THE FIELD. 
form and mu nt > it <>f sportsmen, from Cabinet Minister* 
do wnuu i ds, a ml there seemed but oneopinion, viz., that they 
wm-tbi finest lot tliut hud been seen In the boxes for many u 
vrnr. With ono or two exceptions, they were very well- 
yr.nvii, nml if anything too much inftilc up ; one of them, tin 
c ,,lt .1 Alarm out of Oitez, having really a barrel like a prize 
os. W.-, however, obsoi ' etl two or three verysour-headod ones 
among them. Tho sale was attended by several of the lead- 
ing sportsmen, gentle and simple, of tbo day, and old John 
Day was as lively us a cricket — lierc, there, and everywhere 
in the ciowd— and exchanging plenty of sly badinage with 
Mr. Tattersnll. A chestnut coll by The Libtl, dam by Elis, 
was the Hist bronchi out ; but, the sire was not considered « 
very gaum hor-ein bis racing days, and Ids blood has never 
boeonic fY li’onuble. Ilenco lie only felrbod 61) if#. ; while 
n bay colt by ColUngicood out of Alicia by Melbourne 
and sti uiuing* back to l)r. Syntux’s dam, was knocked 
down for 25 gs. Strange that such stout blood should go so 
low, hut the *• Munsli. ld pet ” has his laurels yet to reap 
with his stock, as hoi* now only in Ida fourth season. A bay 
c .It by Alarm , out of Ortcz by Melbourne, then went, 
ulier some very up-hill biddings, which began at 2f> gs., 
for Gd g»., and Mr. Tuttersall forthwith deplored tho hard 
fate of breeders generally. However, when this chapter ol 
lamentations was om r. tho lido biiskly turned, and a very 
line buy colt by liny Middleton out of Despatch by De- 
fence , with the significant nolo “ the same blood ns 
Andover ” appended to his name, began at 50 g>., and wii* 
finally, we believe, knocked down to Captain J,nne for 520 
gs. This was exactly the sum which Mr. 1’adwlck gave at 
(ianeral Anson’s Inst sa/c for Cavalier, the highest priced 
yearling of 18.00 The next lot, u buy colt by Orlando out 
of Frantic's dam, took our fancy more than any of them, u- 
hc was smaller, not so fleshy, and more workmanlike-looking 
altogether. However, we were m a minority on the point, as 
he wad pul in ut 100 gs. and only leached -ISO gs. Ho 
was succeeded by u bay colt by Alarm out of Bolingbroho's 
dam, with size for ever, which was fully appreciated, as in n 
very short space of time the first hid of 200 gs. became 710 
gs. The bystanders began to survey each other with a sort 
of incredulous shrug ; but now that the bidders' blood was up, 
a chestnut colt by Irish Birdeatchtr out of Jamaica 
soon loft 200 gs. fur behind, by the aid of 50 gs. bids; and 
when Mr. Pad wick, dispensing with all nods, had boldly 
said “ ONB thousand GUIN HAS,” and Mr. Tuttcrsull, 
looking round with a sort of serio-comic air, hud 
remarked in a plaintive tone, “ Are you am. done, and 
ONLY OOIKO rOK 1,000 GS., GENTLEMEN?" ill a tone 
which set the yard In a roar, the hammer fell for 
that sum. Mr. Padwlck ulso bid 880 gs. for tho chestnut 
cult by Irish Birdcatclur out of Eulotjy , but not 
choosing to go on , missed him by 10 gs. The fillies 
were then brought out, and u bay filly by Orlando out 
of Distofjina soon sprung from 200 us. to 600 gs.; and then 
Mr. Pnrinick was again the successful bidder, at 000 gs., for 
a hay filly by Bay Middleton out of Stamp. After her a 
chestnut Jilly by Orlando out of Iodines dam, very closely 
related to Teddington on hot It sides, and uncommonly 
like him in her forehand and colour, was bought 
(so wo were informed) by Mr. Arnold for 400 gs. 
A brown sister to Exact then went for 50 gs. less. 
William Day made a lust 185 gs. bid for a buy filly 
by The. Libel out of Manacle; and then a bay Ji/ly 
by Orlando out of Flight , which fetched 155 gs., Wus 
the whipper-in. It was snid that Captain Lane had 
bought more tliun one of tbo above, but lie did not bid in 
person. Tho winnings of Ppuminondos and Virago have, 
it seems, not been without their effect. Such a phenomenon 
ne'er occurred before us that two colts by one sire (Irii.fi 
Birdcutcber) should have averaged 945gs. in one day, and 
yet this horse’s stock have been working no wonders since 
1852, though this may bo in a measure owing to flic fact, 
tliut he spent one or two seasons in Ireland between 1850-58, 
and had therefore very liitle chance given hint. Owing to 
this, only one of his stock is in next year’s Derby. Perhaps 
those fourteen may meet with u different fme; but wo have 
always u supeislition that high-priced yourliugsnro unlucky. 
Hernandez certainly fetched 500 gs., and paid Ids new 
owner over and over ngnin ; while Snowstorm, who was a 
750 gs. yearling, did so by one lucky handicap. Virago, 
too, if our memory serves us, was knocked down to old John 
Day for 480 gs. in front of tbo Salutation ; but ns u general 
thing, great winners have either been trained by their 
breeders, or runUed among tho lower-priced horses. So 
much for this over ineinoiuhle sale, which must prove “a 
heavy blow and great discourugeinem” to those who see 
that racing decline* daily, and will make 1854 an “Annus 
inirahiho” in the archives of Tuttersnll’s to all time. None 
of them had uny engagements, but they will no doubt bo 
one anil all In the Derby and Oaks of I85C before they are 
a fortnight older. It seems very doubtful policy in the 
Doncaster people to close their St. Leger so soon as they 
do; as not only do breeders and owners dislike an extra six 
months’ responsibility, but the three stakes ought if possible 
to be kept together, und close on tho samo day. 
The Ascot Meeting is generally allowed to have been a 
fair average, but the absence of Acrobat on tho first day, of 
Sitting b»urn« (who would have had 51b allowed in the 
Triennial) on the second, and of Stockwell and Virago on 
the lliiid, lather took the file outof if. The handicapping, 
iu several iimtuiico*, was very excellent, but some of the 
stakes have too much of the Newmarket leaven iu them to 
bring out many starters. The Cup ruce, however, made up 
for all shoit comings, though the pace was paltry as com- 
pand with last year. There is no doubt tliut Kingston wus 
made far too much use of in the Stake?, but we have a strong 
impression tliut Job Matson was too much tied down by 
waiting oideis in the Cup, uud that if he had been allowed 
to bring along West Australian more severely in the lu»t 
three-quarters <A « niile, ho might never have been quite 
readied. Tliut West Australian wus up to the mark we 
cannot believe; uud if there bud been no ruin during tiro 
wesk we doubt very much whether lie would have been •con 
on ilie ground at all. His remaining engagements tiro, 
the Newmarket Triennial, und the Ucntlnek Memorial, 80U 
rovs Stakes, and Cup ut Goodwood ; but iu the tin oe flist 
( u n 1 / s l’elion takes a new lerwo) lie lias "nofocman worthy 
of In steel.” In the latter he hue to give 71bs to Stockwell 
( who ha*, .however, becomo a very doubtful subject), and 
31)' sto Virago, who, with health, ought again to finish iu 
FIE<E2) |f<f every tiling there. 
' ir as looks go, Border Chief was quite the don among 
“'. t two. year-olds, and woo be to lJonnlo Morn If ho 
[m for the Champagne at Doncaster. Tho con- 
iii which i-'luttern is treated in tho Derby betting 
Icurions fact, und it Arises from the inveterate dis- 
•h the ring entertain to backing u horse that is 
TtSSsW 
not in a fashionable stable, and whose constant steersman 
graduated as a hurdle-race rider. As regards belting in 
public-house*, where neither tho landlord nor any one else 
receives deposits, It is impossible to soo bow Mr. .furdino 
can in Muubcy’s ca-c resist the argument of Mr. Huddleston 
us to its complete legality uud> r tho new uct. Tile only 
passible way in which it strikes us that the law would 
touch them, would bo if any mini was called upon “to 
cover” iu the presence of a policeman or a professional in- 
former. Tliis would he straining tho net pretty severely, as 
the system of one person keeping a bank against all 
comers was really the solo evil aimed at by the Attorney - 
General ; and luckily, as we believe, for tho comfort of thou- 
sands of families, he lias cut it up root and branch. Persons 
who want to stuko small amounts find it Immensely difficult 
to do 60 now, and it is very well that it is so, as the betting- 
house system wus fust inducing a feverish feeling among 
certain classes which was quite ns deadly as tho lottery 
mania, and sinking “ the noblest pastime of them all” into 
utter disrepute. 
There will ho no lack of racing speculation during tho 
work, as Carlisle, Ludlow, and Beverley in the North, and 
Winchester, llilniiy, and Stockbrldgc in tho South, ull hold 
their carnivals. It the great Dr. Hliinbor takes his vales 
abroad this summer vacation bo would lind that tho Cum- 
brians approach more nearly Ilian any others to liis“ ancient 
Homans,” ns they Imvo settled not to begin their races till 
half-past 3, in order to give the wrestlers plenty of time. 
Cleveland at G-t 8 lbs., is very “ well iu ” in tlielr Cumber- 
land Plate ; and equally so in the origlnul Hampshire Stakes. 
Beverley Inis a nice Hal, with five laces one day, and six the 
oilier; among which the Bishop Bourton Stakes lias a litre 
entry, und as I.ouvul has a 51b and Lord Allred a 71b pen- 
alty, some ol tho other 23 ought to furnish the winner. 
Rotherham, by Touchstone out of Howenu, who wus pur- 
chased for u high price at Doncaster, is one of tho host bred 
of tho lot. Facingroundsouih, we have two wonderfully plea- 
sant days cut out over Stockhridge course, on YY'edno-day and 
Thursday, under the auspices of John Day, who figures in 
bcarlot asCleik of the Course, us “Old John ” did before 
him. Tho Champagne Stakes and the 50sovs, li ft, urn the only 
“ legitimate ” ones yet entered for on the first day ; and as 
Autocrat is all safe, tho latter is a complete toss up among 
the six fillies. In the former, Oulston has 8lhs extra, and 
wc fancy that John Day ought to bo able to bring some- 
thing out of bis stable to win it. The Stockbridgo 
meeting is far away tbo bcBt one-dny meeting we have ; 
mid last year it produced seven racos and two 
matches. The four-year-old Triennial seems left to Cobnut; 
Cincus und Contentnioiit, each with 31b ullowod, being 
his only opponents, with I lie slightest chance of going 
2.J miles. The threo-year-old Triennial may give a good 
fillip to tho St. Leger betting, as Andover (who, ns wc said 
last week, is being doctored for curbs) is out of it, und 
Scythian, Bribery, Bracken, Champagne, Marsyos, and 
Ivan (31l») are in it. Wo do not take much hood of Ivan 
having extended Virago at York, as tho mate had met with 
au accident ; but receiving 181bs for bis year lie made such 
uu example ol Vanderdccken, who was in good form at the 
time, Hint lie must bo greatly improved since last year. 
Still os Mursy as ran 60 forward in the Derby after n very 
slight preparation, ue should fancy that ho could just heat 
him for this. Eitlirr Grtcculus Esuncns (31b) or Bonnie 
Morn ought to have the Two-year-old Triennial ; and Border 
Chief, albeit he lias to carry 51b exti a, should be cquully 
fortunatc with the Mottisfont. Unless Torment suddenly 
emerges like a giantess refreshed from her retirement, the 
Stewards’ Plato seems to lie between The Hermit 7st 31b, 
Rataplan 8st 11 lbs, and Little Hurry SatTUbs. Rataplan 
thus meets The Hermit on Gibs better terms than ho did at 
Ascot. The Winchester running is too much dependent on 
tliut of tho two preceding days to hazard much opinion 
on, hut Dilly’s stable ought to get the Triennial with Bribery 
or Boer ; while Bessie, even with 7Ibs extra, hae nothing 
that we know of to foar in tho Grango Park Stokos, except 
it ho her Hampton victor, Titormus. Mures, however, are 
so uncertain ut this time of the year, tliut it is impossible 
to follow their running, und Bessie lias quite shown herself 
one of the uncertain ones. 
Beyond tho race between these two, in which Tilormus, 
both in look and appearance quito bore out the very favour- 
able opinion wo expressed of him at Northampton ; there 
was nothing of importance to remark on, in the Hampton 
meeting. Exact, certainly, shone out more brilliuntly than 
she lias done since her two-year old days, but temper is her 
banc. The two-year old running at Newcastle, quito veri- 
fied the truth of our last weeks observation, tliut “ Sara- 
band bad not done ull lie knew," while King Allred seems 
in need of a lit tlo temporary retirement from tho toils of the 
season. Kingston, Typeo, and Grape-shot, were the only 
ones we relied on to finish in tho front rank for tho Nor- 
thumberland Plate, and Kingston's running was us good as 
could be expected after the two severe races the week before 
Graposhot’s temper is so fitful that it is difficult to say much 
on their relative running, except that Kingston was as near 
him at Newcastle, when bo gave him 251bs., ns he wus at 
Ascot, when, being comparatively fresh to boot, ho only 
gave him 18lbs. It appears that Messrs. Morris and 
Stubbing nro deopljr dissatisfied with tho way in which lie 
was ridden at Ascot, and tliut their “yellow jacket and 
white cup,” will, most probably, be in Job Matson’s keeping 
for tho future. The stable bus had very ill luck so far this 
season, running close up for three of tho great handicaps of 
the year. However, they are quite of the “ never say die 
school," and Kingston will no{doubt retire to the Ilumbled- 
on-Wolds for tlireo weeks, and como forth boldly again with 
8st 121bs, for the Liverpool Cup. 
TATTEIISALL’8.— Monday. 
There was a full attendance throughout the afternoon, and, consider- 
ing nil tlic untoward clrcumstnuces which have, for sonio time past, 
troubled ” tho course of speculation, tho settling of tho Ascot events
