Although the Autumnal Meetings at Worcester, Liver-
pool, Shre,•sbury, and one or two other places, have yet
to be celebrated, the h-gitimate racing season was, to all
intents and purposes, closed this day at Newmarket.
Never perhaps, even in the high and palmy days of the
'ft:if, were more events decided in one week, and seldom,
if ever, were the encounters marked by such stirring and
genuine interest.
Toe details which were daily published have made our
sporting readers familiar with the most prominent fea-
tures of the proceedings, and the influence which the re-
sult of certain races is calculated to exercise on future
speculation is already perceptible.
During the six days 58 races (including deciding heats),
were run, and the aggregate number of horses that went
to the post was 367.

Among the competitors were Yellow Jack, one of the
leading favourites for next year's Derby, and Peter Wil-
kins, who has also been supported to a considerable ex-
tent for that event. The debut of both excited much
curiosity, but their first public performance slightly dis-
appointed expectation. Yellow Jack's running, in par-
ticular, created a prejudice against him, which was, how-
ever, somewhat removed by Secret's easy victory on
Friday. The cause of Peter Wilkins's defeat was attri-
buted to his being a little backward in preparation.
Artillery won the Criterioc Stakes on Monday, and
redeemed the reputation which he held prior to his race
for his Champagne Stakes at Doncaster
The railway arrangements were particularly worthy of
commendation. Special trains were " put on," and no
detail of management that could promo' e the convenience
a❑d comfort of the visitors was neglected.
The race officials scarcely require a word of testimony
as to the able manner in which they discharged their
respective duties.

Mr. Manning conducted the busine93 of the weighing
department with his customary care and punctuality, and
Mr. Hibbord, the starter, accompliAed the difficult task
of getting large fields from the post in fair and compact
order.

The closeness of certain contests rendered the judge's
office must responsible and arduous, but in no instance
was the correctnesf, of 11.1 r. Clark's award disputed.
