commendation having

ft
Ninnyhammer, the winner. I have been more than
usually successful this meeting in placing the horses,
having put the first and second in their proper situa-
tions for the Royal Stakes—the first, second, and third,
for the Clearwell ; and yesterday, with two darkies
starting, placed the four runners in their actual posi-
tions for th© 501. Sweepstakes. For this last-named
stake the favourite, Alarm colt, with the Beiram filly
in attendance, cut out the work to the cords; where
Nicotine took up the running, was not afterwards
headed, and won by half a length.
In the race for the 15 Sovs. Handicap, Mr. Mare's
filly by Touchstone, out of Kitty of Coleraine, with
7st 9lb up, took the load at starting, made
all the running, and won cleverly by a length.
Pug Orrock, with the top, and rather stiffish. weight of
Sat 91b up, obtained the second place from Pride, 7st 9lb,
by a clear length. This running of Pug Orrock's,
conceding 14ibs to the first and third, taken in connexion
with the immense weight the Reiver can give him, at
once proves the latter's race at Doncaster to be a blunder
of some sort; as it is well known that this said Pug
Orrock—who has been running, off and on, very fair
throughout the season—is not within one stone of the
quondam crack for the Derby. I advise my readers to
keep the Reiver in their mina's eye for the great race of
next year.
The Town Plate was won without an effort by Morn-
ing Star, who came in solus, being at least two dozen
lengths a head of Derby; who, in his turn, was lengths
ahead of Salopian, the third and last horse.
In the race ror the 10 Sovs. Handicap, Exeter conceded
2 yrs end 101 b to Herbert, and won by a short length.
Telescope, who received a stone of the winner, was an in-
different third. Exeter's running of late has shown a
wonderful improvement upon his form of last year and
this spring.
The Bedford Stakes afforded a good betting race to
the Ring, as four horses were backed, and the odds
against three of them were 5 to 2, and the favourite,
Ninnyhammer, 2 to 1; which proves that the Talent
were in great doubt as to which was the best of the four.
Gossip was off first, and led the way to the turn of the
lands, where Ninnyhammer took second place, and
shortly afterwards went to the head of Gossip, raced
with her to the end, winning very cleverly by a length.
Nicotine and Vaultress stuck to one another throughout
the race, end finished in the third and fourth places.
Vest was beaten at the turn of the lands, and occupied
the last place at the summing up.
Hambletonian won the Oatlands in very clever style
by half a length from Apostate. Morning Star was a
bad third; and the others out of the race early.
It was currently reported yesterday that Filbert had
been dosed previously to his race on Tuesday by one of
Lord Exeter's stable lads.

and name.
Match, 100, h ft. D.M. Stockwell will receive for-
feit from Nabob.
Match, 200, h ft, A.F., between Hothorpe and Knight
of the Garter, is, I believe, not likely to come off.
Match, 200, b ft. C.C. Ilex, in all probability, will
just beat Hugo.
Match, 200, h ft. T.Y.C. Filly by Don John, out of
Miss Sarah, is just good enough, I think, to beat the colt
by Cotherstoue, out of Lucy Banks.
The field for the Prendergast Stukes in all likelihood
will consist of the following:—Cheddar, Pharold, Stone
Plover, Estrella, and Sittingbourne. I can find no rea-
son why I should alter my original selection; therefore,
for the winner I still look to CHEDDAR, expecting to see
a good rabe for second place between the other four,
Estrella probably having the best of it, Sittingbourne
and Pharold filling the third and fourth places, Stone
Plover last.
The betting on the Prendergast in town this morning
makes Estrella and Sittingbourne equal favourites at
6to 4, Cheddar being quoted at 2 to 1. 6 to 1 each
agst Pharold and Stone Plover.—l am, Sir, &c.,

NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.

THE CESAREWITCH.—FURTHER PARTICULARS.
The race commenced precisely at the time mentioned
in the card (a quarter before four), Weathergage being
the first to show in the van; he was pulled back, how-
ever, after he had gone a few strides, and the running
taken up by Joe Miller, followed by Merryman. Lady
Arayott, Phlegm, King Pepin, Mary Ann, and Knight
of the Shire, the heavy weights and Richard Primmer
lying in the rear. Joe Miller kept his place to the road
before reaching the ditch. where he was beaten, and the
lead was taken by Lady Amyott, who, in coming through
the gap, bore considerably to the left, taking four or five
other light weights with her. This left the Knight of the
Garter in front, having Weathergage and Phlegm closely
laid up, next to whom were Knight of the Shire, Little
Davie, Mr. Morris's two, Lady Evelyn, Ariosto, and
one or two others, At the T.Y.C. post the Knight of
the Garter disappeared, and at the bushes, although In-
dian Warrior, Little Davie, and Knight of the Shire
were forward, the race was left to Weathergage and Lady
Evelyn, the latter, who was wide of her opponent on the
left and looking like a winner, having the lead. In the
bottom, however, the horse headed her, and after a good
race won by a half a length; the Knight of the Shire
finished a bad third, Indian Warrior next, Little Davie
fifth, and Kingston sixth. The race was run in 4 min.
7beC. The parties connected with Weathergage and
his trial horse, Joe Miller, win large stakes; the gentle-
men, with few exceptions, are losers.
