BIBURY CLUB RACER...4'I3EBOAL
The Hampshire campaign, which commenced under such
favourable auspices at °Wham on M , was continued to-day
with the celebrating of the Bibury Club which, since the
revival by the club of the Burford meeting, one of the oldest in
England, has laid claim to be one of the Inuit select and aristo-
cratic affairs of the year. The increased railwayfacWUa, end
the fact of the races being run over the Stockbridge course, now
one of the most important and largely patronised. has deprived
the Mary Club no-sting of much of its exclusiveness. I t is evident,
too,,frorn the changes which have of late taken place in the pro-
gramme of sport, that the management lutend that their meeting
should be considered as a prelude to the Stockbridge meeting
Itself. The Odlham meeting being concluded In good time on
Monday, the majority of the turfites who had " assisted" on
Bartley-common Journeyed on and located themselves at the va-
rious places In the neighboutbood of Stockbridge, the little
town Itself being taxed to tho utmost by the number of visitors,
while Andover end Southampton came In for their dare of
patrons, as did also Winchester, and indeed every 'Slav within
• radius of a dozen miles of the course. As at Odihsm. the
weather was beautifully floe, and the company on the course
was quite as numerous as last year, and the customary pa
was accorded to the meeting by the members of the ertirtr,
stewards' stand, and the stand set apart for members, being
filled by an aristocratic party from the Cottage" and Hurst-
bourne-park. The Prince of Wales, who intended last year to
' be present, but wasprevented from doing so owing to other en-
gagements, honoured the sport to-day with his presence, arriving
by special train trees London to Andover. and departing soon
'titer the vietery of Europa, returning to the metropolis by • *pedal
from Andover. The course was in beautiful going order, and
the scene from the grand stand, which commands a fine view of
the extensive Hampshire downaof which the course forms a part,
was imposing. The card contained eight races, the first one—
the Handicap Sweepstakes—being appointed for half-past one
o'clock. For this event there were seven runners, the favourite
being Tumbler, who showed that the confidence reposed In him
had not been misplaced, for with Fordharn in the saddle, he won
with comparative ease. and the great jockey thus conuuenced a
series of brilliant victories which, it will be seen, he accom
tithed during the day. This contest was succeeded by the
Hamilton Stakes—a new race—for Miles at Sat 111 b each.
The Marquis of Hastings, the Duke of Hamilton, Sir Joseph
Hawley, Mr Fredederlck Johnstone, the Duke of Newcastle, Lord
itebridge. and Captain Machell, each named a couple, bat all, et-
cegthe Marquis and the Duke of liamiltoti, paid the L.soothrfeit.
At
hens represented the Marquis, and Leone the young duke.
Immennase Interest
rete
was manifested In the result when the race
became • match between the pair, Chic, who was weighed for
by Parry, having been withdrawn. In the saddllag-paddock each
of the Mlles had their admirers, and both were surrounded and
critically examined, their preliminary canters being watched
with an extraordinary amount of interest. Athena, front the ,
manner in which she "spread-eagled" a large field
all Newmarket, was the most fancied, and is were
lard on her. While the pair were at the, rest, Mr. Steel offered
1000 to 70 five times against the Marquis's mere for next year's
Derby, but the offer did not elicit a response. The race is fully
described below. but it may he mentioned that Edwards found
it necessary to move on the Duke's mare, and that site appeared
beaten opposite the enclosure, but coming again In the last few
strides, she struggled with indomitable game'', as, and the result
was a dead heat. In the deciding affair, which was run after the
bust race on the card Nide of 13 to 8, were lAI,I on Athena. but
the Duke of Hamilton's fill), won with ease by a
length and a half, amid loud and prolonged cheering
and the Duke was congratulated on all sides on the
possession of so good a youngster. The Donulegton Stakes, like
the Hamilton Stakes, only produced two runners, the Marquis of
Hastings and the Duke of Hamilton being again represented.
The betting opened at 7 to • on Mameluke, then Ito I was laid
all over the ring, but at the dome, the bookmakers accepted
6to • Coming up the straight., it looked like as if the pair were
going to make a dead heat, but a couple of strides from the
chair Fordhant managed to get his horse's head in frontand just
won on the post. For the Ifibury Stakes, Lord Ronald was made
the favourite. hut, as will he seen, the race was won by the
moderate Atlesbury, Fordham, who put up a seven pound
penalty for being a probastional rider, finishing with one of his
magniAcent rushes, and winning by a neck from Lucifer. The
start for the Ninth Biennial Stakes was delayed some
time owing to its being discovered after the com-
petitors had gone to the post, that Europa was
not entitled to the three pound allowance which Furdham
had claimed at the scale for the filly's being out of a
dam that bred • winner. She was cantered back, in
company with her stable-oompaninn See-saw, and reweighed.

thing ; but the colt failed to realise the expectations for.' ed of
hitn.and the result west hat Fordhamaridedanother to hisalready
formidable list of winning mounts, the favourite 'Europal land-
ing cleverly from her stable-companion See-saw. Parg, who was
most resolutely ridden by Cannon, and who required all the skill
of that popular horseman, for he was fractious at the post, and
more than once tried to "cut it," won the Selling Plate of 10
sows., and was afterwards sold to hie old master, 11r. George
Reynold.. for £2OO, lust double the entered price ; Mr. Hope, the
owner of Signet. claiming ?Ir. Porter's weber* of the pre-
vious day, Primula ; while Signet was claimed by the
Marquis of Hastings. For the Champagne Stakes the "dark
'en," tit. Ronan, was started In oppoeit'on to nine others, in-
cluding See-saw, ltabican, Augur, and Cold- of the Walk. The
result was another "plum for the followers of Dauebury and
Fordharn, for See-saw won cleverly, the high-priced St. Roma
finishing third. The Plate of MOO was won by Merry Monarch
and Fonlham, that popular Jockey having had no less than rive
wins out of six mounts. Details of the day's sport are appended :

the favourite, on the left band of Lamle, made play with a
lead of nearly half a length. and they ran thus into the dip,
where Edwards was compelled to move on his mare to keep her
in position. At the commencement of the Stand enclosure It
looked any odds on the Marquis's representative, but Edwards
riding resolutely, and Leosle answering gamely, the pair were
head and head half-a-dozen strides from home. Fordtbun made
