Perhaps the next race in which we shall hear
of the dOiDgs of PriOress, will be that for the
Corporal on Plat mt Newcastle which was to be
run for on the 30th of last month For this
race there was an immense number Of entries,
as many as ninety-three being weighted at
imposts varying from sixty eight to a hundred
and twenty-four pounds. We fancy, however.
that Mr.. Ten Brock will scarcely let his mare
take so long journey as that to Newcastle
certain straws in the betting seeming to show
that the wind blows in the direction of the G. ood-
wood Cup. On this account, too, we do not
suppose she will go for the Liverpool or Stam-
ford Cups, for which it will be seen, from the
list of her engagements in our Turf Depart
ment, she is entered; but Mr. Ten Broeck will
probably send for the Stewards Plat at Stock
bridge, whicn is a valuable prize and easily
come at. On the 10Th Of this month the famous
Cup Of GOodwoOd will bring into the field all
the most celebrated cOursers on the English
Turf Fisherman, Saunterer, Toxophilite,
Promised Land, bennington, with hosts Of
others; and yet, with no singularly favorable
allowance of weight, PrioresS has been made
hrst favorite in the betting at the comparative
short odds of seven to one. Toxophilite, Lord
Derby's once much-vaunted Derby favorite,
stands next to her, at about point to a point
and half lower. We do not wish to create any
lll-grOunded hopes of our bonny bay mares
chance for the much-coveted Goodwood tropby:
but taking all the circumstances into consider.
alton, we cannot help thinking she was an un
commonly good chance Of placing it on Mr.. Ten
BrOeck's side board yet. We don't feel alb
suTdly excited at the anticipation; but-well.
great many more improbable things have
happened before now. Mr.. Harlan has thrown
In for brace of chances with Cincinnati and
Des Chiles.
We suppose Mr.. Ten Brock viii bring out
Eclipse-if that once well-estimated horse
comes to the post at all-more for the purpose
OF cutting out the work for PIiors5s, than cn
any account of his own. Cincinnati and Wood
burn 10th bear the impost Of 81 pounds IL
pounds better than such crack three-year-olds
as North Lincoln, Promised Land and Mario
nette. The Cup has had strange fortune of
late years in going to the lightly weighted
youngsters, and there is no telling what turn
of luck there may be in the heels Of the Ameri-
can outsiders. WOODBURY., though, we fancy
and possibly Cincinnati, will be pushed to the
utmost for the GOOdwOod St,kes, the weights
for which are out The hnndicapper of this
race has made n difference between them of 9
POUNDS, to the advantage Of Mr.. Ten BrOeck's
colt, and he has already been put forward in
the betting at the long odds of forty to one
A few hundred judiciOusly invested at those
odds, and good opportunity for his feather of
a jockey to hold of, and Mr. Ten Boeck might
win big stake On the last day of GoOdwood
