,well in line,
and the work was cut out by Assault gelding until they
were over the New Ground, when Coup d'Etat, Vete-
ran, El Dorado, Epaminondas, and Nicotine showed
distinctly in front, and the running was carried on in
close company until they descended the Bushes•hill,
where Nicotine dropped off evidently quite beaten. On
leaving the Abingdon Mile bottom, Veteran took the
command, but when half-way between the turn of the
lands and the chair he was deprived of it by Coup
d'Etat, who went on, followed by Veteran and Sine

BETTING AFTER THE RACES.
CHESTER CUP.
9 to 1 agst Baalbec (taken to 501.)
On the Course 10 to 1 was takeß to 1001. ; 5,000 to
75 about Bracken for the Derby.
The continued brilliancy of the weather, and the in-
terest attached to the principal feature of the day's sport
—the Newmarket Handicap—caused the attendance of
company to be considezably increased to-day. The
sport had, however, its drawbacks in the proceedings
which were connected with the handicap. Favourites
were set up and knocked down like ninepins. To the
Defiance demonstration, after Virago's disappearance,
we have already alluded ; the next on a par with it was
the force with which Adine was brought into favour.
On mustering at "The Rooms" about noon-time, Nico-
tine appeared most prominently in the betting, but she
quickly gave way to Adine, and Adine reigned' para-
mount until the bubble burst on the Heath. Adine was
then number amongst the non-starters !

Six races are fixed for this day. The first race at two
o'clock ; the Craven Handicap at three o'clock ; Column
