the two thousand guineas.
Tho 97th contost for the Two Thousand Guineas takos plaoo to-day at Newmarket. A groat doal of interest is annually confroci iu the battlo over the Bowloy mile, as it is tho first ovont of “ tho triple crown,. and with tho Fronoh sportsman, M. Edmond Blanc, keen to bring off a liko rooord to that aohiovod by Count Lagrange with Gladiatour 40 years baok, a doal of oxoitcmeat will probably be importod into this year’s groat meo at Newmarket. M Blauo is credited with claiming higbolass colt in Jardy, a son of Flying box and Airs and Graces, and it may bo remarked that ho orossed the Channel at two yoars old and dofoatod tho host JohnBull and family could bring into the field at Newmarket to oontest tho Middle Park Plate. If Jardy is not a olassio race winner he will greatly bolio his brooding, for his sire captured the Two Thousand Guinens, Derby, nnd Sf. Legor, whilo bis dam is inoluded in the list of filhea that landed tho Oaks. The best colt ownod on tho British side, it is thought, is Oioero, a son of Cyllene, but be does not claim an engagement in the Two Thousand Guineas, Lord Rosebery having all his bopoß centred on the Derby.
