TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,—The Newmarket second October meeting this
year seems likely to surpass all previous meetings in the
amount of sport. There are no less than 46 races on
paper for the week, the majority being matches, as is
usual at the close of the Newmarket season ; neverthe-
less we may reasonably expect a larger suppy of quad-
rupeds and bipeds than Newmarket has ever seen in its
October gatherings.
The ball opens with the 50 sovs. Plate, for all ages, to
close and name the evening before running. For the 50
sovs. Stakes a field of four will show, but nothing likely
to compete with Wilderness, who will win in a canter.
The Duke of Bedford's Taurina will easily beat Lord
' Chesterfield's Hollowback.
The Industry colt must succumb to Mermillo.
Paragons against Lebanon over the D. M. will be an
easy victor.
Garryowen will beat Wood Pigeon, and Eothen will
repeat the dose to Dr. Goodall.
Alarm, with Bst 81b, against the Bishop of Romford's
Cob, with Sst 21b, in a T.Y.C. scurry, will stand but
little chance.

Two sweepstakes, to close and name the evening before
running, will complete this day's fare.
On Tuesday, the day of the week all important to the
ring, will usher in the noble gift of the Grand Duke
Cesarewitch. For this stake above a moiety will
appear at the post, and will probably be the following:—
