NF.I73IARKET CRAVEN MEETING.
(Further particulars of Friday's Races. )
Plate, made the running, followed by Rory O'More,
with Chemist and others well laid up, with the exception of the
Marches& filly,which never showed in front. At the new ground
Vaeuna attempted to take up the running, but could not manage
it, and the young ones were left to carry it on. About 200

Sweepstakes of 50 sov Montreal made play to the hill,
where Euclid passed him, and won in a cante by two lengths.
Match. passed
betting 'varied from 5 to 6 to 4 on the Tragedy
colt, to 6t05 on Flambeau, which was the closing price. The
half a
Tragedy colt cut out the work at a moderate pace for neatly
mile ; the speed then improved, but the positions con-
tinued the same ; at the cords Flambeau challenged, but was
beaten by a head after a splendid race.
The Port Stakes.—It would be a waste of time to attempt a
description of this race, for the " Gallant Grey" has beaten
the winner of the St. Leger, and won, hard held, by two lengths.
There can be no doubt that he might have won by 20 lengths
had it been necessary, for all that John Day had to do was to
restrain him. It was impossible, looking at last year's running,
to receive this as Don John's proper form. He was amiss
some time since, and is obvionsly far below " high-water
mark." Alemdar had nothing to do with the race.
The weather was exceedingly unfavourable, the rain having
fallen without intermiision during the whole of the racing.
The only bets made on the Derby in the morning were 650 to
'2OO agst Csar, 25 to I agst Euclid, and 35 to 1 agst flambeau.
Tr
he last two bets were repeated just before the horses started
fo thi respective races.

the
gate, followed by Cannon tall and Charity, the
mare still keeping to the right and taking the fence at the
further corner. Cannon-ball again made play over some
pretty stiff hedges, and over a little gate in tho orchard,
but refused the laid hedge in the middle of it, and turned
round. Lottery took it immediately, and went straight
ahead over a style, followed by Charity in an equally un-
hesitating manner, the former maintaining his lead to the
brook, a fair jump, with about ten or twelve feet of water,
which Cannon-ball cleared a little in advaikce of him, and
made strong running to the next fence, from ti,hich he
turned, but Wait made to take it, and contest the re-
mainder of the distance pretty stiffly with Lottery to the
last fence, which Mason, who was evidently only " waiting
his time," cleared beautifully, and went in a winner by some
distance ; Charity defeating Cannon-ball in a fine struggle
for second place by several lengths, and the b. rn. some
distance in the rear.
