LIVERPOOL JULY MEETING.

These races commence on Wednesday first, with a fair
promise to satisfy, if not even to satiate, the greatest lover
of the turf. The first day includes six races and a match.
For the Croxteth Stakes, I have not the names of the
horses entered. The Produce Stakes of 50 Sovs. each,
will in all probability become the property of Mr. Mostyn.
The Sefton Snakes to Mr. St. Paul's colt by Inheritor.
The Bickerstaff Stakes, Col. Anson will make safe with
Ingo. The Mersey Stakes, the most interesting race of
the day, is for the Maid of Motherwell, or Mr. Worthing-
ton's ch f by The Provost. _ _

Thursday, the Cup day, will be the attraction of the
week, and, so far as I can learn, will prove a bumper,
both as regards racing and quantity of people present.
The elite of the racing world are expected to be there,
and the commoners, I am sure, will add their mite to
swell the number. The favourite still keeps the lead,
and more firm and eager are her supporters than ever to
get on at 2to 1. She was expected here last night, and I
presume that this morning when she stows she will be at
less price still.
Satyr is also in great demand, and will in all probability
keep about second favourite. Yardley is st ill muc

quired after, and will yet see a bet'er day. Inheritress
keeps improving; Lightning is also on the rise. Intre-
pidity is to win by the accounts received by " tip" from
the stables early this morning; and takers are eager to get
at the price quoted. Rowena and Lord Saltbun, both nut
of Dawson's stable, are in s, me demand. Highwayman
has also friends. Little Hampton is well in, and will
do some wonders this time, if the stable be not di eeived.
The Roner's Daughter may run ; but not to any advan-
tage. For backers Polish is looking well and going well,
but I cannot have any faith in his chance, after Chester.
The Conjuror, My Mary, As-you•like•it, Mongrel, Robin
Burns, Cr inebrooke, and from Best Bower downwards,
can have no earthly chance although all have been backed,
less or more, by their friends—l think only to lose.
Plaudit must not be forgotten. The stable is in the vein,
and she may prove very dangerous. Hero, should he
come, I am told will prove the best of Day's lot.
flaying gone through the whole of the horses engaged in
the race, I shall venture to select three, f, om which I
think my friends will be able to select the winner. Light-
ning, Highwayman, and Yardley, are my pick. The
Derby Handicap is rather a difficult job to analyse. I
durst venture to risk one or two soya. on Lady Wildair
with Chertsey, coupled. The Foal Stakes I assign to the
care of Ramsey's Inglewood ; the Free Handicap to the
Premier or Tour-de-force._ _ _ _

Friday wilt wind up the list of the week, and little less
interesting will the Leger prove than the Cup, as it always
acts as something like a key to the Leger at Doncaster.
The lot are of first-rate metal; and some of them have
proved that they can race. It is hardly worth while to
comment upon the various qualities of those who have
already appeared in public, when we are so near the day
of the race, as every one can have the chance of seeing
and judging for themselves, if they will only start
out to the course by the hour of five in the morning,
at which time, or soon after, they may be seen taking their
morning exercise. I cannot say, with any degree of con-
fidence, that in this case I shall be able to pick the winner,
yet Poynton, Dolo, or Brother to Sir Henry will be about
it. The remaining stakes I shall leave alone. The Brn-
tinek Testimonial will not have weights attached to it
until the night before the race or I should have been glad
to have had a night walk through its various competitor's
chances.
