NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING.
Wednesday Night.

FURTHER PARTICULARS OF WEDNESDAY'S RACING.

The Plate.—Professor made the running to the Duke's
Stand, where Calmuck took it up, and won easily by two
lengths.
Fifty Sovs. Handicap._Sepoy made all the play, defeated
his horses before they were half across the flat, and won in a
canter by ten lengths, nearly .double the space intervening
between each of the others ; Idiot pulled up at the Duke's,
and Pope broke down a few yards from the chair.
Portland Handicap.—Felix took the lead at a good pace,
followed by Jack-in-the-Green, Venison next, and the others
in a ruck behind ; they continued in this order through the
ditch, immediately after leaving which Locomotive was in dif-
ficulty ; Gipsy was the next to give up, and after him Airy, the
three beinveompletely beaten off at the bushes. Jack-in-the-
Green now took up. the running; with Lucifer.and Hock lying
up, Felix and Venison waiting very closely on them ; in this
way they travelled to the turn of the lands, where Venison was
observed to take his ground a trifle nearer The leading horse ;
at the Duke's Stand these two singled'themselles out for' the
finish, Jack-in-the-Green still leading-, and having the best of
it until near the ropes, where he tired, and the gallant little
Venison running past, won a length by stoutness and nothing
else; had Jack been a good finisher he would have won, as
he clearly had the superiority of speed. Hock was but a mo.
derate third, and that the others cut up badly is proved by the
judge having placed them all. Venison was not in any favour
even with those connected with the stable nearly the whole of
them having betted against him.
The weather was delightfully fine, and the Heath very fully
attended. Amongst many others present were the Dukes of
Portland and Rutland, Marquis of Exeter, Marquis and Mar-
