MEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.

WZDIUSDAY.
The card of to-day had no less than eleven items set for
a/16310n, a racing banquet calculated to satiate the veriest
%id glutton. Independently of the numerical strength of
alte programme an unusual amount of interest was im-
ported into it by the introduction of the new Two-year-
old race, the Middle-park Plate—an event which, irre.
speetive of immediate results, was regarded with anxiety,
es foreshadowing to some extent the pretensions to favour-
itism for next year's Derby end Oaks. Up to yesterday
leis event was deemed a foregone conclusion for the
hitherto unbeaten Achievement, but her defeat in the
aserwell Stakes put matters in a new light, and not only
encouraged a large field to face the starter, but rendered
the race a good betting one. The details of the running
will be found elsewhere, but it may be briefly mentioned
/sere that The Rake won In a common canter, and on the
strength of the performance, immediately became a warm
favourite for the Derby. The remainder of the day's sport
does not call for special remark, beyond noting that
Pardluim had one of his " field days," pulling off no lea
Shan five out of the eleven events. The weather was fine,
but chilly, a cold east wind having set in, and what with
exposure to this, sad an overdoes of sweepotthes and
matches, every one seemed glad to quit the heath. Full
particulars of the running are appended.

The start was delayed b Achievement, who displayed a
deal of temper, while The Palmer was obliged to be led to
the post. Eventually a capital start was effected, Knight
of the Garter on the extreme right, and Trocadero on the
left, being the first to show in advance, the moat prominent
in the centre being Janus and The Rake, while slightly in
their rear were Achievement, The Palmer, and Ratter,
Freemaaon being well upon their right. As they neared
the Bushes, Trocadero and Janus were in trouble, and a
short distance farther The Palmer was beaten. Knight
of the Garter, who had been making the running at a
good pace, was headed by The Rake, and Achievement drew
lip to Captain Rachell's colt. In the dip Custance called
resolutely on Achievement, and although the filly
answered gamely, The Rake, full of running, increased his
lead, and won in a canter by three lengths, amidst loud
sheen from the fielders. Knight of the Garter was beaten
a neck only from Achieveinent, Hatter was fourth, Raw
fifth, Trocadero sixth, The Palmer seventh. Freemason
