NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING•

NERMARIIIST. SUNDAY AFTERNON, 3 o'Cl.oes.
The present is eepected to be quite as numerously attended, and
'reductive of as line sport, as the Craven Meeting; there being, be-
e/des many other important ones, four great betting stakes. viz.—
Tim Clarendon (In-morrow) • the 2000 Guineas Stakes (Tuesday):
the GM Guineas Stakes (ThUrsday) ; and the Nawmsrket Stakes
(Pride') ; in all of which favourites for the Derby and Oaks come
eut—mme of them for the first time. The Sloaient has been and is
lest favourite for the Clarendon, in preference to Monarch (who
Leads him for the Derby), it betng a received opinion amongst those
who are allowed to be good judges, that he can run the distance
(the D. M.—a miles better thin a Derby length, and it is far from
improbable, should lie beat Monarch, that the latter will not be far
MnMlaed in the odds for the Derby, being a fine powerful colt.
teed considered best qualified for the Epsom course, which, it will
intennenibered, is a mile and a half, with a trying hill. The
flat of last year's race tile the Derby is conclusive that winners
at Newmarket are not safe for the Derby and Oaks; for Rufus, who
till then had earned all before him, was best easily by Middleton,
of whom nothing was known as a winner, and Tontine ran second
ro a thing who was defeated with ease at Ascot and other places.
le will not be st all surprising if some outridtr shonld this year die-
awnilt the Solomons of the turf, and bear off the hell from the flyers ;
such things have happened more than once. 31onarch is not ex-
pected tostart fur the Newmarket Stakes.
The 1000 Guineas Stakes is expected to afford a good criterion
tot betting, as Butterfly, Problem, and Parapluie are in it ; the de-
claim. is looked for with anxiety. None but middling and outside
tune, start for the 2000 tininess Stakes.

In the match between Middleton and Rerigauntlet, appointed for
to-morrow, the former is expected to pay forfeit ; nor will he, it is
said, run for the stakes in which he is entered for Vi"cdoeaday.
Two King's Plates w,ll be run for this week (Tueaday and
Thursday) by some crack horses; they are the first of the year.
The cup may be challenged for to-morrow, to be run for over

the lodgings are taken, and the Rutland. is full. Carriages are
tolling in every minute.
The Heath and Exercise Ground was well attended this morning
the usual visitants, to witness the homes take their customary
tllops. A great many were our, and seemed in good order, with
Vie eivention of a few, of which number was honest Master Sligo,
who, through a sprain in taking his gallops two or three &ye ago,
wig not be able to start to-morrow in the sweepstakes of DM
each; consequently lined Anson pars forfeit, as well as General
Orosycnot for Pollio, who has beaten down ; the succosnikea,
therefore, in each he is entered, will evidently be won by Swiss
Guide, the Seagrove colt having but just arrived, and had only
three days' training. 31r. Dilly has sent Triumph and l'riticulo
from Newmarket.

The betting has not been very brisk, but what him been done
was on the stakes for to-morrow, and but little said about the Dcrby
and Oaks. The St. Leger was scarcely mentioned, indeed little
has been said about it for a considerable period. The great speeu-
I.tors are lying by fur the York Spring !fleeting. •hith will be
highly important, and very influential on the St. Leger odds, an
hotly all the favourites see deeply engaged. It is expected to be
• !erostkably interesting Meeting.
