NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING.

THURADAT.
THE ONE THOUSAND GUINEAS DAY.

There was a considerable addition to the acuity attendance of
hesterday, but still the contrast between the appearance of the
eath on Tuesday and to-day was very striking, the number of
visitors being small as compered with the concourse of people
that swarmed on to the heath to witness the Two Thousand.
The fillies race had bee looked upon as a good thing
fur the Danebury stable, represented as they were
by Repulse and Ischia, two of the flying performers
of last season, and when It became known during Wednesday
evening at the subecriptioneooms that Ischia and Theta—the
latter a former stable companion of Repulse—were not going to
run, the daughter of Stockwell and &rite became a kemen-
dously hot favourite, and after a level bet, of £.600 bad been
booked, Mr. Jackson offend to take £3,000 to *2,000, with
which be was immediately aooommodatod. Bat, thougha blood-
less victory, it was not 'so easily won as the enthusiastic sup-
of the favourite bad anticpated, for had it not
sup-
porters
the frequent disappointments which Harry Orbnshaw
encountered towards the finish. it is more than likely that he
would have landed the French colours. In more senses than
one the features of the week at headquarters are without a
wallel, for never before, in the annals of Newmarket, have the
Two Thousand and One Thousand Guineas been won by the
favourites, both starting at odds of to 1 laid on them. As far
as the rivals concerned, the "big men" are 'Wearers generally,
and this, following so closely upon the knock-down blow they re-
ceived over Lord Lyon, has operated as a caution against taking un-
due liberties with either of the favourites for the Derby. The
remarkable rumen of John Day's stable caused frequent in-
quiries after Rustic, and such was the rush to get on the pre-
sumed representative of Denebury that he was speedily installed
first favourite, 3 to 1 having been taken kindly—and in some
instances half a point less—while Lord Lyon declined to •to 1,
although it will be remembered he had been backed at 3 to 1
the previous evening for hundreds.

The nine competitors assembled at the poet at the appointed
time, and after but a very brief delay the hag was lowered to a
capital start. After going a few strides, &seer to Minnie.
making the pace a cracker for her stable compaaton rushed
to the front, and took a clear lead of the others, the
favourite, lying wide on the lower ground, being slightly in ad-
vance of the French filly, while in the centre of the course Las
ethylene and Pamunkey were conspicuous, with Sheila on the
judges side of the course. Alter going about half a mile
thol*.e commenced to tell on Sister to Minnie, who retired, and
Repulse took up the running, with Bayonette in dose atten-
dance ; the latter, however, hung very much on the favourite,
whom Cannon was compelled to ease to avoid a collision and
Bayonette, within 200 yards of the chair, got her head in front.
The race from this point was reduced to a match between the
pair, but the French filly hung so much towards the favourite
that Grimahaw had great diMculty in keeping her straight, and
was only able to right her when too late, as Repulse won a most
exciting race by a head. Mirrella a bad third. The Maid of
Mash= filly, several lengthayoff, was fourth, rantininkey next,

beaten off.

THE LATE VOLUNTEER REVIEW AT BRIGHTON.
--Sir Robert Garrett, who commanded the volunteers at
Brighton on Easter Monday, has expressed to the Secre-
tary of State of War the peat satisfaction which he felt at
the appearance and steadiness of the troops and also with
their general deportment and soldierlike bearing. Their
marching past before the Duke of Cambridge was his (Sir
It. Garrett's) opinion performed in a highly creditable and
soldierlike manner ; some of the battalions (those from
London especially) having excited by their marching and
appearance very great admiration. After stating the
manoeuvres which took place, he goes on to speak of the
activity and lightness of the step of the men while return-
ing by battalions to the ground allotted to them
at the " levels "at Brighton, as being strong evidence of
their condition, and of the spirit which animated
them. Neither officers nor men showed any signs of
fatigue (towards dusk) after havmg most of them been in
movement since daybreak. The Lp cing of the 24 heavy
guns in their Bret position, over exceedingly heavy ground,
which was rendered particularly soft by a continual fall
of rain, and subsequently the throwing back of the whole
of their left into a second position (as performed by the
3rd and 4th brigades of artillery) were deserving of the
highest commendation ; so also were the movements of
the Ist and 2nd brigades of artillery which moved to the
attack over ground very difficult for artillery to
I work upon. The movements of the infantry
throughout the day were generally very steadily
and correctly performed, but I venture to nig-
; gest that the formation of the brigade. of infantry
should be numerically smaller. It is true (lie says) that
the intelligence, readinees, and general aptitude of the
men enabled the brigadiers to perform movement. which
I could hardly have been done by such strong brigadesif
the men were not powessed of those qualifications. If
each brigade were composed of three instead of five butts-
' lions, and if instead of ten brigades in so large a force
there were sixteen, lem of opinion that it would be a
great improvement.
