NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING.

THE SUBSCRIPTION ROOM—MONDAY NIGHT.
Never, perhaps, was the eve of the Cambridgeshire so
devoid of interest and importance. Speculation dragged
its slow length along most tediously.
It will be sufficient to state that Crown Pigeon con-

tinued very steady. Veteran gave way half a point,
and a strong disposition was evinced to lay against Flat-
terer. After much " finessing," Pole Star became fixed
at 100 to 6. Flacrow had a downward tendency. Clos-
ing prices :

THE RACE.

After some delay the flags were dropped and the work
began in earnest. Miss Allen jumped off in front, but
the running was almost immediately taken up by Fla-
crow ; Mary, Miss Allen, Robgill, Flatterer, Veteran,
Crown Pigeon We'ham, and two or three others form-
ing the front division, Sultan lying about three lengths
behind Flacrow. At the Duke's Stand Dame Judith,
Vandyke, and Pole Star were seen in advance of Rob-
gill, Flatterer, and Crown Pigeon. At this point Sultan,
full of running, came up on the higher ground, and
whilst his jockey looked round with au air of confidence,
and appeared to feel that his chance was now a .cer-
tainty, he gradually drew to the front. Flacrow, how-
ever, maintained the lead to within 50 yards of the chair.
Sultan then took the command in gallant style, Mary,
Dame Judith, Veteran, and Lady Tatton being his
nearest pursuers. Mary made an admirable effort, but
was beaten easily by a length, an interval of two lengths
separating the second and third. Veteran, a head be-
hind the third, was fourth. The next lot consisted of
Lady Tattoo, Flacrow, Vandyke, Pule Star, Crown
Pigeon, Welber!), Ellermire, Robgill, Old Noll, and
Miss Allen,
