TEE CESAREWITCH MEETING AT NEW-
MARKET.

TO TM, TOTTOB OF TIIIt EITRFAF.
FIB,- One of theme tremilitlous week's rating
that mark the approach of the dote of a season nommentan
to-day, and by Friday evening next some forty or fifty
events will have been decided on Newmarket Heath. The
Jockey Club, notwithstanding the "plunging" days are
over, still cram their programmes with gambling plates
and sweertakm worth pencil,othig beyond what can
Ti with the book and no fewer than twenty-
two of them being in the Second October list ; and this.
ton when there is not the occasion for them that originally
exieted. It was all very well when the Cleurwell and Pren-
dergast, with the Cesarewitch, comprised the only features
in the five days: entertainment, to make capital out of a
1101. Outlands Plate, or a Sweepstakes of 10 or 15 POT..
each with "0" added; but on the Newmarket Derby
and Oaks, the Middle Park Plate of 1,000 SOTS., and other
legitimate affairs. coming into vogue, the old " hay and
corn " items could well have been reduced to a minonty.
The old, old story, however, will have to be repeated a
week hence—that the Newmarket Second October Meet-
ing was much too long: and the eleven events set for
Thursday next, should they all come to a head, will be
enough to sicken even' a I orkshire "addle. Nate is the
number made up for each of the other days, taking rn the
matches—almost certain to be replaced hy others. if they
should fall through— two of which are to come off to-day.
They are between very moderate animals, and it matters
bttlO except to theiroWners whether Dulcet can give 71b to
Lady Dor. or Admiral Itous get another " sweetener"
from his Nutgirl. The spin over the Cesarewitch course
between the ••trinl" horses of the favourites for the
great race of Tueeday will create some interest, as will
also the 1001. Plate for two-yiar olds, and a couple of
NO morn. sweepstakes am of some import, with three
Derby fillies engaged in them. The Orphan is in both,
and but that she was slightly amiss at the close of the last
meeting. when Lady Cecilia ran clean away from her, I
should look to her bringing one off. Still there are Absti-
nence and Crocus for the talent to plunge upon in pre-
ference, and they ought to beat Lady Cecilia and Heather
Bell, the pick of then remaining opponents. Dellailnun
has a walk over in perspeetive, for nothing of Lord Olas.
eowle is among the moderate lot against him in the Oeto-
ber Produce Snarl': and to reduce the afternoon's pro-
seedings to a reasonable length, there is the pleasant
prospect of rearlfeather doing a w.o.- for a3O soya.
