NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING.

FURTHER PARTICULARS OF FRIDAY'S RACING.

Handsc.ap.—Several false starts were made by the young
ones, and full half an hour lost before the lot got under weigh ;
they then started in good order, Avon with a slight lead, but
all well togetlie: for about half the distance, by which time
Brother to Mouc.he and the Ada filly were beaten off; the
others kept in company to the ropes, where Florestan broke up
the running, defeated s desperate rush made just at the finish
by Foozool, and won cleverly by a length.
Newmarket Stakes.—The first betting was even and 6 to 5
on Rat-trap; it then rose to 7 to 4 which was laid several
times, and closed at 11 to 8 on him ' • 4. to 1 agst May- Day, 4
to 1 agst Troilus, and 10 to 1 agst Voloptuary. The race is
easily described. After running togethe: a few strides Brother
to May-Day went in front, but was not sut:ered to remain there
long, as Rat-trap took the running from him .before they reached
the new ground, was never afterwards caus,,ht, and won by a
length with the most perfect ease. The four IN ere beaten clean
off by the time they had travelled half the distal.. ne ; in fact, a
more decisive victors has never been won.
Rat-trap is by Bizarre, out of Young Mouse, an.l was pur-
chosed at the King's annual sale in 1835, for 90 pin eas „_• the
dam was brought into the Royal Stud at the sale of Lors4 Bur-
lington's horses. The Boyces have recently bought Biiarre
for 150 guineas.
D. M. race.—Even on Haveldar ; they started in line, and
kept so into the cords, where Reuben and Champion singled
themselves out, and after a set-to of great severity, made the
finish a dead heat, Reuben afterwards walked over, and the
stakes were divided.

Before the races 10 to 1 was laid against Rat-trap for the
Derby, 20 to 1 against Defender, and 2,000 to 40 against
Brother to May-Day. After the Newmarket Stakes 4 to 1
was taken about Rat-trap, and 1,000 to 35 about Brother to
35 about Brother to May-Day, 10 and 12 to 1 offered against
