very little money the two faVorites, and doubt
very much if the stable have backed Birmingham.

back an animal is in an instant surrounded by

horses for small sums, 1T il clear by the time the
race Is run it will have lost none OF its attraction
In the eyes Of the public.
s.Esop, 81 writing in the London Globe Of the 18th
nit remarks Cramond, Sir William and Lam
chester have also an upward tendency. For the
Chester Cup the American colt Satellite has sup
planted Longrange in the premiership; SO that
the United States are now in position to boast Of
having their impertations first faFerites for the
greatest race and the greatest handicap in the
world. Satellite ID stated to have well in the
United States and in fact was the best three year
old they had IN the country. Consequently, with
such weight as Mr.. Topham has given him, he
must be q very dangerous opponent, for ii would
take clipping youngster to beat him, provided
the Improvement he makes is such as might be
anticipated. His running at Liverpool should
put down for nothing, as he was only sent there to
accustom him to crowd. Neither this horse nor
Umpire, nor any Of Air. TenBroeck's team, are to
be put into strong work until after the arrival Of
that gentleman il England, which will be the first
week in the ensuing month.

LUPELLus, THE ANTAGONIST or UMPIRE.
Impetus, who has recently come into such favor
for both the two thousand guineas and Derby, was
foaled at Mr.. Halford's, in Worcestershire, who
hired Loup Garou the sire Of Lupelius, for f300,
after he left Hampton court. Mr.. Halford cnnsid-
cred him dear bargain; but he had ten Yearlings
BY him, for three Of which he was offered GI000
Lupellns himself belongedto solicitor at Vantage,
who thought SO highly Of him that he put 1000
gnneas on his head, and offered him at that price
to Sir Joseph Hawley, John Day and John Scott in
turn, but without success. The latter had heard Of
him. and sent Maxwell down to see him. That
wellknoWn Lincolnshire authority liked him, but,
of course, sent John Scott word about his splint,
and advised him to ask the price, which was the
aforesaid "ehoker, y and the matter dropped. When
these negotiations failed, Mr.. Parr made much
smaller offer but with three contingencies of flG0
each for Lupellus' three first wins, every one of
which came of. His brother was also purchased
by Mr.. Parr, and Is a brown, with beautiful well
knit back, but not SO varmint in his style as Lu-
pellus.
