TO TON VIIIVOR OV TWO =MESS.

Ste,— Another inli,:ationtil handicap race has
beep decided, and ones- more Newmarket assumes that
staid, boutinees-like deientment the metropolis of the turf
fa so remarkable for wl (except on grand days) impor-
tant events lane to be decides'. Professionals are talking
over the mutest for the Cesarewitch and the relative
merits &splayed by the principal combatants —bat not as
old worriers fight their battles o'er again, for the mere
love of the thing, but with a view to come ti a conclusion
what will win the Cambndgeshire. Getting through the
"ditch gap"- about i mile from the starting poiut--with-
out !king ground, is such an important matter that the
mil thence is something terrific, and whatever can show
pair enough to get on to the Flat &at is very properly
deemed good to back for the shorter oat in the Houghton
week. At the point named, those going the best of the
Cambridgeshire horses were Warrington, Molest°, Irish
Queen, Special, Cecil, Restitution, and Blue Gown ; but
from the-Bushes—rather over two furlongs from home—
Cecil and Restitution came right away, and rising the hill
for the finish, all was over, my selected Cecil winning
cleverly by a length from the most " saluety" colours
that have run in a great raw for long time. "Baron
Rothschild second " seems to be a standing ride now, and
lam afraid they will not emus better of in the Gain-
bridgrehire, for which event my present fancy is that the
Frenchman will be dangerous as ewer, with Molest° and
Mortemer in their interests, though Warrington, Cecil,
and Monarch of the Olen must have my suffrages also.
After the Middle Park Piet* the interest in the meeting
will very nearly be over, and the fourth day's seed must
be a very weak one, whatever may be made oat of
Friday's. Counting the number of •tens, Thursday's bill
of fare is rather strobe, eleven dishes • -a dreadful
dose to stomach, with novena rainy days threatened by
the appearance of things °warhead ; but the nix plates anti
sweep,' yet to close are of no moment, and it will be a
" duke" if much comae out of the two-year-old races,
for Martinique should beat Crocus in the Bretby, anti
Abstinence in the heavy sweepstakes in which they are
engaged, Athena's sweepstakes being a walk over. The
Wines, in the Newmarket Oaks will centre in the
niertuig of Athena and Formosa again, though there is
no reason to doubt the latter's suoceuti.—l ant. fic.,
