NEWNIARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING.

FILIDAY.

The racing to.day being set to commease at 11.35,
there was uo time allowed for speculation on tin
future, and nothing was done except a little settling oa
the previous slay 'e transactions in front of the rooms thisi
morning: Asa wetter of course the attendance was not so
large as on any of the preceding days, but the end pee-
Reseed "ire or two items of interest_; and the weather being
?pin mild and genial, the afternoon was thoroughly en-
joyable. Proceedings were resumed with the match be-
finer' Retty and Coup d'Eclat, the competitors being
ridden by the two light weights, Kenyon and Butler. Odds
of 4 to 1 were laid on the prume's representative, whom
Butler landed a very easy winner by a length. The next
event was also a match, in which Lady Sestlessu was
asked to concede the somewhat novel weight of
liilbs. to Admiral Rous'e Puff, which she signally failed to
do, the last mentioned with odds on scoring an easy victory.
The Maiden Plate ',reduced 13 runners, of whom Corinne,
own sister to Julius, was made an equal favourite with
Housemaid, but Inspiration beat the tomer by three
lengths, Melbourne finishing third. The wiener is by New-
minster, out of Cannou, and was purchased at Doncaster,
last year, at Lord Derby's yearling sale, Mr. Chaplin giving
I,ollloi. for him. Although it was generally expected that
tthhee dirk 1 rerhy colt Typhoeus would make his strWit in the
Forlorn Stakes and oppose Athena, he was reserved for
another occasion, and Capitaine only disputed the way with
the winner of the companion stake—the Hopeful. These
war, no betting, sal the race was a mete center for this
fine daughter of Stockwell. The October Handicap came
next, being fixed for the, comparatively early hour of a
quarter past one. There were 17 runners although 18
numbers were originally' hoisted, that of Lord Ronald
being immediately taken down, but not, however, until he
Lad been •I• 110 a strong favourite and backed for a lot of
Tawny at 9to 2. The number was displayed on the board
In the betting ring much; longer than on that at the stand,
a few minutes of necessityelapsing before the distant board
ceuld be reached with the information that he did rot run.
Crest indignation was expressed at the withdrawal of the
Lone, especially after the number had beck hoisted.
]tine Victor. who hasbeen backed at long shoe for the
tiusibridgeshire, was made the favourite, Pirate Chief,
Chignon, and Friday having the cell of the others in
the betting. The race will he found described below,
and it is sufficient here to say that Friday, who has long
been expected to do a good thing, won cleverly for once,
running in a game sad generous manner. Trocadero ran a
peat home, considering that he carried the top weight
bet one of the runners. A head only separated Grey
StOcking and N'spartian, the latter of whom
looked very formidable a short distance from home,
bat tired a good deal in the last fifty yards?.
Middavia finished in advance of the three favourites,
who failed to stay the distance. One of the last
was Water Cure, the second in the Great Eastern Handi-
cap. The Handicap Sweepstakes (over the T,Y.C.) pro-
duced ten Nutmegs, and proved an easy victory for Tram-
Me. The sensational race of the day was the Two-year-old
Sweepatakeslover the T.Y.C.), which produced a dead
befit between Travista and L'Africsine. In the second
heat the French filly was made the favourite, but the par
-
Wins of the other nevek tired of taking odds,
and Mr. Chaplin aseepted in one bet an even
raw. The pair ran a dead .beat, . the second time a
brilliant set-to taking place between Challoner and Gus-
lance. In the decider Traviata won easily. Captain
Michell presented Custance with 1001. for riding the
winner. The other races will be found fully described
below. During the afternoon there was some speculation
on; future events, Honesty advarming in favouritism for
the Cesarewitch, 11 to 2 being taken and offered. Blink-
boblie would have been backed at 11 to 1, at which price
Thalia and Armourer were accorded genuine support.
There were numerous inquiries after Montgoubert,
who bad friends at IR to 1, and subeequently
at! 16 to I. On the platform at Cambridge there
wee the usual " ten minutes for refreshments,"
which was devoted to speculation. A lot of hones were
booked, but the feature of the betting was the support
mended to Romping Girl, whose reputed owner, Lord
Whatmorland backed her for 6001., commencing by taking
1000 to 30, and leaving off at 25 to 1. Honesty, Blink-
bathe, and hrmouseer were firm. The other quotations are
fully indicated By the list appended to the day's sport.

tookhis plaoe by the aide of Moldavia. Approaching the

signed the lead to Vespasian, who was attended
