SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.

MONDAY CONCLUDED.
The gathering in and near the Subscription Room at
night was neither so large as on previous Cesarewich
occasions, nor were the proceedings of that animated
character which they were wont to exhibit. The cause,
however, needs no explanation ; it is sufficiently obvious
to all sporting men.
Muscovite continued firm, notwithstanding the in-
creased support given to Cobnut, Rodo-meli, Ammonia,
Rattle, La Belle, and Ethelwolf. At 12 and 11 to 1
La Belle was backed for upwards of 3001., and 25 to 1
was taken to a good deal of money about Ethelwolf.
The prices at the close of business were as follow :-
7to 2 eget Muscovite.
7to 1 agst Cobnut.
10 to 1 agst Rodo-meli.
10 to 1 agst Ammonia.
11 to 1 agst La Belle.
12 to 1 agst Rattle.
16 to 1 agst D. 0.
20 to 1 agst Indian Warrior.
25 to 1 agst Ethelwolf.
25 to 1 agst Hungerford.
50 to 1 agst Balrownie.

Hungerford, 25 to 1 agst thelwolf, 40 to 1 agst Rata-
plan' 100 to 3 agst Candlewick. Scherz and Adine took
the lead at starting, 6t. Clare and Domino, at a long
interval, being the next two, and these at a distinct dis-
tance in advance of the ruck. No change of moment
occurred with the leading horses until they approached
the New Ground, when Scherz, Adine, and Domino
, gave way, and D. 0. joined St. Clare, and took ground
in front, followed by Muscovite, Rodo-meli, Rataplan,
Candlewick, Rattle, La Belle, and Ethelwolf, and in
nearly the same order they arrived at the Abingdon-
, mile Bottom, where Muscovite came out, and bore
his colours in the van. Rataplan persevered to half-
way up the hill and then declined. On entering the
cords, Muscovite, holding a decided lead, showed that
his chance amounted to a certainty. Rattle, attended by
D. 0., Candlestick, St Clare, and La Belle, made a vi-
gorous effort to catch Lim, but he won very easily by
four lengths ; the second beating the third two lengths.
Candlewick was fourth, St. Clare and La Belle next ;
Rodo-meli about seventh or eighth ; the others finished
at straggling intervals, most of them being beaten off a
long way. Pace good throughout. Joe Miller, who
got badly off, came in some time after the others had
passed the chair. Bracken, Balrownie, La Belle, and
two or three others, also got badly off. Balrownie broke
down.

Betting: Even on Guy Mannering, 5 to 1 each agst
Guitar and Duet, 6 to 1 aget Sweetness. A good
race in with the first three was won by a neck, same
distance between the second and third.
Brilliant weather, and the town all bustle and busi-
ness, the special and other trains to-day having brought
in a vast accession of visitors.
The scene on the heath was highly animated and ex-
citing, and the preparations for the great race were
watched with a very lively interest. At the saddling
stables, and in and around the ring, professionals and
amateurs congregated in large numbers, and speculation
was anxiously and sedulously pursued, as judgment
directed, fancy imagined, and books were to be " opt.
rated" upon.
Muscovite maintained his position in the betting with
unshaken firmness, and his performance in the race fully
justified the strong confidence of his backers. He won
very easily.
The challenge for the whip was not the least interest-
ing incident in the day's sport. It was a severe task for
the competitors, and although Kingston unfortunately
broke down in the fetlock joint of the off-hind leg whilst
in possession of the lead, and when within half-a-mile of
home, there is no doubt that Stockwell would not have
obtained the trophy had no such casualty occured.
