Angleseys Horses.
LONDON, June 20, 1872
Nowhere in Britain is there q more sporting race
Of people than inhabitants Of the valleys Of the
Tyne and Wear, in the North OF England. En-
gagea principally In coal mining, they are coarse In
their manners, utterly iliterate and wholly given
up in their leisure to drink and sport. The great
day Of the whole year is that on which the Northum-
berland Pate-"r Coop" as they call it's run for
at Newcastle; but the attendance oil three days
OF the meeting is enormous, and the interest taken
in the racing not surpassed on any track
In England The Plate however, has to
the rest of the world long been decreas-
ing In interest," and fs now run Tor
almost solely by local horses. The town is 30 far
from the neighborhood of the southern stables that
owners who train in these latter seldom care to
undergo the trouble and expense Of sending their
horses on so long Journey The Plate has also
been the medium for many years OF such chicanery
and trickery that few Of best sportsmen care to
meddle with 1t. 1t is probable therefore, that the
race will decline until only animals from the sta
bles close by will contend in It, and the interest in
it win be confined solely to the local population.
On this occasion the favorite was found in Mr.
Merry's Strasburg, who came nearly four hun
dred miles to do battle for prize
at which his master has always aimed
but the party were by no means sangune Of sue
cess, and the horse is at best only moderate. BY
far the best Of the competitors was Don Carlos who
was sent all the way with Miss Hervine from Chan
ttlly the Newmarket Of France, and yet both suf
fered defeat twice at the meeting, not winning q
shilling towards their expenses. King Cole has
always had the reputation Of being horse of great
stamina but he is getting remarkably Slow and
| 1t Is very long indeed since he has won race.

THE sTOCKBRiDGE MEETING
held at the same time, on the Hampshire downs, In
the far south Of England, is as different in all its
aspects from that at Newcastle as day Is from night
lures of the year. there is no 'public attendance,
and tho onookers are nearly all connected with
the turf 1t was an important affair in the days OF
Lord George Bentinck, the greatest turman we ever
had, and in those OF the late Lord Hastings, who
did much for 1t, as did also the Duke OF Beau
fort, the horses OF both being trained at Danebury,
in the immediate neighbOrhood. The meeting Is
now however, declining and even the cup attracts
but little attention, though on this occasion 1t
brought out Derby winner, Kingcraft, who once
more proved himself soit-hearted brute.

THE SALE OF LORD ANGLEsEy's HORSES
in training took place yesterday at Stockbrdge, his
ordship retiring from the turf because he has not
money to continue the connection. 1t may be re-
membered that some months ago he was sued by
the executors OF Lord Hastings for sum oil f50O,
which late lordship had lent him. Lord Angle
sey swore, however, that 1t was gift, and there
being no proof to the contrary, he won the cause.
This sale realized very handsome sum, no less
than L. $40 guineas, or about $4,000 Ihe highest
