The IloughttitL,Meetilitt krrinna,ed alike Newmarket
Raiet And Tmf career for 1837. The last three days
have been beautifully fine and frosty, and the sport remarkably
good. In the six days. we have had no less than thirty -two
races (a number rarely exteeded at any tliettittg IA the king-
dom), including the Criterion, the hererest course for two
years olds, and suppeted test at to the horses' chance for the
great Derby. 'l:Urban won his race on Friday in good style—
ti to 4 italnst him. But the last day of the last meeting is
the one, nine races sufficiently tempting to induce us and many
others to remain till the finish. Four races were von by a
neck, and tht lost,(the finish) a dead heat. Rattrap and Lord
Exctet's Ilybiscus—so fine a race we have rarely seen,
it may be called a dead heat for the last 100 yards. A great
deal of money changed hands to-day ; indeed, there was more
betting than any day in the week, and although' an arrest on
the course actually took place the day before yesterday, we be-
lieve the settling has been all right. All is again bustle, every
one on the eve of departure, houses in the neighbourhood all
full to catch some of the great ones, but most of the carriages
are for town. In spite of the untoward weather on Wednes-
day it has been remarked by the old stagers that they seldom
er ever remembered three weeks at Newmarket so generally
fine as the last three meetings.

Lord Exeter's Hybiscus, Bst. 21b
The betting was heavy at evens, Rat-trap having the call at
the beginning, and Hybiscus at the finish. Hybiscus took the
lead at a strong pace, Rattrap following him to the T. Y. C.
post, where he drew upon him, and took a position at his
girths. On entering the cords he got to his shoulders, but as
his only chance at the weights depended on a rush he waited
patiently until within a few yards of the chair, when by a des-
perate effort, he reached his opponent in the last stroke and
made it a dead heat. A finer race was never seen.
The beauty of the weather, and the number and severity of
the races, combined to form a most brilliant finish to the sea-
son. We are happy to add that the matches and nominations
for next year arc full of excellent'promise.

Further particulars of Friday's Races.
First Race.—They started abreast, and kept so until they
reached the cords, where Hannah gave way ; Smelt struggled
on a few yards further, and " followed suit ;" a beautiful set-to
betwixt Wimple and the Hawker filly was decided in favour of
Wimple by a bead.
Second Race.—Alus made all the running, and won cleverly
by half a length. Avon and Caliph were some lengths in the
rear.
Nursery Stakes.—lloogley led all the way, followed very
close by Joanna. Kirtle, and Chymist, to the ropes, where the
later fell off. The other three ran a pretty race home, How,.
ley passing the post a neck in advance of Joanna, and half
length before Kirtle. Chymist was fourth, and the Hydra last.
Audley End Stakes.—Turban made the running at a good
pace, Magician following in his wake until within a hundred
yards of home, when he went alongside, pulling hard, and his
jockey so quiet in his saddle that any one would have betted
10 to 1 he won ; Turban, however, struggled on, kept his po-
sition to the end, and won by a head, to the utter astonishment
of the spectators, many of whom, deceived by the apparent
case with which Chapple took it, made sure that he had won
easy. Adrian gave up half-way between the Duke's Stand
and the cords.

The following abstract of Turban's travels and performances
this season prove him to be as stout as he is honest :—ln the
spring he came from Sherwood to Newmarket, and ran for the
()attends, D. I. From Newmarket to Chester, where be was
second for the King's Plate, three miles ; and second, third,
and fourth for the Ladies' Purse, two mile heats. From
Chester to Manchester won the 801. Plate, in four heats, of
two miles and a distance each. From Manchester to Stain-
lord, where he ran third for the Burghley Stakes, a mile.
From Stamford to Newmarket, thence to Huntingdon, where
he Plate in three heats, once round ; and a Sweepstakes in
two heats. Froth Huntingdon to Yarmouth, where he won
the Cup in three heats; thence to Beecles, where he ran two
heats for the Gentlemen's Plate, and two for the Town Plate.
From Beccles to Leicester, where he was second for a Plate.
Frain Leicester he proceeded to Heaton Park, where he ran
third for the Stanley Stakes, was beaten in a match, A. F., by
Miss Bowe, was not placed for the Great Cup, and was fifth
for the beaten Handicap ; the 17. st three races being run on the
same day. From Heaton Park he returned to Newmarket
Second October Meeting, in which he started for a Plate,
A. F., and for•the Town Plate, T.M. M., both on the same
day. In the present meeting he ran a dead heat over D. I.
on Tu...sday, and a three. mile race on the same day ; won the
D. I. Plate on Thursday, and closed his career for the season
with the Audley End Stakes, having run thirty-two heats in
all, and travelled upwards of 1,000 miles without caravan.
