Stn,—The l4rst October Meeting just cancludooll
—if we did not haves) raany 1.0444.1 We °maestri aeon the last
anniversary, when so many matches cams off that there
were thirty-uine actual races, against thirty decided last
week—undoubtedly maiutaimed the ',nano it has gained
for itself since the introduction of the Dint Hasten and
October Handicaps into the programme, the fields re-
presenting a good average, and many of the items 4i:cities a
vast amount of interest. There were altogether thirteen coo.
tests between 2-yrolds, and the eleven manors fur the
It.ireful included a trio who had never been seen out before
J upon, and Bengali—ma all that are engaged
in the Derby of them, while among their opporien;a were
Fille de erythema Lady Hylda, and Breese, loather of
whom could lower the colours of Lord Stanford's pretty
Vanillas, a filly by Orlando, out of Imaus's dam, who
fetched the highest price of her Majesty's yearlings last
arson, and brought hack Inure than her purchase money (60)
grow). She won by downright gameness, although the
performance wee 'mutilate but a brilliant one when Tom-
foolery was beaten a bead. Fille de l'Air appeared to
have recovered from her two severe bouts at Doncaster, but
had not soape of ground (enough for a display of her good
qualities, the position she obtained, under the circumstances,
shutting Yuman, as well as Jupon and Baragah, out of the
Derby. Cambusoan's performance with Durham in the
Croon* Stakes would have made hint decidedly first fa.
vonrite for the Derby but that he looks so difficult a hone
to train, as he was quite out of condition, and made
such an example of Durham, that he is not likely to
troublethe manilla again for the Derby. He figured eves
worse in the Granby on Wednesday, won by Unios dna,
who also gave Linda a beating, that made Ely's Meet
of her fur the Champagne at Doncaater nothing to feel
surprised at, for she is evidently a rank jade, sod would not
struggle a yard with the Irish-bred colt, who will, however, '
=
peos: good match for anything of his year that he may
to meet in future. Thus Ely beat Tomato in the
Sixteenth Triennial on Thursday just as far as he was
entitled to do, and there is *very moot to believe Coma
Guard is the superior of the two, although Ely was
not justified in being bastes so far by the latter
at Doncaster. Eyehole' head was turned the wrong
waus= the Bog dropped, and seeing that her
a psalm, Tomato, ran Ely to a head,
her Meads have good reason to feel chagrined at the dia-
appointraeot, for it is only fair to suppose, looking at their
relative positions in the betting. she should have won. The
vast improvement displayed by Aoolyte warmly_ justified
his easy defeat for the Rutland of • Derby horse like Clare-
mont, who must have been "all wrong," to figure so in-
gloriously, after beating Apennine, King George, dm., at
York. The triumphs of Fille de l'Air and Midnight Mar
on Friday, with the results of the minor two-year-old events,
were only whet had been generally expected beforehand,
and supplied no incident worthy of note.
The three end tour-year-old nom brought out several
Cesanowitch and Cambridgeshire cracks, and Fantail woe the
Grand Duke Michael Stakes so very eerily that she was
booked a formidable candidate for both events. And yet
her performance was no better than that of Harrigan* in
the Fourteenth Triennial, taking into consideration the
mare was run against by both Beckenham and Harlequia
in the last two hundred yards, and that Aldcroft wee not
able to ridsherhome through the latter hanging upon Me
all the way up. Neither she our Back/ohm are done with
as yet for the Ceasrewitcb, in my opinion, and the sp.
patently moderate lot opposed to the pair may not comprise
more than one or two with pretensions superior to theirs on
the entitle] day. The Fifteenth Triennial did not say much
for Tomes Cambridgeshire prospects, as Tornado beat
him very essay at lan, and when a pair who were behind the
two—the Banger and Early Pad —eutesquently gave lib to
Handfeed and ran away from him in the St. Leger, the
lattees friends bad to give up all hopes of his winning
the Cr anurilaa, good horse as he may be at
boon, for • boy wall not get more out of him than Ford-
ham did. Harlequin's clue race with Isoline for the
Queen's Plats nought Hurricane again into notice, as it
proved there are few superior four-year-olds to Harlequin,
when he only takes it into his head to struggle home. The
Great Eastern and October Handicaps passed off without
Mimeos to light a Cambridgeshire favourite, the extra
weight the Monk sad Man-at-Arms have to carry thereat
keeping them In the extreme outside rank, although they
were far before the remainder of the field, which included
Muezzin, Benjamin, Dunkeld, and others who had pre-
viously been talked about for the last great event of the
season.
The sport provided for the current week is the reverse of
brilliant, the Conant, rum and steeplechases on Monday
sad Tuesday, the Bedford Meeting as W eduesdny sad
Thursday, the Northallertou Meeting an Friday and Satur-
day, and the Caledonian Hunt Meeting at Perth ou Thurs-
day and Friday, comprising the only fixtures ; and of these
only Bedford is of puma ate rest. The Bedfordshire
Handicap, Two-year-Old Stakes, and Scurry Handicaps see
all the events completed as yet, and these may be won re•
apsetively by Lord of Linos (or Oberoo), the Teddirigton
filly, and the representative of Mr. Hughes (Vigil or Juhet).
