NEWMARKET SECOND SPRING MEET-

ING.

Newmarket, Monday Afternoon.
In anticipation of an alteration originally settled to
take place in 1835, the above meeting will commence
to-morrow, instead of Monday, as heretofore. This
change, we believe, has been made to prevent the
necessity of travelling and transacting business on
Sunday, and will be equally agreeable and surprising
b Sir Andrew, who must have looked upon the pur-
suits of the turf as altogether incompatible with a
proper observance of the Sabbath, and who is, doubt-
less, ignorant of the fact that long before his bill was
brought in the change abovementioned was formally
discussed by. the Jockey Club, and only lost by a very
small majority.
The list contains the skeleton of plates and stakes
for three days, none of which had closed at the time
of sending off our parcel. It does not seem probable
that the entries will be either numerous or important,
a great number of the best horses having taken their
departure to meet their engagements at Epsom and
Ascot. Amongst them are the following :—Lord
Jersey's Glencoe, Lord Jersey's Nell Gwynne, Lord
Jersey's Datura, Lord Jersey's Flycatcher, Lord Jer-
sey's Lucius, Mr. W. Edwards' Intriguer, Mr. Watt's
Bubastes, Mr. Watt's Rockingham, Mr. Watt's Bel-
shazzar,
Lord Chesterfield's Glaucus, Lord Chester-
field's Alexis, Mr. Walker's Cotillon, Mr. Walker's
Velocity, Mr. Batson's Plenipo, &c. Shilelah, Bent-
ley, and several other Derby horses took their sweats
on Saturday, and will move in a few days. Mr.
Walker's Delirium injured his foot some days back in
consequence of throwing a shoe, and is now returning
to the north in company with Anne and Botanist.
According to the calendar, the races will be con-
fined to the following :
TUESDAY.—The usual Rowley Mile Plate; a Sweep-
stakes of 10 sous. each, T. Y. C., for threes and fours
(the winner to be sold for 60, &c.) ; and three Handi-

caps.
WEDNESDAY.—A Handicap Plate, A. F. ; a Sweep-
stakes of 10 sovs. each, for three yrs. old, T. Y. C.
(the winner to be sold for 100, &c.) ; and a free Han-
dicap.
THURSDAY.—The Jockey Club Plate, B. C. ; the
T. M. M. Plate ; and a Sweepstakes of 25 sovs. each,
for two yrs. old, T. Y. C., to which there are nine
subscribers.
In the course of the week the Claret, Port, and
Ale Stakes for 1835 will close. The Whip may be
challenged for to-morrow ; and Mr. Cosby has to de-
clare by the end of the meeting whether he accepts
the challenge for the Eclipse Foot or resigns it.

MAY B.—This being Ascension Day, the morning
was ushered in by the ringing of bells and other de-
monstrations of joy. Soon after six o'clock the Right
Worshipful the Mayor, the Members of the Corpora-
tion, Trinity House, &c., in their splendid new barges;
started from the quay, accompanied by a number of
steamers and barges, also a keel, rowed by 24 oars,
and amidst the roaring of cannon, proceeded to Shields,
where they partook of a sumptuous breakfast. They
returned to the Mansion-house at one, and were IT,
galed with good old English fare. Again, at two,
amidst the ringing of bells and thundering f cannon,
they started for Iledwin Strelms. On their return,
these conservators of the river Tyne landed on the
King's Meadows. The day was remarkably fine ; the
various sports went off with the greatest eclat ; and it
is only justice to the present proprietor to state,withont
a single accident of any description occurring, either
on this or on any former occasion, since the commence-
ment of these races, where the crowd Is one of the
greatest in the kingdom. A few sparks, who fancied
themselves of the first water, and especially a gentle-
man from Shields, who is said to have, at some time
previous, laid out a little money for his education in
une, deux, cinque," amused themselves vif4,l) tiii-ow-
ing oranges into George Hiint.7,'s marqiiee. The
scramble for the orarzes answered 'the' expectation to
its f.,11145t extent,"'for almost in a twinkling poor
