NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETLNG.

isto•e.
The five days' racing at " headquarters" was concluded
to-day. The weather was again fine ; indeed, the whole
of the week's racing has been favoured with the most
unexeeptionable weather, the only drawback being the
dust,whic hwas whirled 'cross the heath in blinding clouds.
The authorities followed the course usually adopted on
Fridays, and arranged for the commencement of the racing
at 11.45, so that it night be concluded before 3 o'clock,
thus enabling visitors from London to get home early.
The railway traffic during. the week has been unpreoe-
dented
; and post credit is due to the officials for the
regulari with which the various triune were despatched.
Mr. Fisher's arrangements at Cambridge, and Mr.
Heavens's at Newmarket—two of the chief points on the
line—have been quite adequate to the requirements of the
week ; and those gentlemen are deserving of every praise
for the manner in which the business has been conducted.
The racing to-day, with the exception of one or
two events, was uninteresting, and had the card been
deprived of the Newmarket Derby and the Prender-
gast Stakes, the sport would not have been above
plating form. The attendance was smaller than on
any previous day during the week. For the Newmarket
Derby four only went to the post. Lothario, on amount
of hia taring a seven pound allowance, was
fancied, but Knight of the Crescent, who was made the
favourite, had no difficulty in disposing of hie opponents.
Janitor, after winning the seventy son plate, was claimed
by Mr. T. Cliff. The only other important race was the
Prendergrast Stakes, for which seven went to the poet.
Knight of the Garter was installed favourite, and hacked
for a good deal of money ; while Pericles, who won easily,
was the outsider in the betting. The Rake, in corm
To -
mos of Knight of the Gaiter's defeat, receded a point
in the Derby quotations. The only feature in the Cam-
bridgeshire betting was the amount of genuine support
awarded to Ambition. The other quotations are appended
with the day's running.
