THE NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER

them whether the last race of the First October week, •

rugged the matter. It is not often, fortunately, that the
Jockey Club has such a cue to take in hand, and it is to
be hoped they will not fail to make public the result of
their investigation, whatever it may be. The gees.

his duties is also likely to be rpopensd, sad it
if Mr. letheorge can keep his nerves sufficiently in order to

the events proposed produce nose. Monday's list ambreces,a
dozen items, in addition' to • walk over ; Tueeday's, 10 ;
Wedneeday'a, 13 ; Thursday's, 12 ; andiFriday's„ 10 ; sup-
posing the two matches for which no day has been mused
come off on the last day, according to rule ; and al-
though the fifteen matches may not all produce cages*
nor all the 28 unclosed events obtain ratan, there will be
au average of at least ton races per diem, with the majority
over short comes. Monday's programme I have
not much to do with, it being sufficient to
remark the Nebula, Backstop., Duke Rollo, and
Meaner look the best to stand for tine four matches,
Limosira for the Free Handicap, and Tornado
for the 300 sore. Sweepstakes; the October Produce
Stakes and Produce Match are not to be diactused here, as
all depends on what Sir R. Bulkeley or Mr. Marry ma
stand upon in the one case. and Lord Glasgow or Sir J.
Hawley in the other, each of thew gentlemen Mini' 00111i-

Oa Tueeday there will be two great races, the Chanson
Stakes, for 2-yr-olds, T.Y.C., coming under this deem:dna-
tion. as at least half a score have performed sufficieetlY well
to be entitled to fans the starter, namely, Early Purl (Bb
extra), Tom Fool, the Eloot's dam °sit (Jib astral, Conical,
Amelia, Weatherbow (alb extra). Duukeld, Gentinsomme
(31b extra), Gunner (31b extra), and Charlemagne (31b extra).
Onesander, Hospodar, Durwood, end the Beau—dark
horses—have also been well spoken d ; and although the
Frenchmen may not run both the Gentilhommemod Hospodar,

either the Gunner or Charlemagne, there should he at least
ten runners, Early Purl, Weatherbow, Tam Fool, and the
Gunner comprising the best of them. TAO Fool has gene-
rally run soft ; but his two moods' rest may JIM mate-
rially improved hint ; and should airything beat Feely Purl
it may tall to his lot. The Ccearewnoh, tars mils and .•
quarter, is • severe race to get through, and should the
ground become heavy all calculations recently made may be
completely upset, while the field is sum to be awaited con*
derably by outsiders. At present there are newly feetyln

The remaining events cam be briefly summed up, and I
shall select Bucketiliam for the'Peet Sweepstakes. Annum

The Prendergast Stakes, for two.yearolds, T.Y.e., will en-
