| The American horses in England. Will posi-
lively run this week. Mr. Sanford, Their owner, 1
has gone over to sec them compete at Good
! wood and Brighton, and Charley Littleflcld,
their trainer, is quite satisfied with their con
dition. Runlor hints tlmt the two old horses,
| Mate and Preakness, have been we'll tried
through the line obtained through the running
| of Bay Final and Mate at EPSON in the spring,
and that the verdict is very satisfactory to those
who control the dark-blue. Mate carries LIZ
| pounds for the Goodwood stakess on Tuesday,
and will be ridden By F. Archer, the most fash
| most fortunate riders. The English betting
| men consider the horses chances pretty good,
and have backed him at from 10 to Il to l,
making him third fayorite. Perhaps the dis
tanec is shade on the long side, though when
it is remembered that Mate has run and won in
tremendous time at 2 and 2116 miles, there is
good reason for believing that he can live
it out. Prcakness will start for the Goodwool
Cup, 215 miles, OIL "Wednesday, when he has the
advantage Of an allowance of seven pounds for

distance aud is quite up to his weight. Last
year he ran dead heat with Spriugbuk for the
Saratoga Cup, e4 mi!es, in 3;56H, wiping out
aud Longfellow. AS private and public a.1viccs
both represent the old horse as doing well, it is
not surprising tllat he is backed in England at
to !, the price that is laid against the other
fayoritc, Louise Victoria. Next week the
American horses will run at Brighton, Mate and
Bay Final being entered for the sta1esp1M
miles, and Prcakncss for the cup, about miles.
In addition to his entries for the Derby and
Oaks Of 1877, Mr.. Sanford has bought and en-
tered four ycarlings for the great events Of 1875
SO that it is likely he will remain Oh the English
turf for some years to come.
