NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING. -TM;ItiIDAV.
The weather to-day was more favourable, for although the
inoruing had a very forbidding aspect, towards noon the black
clouds domed off, and had it not been for the strong wind
which prevailed the afternoon would have been really pleasant.
Before pneceeding to the course there was a meeting in front of
the subscription rooms, for the purpose of settling, after which
some speculation took place upon future events, details of which
will be found appended to the running. Racing rommenced at
half-past twelve o'clock with the Claret Stakes, which produced
a couple of runners - the Maid of Ilaahfun colt and Auguste-the
absentee from the three coloured being Lord Staneford's Rocs
Odds of 6to 4 were Mill on the French volt, and, as will be men
from the appended return, the " talent" landed the odds,
and the race, for the second time in succession, fell to
the popular cutouts of Count Lagrange. It will be remembered
that last year Gladiatenr walked over tor this race, and the
"donkey-eater," Amidst/ens, saved his stake. The Biennial
Stakes brought out a field of five runners, against eleven bat
year. Imelda was elected favourite, 7 to 4 being freely taken,
while Westwick, the reported trial-horse of Taraban, was backed
at 2to 1. The winner however turned up in The Peer, and it
was quite refreshing to see the popular - blue and gold belt' of
that thorough sportsman, lord Stamford, borne in the van.
Considering his WdaMp's recent run of ill-lack it Is not sur-
prising that so few stood his representative, or that the horse
was quoted at 20 to 1. There was a rumour of an objection on
the ground of foul riding hut nothing came of it. The Abingdon
Stakes which was looked upoo as a good thing for Belly Rom-
a Oily by Newmbister out of Birdhill's dam-rented in favour
of Ninny, who was not en much fancied as WHAM/calk The
followers of public form who stood the Duke of Newcastle's filly,
landed their money, and despite her penalty, she was hacked for
a good deal at sto I. The Handicap Plate, across the fiat, pro-
duced the largest field of the day, indeed of the week, being con-
tested by no fewer than seventeen runners, the Rene being is
favour of Kamen and •Itannetert who was a good favourite.
Clulnivere, who won this identical race last year with five pounds
Tee ran
she meted to-day, woe never looking lonnUable.
The result showed the " talent" to have been singularly
fortunate in their selection, as Python, the second favourite,
was only defeated a head, Butler and Kenyon having a gal-
lant set-to. The quMtette of two-year-olds entered for
the Sweepstakes over the Rowley HIM went to the poet,
Speculum, the property of the lathe of Newcastle, whose
stable has been in rare form during the welt, bad most friends,
and was made a warm favourite at 7 toe. Again were the talent
correct in their reckonings, Mr Arthur Edwards landed the colt
an easy winner by a length. The Sweepstakes of 100 ann. ever
the Ditch Mile followed, the absentee of the four coloured being
Vauban, who was struck out at 2.51 . Taraban, who It
was reported last week had won an extraooridinary trial, and had
I advanced into a mum prominent position in the Derby quota-
, tins, accordingly was chosen as the champion of the backers,
the betting opening at 2to 1, closing at Bto4 on him. while 2to
1 was taken about Whirligig, indite/ to SO about Ithankca. The
favourite laid well up until about a quarter of a mile from
home, when Carroll called upon him, but he was
dead beaten and rolled all over the course like a
; ship is a storm. The Aske Produce Stakes was walked over
for by Smur de Chiusti and the Subscription Mate wen by the
colt by Leamington out of Annie Laurie, who was claimed by
Ma Wood, whose representative, Rase, ran second. The other
• races require no comment. The betting on the Two Thousand
was not very extensive on the course, but at the roonmht the con •
clwaloa of the rams, Plaudit was made the medium of another
&manna." One large speculator loudly offered sto I against
him ; but there were plenty of takers and about £7OO was W-
eeded upon the Richmond colt. The same " operator" also
laid £3,000 to 3.200 spinet him, and fourteen " fifties" were
afterwards taken. Taraban, after his inglorious exhibition, went
to any oe-1,000 to 3 being the nominal quotation Below
