SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.

MONDAY.
The eagerly longed-for rain, gladdening to the heart of
the trainer as well as agriculturist, and, indeed, every class
of the community, has ushered in the Cesarewitch week.
The Heath is no longer the dusty Sahara it was last meet-
ing, and though the long drought will require more mois-
ture than has fali-en to penetrate the hard ground, yet that
dread of the racing man, small fields, will not this meeting
be the rule.

" The Cesarewitch Trial," as the £5O Plate over that
course is called, is generally one of the principal features of
the opening day, but this year, limited to four runners,
with only Hippolyta to beat the moderate trio opposed .to
her, there was very little interest in the event; and very
little "line" to be got as to the result of the great race to-
morrow. The Baron's mare won hard held, and Zephyr's
chance is, therefore, a slightly improved one. Kilkenny,
at the top weight, carried off the Handicap Sweepstakes
over the T.Y.C. with great case, and Ambition, Miss
Roland, and Sister to Amber made a good finish in the £5O
Plate for 2-yr-olds, the former winning by a head. Ono
of the most exciting events of the day was the Free Handi-
cap over the Rowley mile, in which Breadalbane gave
Sydmonton 111 b., and showed his magnificent rate of speed
by running his field to a standstill.

The Cesarewitch betting underwent no very important
change beyond a slight decline in Alabama's position, and
the coming of Privateer and John Davis, the latter of
whom is announced to be the Danebury representative.
The French horse Vertugadin was largely supported bathe
course of the afternoon at 33 to 1.

The attendance was hardly so large as we have remem-
bered it, but the town is full, and a great influx is expected
to-morrow.

Handicap Plate of £5O, for 3-yr-olds and upwards.

Betting-7 to 4 each agst Hippolyta and Threadbare,
and 5 to 1 agst Hippolyta,.
Hippolyta, with Threadbare at her girths, came on a
couple of lengths in advance of Lizard and Pelios, who
came on together to the ditch gap, when the Baron's filly
came on in advance into the Abingdon Mile bottom, where
Threadbare was beaten; and Lizard, joining Hippolyta,
the pair finished the race home, the latter winning cleverly
by a length. Threadbare finished a bad third.

Betting-4 to 1 agst Lord Douglas, sto 1 each agst Kil-
kenny, Regina, and Alice Lee, 11 to 2 agst Crytheia, and 7
to 1 agst Crossbow.

Kilkenny, on the upper ground, jumped away with a
slight lead of Alice Lee, Camball, Lord Douglas, and Re-
gina, close up with whom came Crytheia and Crossbow.
Half-way in the cords Alice Lee and the favourite were
beaten, when Regina and Camball, who had been in wait-
ing, made their effort, but failed to reach Lord Westmore-
land's colt, who won in a canter by three lengths; a
like distance separated the second and third. Crossbow,
Alice Lee, and Crytheia finished next, nearly abreast.
Lord Douglas was last.

Betting—Even on Mirella, and 9 to 4 agst Lass o' Gowrie.

Lass o' Gowrie was first away, and made the running at
a slow pace for a quarter of a mile, when she was pulled
back, and Mirella indulged with the lead to within 30 or 40
yards from home, when Loates again brought the Lass to
the front, and won cleverly by a head ; a bad third.
