The train from Shoreditch on Sunday afternoon was nol

so crowded as we have seen it; but Newmarket looked full
and bustling, and a brilliant wind-up is evidently expected,
to which the glorious weather will in no small degree con-
tribute. To-day there was nothing of any great interest in
the eight events on the card, with the exception of the
Cambridgeshire Trial Handicap, as the £5O Plate for 3-yr-
olds and upwards is teamed, and the Criterion. The issue
of the former is generally supposed to throw some light on
the great event, and this year the easy victory of Stock_
inger may probably have an influence on the position in the
betting of his stable companion, Bathilde. Considered a

very moderate horse, he managed with his light impost of
63t 101 b to breast the trying hill, and came in a winner in
a common canter, the two top weights, Twilight and Aure-
lian, beihg respectively second and third. The Maiden
Plate for 2-yr-olds was an easy thing for Rothschild, the
lot behind him being but an indifferent one, and in the
Selling Handicap Lady Derby disposed of her horses with-
out much difficulty.

The morning had been foggy, but the sun dispersed the
thick atmosphere soon after the races commenced. Just
before the start for the Criterion, however, it came on
denser than ever, and Admiral Raus, after consulting with
his brother stewards, postponed this interesting two •yr-old
coatest until to-morrow, when the Prince of Wales, the
Duke of Cambridge, and, suite are expected to honour the
course with their presence.

each agst Fanfaron, Romanoff, and Liston.
As near as we could make out from inquiries made of the
riders (the heavy fog that enveloped the heath rendering it
impossible to distinguish either horse or rider 100 yards
from the stand), Lady Louisa, in company with Sweet
Willie, Liston, Revolver, and the favourite, made play to
the site of the Old Duke's Stand, where Stockinger ran
through his horses and came on with a clear lead, Sweet
Willie lying next, with Twilight and Tornado side by side
in the centre, and Aurelian and Disappointment, on the
upper ground, next. They ran thus to the brow of the
hill, where Stockinger quitted his horses without an effort,
and won in a canter by three lengths, Aurelian defeating
Twilight by a length for second. Touch-and•go was
fourth, close up, Queen of Trumps fifth, Gorse sixth, Tor-
nado seventh, Sweet Willie eighth, and Vivid next. The
last lot comprised Liston, Disappointment, Waterwitch,
and Douche, the last two being King of Utopia and Lady
Louisa.
