.-CAPTALIN ARTHUR beat
Mr. Moreton s Prodigy in a canter, and has not ran either before
or since; his private performances have been undeniable, and large
sums have been laid out upon him ; he js a large, powerful horse,
and has great stride. The party are very fond. BauwswiettEa
ran second for the Champagne Stakes at Dooaster, being amiss at
the time, so that if Roby is good, Brunswicker is not be slighted
if he comes well to the post. He is about the largest and best put
together we have seen of the Figaro get • the Scots think him the
best Derby horse they ever brought from the North.--
The Alt/maga and CErus—They both ran very good. two
year olds, but, like most of the horses in Pettit's stable, went
amiss towards the spring, and have all along been short of work ; but
for this they were both to be dreaded. Sir Mark Wood will do his
best to win, and we have lessons for believing that his expectations
are sanguine. The two cast 4.500 guineas.—Sir Ilaitalr
BEAGLE (Onto) was first tried with Hindostan, and convinced
the King's people that he was a rattler: it was afterwards stated
that he had had a spin with Gondolier (who ran so good a
horse with Augustus, giving Mb.) and beat him. If this be
true, it bring.: him pretty close to Priam. He conics fresh to the
post, but we do not like his blood.--.LITTLE RED ROVES ran
second to Mummer at Ascot, last year, and beat a large field in a
handicap last Craven Meeting, with great case. He is not much
larger than a pony, but possesses great strength and symmetry for
his size.—ZucnattEw and two or three country horses have excel-
lent private characters, and have nothing else to recommend them
to the public. Of the Derby horses generally we think very fa-
vourably; they are certainly superior in breed, appearance, and
public running, to the lot sent to Epsom last year, and we are in-
clined to suspect that there is not much chance for an outsider.
