NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER. MEETING.

TUISDAT.

- -
What is termed the autumnal campaign was commenced
to-day at Newmarket, when the first of the autumnal
handicapa was decided. Yesterday's arrivals at New-
market did not promise a large meeting, and the attend-
ance on the heath to-day was perhaps the smallest ever
witnes3ol on the opening day of a "First October Meet-
ing," whilst the card, if it had been deprived of the t: rand
Duke Michael Stakes and the Eastern Railway Handicap,
would have been of an uneventful description, notwith-
standing the number of races apportioned for the com-
mencement of the week. The weather was cold, a piercing
wind driving the thistledown across the heath in abund-
ance. and visitor* were obliged, owing to the biting air, to
seek shelter in their broughams, or have recourse to their
overcoats. As already intimated, the attendance was
the Newmarket people probably bring de-
tiered from venturing out in numbers in con-
sequence of the weather. When the sun shone,
however, later in the day, the sport was
thoroughly enjoyable. Inclusive of matches the card
contained no fewer than 14 races, but some of the
matches ended in forfeits, so that there was now and
then a lull in the proceedings, which however was not
taken advantage of for speculating on the future, and
the only betting which did take place was prompted by
the victory of Speculum, the stable-companion of
Honesty, who advanced a little, but again seceded after
the defeat of Pericles in the Great Eastern Handicap.
The victory of Lord Westmorland's colt had, of course,
the effect of causing inquiries to be made about Thalia,
whom her noble owner supported to some extent at the
price quoted below. Frmonnier's victory over Hermit,
Hippie, and Julius, won the means of introducing the
=ale of the sea of Chevalier d'lndustrie into the quota-
tions for the Cambridgeshire, 1,000 to 30 being taken
three times about him. The Crest Eastern Rail-
way Handicap, contrary to all anticipation pro-
duced only a dozen runners from the fifty-five
on the card. Up to Monday Bismarck enjoyed
the public favour, but on the strength of a report that he
and the others in Matthew Dawson's stable had been
beaten in the trial by Pericles, the latter became the
favourite, and remained ea to the close. He, however,
sustained an easy defeat from Mistletoe, the second
favourite, and was beaten a neck by Water Cure. The
Hopeful Stakes was an • any victory for Athena, but the
most interesting contest of the day, wax between the four
oracles, the winner of the Derby endeavouring to give
Hippia, the winner of the Oaks, 111 b., and 71b. each to
Julius and Friponnier. This, however, he failed to do,
being beaten somewhat easily by Friponnier, although he
beat Hippies couple of lengths, and Julius, who was only
• head behind him in the St. Leger, • long way. DetaiL

with a slight lead of the Buckenham's dam filly, the
favourite, and Dalesman, the latter lying wide on the left.
In this order they ran till descending the Bushes hill
where the favourite closed with Philosopher, the pair
finishing a close race home, but Speculum, who always had
the best of it, won rather cleverly by a head. Dalesman
was a bad third, the Buckenhiun's dam filly fourth, Guy-
mein fifth, and Purveyor trotted in last. The Miss Stam-
ford filly bolted out of the course immediately after
Muting.

vance, having • slight lead of Mistletoe, Pericles and
Bounomwey on the lower ground, the Maid of MAIM=
filly and Leases being wide on the right, Sir Oliver and
Kingsley being next in the centre of the course. The first
of the leading division to compound was Bouninaway, the
others maintaining the positions noted above until
reaching the entrance to the cords, where Mistletoe
beaded Water Cure and Although both Butler and
Fortnm:l rode with great determination, Mistletoe
won somewhat easily by half-a-length from Water
Cure, who defeated the favourite a neck only for the " se.
eond pony." Leases, wide en the right, finished • good
fourth, barely • head in advance of Kingsley and Sir
Oliver, who were respectively fifth and sixth. Close up
with these were the Maid of Mamba= filly, seventh, Mount

moderate pace, attended on the right by Hermit and on
the left by Julius, Friponnier lying about two lengths in
rear of the Duke of Newcastle'. colt. Without any im.
pruvement in the pace they reached the Bushes Hill,
where Julius was beaten, and as they descended the hill
Hippie, who appeared to be winning easily, suddenly gave
way, leaving the Derby winner with the lead. His adran-
=ed, however, was but momentary, as the instant French
tmon Friponnier, the slashing bon of Chevalier
d'lndustne challenged Hermit, who was immediately in
difficulties, Mr. hyor's colt winning easily by a length.
