YESTERDAY'S RACING AT NEWMARKET, &

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—The Grand Duchess with young liiett up, in a
spin fur the 5 soya. Stakes opened the day's sport with a
most exciting race; the winner ,end Sardanapalus
bounced away at a strong bat, followed by the Exotic
filly. The Celeste filly in starting fell—the Duchess
maintained her lead throughout, end won a splendid
race from Nat on Sardanapalus, by a neck, Butler, on
the Exotic filly, being only a long neck behind.
.In the spurt for the Royal Stakes, Norman, on Mida3,
jumped off with a stiff lead at starting, Harpsichord
laying second, and Ariosto third; they travelled in this
order to the descent from the bushes, where Ariosto
crept into the second place, and, chellengiug Midas a
doEn strides from the chair, won easy by a length.
The next stake that stood for 'decision on the roll
of time was the grand one of the week—the Cesare-
witch—which, singular to say, has resulted in the victory
of an extreme outsider. The field, numbering 26, was got
well from the post, several of the fast light-weights laying
in front till near the distance; here it was 15 r with all
but Barcelona, Candlewick, Mrs. Taft, Darkie, Dulcet,
and Hippolytus; half way up it the race was no longer
in doubt, Mrs. Taft, a six-year old with a stone for every
year, steered admirably by Steggles, cleared the field,
and won rather easily by two lengths; Barcelona, who
had looked well for three parts of the race, beating
Candlewick four lengths for second place, the latter a
length a head of Hippolytus; Dulcet fifth, and Darkie
sixth. Tho race was run at a good pace, as the time,
4 min. 6 sec., will certify. It is a funny fact that not
one of the seven prophetic celebrities have hit the mark;
my particular fancy, Hippolytus, ran no nearer than
fourth, and not a bad performance against the winner's
either, when it is considered that he gave three years for
one pound difference in weight. I believe this is the first
time Mr. Bevill has ever had the luck to win a large
stake or handicap, and it is to be hoped, now that Mrs.
Taft has broken the charm, he may go on and conquer.
The winner was not mentioned in the ring at starting,
although 1,000 to 30 had been repeatedly offered in the
town, and in a few instances taken. It is generally
believed that with regard to the bookmakers they are on
the right side of the post this time, and that the aris-
tocracy and public, the former especially, have dropped
the circulating article very stiffly. The Clearwell Stakes
shook the nerves of the ring into a most electric paced
gallop by the-unexpected defeat of the crack Elcot, who
actually gave way at the cords and left the race to King-
ston and. Harbinger, the former getting a little the best
of it as he approached the chair, and winning out of the
fire by a short neck from the Goodwood horse; Ambrose
was a bad third, and Elcot fourth; Cara Cara, Theodine,
St. Andrew, and Major Pitt's Ratan filly beaten off
early. This running of Kingston's, giving 6lbs to Har-
binger, 31b to Elcot, and 61b to everything ,else in the
race, must not be forgotten, as the animal evidently im-
proves with every appearance in public.
The Cambridgeshire betting has not been materially
influenced by the decision of the Cesarewitch; Curl and
Newminster still maintaining the lead as first favou-
rites at 10 to 1 each—the Heriot, however, has advanced
to 12 to 1, Candlewick to 13 to 1, Prime Minister to 14
to 1, and Breba 25 to 1.

The following are the fields for to-morrow's races, as
near as they can be ascertained at the present moment:
—Dinner Stakes—Greengage (Nat), 1; The filly by
Alarm, 2; The filly by St. Martin, 3. Bretby Stakes—
Red Hind or Glenluce, 1; Trinket, 3; Tsga filly, 4.
200 Soya. Stakes—Uriel, 1; Bordeaux; 2.

NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.

MONDAY NlGHT.—Speculators from all parts and
every grade poured in this evening, and the room, from
nine o'clock until after midnight, was thronged. The
amount of business, however, was not by any means
commensurate with the numbers present, and the alte-
rations were confined to a few of the Cesarewitch
horses. Hippolytus and Darkie improved on the pre-
vious quotations, and Antigone, displacing her stable
companion, became a very prominent favourite; Sauter-
la •Coupe also advanced several points, and 20 to 1 was
the extreme laying price against Candlewick, Westow,
and The Italian. Goldfinder receded to 12 to 1, and
Backbiter to 30 to I—neither of them backed. The
general prices left off as follows:

The first day did not by any means come up to the
" Second October" standard, end we cannot speak in
very glowing terms of the great one. The list was
principal event
week in quantity, and the p , if it did not
show much felling off in the extent or the field, proved,
from the moderate caste of the horses engaged, the most
uninteresting ever decided, and, until this morning, ex-
cept, perhaps, to these who were fortunate enough to
get against the leading favourites from the commence-
ment, the reverse of profitable to the round betters. It
is not surprising, therefore, that the assemblage on the
heath this afternoon, although very large, was less than
usual, both in number and grade, or that there Was
little of the excitement we have so often v,:tnessca on
Cesurewitch gatherings.
Time only permits us to add that the race came off in
favour of au animal that bail been backed in tho town
at 1,000 to 30, but woe not mentioned the ;hag ou the

heath. The professionals are good winners. Particulars
