THE OAMBE.WGZSJIIRE DAY.

With • floe day ia penman% sad • pennants* otia.
Waite, ba addition to the great raga, tee ovule to be de-
cided, it is not surprising that the stteedanes on the heath
was larger than it had bees for years. The tows was very
full at an early hour, voidable a all deeeriptione, and lecke
of all degrees being brought into requisition, sad for ea
hour prior to the first rue • perfect regiment of bosumen
and a continuous lined catnaps moved in the dinetioa of
the heath. At the rooms last night some important &sages
took place in the heath, quotations. Gratitude was very
firm, sad decidedly first favourite, having supplanted Brick.
Before leaving the heath sto 1 wee the highest price ob.
tenable against Mr. Robinson's mare. Brick, who bed re-
tired to 7 to 1, was soon brought back to 11 to 2 when his
supporters came into the room. Stockioger, who bad been
backed heavily on the heath, still more improved his post.
do Bto 1 Ming taken freely. Columbia was very firm at
11 to 1, and looked like seeing • shorter price A greet
number of animals were backed whew names were Maladed
in the list of midnight betting. The only feature in the
betting this months in treat of the roue was the support
awarded to Serekanger, who from 7 to 1 taken quickly
cams to 5 to 1, Wag unmistakeably 'tnt favourite.
The first race wee timed for 11.30, for which the three
"coloured" came to the post, Lord Barleigh, Exchequer,
and Argoeut ; " his lordship " had no difficulty in dis-
posing of his aategensta, for he woo literally as he liked.
Argot:eat was left at the post. The match between Fiume
and Olivia was won by Lord Aneeiley's filly. The Fifty
Pound Plate, over the Beacon Course, was contested by six
animals. The pace was so bad that eery of derision war
need as they passed the Cerarewitch Stand, sod the
jockeys were greatly chafed, a wag suggesting " that it
wanted two jockeys to each of thee* hones to get them
along." The race was eventually won by Lord West-
motelaad's Troubadour. The Cambridgeshire Stakes was set
as the card for Ll 5, allowing tides-quartos* of an hour for
riddling, which was accomplished in good tine, the com-
petitors being all ready for the fray at the
appointed hour. Thirty-eight numbers appeared on the
telegraph board out of the 54 coloured; the only absentee
who bad been backed for any amount war Ifecohna. The
betting was remarkable for the increased support to
Stockinet, who wail freely backed at 100 to 30. Gratitude,
at sto 1, was the next in demand, whilst 6 to 1 was easily
obtainable about Brick. Ackworth, at 15 to 1, was strongly
supported up to the start. The sight was one long to be
remembered, the number of horsemen who attended the
competitors to the pest adding to the grand effect produced
by such an array of bones as stretched in a line across the
course awaiting the word to " go." This beautiful order,
however, was not long retain, for before Mr. Wl:Map
could take advantage of the lot being well iz
their, Sliefflogtoo, Blue Mantle, and Brick b
away, followed by ten or twelve others. Thirties
fella starts, is which the same animals figured
prominently each time, occupied an hour at the post. The
patience of all wee amest exhausted when the cry et
They're off " roused the flagging interest of the 'packets:in.
The start was a very good one, the excitement being intones
as they came over the crest of the hill. where Seederometer
occupied a forward position, closely attended by Stockinger,
Blue Mantle, and Colombia. Allot going about half the
distance, Blue Mantle got his bead in front, and fikafingtoa
on the far side appeared to be running very forward.
Gratitude, Ashworth, Tomato, Columbia, /186bn/or's darn
colt, sod Viva', about four or five hundred yards from homes
came out, and the rue wee apparently confined to this
half-dome and Skeffington the latter on the upper
ground. Gratitude seemed to die away on enter-
ing the ropes, and Ack worth, closely attended by
Tomato, came away, and after a brilliant set-to

obliged to ride him after going ball the distance. The Mar.
clam of Butanes purchased Ack worth for 2,000 teams im-
mediately alter the Cesarewitch, in which nos he ran third
to Thelrettia and Gratitude. Although the price was by
some considered very large, Ankworth being a gelding, hie
lordship's good judgment was verified by the popular
scarlet and white hoops being carried triumphantly
past the post. Great cheering followed the hoisting of the
winning Dumber, the Marquis of Hastiop beg very popular.
There were seven events to be decided after the Cam-
bridgeshire, boat as they are of • very uainteresting nature
the account of the running will sufficiently describe • lot of
handicaps which are unworthy of Newmarket, and in
which the public take no interest whatever. Curdles had
to be lighted to weigh oat the jockeys for the two last
races, and it was quite dark before all left the course, the Let
race on the card having to be postponed until this day
(Wednesday). Subjoined are full details of the running.
