THE FIELD. 
[Saturday, 
Victorious journojH, »nd won very cleverly under William 
Share's fc-uuJunco ; KUzu helping him a* far as sho could 
with hearty good will. Little Davie looked, as usual, like 
an elegant liitlo bull, and went very short and hud. Florist 
Js ns len"lliy, stout, and useful ns Census; and Buttery does 
not scein likely to he bigger lluui Ids uout Hllle«lre, whom, 
in some points, ho greatly resembles. 
The Trial Stakes created great interest, nod well it might, 
as Orinoco nnd Cobnut were both “ coloured ” on the card. 
However, tbo former 41 five furlong pheasant "was wisely 
kept in his stable, nlih.-ugh lie waa reported utnong the 
arrivals, and Cobnut’s friends have their eye on I ho Chester 
Cup. Orestes, who scorns grown, must Imvo done some 
good Work since Salisbury, or felt in a strangely good hu- 
mour. Wo never liked h : s legs particularly, and his foie- 
1 , and is thut of a hack, bat Ins thighs and nuarter-t arc 
perfection, and ho shone like u looklng-gln; s. Rataplan, on 
the contrary, seemed hardly at concert pitch, nnd much less 
bright in tlio coat than \v« have often Been him. Sill! his 
friends considered the Defiance lino with Orestes m infal- 
lible, that they overdid it completely, and lost no confidence 
when they saw thut Orestes was tormented by no Furies us 
he wended his way to the start. This was, in truth, the 
first “ grout event” of the season. Rataplan rattled away 
from the start with a long easy stride, OroRtes following about 
two lengths behind in his short corky style, end pulling hard 
with Ids hood up in the air. However, Charlton got him 
steadied, ond when ho challenged on the outsido near the 
distance, ho chopped llm chestnut down with the utmost 
ease, and thus <ju|fc cooflrmod thut fancy which the Lord of 
riding like any Christian,” will long be leading matters of 
t in f history. The Drummer nnd The Carpenter were also 
in his lordship's stud, but the Corsair was the last horse by 
which be was known to fame. The style in which he turned 
the 1 8:10 tables with him on to Lord Jersey, ond Ooesar 
three years afterwards, was dashing to a degree, and when 
Bloomsbury mastered him at Ascot, his lordship appealed 
horn “Judge Clark” to a Lancashire special jury. Mr. 
Justice MhuIc presided at the trial, and Mr. Cresswell, with 
Mr. Marlin as his junior, succeeded in defeating Mr. 
Sergeant Wilde, and establishing the right of Bloomsbury to 
the Derby Slakes.

about fourth, till they were in the meadows, whero he "Cut 
to tlm lore, nnd tried the eutting-down principle, which ho 
hnrdly seemed to have i-pred enough to inaniigo, ns live kept 
within a length of each other till a illstnnco uud n-hnlf from 
home. Hi re all wore out of tho luce but two, one of them, 
“ The Count,” whom we hull lust sight of in tho melee, uud it 
was nil thut Tusker could do, by silting down on hishorso, and 
phiim the whipcord, to shako him off in a very grand set- 
to. Neither horses were pricked, and they woto u most 
wondorful contrast. Bourfon, u huge, clumsy-limbod horse, 
with a very light middle, nnd tho other a neat, plump, little 
brown animal, with n stride ubout one-seventh less. To com- 
pare grout things with small, it romiuded us of Chnrles XII. 
jmt outsl riding Knelld over Doncaster. Cionernl Hroezo is 
n liico imrse, uud tho gentleman light-weight had to carry 
plenty of loud to tlrinv lhu8-t 1-lb. 
Tho Warwick running on Wednesday does not call for 
much notice, Cleveland's clover win pretty well confirms 
the truth of tho quotation wo made from Argus hist week, 
that “if ho 'hud hud anything to make running for him in 
the WilfshiiO Stakes, ha, eiBild not Imvo lost.” The race 
also mukes a very bad J»i>r»o of Contentment, nnd u very 
good one ni KihMwoF, comiileiltig his seveio Hnislt the day 
before. His condil imi spoke volumes for Bradley. Border 
Chief, Who is ill tile fit unpagiic, New Stakes, Noi til und 
South’ Biennial, MoltCsfon*, Prince of Wales, uud Great 
Yorkshire Stakes, &c , uddid another wreath to Hio brow of 
Annandule, who cannot fail, t i judge from l lie looks and 
running of his Stp k, in get to the. front rank ill till) list. 
After tho stud fuilmo of Clmvlos X 1 1., Mr. A. Johnstone de- 
serves some luck with this liorso. Tlio colt is by lur tho finest 
and highest-bred two-} ear-old thut has boon out this season. 
There is nothing very noticeable in tho handicap for the 
omersetsliiro Stakes. The Duke of Richmond's £700 pur- 
chase, Rattle (who by tho bye was not put into the sale), 
bus had no great met cy shown him, but I.ucio is nicely 
weighted, if lie has any of his Ascot Stakes running left in 
him. He went amiss, we believe, ufter or rntllQl* before 
Nurtlnimptonlust year, and bus novor shown in public since. 
This meeting promises to ho u very great one lliisyour, und still 
holds its place IIS the first grout reunion for tho seuson of the 
Northern und Southern stables. In the Whlltlobujy Stakes, 
the nppouniuco of the Iwo-your-old Chalice by Orlando out 
of Crucifix, whose stuldo companion Brigliudoro won this 
btuke last yo.ir, is looked for with no little interest. Defiance 
1ms 27 lbs raoro on his back for tbo Stakes tliau lie had last 
year, und a bettor field to meet, — two facts which hardly 
wurrunt 4 to 1, especially when thut price is based on tho 
doings of such a rabbit U3 Orestes. Bonita is on the best 
terms of anything in tho race, if, us sotuo will declare, she 
was not “ meant ” all laVt year. Ptolemy keeps ominously 
out of the quotations, and knowing how very sanguine 
Fobort is, and how utterly “ cabby ” his animal looked last 
year, wo cannot say that we feci much faith in Lnmproclos,or 
“Lamb nnd Pickles,” as the ring has it. Orestes will no 
doubt show for the Triul Stakes again, nnd perhaps en- 
counter Filbert, wlm, we hope, is freshened up by a winter’s 
iert, after his 23 races of lust year. Neither of thorn ought 
lobe able to touch tho Reiver if ho is in form. Chullow 
Bov and t lie Despised ore both in the Alihorp Park, hut 
Buicly a better form can bo found out of their 30 foes, while

and Ilex, ond liuckupolt in the Cup. 
Tho Jockey Club has lost another member In tho Eavl of 
Lichfield, eldest brother of (lonerul Anson, who died lust 
week in his 59ih ycur. Ho hu% however, we believe, taken 
no part in turf mutters since 1841. In 1830 he had fifteen 
horses In training, und his elegant turf livery, black body

MARCH NOTES. 
POIl YOUNG MASTERS AND MANAGERS OF HOUNDS. 
To be very careful in the field as to killing a vixen. 
To see all' the stoppers, and direct them to let in a vixen 
as soon as intimation is given them. 
To look well to the huntsman, and particularly if lie is 
fond of blood, or leaving his place. 
To ascertain what vixens are left in the country, and 
wSrcre they are likely to lay up. 
To look to the keepers and haVe them in good humour, 
particularly where their masters are at all passive. 
To pay for tlie poultry destroyed during the last season, 
particularly where there is danger to the foxes; in such 
cases some exevise should be found for being rather moio 
liberal than in others, in order to keep the aggregate ns 
low as possiblo. This in a late season may be delayed till 
April, according to circumstances. 
To watch carefully which old hounds are worn out, dis- 
tinguishing them carefully from those which are likely to 
bo "useful in cub hunting next season; also to notice the 
younger hounds throughout the kennel, as many may not 
be worth keeping, from various causes. Make as much 
use as you can of these, and save the more promising 
young hounds, as, if the ground should be dry and hard, 
many young hounds are spoilt at this time. 
The young hounds should all be brought in from thei 
walks this month, if not before, and the first draft made s 
ns to go away with the old hounds as soon as possi • 
Great care should bo taken as to this draft, and nllowan 
made for the growth of the later puppies, otherwise tn 
best may be sent oft’. . 
Some' of the bitches will have dropped their pupP ,LS » 
for which suitable lodgings should be prepared; and gic“ 
care should be taken that those in whelp are well led m 
have their liberty, particularly in the last week ot tne 
pregnancy, as, if they are left with others, the pups 
most likely be destroyed. , 
This is a good time for laying in a stock of meal, as 
weather is generally dry,— more so than the two n - 
mouths, — hut anj’ time between this and August is tat P 
ferablc to any other part of the year.
