TH, ki.,l)Al.

Though a grant improvement upon Wednesday's, the
weather to-day was not nltogether pleasant, partaking
somewhat ui an April character of alternate showers and
sunshine, with the :addition 01 a hitter wintry wind. The
attendance of the general public was not so large, but
there was no diminution of the turf hal,iletix and its aristo-
cratic supporters,. With a heavy card to get through,
racing commenced at ludflust eleven o'clock with a Handi-
cap Sweepstakes of ri soya each,*over the L.I. course. A
Belt of live started, and Dalmatian, upon the strength of
his recent victors ever a long distance, was, in conjunction
with sealskin, made favourite, but the pair were unable
to give the weight away to the hitherto underrated
Stephen Langton, who, with a scope of ground, can take
his own part in pretty good company, and who
won easily hen bythree lengths. The match
between The Palmsrand one of Lord Glasgow's name-
less colts having fallen through. a very interesting race
came next fordecision betweeu Pace and Athena. and the
talent were at fault which to give the preference to,
wherefore the betting veered from one to the other. The
Duke of Newcastle's colt, boweeer, had little difficulty in
disposing ..f the Danebury clinker, for when Daley called
'upon hin, he shot out like a bullet, and nearly walked in,
which is likely to make him a warm winter favourite for
the Derby. The Newmarket Oaks, the chief event of the
day. resulted in a great surprise. Seville, the favourite,
was backed as if the race were over, the odds of 7 to 4
being laid on her with remarkable avidity, while the win.
ner's price of 19 to 1 in a field of half a dozen went beg-
ging everywhere. That the sew femme could stay was
doubted by all judges of racing, and that she could carry
anything like equal weights with Seville or Ravioli, after
her wretched performances of late, in one of which Bounce-
away gave her 9711 u and bent her, was not dreamt
of by the most sanguine believer in outsiders. She
won, however, with something to spare, to the horror Red
disgust of those who had laid the odds oblate tuarquis's filly.
Silenas, with Kcuyon up, brought another slice of luck to
theiDuke of Newcastle, who has been in great form
throughout the meeting with the violet and white hoops.
In the Two-yr-old Handicap Sweepstakes was exem-
plified what weight will do in bringing horses together, as
the winner Choral, receiving 34 all but 41b from The
Parson, only just managed to defeat him by a bead, a per.
for:mance which must give the latter some pretensions to
favour as an outsider for neat year's Derby. The lucky
duke before-named carried off another sweepstakes with
Sweet Anne, whose feat in beating Paris to a standstill,
at a differeuce of only 31b, upset a great ninny calculations,
as it was generally considered the next thing to an
impossibility. Rhine Wine, who was backed as a
real good thing by his party, proved their judg-
ment correct by easily winning the Sweepstakes of 10
soya, for 2-yr-olds. The Handicap Plate of 110 soya.
produced a capital field and somewhat extended specula-
tion, though Vespasian cone in for the lion's share of the
latter. The winner was backed by a few who kuow what
a good horse he is over a mile, but the majority had thrown
him over because he had failed to land their money in the
race won by Silenus, but for which circumstance no doubt
he would have been a rattling favourite. Covey rode him
with admirable judgment, laid is improving so much in
every way as a horseman that his services bid fair to be in
great request. Unquestionably the most attractive item of
the card was the second meeting of Friponnier and Hermit.
this time with a difference of 21b in the hatter's favour.
Friponnier emerged from the enclosure he looked
so handsome, splendid creature that he is. His coat shone
like satin, and its bright chestnut colour made a beautiful
contrast to the " Mexican blue" jacket of his jockey.
Every eye was turned upon him as he walked majesti-
cally past the Stand, and certainly a finer piece of living
machinery was never looked upon. Hermit was saddled
up at the other end of the course, Custance cantering
down on his cob to mount him. The betting upon the re-
sult was almost at a standstill, for though the speculative
fraternity were anxious to " take odds," the gentlemen
did not know what to do exactly, even Hermit's owner
refusing to listen to the stentorian offers of the
metallicians. One of them declared to Mr. Chaplin
emphatically that if his horse was " brought along"
be would win, but the Lincolnshire squire was
by no means so sanguine. The race was never in doubt
for those who laid odds on Friponuier, and he actually did
nothing more than canter for the last quarter of a mile,
winning easily by ten lengths, which might have been
forty if wished. While this undoubtedly proves Mr.
Pryor's colt to be one of the best of his year, some allow-
ance must be made for Hermit, who did not look himself.
and it was almost a pity to have brought him out. Soon
after Friponnier paased the post a well-known leviathan
called out fur 10 " monkies " to one about him for the
Cambridgeshire, but was not accommodated. A very fine
struggle ensued in the Itretby Stakes, coming at first to a
dead-beat between Mysotis sad Pearlfeather, and ending
in the defeat of the latter eventually. Speculum, with 2
to 1 on him, achieved another " Newcastle ' victory, show-
ing fine staying powers. Full particulars of the racing
