The Prendergast was the principal event decided, and
the easy victory achieved by Sydney somewhat compen-
sated his backers for the disappointment which they ex-
perienced by his defeat on Tuesday. The weather was
delightfully fine, and altogether a most satisfactory meet-
ing was brought to a conclusion. Many important re-
forms are about to be adopted at Newmarket, and we
understand that they will be brought into operation
during the approaching Houghton Meeting. Several
new Selling Races have been established, and they will
be regulated by the following excellent rules :
" It is a condition of all the Selling Stakes and Plates
in which the winner is to be sold by auction, that the
surplus (daily) above the price for which the horse is en-
tered to be sold shall be paid two•thirds to the fund and
one-third to the owner of the second horse ; but if the
one-third should exceed the ♦slue of the prize, the owner
of the second horse shall receive only the value of the
prize, and all the remainder shall be paid to the fund.
The sales will take place in the enclosure of the weigh-
ing stand as soon as all the jockeys are weighed, and no
horseman shall be allowed within the rails."
An accident occurred to the returning "special," but
fortunately it was attended with no alarming results. At
Burnt Mill the train ruu into a truck, which was knocked
off the line, and this occurrence occasioned a delay of
about an hour. The accident caused considerable an-
noyance to the principal railway officials, who, to do
them justice, adopted every precaution to guard against
an occurrence of this nature. The blame wholly rests
with• the subordinate officers at the Burnt Mill station.
