NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING.
TUESDAY.

I When we dispatched our report of Monday's racing,
it was the prevailing impression that neither Glendower
nor Loadstone would run for the Two Thousand Guineas
Stakes, and it received apparent confirmation from the
large sums laid out the previous night at evens on Blaze,
coupled with the fact that none but him, Fern, and Flat-
catcher, were in the betting. In fact, it appeared to be
a settled thing that there would be only four runners,
Viz.:—the three named and Sunnysidc, nor did anything
occur to shake the general opinion until between nine
and ten o'clock at night,-100 to 70 was then laid several
times on two agst the field, that is, Blaze with Fern or
Flatcatcher, according to the fancy of the layers; the
quarters in which the odds were taken led to a suspicion
that there must still he something formidable in the
field, and a few minutes removed all doubt on the sub-
ject. Glendower's name was all at once mentioned, and
without much haggling, in the face, too, of the owner's
declaration, that he had not quite made up his mince
whether he should run or not, 4 to 1 was taken about
him. Before the room closed he was firmly established
at 3 to I, and his starting was a certainty. This un-
loiked-for move merit, of course, a ffected Blaze ; from
evens he receded to 6 and 7 to 4, closing at 5 to 4, layers.
4 to 1 each was offered agst Fern and Flatcatcher, and
10 to 1 agst Sunnyside. Nothing was done to lead to a
belief that Loadstone would put in an appearance. The
Derby bets were 10 to 1 each agst Glendower and
Springy Jack, 15 to 1 agst Eagle's Plume, 17 to 1 agst
Loadstone, and 28 to 1 agst Fern.
We should add, with reference to the Two Thousand
Guineas Stakes, that in consequence of some insinua-
tions with regard to Blaze's age, a veterinary examina-
tion was ordered by the stewards, at the request, we
believe, of Colonel Anson. It was quite satisfactory, his
age being unhesitatingly ,pronounced to be only three
years. We believe that Sunnyside passed through a
similar ordeal with the like result.
The arrivals thi:e morning by the early and special
trains were numerous ; but owing, no doubt, to the
wretched state of the weather, they fell considerably
short of our expectations. Fortunately for those who
were present, the showers during the race time were few
and light, albeit the coldness of the wind made extra
coats very acceptable.
The card contained five races, its interest, however,
centreing in the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes, for
which five came to the post, including Glendower, but
not Loadstone, who was scratched about halt-past twelve
o'clock.
The betting in the town, and on the course, was not by
any means heavy, but; it improved. Glendower and
Flatcatcher's position had the natural effect of driving
Blaze
back a trifle, Fern declined, and Sunnyside was
priceless.

the lead, which, with Blaze and Sunnyside in waiting,
he held for about a quarter of a mile; Sunnyside then
made his essay, was in the van for a few strides, and
then fell into the rear, Blaze going on with the running,
attended by Fern and Glendower, Flatcatcher waiting on
them. They came thus to the Ab.M. bottom, where
Fern declined, and Glendower challenging Blaze, de-
feated him. Flatcatcher came immediately after, was
alongside on entering the cords, and after a remarkably
severe race, won by a neck; Blaze was third, beaten a
length from the second, and beating Fern by nearly a
length and a half. Run in 1 min. 52 sec.
