NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING.

The weather underwent a great change on Wednesday
evening, and on Thursday it was so cold that visitors to the
Heath required their overcoats. Notwithstanding the
threatening appearance of the clouds, the attendance on the
One Thousand day, though it would bear no comparison to
Tuesday, was quite equal to that of previous years, and
greatly in excess of that of any ether day excepting the
Two Thousand. After the closing of the Telegraph office on
Wednesday night, some important changes occurred in the
betting on the One. Thousand, Chester Cup, and Derby. For
the first-mentioned race Gazza Ladra finished decidedly
favourite, as little as 4 to 1 being booked at the close, Mas-
querade and Sardinia finding supporters at 6 to 1, whilst
Molly Carew declined to 7 to 1, and Tooi Tooi to 100 to 8,
Blair Athol was backed for the Derby to win upwards of
£26,000 at all prices, from 28 to 1 down to 13 to 1, and
Bacchus was brought from the outside price of 25 to 1
to 16 to 1, at which latter price he was freely sup-
ported for the Chester Cup, and Little Stag at 100 to
8, and Oldminister at 20 to 1, also received substantial
support for the Rhoodee event. Prior to moving for
the Heath this morning, speculation upon the One
Thousand was carried on with animation. Masquerade re-
turned to first favourite, Gazza Ladra being driven to 6 to
1, whilst 6 to 1 was taken about Sardinia, 7 to 1 about Sis-
ter to Drake, 7 to 1 offered agst Molly Carew, 10 to 1 ago
Tooi Tooi, and 100 to 8 agst Tomato. Beyond several 100's
to 6 and 100's to 7 being accepted about Beckey Sharpe,
nothing of the outside lot were supported. The morning
speculation on the Chester Cup consisted of 500 to 20 each
agst Tippler and My Mary (taken), whilst the highest offer
agst Bacchus was 100 to 8. The card for this day com
prised eight races inclusive of a match, and the overnight
entries were as numerous as any of the preceding days, as
our return given below will indicate. Commencing at 1.30
and concluding at 6 o'clock, there was a busy afternoon pro-
vided for the " metallicians," and betting on the various
events to decide was most spirited, more particularly on the
principal contest, which was appointed for three o'clock. As
already mentioned, the crowd was by no means so great as
on 2 uesday , nevertheless there was a very large assemblage
of spectators, and double rows of carriages, equestrians,and
pedestrians lined each side of thp ropes, and the "run in."
Unlike the glorious weather of Tuesday, the atmosphere
continued cloudy and cold during the sport, except towards
the conclusion, when the sun broke out ; but it was only a
transient gleam, and the cold gloom returned. The racing
of the day admits of lhtlo comment, as, with the exception
of the One Thousand, the events were of an ordinary cha-
racter. The success of Vivid, however, in the Plate of £lOO
over the Rowley Mile, beating such clippers as Wingrave,
Bathilde, Caroline, (lemma, so., caused fresh irritation
among the backers of the French fll:y for the Two Thou-
sand ; as prior to the race on Tuesday it had been con-
stantly asserted that Fills de r Air could accomplish won-
ders with Vivid. It is a remarkable fact, but Jenning's
favourites never win when supported by the
public.
The One Thousand Guineas created a deal of interest
among the speculators, and in Use betting ring the New-
market Oaks evidently gave rise to some spispirtedspecula-
tion. Little alteration was noticeable in the tone of the
market at the finish. Sardinia left off favourite at 7 to 2,
5 to I was booked about Masquerade and MollyCarew,
who were in favour, and towards the close advanced to 6 to
1, and in certain cases less odds were accepted. Tomato
ranked next, but about her as much as 10 to 1 could always
be obtained, and being by no means hcsvity supported, she
was a comparative outsider. The race was preceded by
several failures, caused chiefly by tbo intractability of Gazza
Ladra and Goldyloeks; indeed the latter, ltho possesses a
notorious temper, once or twice bolted out of the course.
Every feature of the race will be found described below, i;:kt
we may chronicle with satisfaction the fact that Baron
Rothschild's two fillies, Tomato and Breeze, finished first
and second, which was received with as many demonstra-
tions of enthusiasm as General Peel's victory, the Baron
being one of the most princely supporters of Newmarket
and a lover of the national peatime in all its purity and dig-
nity. Singularly enough, in the One Thousand last year
Lord Stamford achieved a parallel triumph, his lorill
dhip's
fillies, Lady Augusta and Flying Fish, having it w be
' remembered finished first and second. The favourites were
thoroughly beaten, and we believe there was no excuse for
their defeat except Molly Carew's, as Harry Grimshaw, her
jockey, alleged that Masquerade cannoned against her, and
w
that upwards of four lengths were lost thereby. The ra cingas concluded at 5 o'clock, and the company left the h eath
cold ad cheerless, agd to add to the dimgronons, t )ajot

' clouds of fine dust had to be ridden through on the return
into the town. The following are details of the running :

General Butler led for half a mile, after which the run-
ning was taken up by Caroline, who on each side was
closely attended by Gemma, Bathilde, Moulsey, Wingrave,
and Vivid ; General Butler, Miss Armstrong, and Lady
Mary bringing up the rear. In the Abingdon Mile bottom
(lemma, Bathilde, Wingrave, and Vivid closed with Caro-
line, and entering the cords, Bathilde held a clear lead ; but
half-way up, Vivid, the moment she was extended, went to
the front and won by a length; a neck separated the second
and third, Gemma, Moulsey, and Caroline being fourth,
fifth, and sixth, close up; Miss Armstrong was seventh,
General Butler eighth, and Lady Mary last, these latter
three being beaten off.

THE DERBY,

The CHAIRMAN said there were altogether 15 bills
—four only of wlich, however, were promoted by
the company. The other 11 were introduced by
other companies, and in which provisions were con-
tained conferring powers on or having clauses
afftcting the London and South-Western Company.
Only four of the bills could be dealt with by the
meeting, as the remainder were not ready.
Mr. Burcham, the company's solicitor, then read
the heads of a bill to authorise the company to make
A railway from Kensington to Richmond, and junc-
tion lines communicating with the Hammersmith
and City Railway and the North and South-Western
Junction Railways, and to raise Umber moneys
and to authorise arrangements.
_

lIERErATI wished to know whether the
proposed new lines were calculated to bring them
into collision with other companies.

25 to 1 apt Daragab (taken)

The CHAIRMAN said no, but that on the contrary
they were calculated to avert any such eventgality.
He then proposed the approval of the bill, and
Mr. DUTTON having seconded it, it was carried
unanimously.
Mr. Burcham then recited the preamble and
clauses of the second bill, which was a bill for
authorising the company to make a railway from
Chertsey to the Staines and Wokingham Railway
at Egham, and for other purposes.
Mr. HITCHINS aeconded the approval of the bill,
and it was carried unanimously.
The next bill was promoted by another company,
to authorise certain deviations from the Oakhamp•
ton lines, and to raise further moneys.
Capt. JOHNSON seconded the approval of the bill,
and it was carried unanimously. _

The last bill was to authorise the West London
Docks and Warehouses Company to execute further
works and to make arrangements with other com-
panies to raise further money.
Mr. MORTIMER seconded the approval of the bill,
and it was carried unanimously. _

The meeting then adjourned to the 12th of May.

EAST INDIAN.

The 17th annual meeting of this company was
held yesterday at the London Tavern ; Mr. R. W.
Crawford, M.P., in the chair.
The report was taken as read.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, said it
was the 20th occasion on which it had been his pri-
vilege and duty to preside at their general meetings,
It was a great gratification to him to be able to state
that the lino from Calcutta to Delhi was open for
traffic with the exception of the bridge over the
Jumna at Allahabad. They could now take pas-
sengers over their line from Calcutta to Delhi and
vice versa, a distance of 1,020 miles. The progress
tbey had made in the works during the past fire
years had boen very considerable ; they had no
means of comparing the vast works on their line
with those in any other country. He thought every
one must admit that notwithstanding the various
difficulties and obstructions thrown in their way
from time to time, the progress they had made
was very satisfactory. They mid not compare the
works of any line in England either for magnitude
or length of continuous line with their E tat Indian
line, There was not a lino on any part of the eon-
