THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

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 ix races and a match.
For the Croxteth Stakes, I have nut the names of the
horses entered. The Produce Stakes of 50 Sovs. each,
will in all pi obahility become the property of Mr. Most yn.
The Sefton Stakes to Mr. St. Paul's colt by Inheritor.
The Bickerstaff Stakes, Col. Anson will make sate with
Into. The Mersey Stakes. the most inte,est,og ce of
the day. is for the Maid of Motherwell, or 111 r. Worthing-
ton's ch f by The Provost.
Thursday, the Cup day, will he the attraction of the
week, and, so far as I can learn, will prove a bumper,
both as regards racing and quintlty of peopl:! present.
The elite of the racing world are expected to be there,
and the commoners, 1 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 h--re last night, and I

presume thlt this morning when she stows she will be at

leis price sti

Safer is also in great demand, and will in all probability
keep about second favourite. Yardley is still much in-
quired after, and will yet see a b,t er thy. Inlieritres.s
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 gq
at the pric«. quoted. Rowena and UP(' Saltoun, both out
of Daw•son's stable, are in sme demand. Highwayman

has also friends. Little Hampton is well in, and will
do some wonders this time, if the stable be not dteeivecl.
The Rover's Daughter may run ; but not to anv advan-
tage. For backers Polish is looking well and going well,
but 1 cannot have any faith in his chance, after Chester.
The Conjuror, My M try, As-you- like•it, Mongrel, Robin
Burns, Cr tnehntoke. anti front Best Bower downwards,
can have no earthly chance although all have been backed,
Icss or mare, by thtir friends-1 think only to lose.
l'laudit trust not be forgotten. The sable is in the vein,
and she nay prove very dangerous. Hero, should he
come. 1 am told wi:l prove the best if Day's lot.

Having cone through the whole of the horses engaged in
the race, I shall verit,ire to select three, fiom which I
think my friends will be able tvielect the winner. Light.
fling, Highwoyman, and :1 dley, are toy p'ck. The
Derby Handiaap is rafter a diffit:ult job to analyse.
durst venture to risk on or two snvs. on Lady 'Wildair
with Cherisey, coupled. The Foal Stakes I assign to the
care of Ramsey's Inglewood' the Free Handicap to the
Premier or Tour-de-force.

the Cup, a 4 it always
arts as something like a key to the Leger at Dincaster.
The lot are of first-rase metal; and some of them have
proved that they ran race.lt is hardly worth while to
comment upon the various qualities of those who have
already appeared in public, wh-n 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 exelcise. I cannot say, with any degree of con-
fidence, that in this case I shall be ah'e to pick the winner.
yet Povnton, Dolo, or Brother to Sir Henry will he about
it. The remaining stakes I shall leave alone. The Ben-
tinck Testimonial will not have weights attached to it
until the night before the race or I should have been glad
to have had a niakt walk through its various competitor's
chances.
