["The Eclipse Stakes of 10,000 sovs., to be run at Sandown
Park on Friday, July 14, is looked upon as practically a match
between Baron DE HIRSCH'S filly, _La Fleche_, and the Duke
of WESTMINSTER'S colt, _Orme_."--_Illustrated Sporting and
Dramatic News._]
The match between Eton and Harrow at Lord's
This week, which commences on Friday,
Because of the sport that it always affords,
Will draw a large crowd on that high-day.
But the interest taken in drive, cut, or catch,
Or as to which school will be beaten,
Will be nothing to that in the other great match,
The same day, 'tween The Arrow and Eaton.
