 We shall be In receipt of full and verbatim report oi thls race, from our special correspond ent, which will be published in our second edition. Meanwhile, we cannot but regard the pulling out of Proress, immediately after Good wood as unwise The mare was notoriouslv unfit and out of condition, when she ran for the Cup. How gamely and we'll she ran, under the most adverse circumstances, is a matter of Turf history. She required rest, and thor. ouShly fresh preparation, which there was no tune to give her between Good wood and Lewes. he race has been lost, and we do not wonder at t. But we have full confidence that, ere long, she and her stable companions will vet vlndlcate the good opinion invested in them on this sldc and confirmed so universally bv the comments of the sporting press on the other. In remarklng on this race, in ad dvance of its per formance "Observer," of Bells Life, says:
 The Sussex County Cup for which most of the best horses in the kingdom are entered. will be the most interesting event of the meet Ing, from the fact of the American mare Prior ess again coming out to do battle for the honor oi the stripes and stars.' Charlton is engaged to ride her, and as the mare must be all the better for the extra preparation she has had since Goodwood, shall expect to see her prove very troublesome customer to Gemma di Vergy, Tournament, or the best English horse that is brought against her
 It will be seen, therefore, that on the mere strength of her unfortunate running at Good wood, Prioress has been rated very highly; and 1t Is not unlikely, unfit as she is that she has beaten Gemma di Vergy, who has been called the best horse of his age in England. We abstain from further remark, until we get the full particulars of the race. The next contest in which our horses is engaged is that for the Chesterfield Handicap, single mile, 22 subscrib- CTS, for which Prioress is entered. We are in- cllned to think that she will start, as one mile is her true distance. A full report of her third trial may therefore be looked for in our next weeks number.
