.carMARKET CRAVEN MEETING.
HONDAT.
The Craven Meeting at head-quarters mew *pelted
mere sneveatfully than it did to-day, and there is may
probability of • dallier characterising the week's pap.
sending! on the heath, as, with the *sorption of the Ninth
Biennial Stakes, for those-year.olds, which is looked upon
Is the light of a suinatore Two Thousand, there is little
is the bcoadabeet to keep an the prestige of the g
dedicated to Earl Craven. There 1. the usual ratrigll'oll
handicap plates in the liat,and the speculation involved in
the.. is at all times extensive; but the clashing with
Psneheetewn, which will attract many of the Leading
tnrfites to the sister isle, will tend to detract from the
recess ordinarily attending this meeting. The Biennial
Alluded to is unquestionably the event of the week, and
the result will have ooesiderable influence upon the
betting for the principal three-year old races to be
decided within the next six weeks; and the
movements at the rooms each evening will,
as • consequenoe be eagerly watched. Before
proceeding to she actual business of the day, we may state
that the usual Sunday special which left Shoreditch at
1.25 p.m. was but slenderly patronised, and probably the
lightest ever despatched to the turf metropolis. Rester
Sunday at Newmarket was unusually quiet, and the nume-
rous advertisements of "apartments" told that few
lodgings had been secured, and there was every indication
that • scantily attended Craven Meeting would enrol.
The streets were deserted, and Mr. Carter found his first
evening's Alms at the subscription rooms almost a sinecure,
and the doors were closed shortly after nine o'clock. The
weather on Sunday was fine but chilly, • cold easterly
wind sweeping across the heath ,• and if we are to believe
the prognostications of " Old Moore," we most look for
fitful weather the whole of the week, as the me-
teorological column predicts "sunshine in the morn-
ing', with showery afternoons"—certainly • pleading,
if true, prospect for visitors to Newmarket. The
appearance of the High-street is somewhat marred by
the erection of scaffolding around the residence of Admiral
Eons, which a short time since collared in the centre,
and the lawgiver of the turf was constrained to change his
abode to •Grafton-house during repairs. This is not the
only loss which the gallant admiral has sustained, as his
famous brown cob broke down badly last week. Amateur
touting was carried on this morning, but not with the
usual interest which is perceptible on the mornings pre-
ceding a big rms. The principal stranger at work was The
Earl, whom the Newmarket people fancy very much for
the race on Tuesday. Blue Giwn had not arrived, And •
rumour obtained credence that he had broken down ; but
no reliable information on this point was received, and his
arrival was expected this evening. The report that Suffolk
had lost his action drew numbers to the Baron's team,
which included Restitution and King Alfred. The son of
North Lincoln appeared to pietas the watchers, who were
not loth to state that he would win the race. Eight events
were apportioned for decision to-day, racing commencing at
half-past ono o'clock with the CravenAttakes aortae the fiat,
and terminating at a quarter to five with a 501. plate on the
top of the town. This morning's trains from the Midland
Counties and the metropollsbrought an accession of visitors,
but the ettendance on the heath was still only mall °Diapered
with previous meetings in the Craven week. The weather
was • reflex of that of yesterday, and the occupants of the
broughams on the heath were obliged to wrap up, and it
was altogether too severe for ladies to witness the rams
from open carriages. The Craven Stakes was of • sensa-
tional character, and produced some unpleasantness.
Knight of the Garter was weighed for by Cue-
tance, and the number hoisted. Odds at first of
6 to 4 and then 6 to 5 were laid on " The Knight," but
those odds found ready takers, and Mr. Steel in one bet
laid 300 to 1350 apt Lady Coventry. Tbe number of Knight
of the Garter was, however, taken down after having been
displayed for about five minutes, and it was represented to
Admiral Roue and others that the withdrawal would be a
great hardship to those who had laid apt Lady Coventry,
on whom as much as 15 to 1 was laid when only swo were
left in the race. Mr. Smile at length consented to with-
draw
Sister to Maid Marian, and pay the penalty of 201.
thereby insurred. For this purpose Grimshaw went to the
starting-post with the necessary order ; but a start had
been effected before his arrival, end consequently the race
was run, and resulted precisely as was anticipated. The
somewhat unusual circumstance of Lord Glasgow supply-
ing the favourite occurred in the Free Handicap Sweep-
stakes, 5 to 2 being taken about the Rescued filly,
who, however, did not finish in the front
rank, the race being won by Silenus, who carried
the top weight. The match between Betty and ruff at
1911. difference was au interesting affair, the admirers
match mare winning cleverly by half • length. Restitu-
tion and Moslem alone contested the three-yr-old Sweep-
stake" over the Rowley mile ; and though Brother to
Knight of the Crescent ran most respectablt Epsom
and Croxton-park, Restitution was reported to have made
such great improvement, and said to have beaten Suffolk
in a trial, the talent laid odds on the Baron's colt, Resti-
tution. Dick Turpin gave the Ring • turn in the Handi-
cap Sweepstakes, as did Adamenthea in the Haadicap
Plate of 50 soya. Cater carrying off the Plate of 50 sovs.
for two and three .year-olds, brought to an end • doll and,
on the whole, • very uninteresting day's sport.

Knight of the Garter was weighed for by Custance, and
the number was hoisted simultaneously at the Cesarewitch
stand and the betting ring. The betting opened at 6to 4
on Knight of the Garter, 300 to 250 and 6 to 5 being laid
against Lady Coventry, but in • minute 6 to 5 was laid en
!" the Knight." After having been up 1101130 five minutes
the number of Captain Machelre horse was taken down,
some "arrangement" having been oome to between Mr.
M. Dawson and the Captain. Then as much as 15 to 1 was
laid on Lady Coventry. Immediately the number of " the
Knight" was taken down the hardship which the with-
drawal imposed on the bookmakers who bad laid against
Lady Coventry was represented to the Duke of Newcastle,
Lord Westmorland, Mr. Servile, and Admiral Rom by Mr.
Steel and others who stated that the proceeding was
unfair. Mr. Steel requested Mr. Smile to withdraw hie
representative, and on that gentleman stating that he
would be fined 201. if he did so, Mr. Steel offered to pay
the fine. Mr. Smile consented to withdraw Sister to
Maid Marian, and Jemmy Orimshaw, who was present as
hie heck, was despatched to tell Hammond not to rm.
The pair were started, however, before Jemmy got half
way, and though he called on the riders, they did not stop.
Lady Coventry waited on Sister to Maid Marian till rising
the Bush/alai, where she came away, winning easily by
• length and • half.
