NEWMARICET FIRST SPRING MEETING.
THE TWO THOUSAND DAY.

For several years past the rate for the Two Thousand Guineas
has an unweaned in value and popularity, that ft is Dow no mean
deal's • ~!-• respects to the Derby. '.%ever, perhaps, lu:s the
mown:solo Rowley Mile encounter been invested with such rte. !
oval acct.:meat as on this occasion, and Vauban's year will
long he imLeabered as one of the most remittable in Newmarket
turf annals The mystery which has surronnded several pried-
ecctlior4ta in the bet lug during the la:. few weeks. LAW
Untied, we may almost nay, to the last moment, niaintained its
fa ideating tothience en both bookmakers and backers, who
a:mudded at the aulecriptlon-rooms on Monday night in
in meite force. This being the last legitimate betting
assembly bier to the contest, It ass imagined the
m iculative transactions would he remarkably heavy.
while the impretdon gained 1,7,JU11a that at least out of
the favoiiritei would probably lie unable to stand against the
fierce pencil attack which would be commenced against them.
'flat aurli was not the case our return of the midnight betting
has altc.rly indk ate! and it Is sufficient to remark that
V albeit. Plaudit, and Julius were so equally In demand that it
was almost impirssible to decide which was favourite.
Esentiedb. jail as the rooms were closing, the Dane Miry cols
wield have leen hacked in hundreds at 7 to 3, while that price
WWI iteervit against Plandit and Julius. Marksmen was ea firm
in the quotations as his hest friends could wish, S to 1 being
aiptsd G.c.:veral hundreds of pounds. The weather over
ni.dit pet:used i{ rood unfavourable day, as the rain came down
in torrents, and the wind blew a perfect hurricane. The room-
ing. however. opened delightfully, and though the sky was over-
eat towards noon, and a wet afternoon seemed imminent, a
decided change be the brighter again took place, and the ca.
prieloaa clerk of the weather favoured the sport with a meat
enjoyable time
Dnrinz the settlinz, which was proceeded with with the chute
tertstin Newnan ket businennilke alacrity, some heavy wagers took
place on the 1a o Thousand. Vauban, who had now established
himself lu the pistol premier, wash) greater force than ever, his
bate °whet accepting the big bet mf 2,000 to 1,000 about him.
Ji lion had evidently passed an indifferent night, as Ito 1 could
not tempt his warmest friends. Plaudit would also have been
it the mane plight, but that Mr. Jeeksor, came to his rescue by
Casing the •• leviathan" het of 10,000 to 2,000 from 14Ir Frederick
Johustotia. Knight of the Garter found supporters at 100 to 0,
which was taken several times. The chief feature of the betting,
however. was the rapid advance of Owain Glyndwr, who, alter
being friendless over night at 1,000 to 15. suddenly appeared in
the nontations at 80 to 1, and was heavily hacked down to half
that price, ~n the strength of having won en extraordinary trial
ilaio made ; 1,000 to 30 being also accepted about him for
the Derby le two or three instance..

Numerous trains began to arrive early, heavily freighted with
53 eetatore awl prefeseional raring men. especially the one which
left Gordon at 9.5 . another train from shoreditch, starting a few
livers later, bringing his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales
and a select runnier of noblemen and itentlemeu: the " spee.
cede- fern other parts al e° poured into the towu—a rut 1/1121ti•
te de, who soon wended their way to the Heath. The royal
path were met by a number of hacks at the station, and when
n font& took a circuitous reute by back lanes, in order to avoid
the crowd and crash, to the scene of action, which was reached
by them Just in lime for the first event.. Although the opening
of the proceedings nccurred at the top of the town, a great pro-
Aronp of the assemblage did nob take the trouble to go down,
hut took no Melt position on the most favourable sites for
viewing the grand encounter of the day. The indifference
displayed by these fur the minor affairs was so marked indeed
that while the business men were following their avocations
with their usual Interest in even Insignificant event; those
who came to see the race and none other opened their
le ocheon baskets. and gustily gratified their tuner cravings with
the general racecourse eat and drinkables. As the hour ap-
proached, however, a general excitement began to manifest
Welt which came to • climax little short or madness when the
I:runlets of the starters were hoisted. To go hack to the begin-
ning of the day's imolai:trona racing commenced at 1.35, with a
Handicap Piste over the Criterion courts, which brought out 10
of the 04 animals entered, hut it caused but little general Inte-
rest. 'I o the bookmakers, however, the result was doubtless
piemant, as a great favourite was upset In ltatthysoy, Anion,
Proven. after a Sue race with Aasineboine, winning by a bead
A Plate over the Bosky title, although but of 4150 value, ess
n K considered too minute to engage the attention of lord Lyon,
who pusitively bad barely to canter to defeat his two opponents.
The great event of the week followed, and when the numbere of
the starters were exhibited It was discovered that there were but
two alwritees hum the 10 animals coloured on the card, viz,
No. 4 I itarrhigton and No. 8 (Ferragus . Ploretly half .1 the
ruiners were saddled in the 11rd-cage" paddock, in the
v.etelty of the stand, these consisting of Plums. Van Amlorgh,
V mime, HIMMIZII. Marksman, the Cordell* colt, Lord Hastings,
Ravioli, and swain Glynsiwr. Of these, Vaubau, Marks-
min, and Dwain Glynden4 attracted the lion's share of at.
t ration as they cantered down to the starting post. The re-
ca miler of the competitors, including Plaudit, Julius. and
Knight of the Garter, had the preliminary attentions paid them
at the bitch stables. Lord Glasgow, the Duke of Newcastle, and
Kr. Merry started two horses each. The darn by leddington
colt carried the correct colours of the first-named nobleman,
Daley riding the lordship's second string with a white cap;
J Attu lore the Duke's true colours. Pericles being distinguished
Ith a white cap; while Marksman hod the well-known yellow
• and black. in which eitalloner figured, the Cordele colt with
J cmmyGrimahaw to his back, showing a distinction with a white
belt. The betting underwent no nratertnl change rip to the start,
the quotations being b to .1 apt Vauban, 100 to 30 asst Plaadit,
and 4to I Julius. The Prince of Wales cantered down to the
starting post and Inspected the horses, returning to the stand
in sufficient time to view the race. A false start or two was
occasioned by the fractiousness of Marksman and Julius, the
ithrenanted unfortunately kicking Threader°, which possibly
interfered with the Frenchman's" chance. A splendid start
was eventually effected, Uncles making the running for a quarter
of a mile. Details of the race will be found below, and It
w cold be superfluous lu this place to go fully into the same
! thing : mince It to say that two hundred yards from home
Vented/ bad the race in hand, and although challenged resolutely
by Knight of the Garter and Markman, won very easily by •
cruple of lengths, the two latter being divided a head
only. Plandit gave way at the Bushes Hill, and
J anus was In difficulties In the dip. The success of
lae Duke of Beaufort's colt was imineueely popular, and was
hailed with tremendous cheering. On the first flush of his
victory he war backed at 4 to 1 for the Derby, and in front of the
ROMII2I, after the races 3,000 to 1,000. awl 1,500 to 500, were taken
about hire. The running of Knight of the Garter made Hermit's
Mends jubilant, and 10 to 1 was freely taken about him for the
•• blue rileuid." By the result of the race the Marquis of
Haatiegs wins tt,),000 the Duke of Beaufort and Sir Frederick

to complain of a want of patronage to his second day's meeting,
for although the rough element was conspicuous by its abseuce,
the higher class was fully represented. The ring was not so
fully attended as on Monday, owing to moat of the fraternity
having left town to 'see the " Two Thousand." Speculation
however was telak, and the hoolauaken present had siuple em-

sea lug hod been performed on the garment. Now here
was a pair of trousers partly completed and waited for by a
customer, that was thrown on the hands of the firm, because
un mymau WAS permitted to work upon them. He
wished to know whether he could not have a summons
against the workman who refused to complete the gar-
ment.

Tyrwhitt said it was certainly a singular plea to set
up that because the workman had only taken the first step
towards finishing the trousers—namely, beating them—he
had not worked on them, and therefore was justified in
refusing to finish them. A great many cases of dispute
between workmen and masters had come before that court,
but nothing satisfactory had been arrived at in conse-
quence of the obscurity of the law. There was, however,
an ace, the ith George 1., statute 1, cap. 13 section 6,
which specially applied to London tailors, and which ap-
peared to him to meet aeta. plicant's case. But as upwards
a century had ela since that act had been
passed it was just possib that it had been superseded by
some other act, for it was only on that ground that he
oouldsooraint for the act being so long in abeyance and than
hundreds of decisions had not been given under it. He
did not say be would not grant a summons, on the con-
trary, he was inclined to do so, but before he did this he
would advise the applicant to get some solicitor to look
into the act and to ascertain if it was still in force.
He would be quite ready to grant a case should the matter
require such a step to be taken.
Mr. Brown was much obliged for the advice ; he should
certainly adopt it, as it was not the case of his firm only,
but the case of the master tailors at large.
