NEWMARKET JULY MEETING.-THURSDAY.

The card for this afternoon, barring the Chesterfield
Stakes, which is a species of second edition of the July,
presented a vast contrast to that of yesterday, and it is
clear that the fourth day is a mistake. Still, the desire to
witness the third performance of the quondam Derby
favourite, the Scottish Chief, caused the :attendance to be
both good and fabhionable, and the hotelkeepers declare
they never recollect a better July week. The field for the
Chesterfield Stakes was better than anticipated, and, as the
course was shorter than the July, and involved no ydip, the
Chief's followers rallied, and laid 6to 4 kindly on him. At
starting Little Gentleman led the lot for some ,little way,
when he was passed by Becky Sharpe, Crytheia, and
Washington. These held the lead to the middle of the
plantations, when the crack assumed a more forward posi-
tion, and, shaking off Crytheia's challenge, won cleverly
enough to satisfy his best friends, and over a fiat course we
imagine he will be found more dangerous than he was this
afternoon. When the betting-ring was re-formed he re-
turned to his original price for the Derby, and the only
other movements of note in the market were the upward
tendencies of Anfield for the Goodwood Stakes, and Bar-
chettina for the Liverpool Cup. The Tomato case is con-
sidered as virtually disposed of.

the centre, made the running, followed on tlle extreme left
byHypatia and Crytheia, and on the right by Becky Sharpe,
the favourite, and Washington, the Agra colt and Lord

Gla gow's lying up. In this way they ran into the bottom,

when The Little Gentleman fell lxick, leaving Hypatia with
a slight lead, which she held to half way up the hill, when
Challoner brought the favourite to the front, and with
Becky Sharpe and Crytheia in close attendance, came on
with the running to the brow of the hill, when he drew
away, and won very cleverly by a length, a like distance
separating the second and third. Hypatia was fourth, close
up, Washington fifth, The Little Gentleman sixth, and
Bradamante next. Rouge Crosse was last.
Handicap Plate of 50 sous, for 3-yr-olds and upwards.
