NEWMARKET SPRING MEETING.—FRIDAY.
One of the most brilliant of the Newmarket spring
gatherings has terminated with the eclat with which it
commenced. The last race this afternoon, between Diomed
and Vixen, in the £lOO handicap, was as fine a struggle as
we have seen during the week ; the great match between
Provisor and Sidewind, for £l,OOO, alone having an un-
fortunate termination. The favourite, Provisor, broke a
blood vessel in the head while running, and had, of course,
to be pulled up, allowing his opponent to canter in alone.
The rest of the racing was chiefly remarkable for the suc-
cesses of Mr. Ton Broeck and Fordham, who almost swept
the board, and Koenig had, of course, no difficulty in the
Newmarket with his solo opponent, the Caloyer.
Newmarket has reaped a rare harvest during the wJek,
and must do its thrifty inhabitants the justice to say that
they do not hesitate in putting in the sickle.

One thing is deserving of note. We did not hear of the
loss of a pocket handkerchief on tho Tuesday that witnessed
such an invasion of all classes and degrees into the town.
For this we have to thank the Jockey Club, who had se-
cured the services of Inspector Tanner. His well-known
face will, we trust, bo classed among the permanent insti-
tutions of " head-quarters" for some time.

mounted, leaving Sidewind to canter home alone.

Several failures preceded the actual start, in which Re-
gina, attended by Leoville and the favourite, got away in
front, followed, on the right, by Dawdle and Lord Doug-
las. On entering the cords Regina dropped back, leaving
the issue with the four, and when half-way up Lord
Douglas headed his opponents and won very cleverly by
half a length ; Orloff finished third, three lengths in their
rear; Dawdle was fourth, Clairvoyants fifth, and Lucky

Birague, on tho upper ground, made tho running, fol-
lowed by Thais, Tring, and Valido for a quarter of a mile,
when the latter was beaten, leaving the finish with the
three. At the cords the favourite quitted his followers, and
won in a canter by half-a-dozen lengths ; a length and a
half divided the second and third. Capt. Machell claimed
the winner, and Capt. Handley claimed Thais.

agst Vixen, 6 to 1 agst Miss Bowzer colt, and 8 to 1 agst
Lady Valentine.

The last named, on leaving the stables, jumped round
and bolted into the town. On quitting the post Greenland
rushed to the front to make a pace for the favourite, and
came on with a clear lead, followed on the lower side by
Menace and Miss Bowzer colt, and wide on their left by
Diomed, Skirmish, and Vixen to the site of the old Duke's
Stand, where Greenland dropped back. Menace then came
on in front to the rails, where she gave way to the favourite,
who, with Vixen at his quarters, drew away and finished
a finely-contested race home, Diomed winning in the last
stride by a head; Skirmish finished a bad third; Menace
was fourth, and Orloff next.

Musical and Theatrical Gossip,

(From the Orchestra)*

It is asserted that Donato is dead.
Count Pepoli, the husband of Mdme. Alboni, has become
insane in Paris.
Signor Giuglini, we regret to state, is so far from being
in a fair way of recovery that his medical attendants have
resigned nearly all hopes. Paralytic affection of the brain
and spine is the malady which threatens to deprive us of
our valued tenor. -

Wilkes Booth, the assassin of President Lincoln, had the
honour of playing Romeo to Miss Bateman's Juliet, when
that lady first came out in America ; and negotiations were
even at one time pendent between Booth and Mr. Bateman
relative to Booth's appearance in England with the fair
impersonator of Leah. ft is to be regretted that these ne-
gotiations came to nothing : he might have been saved .a
great crime and America a great calamity.

The death of Mr. John George Phillimore, Q.C.,
Reader on Constitutional Law to the Inns of Court, for
some time M.P. for Leominster, and an author of repute in
the profession, at the premature age of 55, is announced in
to-day's Law Threes.
