SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET ,SECOND OCTOBER ,MEETING.
MONDAY.
With fine weather, a crowded programme, and a Cesare-
witch of about the average amount of interest and specula-
tion attaching to it, the Second October commences fa-
vourably, The trains yesterday and this morning did not
strike us as being so full as usual, but doubtless to-morrow
will make up for any deficiency in that respect.
The Handicap Plate over the,Cesarewitch Course is ge-
nerally a feature in the first day's sport, one or two of the
trial horses figuring therein, and some clue thereby being
obtained as to the form of the leading favourites. The very
easy win of Signalman, of course, gave increassd firmness
to the position of the Woodyates " crack,'; about whom 4 to
1 was not obtainable after the race. In fact, to listen to his
supporters, the great event was as good as over. Jessie de-
feated Mirage very cleverly in the Filly Sweepstakes, and
Vabalathus with odds on him, had, of course, no difficulty
in disposing of Turcos and Barter in the Handicap Stakes
over the T.Y.C. The fielders got their first turn in the 2-
yr-old £5O plate, where the favourite, My Fancy, proved
herself a non-stayer, and Pantaloon, a fine-looking colt of
the Marquis of Hastings, landed the scarlet and white
hoops very cleverly. The 300 soya Sweepstakes, reduced to
a match, was another victory for the Marquis, and a se-
cond triumph for the fielders, and the Handicap Plate fort
and 3-yr-olds gave young Grimshaw an opportunity of
showing that his head and hands were as clear and firm as
before his accident at Monmouth, winning on Verderer,
after a fine set-to with Dawdle, by half a length.
There was very little change in the betting on the great
event—beyond Mail Train advancing to 7 to 2 and Char-
mien coming to 7 to 1 there was scarcely an alteration.
The partisans of the two favourites are both equally san-
guine, and only to-morrow can solve the question.
Handicap Plate of £5O, for 3-yr-olds and upwards. Cesare-
witch Course.

Kromeski and the favourite as his immediate followers,
Ramrod and Belle of the Vale following some half-a-dozen
lengths in their rear. These positions were retained to the
brushes, where the last-named was beaten, and shortly after
was pulled up. Signalman came on with the running to

a bad third.

who won a fine race by a head—two lengths separated the
second and third —a bad fourth.

Tesane, on the upper ground, having slightly the best of it
closely followed by Pantaloon, Edinburgh, Spice, and the
favourite, the rear division, who were headed by Landguard,
Fort, Bella, and Curtain Lecture following close in their
track. On entering the cords Tesane gave evidence of defeat
and half• way down she was headed by Pantaloon and Edin-
burgh, who came together to within a few strides of the
chair, where Judd came with a rush and secured the
judge's fiat by three parts of a length; a length separated
the second and third ; My Fancy was fourth, close up, at
whose girths were Spice, fifth, and Landguard Fort, sixth.
Then came Bella, Hetty, and Wade, and a long way in their

Clairvoyante, with a slight lead, made the running, fol-
lowed by Doeford, Regina, the favourite, and Antoinette
nearly in a line. In these positions they ran to a distance
from home, when the two first named gave way, leaving
Regina in possession of the lead, which she retained to the
cords, where Verderer, on the lower ground, came out, fol-
lowed by Dawdle, the pair finishing a fine race home, the
favourite,who always had the best of it, winning at last by
half a length ; Dawdle defeated Regina by a neck for
second ; Antoinette was fourth, close up; Clairvoyante fifth,
Confederate sixth, and Doefoid next; the last two were
Countersign and Greenland.
