THURSDAY, MAY 19.—There was an enormous attendance
to-day, the crowd being greater than has ever been before wit-
nessed on any provincial race course. At the conclusion of
the cup race, the assembled multitude cheered vociferously for
the success of Lye, the rider of Chief Justice, who has always
been a great favourite with the Manchester people.

two failures an excellent start was effected, Terpsichore having
a slight lead. At the top turn Indian Warrior came into colli-
sion with two men, who were knocked down, and the horse's
chance thereby extinguished. At the far side Birdon the Wing
and Haricot headed Terpsichore, and remained in front until
half a mile from home, when Ethelwolf took up the running,
with Haricot, Talfourd, and Lady Evelyn in attendance, Chief
Justice joined them on reaching the straight running, and on
reaching the distance Talfourd and Ethelwolf retired, Haricot,
Lady Evelyn, and Chief Justice racing home together, and,
after an exciting contest, the latter won by half a length. An
objection to Chief Justice, on the ground that his nomination
had not been received at the proper time, was afterwards
withdrawn.

THE DERBY AND OAKS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

Six.—The time has at length arrived when, after having re-
considered and re-analysed my several initiatory remarks, pre-
paratory to having re-assembled all racing facts of the latest
eduction, to resume the subject of the " blue riband," I
must place the result of all my Epsom undertakings before my
readers, all of whom I hope to satisfy by commenting upon
every probable starter, who may be said to possess the slightest
shadow of a chance of carrying off the palm to-morrow ; at the
same time being as laconic as, under the circumstances, I well
can be. _ . _ .

___
I shall first submit to their notice as plenary an account as
it is possible to give, of the probable starters and riders, and,
at the same time, begging to assure them that I, like others
on this predicamental point, should have been now " mum,"
were I unable to say that the information was not well
founded : and no complete list having as yet appeared in any
sporting print, I take it that this, at least, may prove acceptable.
List of probable starters for to-morrow's Derby, to which is
appended the names of the trainers and probable riders;—
Horse. Trainer. Rider.

Pharos, a Derby horse all over, is of the Touchstone progeny.
I learn that he has very lately been tried with Chief Baron
Nicholson, (i.e. soon after that horse's return from Newmarket,
where, it will be remembered, he gave considerable weight and
ran a dead heat with Nutshell,) an so satisfactorily as to make
Kent —who also trains for Lord H. Lennox's brother (the Earl
of March), as also for the present Master of the Buckhounds,—
as sanguine of winning this as he ever was of winning a race
for the good old duke, and, despite the reputation of others, he
has no fear. Pharos has always hitherto had my support. and
I am sure I shall not discard him in the eleventh hour, when I
know his condition to be so super, and that Nat has never be-
fore landed a horse first for this great event.
Sittingbourne.—Wherever in the race the favourite figures,
this horse is sure to be by his side; but whether or not he can
beat him (the former having somewhat improved upon his 2000
form) were both to be matched to-day, for the same distance,
and on the same course, is for the consideration of your
readers and respectfully submitted. For my part, I think it
would lie a toss up, but there still exists various critical opinions
as to how he won at Newmarket, but I deem this to be the
most correct version : the horse did not win easily, for not
only had he but also his jock their work to do, and it is not un-
likely that, had the distance but been extended another half
mile, he would not have won at all.
Filbert cannot possess any pretensions. when we look to his
late caperings ; he is, however, better than Cobnut, who, if he
(the latter) should prove a poster, cannot do more than render
the former a very meagre assistance.
Umbriel's chance we have now to consider; lie, like Pharos,
is another Derby horse in toto, has never yet been off it, but has
gone on improving daily. His noble owner, who is indeed
sanguine, showed them at Manchester how easily he could win
his two races with Longbow, carrying the top weight in each,
and winning, from no mean fields, his races easily. Let Tern-
pleman's luck but carry him to the Downs, and Lord Derby,
and myself, will each, I warrant, be perfectly satisfied ; the
above performances of Longbow go more to convince me in my
former expressed opinion, that he is the best horse of his year
for his distance.
Vanderdecken.—All, I think, remember this horse as a two-
yr-old, when he appeared in form so imperfect, and ran so ill,
and on this account (I know not on what other) people will not
entertain him now ; that this horse may yet turn out equal to
the Dutchman is my decided asseveration, and it is hardly ex-
pected that an unmatured two-yr-old like he was last year can
he successful at that age; last year's mystery with respect to
him was simply this,—that he carried upon two-yr-old legs a
three-yr-old body, and though, I think, be is not likely to show
off much before next year. I certainly fully expect he will run
forward, and should not be surprised if lie accomplished still
more, Marli pay words' he is ti good outsider.

MARKETS.

MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES.

MANCHESTER.—As usual the festivities of Whit-week have
interrupted the course of business, and since Tuesday there
has been little or nothing done. The firmness which then
existed has continued, and prices bear an upward tendency.
Yarns of all descriptions are in good request at very full prices.
36 and 34-inch shirtings are saleable at a slight advance upon
last week's prices, and other descriptions fully maintain their
position. Domestics, T cloths, and longcloths are rather more
inquired for and ready of sale at a small advance.
ROCHDALE.—The flannel market has not been quite so briA
this week. Wool quiet, The London wool sales have, had
their influence iu deterring time trQl purchasing.
