FRIDAY
. _ .

The first October Meeting has terminated this day, having
been very thinly attended. This is generally the case, as
the stakes contended for at this meeting do not have any
influence on subsequent engagements.
Many reasons may be given for the races this week being
so unusually dull, the most probable of which are these :
the many shooting parties in different parts of the king-
dom, the unattractive appearance of the bill of fare, and
the recent termination of the Doncaster Races, which have
in a great measure damped the spirit of speculation in the
sporting classes.
Previous to visiting the race-course this morning, hie
Royal Highness the Duke of York received the loyal ad-
dress of thanks of the Corporation and Colleges of Cam-
bridge, for his conduct on the Catholic ques►ion. The
procession was splendid, and consisted of* the Mayor and
corporate body, and the heads of the colleges, filling six-
teen carriages. The address was received by his Royal
Highness in the Great Hall at Cheveley, aud after return-
ing a suitable answer, his Royal Highness departed for the
race-course, to witness the contest between his Lion and
the Painter (as Lionel Lincoht and Hogarth are called),
on the decision of which his Royal Highness returned to
Cheveley, the noble and hospitable proprietor of which had
provided a grand collation for 100 guests.
-There was only one race to day, but the interest it ex-
cited, and the beautiful style in which it was disputed,
made ample amends for the lack of others.
Match, 200 sous. T. Y. C.

Mr. Greville's Lionel Lincoln, Ost. 3lbs. . . I
Mr. Ilatson's Hogarth, Bst.7lbs. . - 2
This match has excited greater interest and more betting than
any other this week, or perhaps during the year. At the beginning
of betting on the course it was 6 to 4 on Hogarth—it soon after fell
to evens, and at starting was 5 to 4 on him.
They went off' in the 6nest style, neck and neck. at a slashing
rate, and continued so for nearly half a mile, when Hogarth got in
front by about two lengths, and kept so till near the cords; here
llogarth's friends were in full glee, offering heavy odds to any
amount against the Lion—lOU to 5, and other sums at similar odds,
were taken, but when Goodison got within the cords, he brought
his old tactics into play, crept up by degrees, and within a few
lengths made his grand rush, and popped Lionel. in front by a
head, amidst the cheering of hundreds, but to the discomfiture of
many. llogarth was rode in good style by John Day.
