marie, The Emperor winning easy, beating Alice Hawthorn, 

 Foig a Ballagh, and Cowl. The racing throughout was of 

 first rate quality. 



Newcastle on Tyne Meeting was in the ascendant this 

 year. The style in which Mentor won the Northern Derby 

 made him a great favourite for the St Leger. Malcolm 

 won the Tyro Stakes in a canter, and secured himself a 

 place in the Derby odds. Inheritress won her two races 

 easily. 



Passing by the Bibury Club, Stockbridn^e, and a host of 

 provincial Meetings, where the racing, although generally 

 good, was but of momentary interest, we come to the New- 

 market July Meeting only to be noticed for its two year 

 old racing. The July Stakes were won by one of Colonel 

 Peel's Slane fillies ; and Lord Chesterfield won the Stakes 

 for which he stands godfather with Free Lance. 



The Liverpool Meeting w^as well attended, and the racing 

 above the average. Luminary carried ofi* the Mersey 

 Stakes from a good field of two year olds. Princess Alice 

 amongst the lot. Lothario won the Tradesmen's Plate, as 

 did Sweetmeat the Derby Handicap. Mentor's race for 

 the St Leger raised him to a higher pomt in the betting 

 for the Doncaster. 



The Goodwood Meeting shone pre-eminently; plenty of 

 company, plenty of money, and plenty of racing. Lady 

 Cecilia just managed to secure the Ham Stakes for Mr 

 Gratwicke. Old England won the Drawing Room Stakes 

 in his usual slovenly manner. The Gratwicke Stakes were 

 booked as a certainty for Merry Monarch, he was beaten 

 by Hersey who ran last for the Oaks. So much for public 

 running as a criterion. Lord George Bentinck won the 

 Cowdray Stakes with Light Killie Krankie. Miss Elis 

 carried off the Goodwood Stakes in splendid style, as she 

 Mke7/i?e did the Cup. Princess Alice won a 200 sovs.
