NEWMARKET SECOND SPRING MEETING.
Now AAAAAA , TUSIIDAY MONT.
The races to-day have afforded excellent diversion, each of them being
well contested. _

In the course of the evening some very brisk general betting has taken
place on the Derby and Oaks., and, by the subjoined statement, it will be
seen that Panic Is decidedly first favourite by half a point, while The Ge-
neral, who at first was about 7to I, is third at 6to I. With the excep-
tion of Rush's colt the others are nearly as before ; Twatty, after his race,
was brought up, but at long odds. A good deal was done on the Oaks ;
Illgnonnette rose at first a point or two, but this was transitory , In the
course of the evening she relapsed into her previous station in the odds.
Tears Is retrograding. The odds, up to II o'clock this evening, were as
follow

9 to 2 apt Panic (taken)

and S to 1 apt Goddard's.
Colonel Wilson's jumped off, and made very strong running till near
the cords, when Ariel WAR permitted to make a little play, and she got in
hont a trifle; but that lucky Jockey, John Day, who, it seemed, had a
mind to see of what materials she was made, thought it prudent not to
let the joke go too far, and accordingly, when near home, brought his
hone (Colonel Wilson's) up. let loose very neatly, and won his race
cleverly. We should add that It was a fine race, and that the others were
close at hand, and came In in prime style.

and the others by lads.
