NORTHAMPTON AND PYTCHLEY HUNT RAM.

tire feature has become somewbet obliterated by the inetemad
insatiability of the public for racing at all periedzai=
the campaign does not aIIffUJIM Its buinesalike
until Northampton. Never has the meeting commenced under
more auspicious circumetanoss, the open winter woblitt
trainees to get their horses as It as they could desire, and the
promise of excellent sport was verified, as the annexed Mani
will show. The demand for beds on Monday was never

the crowds of visitors who blocked up the lobby and fined the
betting-room at "The Geos but oas anxious to kern some-
thing about the Stake, the tons of the market were disap-
pointed, as there were ly no transediens any importsnes
during the evening. &hatred was theonly animalof really
although numbers were talked about. The morning wiant
and slight rain, which hadihreatened, began to fall after the
first race, and continued more or leas d the aftenvoon : bat
this visitation made the already "sticky mums very Mary
acing.
The attendance was large the oornmedionssensti
crowded, but not inosavenl= so, and the
company was quite as numerous as eitecalsilen as the
Normptonshire Stakes, it wasusarsil admitted, bad sever
beau so unimportant, but this was compeneatei by
the large outlays at the poet. the heavy oseembelens
thrown Into the market about Buena hence at the latest
moment Induced layers to offer 9 to t on the field up to the
Sag falling ; indeed In some instaaces 6 to 1 was laid against
Mail Train, but William Days hone rallied again. and 90 to 90
was taken several times at the kb moment. MUlited finished
decidedly second favourite, 9 to 1 being freely taken, though at
one period Pearl Diver and Raglan had both supplanted him in
the =ttii,ona John Davis, who had been quietly invested
on Monday, was perhaps basket in the ring
for as mu money as anything, the followers of Danbury taking
10 to Ito heaps of money but thou odds ware obtainable up to
the close, In consequence of the substantial rapport awarded to
Mail Train, Ethelred. Raglan, Pearl Diver, Seamander, Valiant,
and Pintail, while Little Goy was freely backed at fil to 1.
Although the Stakes was the chief item of the day's bill of
fans, the Trial Stakes was a vary interesting nes with
such celebrities as Regalia, The Duke, sad Sucharometer ;
but the Oaks victriz had no difficulty in disposing of her
opponents. Sixteen numbers were hoisted for the great
race, and after taking a "preliminary," the horses centered to
the starting post, and were deepaieb in capital tinier at the
first attempt, the leniently welded Whisky taking up the run-
ning, but Raglan, who went beautifully, and looked b wagalb
coot condition, rushed to the front, and took • dear lead after
going nearly a mile. Challoner (who rode the winner
in consequence of Ferditanes absence) rode the top weight
most Judiciously, lying off till more than half the distance
bad been traversed, when be gradually ran through hie horses,
getting on equal terms with the leading division. When
fairly round the lad turn, the diminutive bat 'beautiful and truly
shaped son of Voltigeur and Jamaica, leaving his opponents u
R they were standing still, made a fearful exhibition of the field by
winning in a canter by ten lengths. Mall Train ran ralliclasity
forward to warrant the great support awarded to hint by the
Woodyeates followers, and halt a mile from home he looked as
formidable as anything in the race. &amender Gast yeses
wiener) was Never la the race, being outpaced Prom the dart.
John Davies victory was astounding to most persons not
connected with the stable, es 9 stone certainly looked on paper
sullicient to stop him, but his victory is an instance of what a
good horse, possessing good staying totalities, can do over a
severe course. John Days stable was in overwhelming force
and carried all before them, as their sobsequent victories with
Mr. fib for the Whit/Asbury and Lord Ronald In the PP=
Stakes proved. Regalia, notwithstanding het victory in the
Stakes, won the Guineas very easily. _ _
