The town was very quiet on Sundry. the miditudaj
special not bringing so heavy • load of vi-hors as
At tbo mono very little was doe a. t'.-r•- were only a
few members present. This inoria:: a.. i with a great
change in the weather, the lo•Ag-eei, t• i r descending
in deluging showers, especially during th- ly part of the
afternnon, and the Cattalarial,-,!,...e Tr' • run off
in quite a drenching downfall. In the :1,,L: of the rooms
before the racing commenced there was a -trorg disposition
to back Laneret, and after 10 to I hell bet n taken freely
100 to 12 was accepted. Honesty f r.:!, at sto I,
but when the heath was reached beth be : Lauaret were
...quid favourites at that price. .4 in great de-
mand. and on the heath so strong was ti.e austration in
his favour that be reached 8 to 1, but vner. the furore had
sour-what cooled down 10 to 1 was his cello.: price. The
Strationl's data colt, on the strength of . trial,
came to ti to I, taken both in fount of t!. • rooms and on
the course, but as List he receded to 1. The
Attack colt was supported at to I thrca4loott. The
majority of the events decided .lo not for comment
here. The proceedings commenced with a:a deli between
Coup d'Eclat and Parma, which was won the former in
a canter, and was succeeded by t! e Maiden Plate,
which fell to Will Blood. Then came id:rlicap Plate
of 200/.. producing • good field, and et all! .1 scrinnnage
at the hoist. The tint to come in w..- Angela, who
was oliji cted to by the riders of •ai and Specu-
lum, who tinh.he.l a demi heat for se.ce:. ! ;dace, on the
ground that the first named cannoned their horses.
The stewards thereupon investigated :Le ...atter and dis-
qualified St. Angela, ordering the dead to run off
a deciding beat, which the older horse eventually won,
after a magnificent race, by a head. Some Ever or five minor
contests intervening, the important Criterion Stakes cams
on for decision. This proved the " moral" it looked, for
Sir Joseph Hawley's splendid colt Rosicrucian, notwith-
standing that lie was opposed by • likely Sell, to upset •
great " pot." The odds laid on him were never in
doubt, and coming away when called upon he woo
in a common eater. King Alfred here showed
improving form by running Leonie to • neck.
which, with his performance with Speculum at the last
meeting, entitles him to some respect in his coming
three-year-old career. The largest field of the day wax
produced by the concluding race, and was eagerly watched
for the hearing it would have in the struggle of the Cam-
bridgeshire. The winner turned up in of 1 saccbarometer,
who having got the better of his various mishap, in tho
earlier part of the season, came out as fresh as a lark, and
wttled the other tweutytwo competitors a distance from
belle, !entering in easily by two lengths. Old "Sao"
being tcw :;-.!al horse of Laneret, brought the latter in
great force for The Cambridgeshire, making him decidedly
first favourite at 11 to 2, and if the two were tried at any-
thing like a favourable difference of weight, the winner of
the last grand handicap of the year is already known to the
public in Laneret. The betting in respect of some of the
other candidates underwent some changes on the course,
which, with details of the running, will be found fully re-
corded below. It is, perhaps' a fact worth noting that
the weight of Burrell, who rode Distaff in the last race, is
only 13Th.
