That iclay Night.
The Queen's Plate having ended in a walk over, we liavo
little to aid to what we sent from the Heath. The 1,000
Guineas Stakes, although neither of the favourites is in the
Oaks, excited considerable interest, and was speculated on to a,
large amount. After three or four false starts Cfenis wet
away with the lead, followed by Cara and Macremma to the
new ground, where Alexandrina and Retrospect joinrd them ;
at the c'rds Cronis and Cara were loft to themselves ; halt(' way
up the latter challenged, and after a short struggle defeated tlk,
Duke's filly cleverly by a length. Alexandrina w.ts about three
lengths astern of Csenis.
The course was well attended, notwithstanding the gloomy
and boisterous state of the weather.
