Bll,—Out of forty-seven contests that took place

sporting marches fell to the ground • sad with such an open

engaged in the forthcoming great event rendered themselves
hors de combat during the meeting, and sums otherwiati &wig-
ndkant tames,. uid quite as much se the Cesarewitch
la that direction. The second event of the mecting,
the match ever the T. Y. C. between New Brighton and
Lord Nelsen, abut the latter out of the Cambridgeshire. as

well askdi the Cesarewitch, it being apparent he WY not
wee his host form by many pounds; and Tutees defeat by

' badgesbirs, with 6st 101b1 Tiers warn also beaten too far by
relict= foe the T.Y.C. Handiosp to hold out say hopes to
bar numerous backers lee the short ram, supposing s was
bar day. With reference to the Cmarewitch, the victory of
Claire on Monday for the " trial piste " sent the friends of
! bee stable companion, Clydesdale, into mamas, but, at the
[ seer Ems, they mast have been chagrined at not knowing
ilitneeriblegr Yee hid, for she mdght have done the

vary long 'Goes; but Disputes exhibition did not affect
Special License In the least. The only Important item in ad-
dition to the great event on Tuesday was the Clearmll,
which brought together Thorrumby and King of Diamonds
for the first time since they met at Ascot. Thunderbolt's
Gem victory on Monday caused the odds to be laid upon
Thormanby without compunction by those who looked at the
Goodwood ceasing of the two; but the "not" was upset
by those he =pared to bold most sate, end it is difficult to
account for Me ail= =lees on the ground that be is a Lad

aseseritcb, it being enfficiest foe me to remark that the run-
ning disposed of mere arm a dome banes mimed in the
Cambridgeshire, for eletekso,DesChtlese Priors= Lord ?Weal,

formances; and as Star of the East and Austra ten
Maid, who showed some pace, ars not to be trusted,
Artier, hlomini, Independence, Broadlands, sad Ambush
must hold sate all that meet them again. Them wen always
in front, and when looking at the fact of Artless having been
amiss such • abort time previously, she must not be over-
looked, with all the extra weight. That the dead hest was
• mistake in the first place was apparent to every looker-on,
• splendid rush on the part of Challoner causing Dame to be
completely unnerved, although he otherwise rode the mare
remarkably well, and hence he tried to hurry her along for
the last few strides, which she did not at all like. Still the
deciding heat did not settle Gaspard's inferiority satisfactorily,
es Gaspard had cut his leg very badly, and it meat have M-
agee sore by the time he cams out again, consequently he
was finally beaten in the commonest of canters, Art-
less showing such staying powers, that her sire, Anti',
meet not be set down for the future as • getter of
T.Y.C. home only. Whether she can give Mossini 151 b,
and Ambush 191 b additional weight in the Cambridgeshire,
however? is a gelation which the race itself must decide ; my
opinion ta that one of the two should turn the tables, look-
ing at the forward positions they held for nearly two miles,
and Broadlande must also be • tiresome opponent, with the
weight. 2016 more in his favour, if he does not take to
bolting again. V•ltintle reasons are Man for the utter defeats
of such prominent &vomits' ea Borderer, Special Leese=
Moment, Polestar, Yorkshire Grey, Tunetall Mad, and
Marine ; but there is no denying the fact of the moo choking
them all, with one single exception, for only Polestar was
ever in the front rank. She recopied • prominent position
hoe start to finish, end the opinion of her jockey was that
she would have been " there, or thereabouts," had she not
showed the jade, for he never once had to extend her,
and she " cut it" just when he thought of
taking her to the fore. To show how easily
owners of horses are to be deceived, it needs only to
point to the circumstance of Marmni proving • good same
better in the race than either Borderer or Royal Sovereign,
who eat the owner of the trio a large stake of money, while
Marini served him the same trick at Doncaster. Marine
never looked in the race either before or during the struggle,
and Muorcock doing " ditto," the pair must be eat down se
reek impostore, and their wonderful trials as all "e•1111110D."
On Wednesday we bad the Oatiands Plata, which brought
out three Cambridgeshire horses in Solomon, Australian
Maid, cad Comforter, but the Maid having exhibited her
old propensity for bolting, while the others cut up badly,
they are not likely to trouble the layers much. The Town
Plate gave rise to much conversation, tor the performance of
Winkfield, with 84 121 b, showed that he must have had some
chance far the Cemewitch, with Oat 61b, had he started,
although he only beat • rogue; and that it was • great over-
eight on the part of the amble is proved by the owner
of Winkfield losing considerably more than the value cf the

was contested by • better class of 2.yr-olds than usual, and
the long rest Solna= has had since July appeared to have
dons her • world of good, for she looked perfection, sad cut
do= bee opponents so very cleverly, that those who are
looking out for an Oaks favourite need not travel ranch
farther. A 6W. Plate fur all ages on Thursday brought
together some rare flyers, and Brother to Rainbow showed
enough weer and tsar for some of his old Darby friends
to rally round him. Znyder Zee ran very kindly ItlldiT 10st,
and were his weight but a few pounds less in the Cambridge-
shire, his party could not but be sweet. The dietence was
not far enough for Claire, who notwithstanding beat some
good horse. at racing weights., and the handicappers must in
future take great owe of her. It was something extraordinary
to see two dad heats for matches in one day, and 1.06111
would have it there was • mistake, which the posts having
bees discovered "out" subsequently explained ; but the riders
do not complain, and it is even mewed that Walls remarked
to Fordbeni when the two passed the poet on Orlanda and
Connemara= that it was • dead heat. It is singular that
whoa there le say doubt about • victory it should always
happen dos public give their Set to the favourite; and this
feet elope should prevent any notice being taken of their
megracra, =ea the jadee is positive. The Greek wen •

shire weight to be but Get 61b, be will prove an
invaluable second-shot in the event of aught happening
to tus stable companion, Artless ; but as It is averred the
latter can do se ohs pleases with him it only serves for
the present to render her prospects more brithent. The A. F.
Handiesp Plate brought another Cmabridgmbire favourite in
lad Alice, who deserves every attention for her defeat of
Lord Nebo". Bast Langtoe, Argosy, and Accurate, as, despite
her Mb penalty, she meets them all on better terms therein.
The last day's racing gave us • eight of two more " cracks"
is Oros sad Twiligh ,t who won their ems in • canter ; but
=mot admit to liking the form of the first-mentioned,
although be has but • feather. A most disreputable tranese-
non took place in connexion with a claimieg sweepstakes,
Bwerthes head bring " pulled off" to prevent her winning,
and the "roping" was so motifmt that it is surprising bow
her rider could have so far forgot himself, as, on the slightest
consideration, he must have seen that nothing but
utter ruin ea • jockey was staring him in the fan by
such barefaced " palling." Of coarse be was in-
stantly =mead= from riding again at Newmarket;
but there were others more blameable, fa my opinion,
ea he must have received the most positive orders what
to do, from his great anxiety to lose, and when the matter
is further investigated we Audi ale who is the real delinquent.
The result of the Prendergast was sufficient to renew the
hopes of Tbormanbe'e Derby backers, but although it wag an
improvement on the Clearwell performance, when we consider
how molly Seclusion defeated Made= Eglantine and
Aurora, there appears nothing in it to balm him to 100 to 6,
as Madams Eglantine beat one of the defeated (Kittle of Dia-
monds) in • canter at the last meeting here, and Aurora was
always within • pound or so of Contedina. He must boat
Thunderbolt and Vanquisher for the Criterion next week to
maintain hie position, end pending that race hie admirer@
should not to too eager. I cannot conclude with my subject
without remarking on another brilliant performance of Acuson
over half • mile, 9.1 flb being insufficient to atop him in
the most respectable company, and the ranark made • fort-
, night beck with reference to his stable companion, Arladee,
end the Cambridgeshire, must be here reiterated. Since that
time =ekes become • prominent favourite, and there le little
to choose now between bar and North Lincoln in the market.

The meetings for this week are those et Ipewich, Kelso,
sad Northallerton, the most important beteg undoubtedly
that in the far north. The principal events are the Rox-
burgh Handicap, Two and Three Year Old Sweepstakes, and
Border Handicap, in all of which the Embalm stable moat
be very handy with Ompard and Nucleus, it being on tho
cards for the three prizes to be divided between them. At
Ipswick the Oreek or Hamlet for the Suffolk Handicap, and
Infanta for the Stsuaton Stakes and Nursery, may repay
attention ; but the meeting at Northallerton I cannot take
eereMance of, with the events closed subject so touch to
stable tactic.—l ma, Ikc., METEOR.

on • previous occasion, respect ng the alteration in the

the satiefection of the spectators. Attention hes also been
directed to the winning poste on the flat, which have been
disoovered to be for Iron "level," and hence the surpriee
which some people have at times expressed at
the judge's decisions. The badmen in every de-
t w well conducted, and Mr. James
ee
Manning, the clerk of the scales, deserves especial praise
for the expeditith which he used in weighing the jockeys, and
having the numbers of the oaten displayed on the tele-
graph. la our account of the recant Doncaster Meeting, we
directed attention to the very orate decision which the
stewards of that meeting delivered respeedag the carrying of
extra weight by Zuyder Zee. The gaged= was discussed at
a meeting of the Jockey Club at Newmarket on Wednesday
lan, when Lord Glasgow moved the kallerang antendemet to
rule 64 :—" That when a primer may pert of it le given la a
plate the place of plats eradiate be odeulated in the value of
the prise whether it Is paid oat of the stakes or given in
Winos to the stakes." Oa a divides, the numbers pro
and me were equal. The question will be brought forward
again. It is, however, virtually settled by the insertion of a
clove in the conditions of • race on Thursday, when it was
stated that say bone would be liable to extra weight for
winning asweepetakee valve 300 soya. (isoluding the value
dry cep or pros). It is somewhat sinlar that Zuyder
Zu, whose themes at Donceeter aurad attention to be
directed to tie subject, should be among the starters for the
Int race in which tie new and necessary dolma is inserted.
