HANDICAP SWEEPSTAKES, Tuesday.—By an error in
transcribing the betting on this event, Cheddar was re-
turned at 7 to 2, and Coleraine at 6 to 1 ; the prices
should have been reversed.
What with forfeits and scratchings the list to-day
dwindled to comparative insignificance : in the course of
the morning, however, a bit of bye-sport, consisting of
a pigeon shooting match, in which the " Piccadilly
Pet" was the winner, made some amends for its short-
coming. The attendance on the heath was of a Wed-
nesday's average. The weather dry and breezy ; clouds
of dust occasionally swept through the town with an
almost blinding effect. Watercarts are about as rare at
Newmarket as a horse is at Venice.

tion into the circumstances connected with this race has
commenced this day by the Jockey Club.

before the stewards.
