NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING.

MOAT.
The day ribs me of the most enjoyable of the meeting,
the weathee being delightful, and the company large
=th, witbeat Ming crowded, to give the heath an am-
a while the premium of the Prince of
Wales gave a to the proceedings that has never
been enjoyed as the Friday of any previous Houghton
wee. His loyal highness travelled by special train from
and arrived at Newmarket at 12.46.,
stilitripeder Ilijitehe Duke of St. Album and Calltda GM ;
backs were :is waiting, and the party immediately pro-
ended to the heath. The card was • remarkably heavy
IMO, necessitating an early oommencement. The match
between Lord Lyon and Rustic produced but little excite-
ment, as ;the Derby winner quitted his opponent
when be 'liked, and cantered in • winner by
about a hiltadred yards. A very disgraceful disturb-
ance took -;plaee as the judge giving his decision in
the handicap plate for two year-olds, over the T.Y.C.,
in which Marmite won by three parts of a length. Gipsy
Queen war favourite at 5 to 2, and Kenyon being up, the
crowd were atestly on him, and they could barely believe '
ITIL is his ' The two hones were lying very wide
of each o , and Marmite, finishing with a tremendous
rash, head the favourite in the last half-dasen strides ;
hat those were standing at angles, and who judged by
=rayon's • g quietly cie the 60y, declared she could
not have lost, bat the judge's decision was verified by all
Lir"who were competent to express an opinion from
ptisition in which they stood. The Nursery Stakes
brought out 26 runners, and main resulted in the victory
of nridio,,srho carried the " top weight" 9 stone, in-
eluding her 71b. penalty for winning on Thursday. The
result was :highly popular with the gentlemen, who evi-
dently were ell on the winner. The remainder of the
racing calls for no special comments, as a detailed return
is appended.

bead of the ruck. On entering the cords, Maid Marian
and Orne were beaten, and in a few strides ferther Liber-
tine and Problem were in difficulties, and the race was
apparently a match between Gipsy Queen and Scour de
Charith, lying wide of each other; but Arnull sending Mar-
mite along with a terrific rush in the last few strides, won
by three-quarters of a length. Scour de Charite defeated
Gipsy Queen a head for second place, Janus being about a
length in rear fourth, Libertine fifth, Problem sixth, Orne
seventh, and Maid Marian next. The rear division com-
prised May Bell, Rondinella, and Court Card. The judge's

ley, and Nine Elms, 100 to 8 apt My Love, and 100 to 7
agat Flying Send. At the first attempt Mr. Dl‘George
started the large field of horses on very even terms, and
they ran without any perceptible advantage for 200 yards,
when Nine Elute took up the running, closely attended on the
right Hinter to Vedette and Princess Thyra, and on theleft
by Flying Scud, Hippie, and the Gentle Kitty filly, the
most prominent of the others being Viridis and Stokeley,
who were running at the head of a compact body of horses.
Little noteworthy alteration occurred until reaching the
bushes hill, where Kenyon was hard upon the favourite,
and Viridis, on the extreme left, drew up to Hippie. As
they descended the hill Nine Elms swerved towards
Hippie, and drove her on to Viridis, a scrimmage only
being avoided by the expertness of the jockeys. This
episode enabled PrincessThrrn to take a clear lead of Sister
to Vedette (whom Kenyon was riding vigorously) and
Stokeley, but Edwards having again set Viridis going, she
immediately rushed to the front, and won very cleverly by
a length from Stokeley, who finished with a rush, and heat
Princess Thyra by a heed for second place. Hippin was a
good fourth, and so close up with her that it is impossible
to separate them were Sister to Vedette, Flying Scud,
Haider, Nine Elms, and the Gentle Kitty filly. The rear
division comprised Arabs, Vendetta, the Topsail colt, and
Miller's Maid.

by Robin Hood and the favourite, the latter, however, was
beaten as they came down the bushes bill, and although
