The Autumn campaign at " Head Quarters" has
opened with energy and spirit.
As the returns of the races daily published by us
testify, the supply of sport was most satisfactory, and
the proceedings were marked by incidents of much pre-
sent and prospective importance.
On Tuesday King Toni and Boer, who ran first and
second for the Triennial Stakes, came into great force for
the Cesarewitcb.
On Wednesday Black Swan, by the ease with which
she carried off the 50/. Plate, D. 1., advanced herself
considerably in favour for the same event; and Mary
Copp retrieved the laurels which she lost at Doncaster.
To-day the successful running of Rifleman tended to
confirm the opinion which is widely entertained, that the
result of the race for the St. Leger was only another in-
stance of the "glorious uncertainty of the turf."
To testify to the efficient manner in which the busi-
ness of the meeting was conducted in all its details may
be considered an act of supererogation ; we must, how-
ever, award the staff of officials a full measure of praise.
Notwithstanding the long continuance of hot, dry
weather, the ground was in " good going order."
The races to-day commenced at twelve and terminated
at two. At three o'clock a special train left Newmarket
for London. The arrangements were in every respect
complete. By commendable forethought, ample room
war provided for " parties," and, under the personal and
active superintendence of the stationmaster, all bustle
and confusion were prevented. The journey to town
was performed in about two hours and a-half.
