Another beautiful day. "Strings of horses" were out
early at exercise, and numbers of visitors poured forth
to scrutinise their form and action.

Although the close of the meeting fell materially short
of the commencement in the amount of sport and at-
tendance of company, its proceedings were not a little
spirited and interesting.
The principal " feature"—The Prendergast—brought
out six competitors, but the finishing effort was entirely
between Kingstown and Claret; the latter, carrying 31b
less than Kingstown, won cleverly by a neck.
During the meeting 193 horses went to the post, and
41 races, including two dead heats, were run. The re-
sult of the Cesarewitch, and its effect on the betting
circles will, in all probability, have a depressing influ-
ence on speculation for some time to come.
The racing commenced to-day at twelve and termi-
nated at half-past two. In an hour afterwards most of
the company left by the special train to London, and
were very comfortably conveyed thither in about two
hours and a half.

REMARKABLE TURF COINCIDENCES.—This year the
Chesterfield Stakes were won by Lord Chesterfield, the
Rutland Stakes by the Duke of Rutland, the Bedford
Stakes by Duke of Bedford, and the Cesarewitch by
Muscovite I
