BEDFORD MEETING—WEDNESDAY.
This meeting closed with weather sufficiently fine to in-
duce everybody so inclined to attend the sport, and although
the card promised an excellent day's racing the attendance
was exceedingly small. The programme contained half a
dozen items, the opening event being set for 1.30, and the
last at four. Only two of the five entries went to the post
for the New Stakes, Golden Dust being amongst the ab-
sentees. The layers of odds on Miss Livingstone were
never in fear, as the mare won from the start. Vulture,
who was consider€d of " better class" than his opponents,
has made a rattling favourite for the Hunters' Stakes ; his
backers were, however, doomed to disappointment, for
Peneus, purchased the previous day by Mr. Wm. Ash-
worth, cut down the favourite, and at the finish won easily.
The winner, a very indifferent-looking filly, found a new
purchaser in Mr. Berry Gravitt, who gave 73 guineas for
her, which placed £23 to the credit of the race fund. Again
in the Two-3 r-old Selling Stakes did the whole of the en-
tries go to the post. The fractiousness of Rowena caused
an unpleasant delay, and, unfortunately for her backers,
she was finally left at the post. Corydon, on the strength
of Peneus's performance (with whom he ran second an
Tuesday), was made the favourite. Captain Christie's
colt was at first backed at evens, but at the close
sto 2 was laid against him. Smoke, ridden in a curb bridle,
and steered by Harry Grimshaw, was under better com-
mand than on Tuesday, and getting well away completely
raced down his opponents, and found a new owner in Mr.
Fuller, who placed 53 guineas to the credit of the race fund.
Mr. Ten Broeck had both Wallace and Optimist in the
Queen's Plate, and, although the former had been sent to
Bedford, he was discovered lame, and neither started. Of
the four runners, Master George was made the favourite,
and after a fine set-to between Fordham and Custanee,
Master George won by a neck. Peneus (for his third owner
at this meeting), defeated the tremendous " pot" Olive
Branch and Foretop for the Stratton Park Stakes, but was
not claimed for the £l5O the winner was to be sold for.
Ophelia easily beat Surbiton Hill for the Scurry Handicap,
Goldhunter having been left at the post. The investments
upon the Cesarewitch were not of an extensive character,
but immediately after the races several telegrams arrived to
different individuals, stating that Balder hal won his trial,
and no doubt there would have been a run on that horse
had the bookmakers been present. Subjoined aro details of

the running :
The New Stakes of 10 sovs each, 5 ft, for two and three-
yr-olds ; maidens allowed 41b. Five furlongs. 5 subs.
Mr. Bruce's Miss Livingstone, 3 yrs, Bst 41b (Custance) 1
Mr. Fuller's Baffler, 3 yrs, Bst 41b (Mitchell) 2

Miss Livingstone cantered by him, and won by half a
dozen lengths.

5 Boys each, for 3-yr-olds and upwards ; selling allow-

(John Nightingall)
Betting—Even on Vulture, 5 to 2 eget Real Jam, 7 to 1
agst Peneus, 100 to S agst Pinkepoe.
Peneus and Warrener were rather fractious, and after
breaking away Warrener for some time refused to join his
hot ses, who, with the exception of Vulture, remained seve-
ral lengths in advance of her starter. When they were sent.
away "Vulture obtained an advantage, and with Pinkepoe,
Warrener, Peneus, and the Rochester colt formed the front
division, Real Jam, who did not get off on good terms,
being last. Mr. Hughes's filly quickly made up her lost
ground, and when a furlong of the distance had been tun,
Pinkepoe and Real Jam held the lead, Vulture lying third,
and Peneus and Strike next. In rounding the turn the
Rochester colt dropped astern, whilst Peneus joined the
leaders. Approaching the distance Real Jam compounded,
which left Pinkepoe with a slight lead of Vulture, who was
closely waited upon on the rear side by Peneus, full of run-
ning. Half-way up the distance French gave the filly her
head, and in a few strides she quitted her two leading
:ui
com-
panions, and won by a length ; Pinkepoe, who was not. per-
severed r
severed with from the Stand, finished two lengths the
rear of Vulture; the rest beaten off. The Rochester colt
did not pass the post.
The winner was purchased by Mr. Henry Gravitt for 73
guineas.

The last mentioned made play at a moderate pace, with
Attaman second, Master George third, and Gleam last.
About three-quarters of a mile from home Attaman joined
Shepherdess, and the two racing for the lead rapidly left
Master George and Gleam, who were following in close
company. Attaman obtained the lead at the turn for home,
and at the distance Master George went up to Mr. Sutton's
colt, and a splendid race terminated in the last stride in fa-
vour of Master George by a neck ; Gleam was a bad third,
and Shepherdess trotted past the post.
