THE FIELD 
unable to put any pace into his legs. If he .could not mn 
this with 6 st. 8 lbs., he must be good for very 'little. 
Conn d'Etftt is n light, ordinary sort of horse, and lew 
were more surprised than his owner when he saw Steggles 
hearing in his colours in front at the finish. 
Wednesday was a dull day, ns really there were only 
two contests worth looking at. The Craven Handicap has 
bv no means had that success it deserves, and there is no 
great encouragement for “ T. ChullandB, collector,” to send 
out his circular! from the committee of the Newmarket 
Race Fund, “ to inform you that they are making great 
exertion* to increase their funds, being desirous to place 
additional money in the hands of tho Jockey Club for 
their disposal during the ensuing racing season," &c,, if 
the latter waste £200 over this race when £100 would be 
ample. This lavish management is quite inconsistent with 
the system which mulcts every subscriber to the Ccsarc- 
witch of a 2 sovs. entrance fee, and dignifies the aggregate 
with the name of “ 300 sovs. added money” ( !) He that as 
it may, Ephesus won this year in ft canter from end to end, 
and iooked like some mighty giraffe as ho strode in, 
pulling double. Orinoco ran very gamely, hut the weight 
killed him, Bobby Pettit catching him and Determination 
within a stride or two of the post. 
The long-expected I’rincc Arthur made his appearance 
In the Column. Me is a short round-about sort of horse, 
very gaudy about the legs and face, and as like Orlando 
as iic can stare. His off front leg was bandaged, and we 
believe he has a very weak place there. His three oppo- 
nents looked very fit, especially the Kaffir; Miranda was 
bandaged, and Boer lias a nasty weak style of back, which 
docs not improve with age. Wells laid off throughout the 
first part of the race, and won very cleverly when lie did 
go up. As far as wc could see, he bore no traces or his 
Newton smash, beyond a rather swelled nose. Butler was 
out on the Heath on his hack, and seemed in capital 
•pints, but very pale and thin. As a general thing, we 
believe he walks during the winter not much under 10 st.. 
whereas lie looked considerably under 9 st., and we could 
not learn that he had been “wasting," although it was 
quite believed that lie intended to ride next day. 
People seemed hardly to know what to think about 
coming events. A report had been going about that King 
Tom had hit his leg, but perhaps it was only a revival of 
the old suspicion, that one of his off fore-sinews has long 
been m a delicate way. “ Sixteen lbs. to Twinkle” was 
the private measure of his powers which the stable had 
last year, and, independently of the fact, that his old stable 
have never hacked him to speak of, this is only “ a twinkle, 
twinkle, little star," and not a Derby form. Autocrat is 
ns well as ever, and tho eonfidenco of his friends is consi- 
derably-hardening; and it seems, nlso, that the Ostrogoth 
movement means nothing. Ituby is doing his work, and 
we hear it positively affirmed that stables arc engaged for 
him for the First Spring. His friends, in spito of his tem- 
per and lcg.plnistora, which are no myths, arc beginning 
to be very confident nbout him for that event, for which it 
is quite their present intention to run him. Boiardo has 
become quite as “noisy" ns Longbow ; and the remainder of 
the field does not threaten nt present to he very dan- 
gerous. The Hermit, who is n very fine animal, and quite 
dark, is said to be much thought of by his stable for this 
event. 
Newmarket, and not without good guidance, is to a man 
on Acrobat, and “ slack- foiled, ill-trnptred, T Y C’tsh, and 
donkey- footed,” were tha 'epithets they showered on to 
Dervish, after hh'd seen him at exercise. After 
watching him shipped, and regularly fighting with Butler 
for some ten minutes at York Inst year, we can quite 
coincide in the first three epithets; but the latter is to 
us a new feature in his conformation, bad ns wc believe it 
to lie. Entertaining (like ourselves’) these views, they wore 
not a little “ pctrel'acted" when they heard that justice at 
50 to 1 , and to the tune of two or three thousands, hnd 
been dealt out against their favourite in the Booms on 
Tuesday night. For our parts, wo cannot still help think- 
ing that there is a very disguised game going on, and that 
the public will have to smart for their Dervish fancy at 
Inst. At present, the touts cannot make out, for their very 
lives, that the two have boon tried, and probably, till But- 
ler is strong enough to go down to Whitewall, they will 
not he put together except in rough gallops. Rumour de- 
scribes Acrobat ns a magnificent horse, and further de- 
clares that Butler told Lord Derby, when he dismounted 
at Doncaster, that he could hnvo won his race any dis- 
tance, and that if he had luck he must win the Derby. 
However, judging from present appearances, it does not 
seem likely that he will even start. 
West Australian looked well at exercise, but the chnnge 
from his delightful tan gallop at Malton was more than 
his infirm legs could stand, in spite of the doctoring they 
are said to have had ; and the betting on Tuesday night 
pretty strongly indicated that he was not going to try for 
the Port, unless a soaking rain set in. Moreover, Sitting- 
bourne, in his present form, presented more terrors for 
him than lie over did at Newmarket, Epsom, or Doncaster. 
Nine hundred and forty pounds of added money for 
two days is, we should say, “a great fact,” without prece- 
dent in racing annals, and that identical sum is to be run 
for at York this next week. Orestes and Snowdon Dunhill 
are the cracks in the Craven Stakes, for whioh, no doubt, 
Grnpeshot will take a start. Tho Flatterer has only 2lbs. 
extra in the Zetland Stakes, so if ho is still in form, the 
problem seems solved at once. “ Tommy " (sometimes 
called Tom), Horatio, Stiletto, Wild Huntsman, and 
Burrel are nil in the St. Legor, for which Hospodar may 
go, and perhaps Sine Quft Non, on the strength of his 
Newmarket form. Wc liked the Huntsman’s form best of 
the lot last year. Defiance Is in rare trim, but wo do not 
Bee, unless the weather affects her in more ways than one, 
how he will ever have speed to race in with such a striding 
marc as Virago, over the York course, albeit there is only 
a stone between them. Aquila we know nothing of, but 
we believe Argus is right when lie says, “There is not a 
good horse in training on Middleham Moor.” A rest on 
tho East-day will be nil in Flatterer’s favour for the Egliilton 
Stakes (for which Ptolemy is hors de combat), but Barrel 
ought to be very handy. Snowdon Dunhill, Indian 
Warrior, Catherine Parr, Evadne, Catspaw, Comfit, and 
Captain Cornish arc all well in the Londesbro’ Cup, and 
some of them, alongwith Alonzo, arc equally favoured in tho 
Flying Dutchman's Handicap. However, the Cattcrick 
returns must throw some light on the meeting, and Malton, 
in its turn, hinges almost entirely on the Knaycsmirc 
returns. Wc cannot accomplish the feat of jumping into 
the middle or the eud of next week. There arc plenty of 
prophets extant, nil ready to hold up a magic glass to 
“ subscribers,” if tlioy only get ft directed envelope and 
five shillings' worth of postage-stumps, and wc have no 
wish to interfere with tho flower of their prerogative.

Under these eircumatimecs, he advanced in favour until 2 to 1

They started well In line, nnd the work wns cut out by Assault 
gelding, until they were over the New Ground, when Coup d'Etat, 
Veteran, El Dorado, Epnminondns, and Nicotine, showed distinctly in 
front, and the running wns carried on in close company until they 
descended the Bushes-hill, when Nicotine dropped off, evidently quite 
beaten. On leaving the Ablngton Milo Bottom, Veteran took tho 
command, but when half-way between the turn of the lands and (ho 
chair he was deprived of it by Coup d'Etat, who went on, followed 
with Veteran and Bine Qua Non— a good race up tho ropes with the 
three ended in favour of Coup d'Etat by a length, the second beating 
the third by a neck. Two lengths between the third and 4th; El 
Dorado, well up with Epamlnondas, was fifth. Nutpceker and Nico-
