NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MUTING.
FRIDAY.
The " First October " meeting was conehided
guider very favourable auspices, the weather being delig
t-
. folly fine, and the attendance though somewhat sheet* of
ale previous days, being quite up to the average of the
• ennelodiag day. The card contained no leas than ten
woes, inclusive of matches, the first being set down
for decision at 12 o'clock and the last at 3.55, so to to
• atalio the various divisions to get home early. On Thurs-
day night the only feature at the rooms was the retrogres-
• aim of Chepstow for the Cesarewitch and the advancement
of Bradamante to " the pride of place." The day'
@port was not very eventful, the card being chiefly made
up of the " sweepstakes " events, for which Newmarket is
famous. The Duke of York, although starting at a com-
paratively outride price for the October Handicap, was
hacked for a good deal of money, and proved anything
but a turn up fcr the bookmakers. The race was won
eerily enough, and the favourite, Split the Difference, who
was backed for pounds, shillinp, and pence, made but a
awry exhibition of himself. Details of the running are
appended.

meet prominent were Bramah, Anti-Macassar, Plutus, and
Broomielaw. but the crushing weight on Mr. Chaplin's
horse told its tale before going. 200 yards, and the rase
jacket soon joined the rear division. Redan maintained
his lead till reaching the Bushes Hill, where the non-stay-
big son of Artillery died away, Split the Difference being
left with a slight lead. In the dip the favourite was going'
so well, with Actres anti Duke of York in close attendance,
that he appeared to have the race in hand' but Duke of

running on the whip hand of Split the Difference, who
unmistakeably " cut it when a final effort was required,
and allowed Aches and the " turned-loose" Lively to join

unavailing to reach Duke of York, who won easily by two
lengths. Ackea obtained " the pony " for second horse by
