YESTERDAY'S RACING AT NEWMARKET,
WITH A GLANCE AT NEXT WEEK'S SPORT.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sia,—Wingenund, who, some twelve months since,
was considered to have a chance for the past Derby, was
yesterday defeated with such ease by Ben Nevis in the
race for the Cracow Stales that 101 b. would not have
brought them together. This small mountain of horse-
flesh will give Mr. Batson a very good chance of winning
some of the sweet morsels next year.
For the 10 Sovs Sweepstakes over the T.Y.C. the
ring made sure that Lord W. Poulett's Guava was a cer-
tainty, and laid 2 to 1 on him against his field accordingly.
She went off with the lead, and kept it until half way up
the distance, when she had had enough of it; Luxurious
—who had been making a waiting race of it—then went
in front with Warbler in close attendance, the former
winning by half a length, and the latter beating Desde-
mona for second place by a length. The crack was a
bad fourth and last,

The 10 Sovs. Stakes over the first half of the Ab. M.
afforded the spectator's a splendid race between three—
Cock Pheasant, Assault colt, and Agora filly—the
first named winning in the last atrido by a neck; and the
Assault colt (who had Butler up) only obtaining the
second place from the filly by a heed. Longstock Lass,
Rage, Infidelity colt, and Admiral Tschitichekoff (our
rips) were beaten early.
Lapidist has at last came out as a winner, having
made all the runnilg and wo❑ the 10 Says. Sweepstakes
over the first half of the Al,. M. by half a length; Gold
Dust just beating Old Rowley a head for second place.
From this running we rads: naturally deduce the fact
that Lapidist is only suited to short distances.
Khadidja gave nine pounds (and could have made it
fifteen) and a beating to Mary Ann in the 10 Sovs.
Sweepstakes. D.M.
The Bretby Stakes did not come off in favour of the
one I selected_ It seems the stable accounts concerning
her (Rosalind filly) were drawn in a much too favour-
able light, as the g,:_ntic rise at the finish completely
settled her; she, ho4ever, in conjunction with Sylphice,
cut out the work to the bushes, and, after lying in front
to the cords, retired. Glenavon came with a rush a few
yards from the chair, and beat Osbaldeston's half pre-
pared filly by a neck; Miss Tennyson winning the third
place.

The 1001. Plate over the Flat, was carried off wry
cleverly by Lord Chesterfield's Gladiole. 5 yrs, 6st 101 b,
by a length; Garforth, 5 yrs, Bst 21b, beating Beauclerc,
aged, 7st 71b, by a couple of lengths for second place,
Vivandiere, 4 yrs, Est 101 b, finishing an indifferent
fourth.

Belgravia, met with a severe accident yesterday, and,
it is supposed, will have to be destroyed.
Tho Filbert case of hocussing, it is now thought, was
a pure invention of the stable lad's, who is now in cus-
tody on a charge of theft.

ft seems that no less than 700/, of forfeits were paid
up to allow of the starting of Ninnyhammer for the
Bedford Stakes.

Sir W. Booth has sold Asacl to Mr. Elves for
1,500/.; he goes into Stevens' stable; and, it is reported,
is to be tried with Longinus at level weights.
The meetings for next week number five--Pontypool
being marked for Monday and Tuesday; Pontefract
(with a tolerable bill of fare) for Monday; Holywell
Hunt (also with a well furnished card) for Tuesday and
Wednesday; Richmond, en Wednesday and Thursday;
and Lanark on Friday. The first and last named I know
little or nothing about, and have heard nothing positive
as yet, either of Pontefract or Holywell ; but with re-
spect to Richmond, I understand that the Wright Stakes
will be, appropriated by the owner of GoousAll, Os-
borne's fillies being all that he fears.

It is not known what is meant, or likely to start, for
either the Easby Stakes or Richmond Handicap, al-
though it is reported that Miss Jemima will be there
for the latter ; it' so, the me is as good as over.
Child of the Mist Mond Cyclops aro understood to be
the animals for the Hat Stakes.
On Monday or Tuesday I shall lay before my readers
all those scraps of information which have been collecting
during the present week, referring as to which are the
money horses, and which are to be placed on the hope-
less list for the Cambridgeshire.

SPORTING IN TELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.
THE ALLEGED POISONING OF FILBERT.—There is
great doubt of the truth of the statement made by the
lad that he " dosed" Filbert before the race on Tuesday.
As we mentioned in our last, he is in custody, not, how-
ever, on any charge connected with the alleged poisoning,
concerning which his statements have been very contra-
dictery, but for theft. He is to be brought up again on
Thursday afternoon.
