NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING.

Whiifft.spar.
Though the card of the day represented but a
programme, it was to a certatn extent compensated=
the premise of interest attaching to some of the events,
and, on the whole, the day's sport was of a fair average
character. The Nineteenth Triennial was productive of a
large amount of wagering; at first, Knight of the Garter
was made a warm favourite at IS to 4 on ; subsequently,
however, from a report that he was amiss, he gave way
to Ravioli, but be came again at the close, and left off
favourite at I; to 5 on. In the race itself the Knight
proved himself • trustworthy champion, by defeating his
opponent very easily indeed. The St. Leger Stakes fur-
nished one of the most gamely-contested and exciting
finishes that has been witnessed for mazy • day. Ford-
haw, on Owain Glyndwr, and Challoner, ou Trees-
dere, contested the last hundred yards inch by
inch, the Findon horse just managing to win by
a head. Seldom have the two "heroes of • hun-
dred fights" displayed more dab and determina-
tion, and this race alone was worth coming to Newmarket
to see. The result gave Owain Glyndwr a tremendous lift
in the Cesarewitch quotations, ea to 1 was Mime=
afterwards taken about him for the big race. As
the Cesarewitch betting generally that took place in the
course of the day, the most impotent feature was the
caning of Armonrer, who met with such heavy and persis-
tent support that he became as nearly as possible second
favourite. Sealskin, Romping Girl, and Moutgoubert were
also severally backed for good money, and left off with •
healthy and progressive appearance. Notwithstanding
this new state of things, the positions of the horses
hitherto occupying the front rank were not materially
affected, with the exception of Lothario, who receded some
three or four points. Reverting to the day's racing, it is
sufficient to state that the residue of the programme was
made up of the usual sprinkling of plates, which were de-
void of any special interest, and demand no further notice
than the appended details:
