NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING.
THE SUBSCRIPTION ROOM AT NIGHT.
MONDAY (CONCLUDED).
Speculation on the Cambridgeshire fluctuated in so
extraordinary a manner that we cannot vouch for the
accuracy of the following statement, made up frora our
list of quotations at the close. We have, however,
no doubt that it will be found sufficiently near the
truth.

Only the leading favourite, Rattle, held a firm posi-
tion-7 to 2 offered, and 4to 1 taken. Orinoco oscil-
lated between 5 and 7, and Hervine, who was third
favourite in the afternoon, was driven from 12 to 1
to 50 to 1.

Seherz, at one time, receded to 20 to 1, but re-
turned to 100 to 6 ; be had, nevertheless, numerous
opponents. Quince and Speed the Plough were alter-
nately up at 25 to 1 each and down to 33 to 1 each.
Offers of 100 to 1 extinguished all hopes of Helena,
and Stonehenge was coupled with Hervine in a bet of
50 to 1.

Whilst these operations were going on, Little Harry
was introduced by a powerful party, who began by
taking 20 to 1 to some money, and their example had
quickly the effect of advancing'him to 15 to I—the high-
est offer at the close was only 12 to 1. Prime Minister,
Vindex, and Little David were backed for some small
sums at 25 to 1 each, and 12 to 1 was taken abort John
Osborne's lot.

and Quince, The Assayer lying on their right, Little
Harry en the lower side. In pretty nearly the same
order they arrived halfway between the Duke's Stand

selves out ; the latter made a very resolute effort, but
was at last beaten by a head ; an interval of five lengths
separated the second from the third ; D.O. was fourth,
Litle Harry fifth, and Orinoco about seventh.-The others
passed the chair at ,straggling intervals, Little David

The Reiver, 7to 1 agat Candlewick. A capital rase,
won by a length. A length and a half between the
second and third. Henget ford was fourth.
The attendance on the Heath and the interest that was
manifested showed that the " Cambridgeshire Day" had
lost nothing of its attractive character. The sport was
ample and varied, and the weather was all that could
have been desired for the gratification of the mere plea-
sure seeker and for the business operations of the profes-
sional speculator.
The Catnbridgeshire was won cleverly by Scherz—a
horse bred in Germany, and, until he ran for the Cesare-
witch, only known in England by the reports which had
occasionally been heard of his continental achievements.
He was ridden by Birbeck, a jockey who accompanied
him from Germany, and on returning to scale his suc-
cess was greeted with long and hearty cheers. Spe-
culation, before its close, was marked by only one new
incident, but it was one that was as extraordinary as
unexpected. The Nancy fever again broke out, and
she was supported with so much spirit and confidence
that, from the extreme outside division, she was ad-
vanced to a prominent position amongst the fa-
vourites. Rattle kept firm to the last. The result was
little favourable to the Ring, Scherz having been heavily
backed.
After the race, Mr. Deonett, the owner of Rattle, ob-
jected to the winner on the ground of age. The Messrs.
Barrow were therefore called in to examine the horse's
mouth, and they certified that he is a three-yr-old, and
consequently properly described.

VALUE OF LAND IN TUB EASTERN DISTRICTS OF
LONDON.—The banks of the Thames above and below the
East and West India Docks being nearly exhausted for
wharfage purposes, the increase of new wharfs on the
River Lee, for some miles up, has been of late years very
remarkable ; and land that was only a marsh cannot now
be bought . under 1,0001. an acre. New towns are
springing 'up in the direction of Stratford and Bow, every
available field being eagerly sought for, for building ope-
rations. The Conservative Land Society has just acquired
a valuable estate at. Old Ford, in the parish of St. Maty,
Stratford-le:Bow, within the borough of the Tower
Uamlets. The land is within 200 yards of Victoria-park
and Sir George .Duckett's canal, and about a quarter of
a mile from the Bow station of the Eastern Counties
