at the attendance of fashionable' and sporting Gentlemen will

is indeed wry problematical. The greatest anxiety estate on

Go the soya principle of public running, are desirous that the fa-

already noticed the following distinguished personages:—Duke of

of the Turf) and Lady, Marquis of Blandford, Earl Jersey, Earl

Calypso, Hampden, &c. &c. Judging from their appearance, we
should say that they are all in excellent condition for the Post.—
There are DOW between 3 and 40U horses in training here, of much
better qualities and in better health than those of List year at this
redid. The turf is in admit able order, and the weather favourable.
13nrotc.—From the uncertainty which has prevailed as to which
el Lord Jereej's will start to-morrow, or whether neither or both,
the betting on the ltiddleoworth has been rather duU till the last day
or two. Frost the circumstance of klameluke, however, being
placed at evens with Glenartney, we should infer that both will
appear is that Sakes; Cressida and Shoveler, who have been
