NORTHAMPTON AUTUMN MEEIING.
WIDUBDA7.

The attendance today we; even more limited than that
at yesterday, and the course and stand presented • compa-
ratively deserted appearance. The thin attendance on
the course was probably influenced by the weather a good
deal, is the wind blew in violent gusts during the after-
noon, and rain wan several times threatened t but fortu-
nately it kept off until just after the spurt had concluded,
when there was • heavy storm, and the course was soon
cleared of spectators. The racing was decidedly an im-
provement upon that of yesterday, the fields being larger,
and the finishes more interesting and exciting, but the
afternoon was so unoomfortable that there was no enthu-
siasm. Racing commenced at half-past one o'clock
with the Harlestun Nursery, which, although set
as the LA MOO of the day in the order of running pub-
lished in the morning papers, was allowed to take the plane
of the Northampton Handicap at the request ot the
stewards, who probably foresaw that the laid-mentioned
race would be little better than • walk-over. This ar-
rangement was made after the order of running as first
fixed hail been circulated. Retty was weighed for in the
Harlesten Nursery, but owing to the mare not being on
the spot, the number was only displayed about • minute
on the telegraph board. The various races being fully
described below.need no deecriptiou in this place. During
the intervals of sport there was some betting on the
Cesarewitch sail Cambridgeshire, but nothingiaensational
took,place. At the George Hotel in the morning nothing was
done, and the only offer was 9to 1 sgst Thalia. On the
course Honesty maintained his position, and was the sub-
ject of occasional investments at 11 to 2, which price,
however, was always obtainable. Blinkuolie was not so firm,
as after 9to 1 had been laid 10 to 1 was offered. Romping
Girl at 33 to I was entrusted with a little money, as was
also King's Growth 110 to 1. The other transactions were
limited to offers. For the Cambridgeshire several horses
were hacked at comparatively long prices, 1000 to 40
being taken about Actma, and the like odds to • smaller
amount about Satyr, whilst Julius, the Maid of Mashain
filly, and Arwourer were each backed at 1000 to M.
