NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING
THIIR,DAy.

On the " Newmarket Oaks" day there is usually a large
attendance of the fair sex, who congregate fon the heath to
witness the performances of their favourites just as they 0
at Epsom, though, of course, not in corresponding num-
bers, To-day, however, very few ladies appeared, in api to
of the continued fine weather, and the attendance of all
classes was below the average. From the well-known un-
certainty attending the running of mares at this early sea-
son, there is far less interest connected with this race than
with that for the Two Thousand Guineas, as it does not
afford the same key to the Oaks which the latter gives to
the Derby. The race was won on this iccasion in the
most hollow manner by Lord Stamford's mare, the second
also belonging to his lordship, whose success, after a long
series of disappointments, gave the highest satisfaction to
a large majority of the spectators. The whiner is a fine
slashing mare, bat from her running in the Chesterfield
last year, when she was beaten by Saccharometer it was
feared that she was unable to stay ; having' shown in the
early part of that race that she was possessed of sufficient
pace, but dying away at the finish, her stoutness was re-
garded as very doubtful. She is engaged in the Oaks, as
welt as Flying Fish and the three placed next. Tornado,
who started an even favourite with the winner, was not
persevered with beyond the entrance to the cords, and it is
probable that she might have run second to her, but hay..
ing no chance for the first place she was very properly re-
served for the great Epsom event. The winner was pur-
chased of Lord Derby, and Flying Fish of Mr. Tattersall.
Lord Stamford being thus at length rewarded for his num-
berless spirited purchases of racing stock.
