DERVISH.

I believe, further, he will achieve the same with compara-
tive ease, as I believe him to be at least a seven pound
better horse than any other in the race. As there are
generally fonr placed in a Derby, I may as well add which
are the three next uppermost in my estimation ;—they are
the Knight of St. George, Andover, and Hospodar ; and
with these exceptions, and one'or two more, I fancy the
rest will finish far between."
Dervish, by Cowl out of Duchess of Kent, is a fine bay,
compactly built, possessed of great speed, and immense
power ; has splendid action,.a perfect head and neck, good
shoulders, and fine legs ; in short, to use a stable term,
"well put together." He has trained kindly during the
whole winter ; has never, I understand, been " off," and is
considered a two-years' better horse than he was last year,
when, as a two-year-old, he started four times, winning
with consummate ease at Epsom, York, and Newmarket,
where he beat in all 18 others,—the only miss he bad
being at Goodwood : when oat of sorts he was beaten by
Autocrat. He is the property of the Earl of Derby, who
also owns METEORA,
and she, I expect, will win the Oaks on Friday.—Yours,
Ake., BEES WING.
