LEWES SPRING MEETING.—WEDNZSDAY.
Compared with yesterday the weather to-day was highly
favourable, yet still the pie was too strong to be pleasant,
and evidently had a detrimental effect upon the attend-
ance, which was by no means equal to that of Tuesday.
In every other respect there was nothing to complain of,
as the sport decided was of a fair character, and led to
plenty of speculation ; but there was a preponderance of
layers, few of yesterday's aristocratic supporters being
present. The opening event—the Innkeepers' Plate--pro-
duced the largest field of the day, beinf contested by no
fewer than sixteen runners, of whim Serutgapatam carried
the top weight, and a lot of the " talent's " money which
he landed, winning very easily from the Rambling Katie
filly and Adjutant. Hammerton scored his maiden victory
in the sweepstakes for horses which have never won 50f.,
defeating Cheddinglon and two others.
The Juvenile Stakes brought out eight runners, and was
won rather easily by the Tarragona filly. For the Spring
Handicap there was the respectable field of 15 runners,
and of these Leases—trained on the downs—was made the
favourite, but the handicap kept tip its charter for the
defeat of favourites, and was won by The Vampire—a
half-bred horse by Vengeance—from Hargrave. Pevensey,
bad he incurred no penalty fur his success at Eastbourne,
might have been nearer the winner, but the actual result
would have been the same. Muezzin carried the Duke of
Hamilton's colours into the third place. The favourite
was among the leading lot, as was also Python, until half
a mile from home, when they both retired and finished
among the last. Kr. Thellusson supplied the favourite
for the nest race in Festival, who won the Handicap Sell-
lug Stakes, and backers were again successful in the suc-
ceeding event, the Selling Plata, which was won by Little
Coates, the day's sport concluding with the Helier Skelter
Handicap, which eeed on the course, Traveller winning
after a tine race. A return of the =ruling is appended :
