NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING.
THURSDAY.
A very interesting race for the Queen's Plate over the
Beacon Course began to-day's spent. Six horses entered for
it, though in reality only Harlequin and the ee inter of the
Goodwood Cup were in the race, which, before they had
breasted the hill, was left entirely to them. The issue was
never in doubt, however, for the game Isolino answered to
every call of her rider, and came in a clever winner by half
a half. Walloon carried off the Handicap Sweepstakes, de •
feating the favourite, Croagh Patrick, after a good race
between them, by half a length. The Sixteenth Triennial
brought together Midnight Mass, Evelina, and Ely, with
five others of lesser degree. The Baron's filly was made
the favourite, Ely being also backed for some money.
Owing to a very straggling start Evelina was left a long
way in the rear,—a disadvantage which she did not recover,
and the race, which was looked upon almost as a certainty
for her, was won cleverly by Ely, Midnight Mass succumb-
ing half way up the cords, and the celebrated Tomato gain-
ing second honours by three lengths from Olivia.
The Two-year-old Handicap, bringing 16 to the post, was
won by Land of the West, who made all the running, and
won with the utmost ease by three lengths. The Plate A.F.
Manrico put to Lord Strathmore's account, the favourite,
Bosh, being second. The Rutland Stakes looked a cer-
tainty for Claremont, from his public running, the others
being too unknown to fame to warrant any outlay on their
chances. The Duke of Beaufort's filly made the running,
followed by the favourite,-.going steadily within- himself,
looking as if he only waited for Aldcroft's call to come out
the winner. But to the dismay of his backers he stopped
on mounting the hill, and Acolyte, who had been lying
third, came with a rush and landed Lord Stamford's colours
by some eight lengths.
The weather changed for the worse this afternoon, a
drizzling rain rendering the heath very disagreeable.

mand, :the others lying nearly abreast for the first two
miles, when he was beaten, and suddenly dropped into the
rear, the lead being left with Harlequin, close up with
whom was the favourite and Crafton Lass, the others, one
by one, giving way. On entering the rails Isoline joined
Harlequin, and half way up obtained a slight lead, which

length. Crafton Lass finished a bad third ; tke others

reaching the post, and ran to the top of the town, and in
consequence did not reach the post in time to start. After
one failure they left the post to a straggling start, in which

Mass, lying wide on the extreme right, came on with a clear
lead, followed in the centre of the course by Olivia, Tomato,
