Immediately after the race for the Triennial Stakes for
2-yrs-old, Autocrat was backed for nearly 8001., at 12
and 10 to 1.
Among the many fashionable visitors we noticed the
Marquis of Exeter, the Earl of Derby, Lords Maid-
stone, Exmouth. Clifden, Ribblesdale, Ernest Bruce,
and Robert Cinton, Sir Joseph Hawley; Sir Robert
Pigott, Admiral Rous, the Hon. Mr. Curzon, &c.
The above details of the proceedings sufficiently indi-
cate the satisfactory character of the sport. The defeat
of Cincas by Cobnut, and the success of Bessus for the
Mottisfont Stakes, caused considerable surprise, and
were unexpectedly favourable to the "fielders.'?
