The race for the Newmarket Stakes was the principal
feature of interest and importance. Wentworth, the
leading favourite for the Derby, achieved a victory in a
style which scarcely pleased the cognoscenti. After the
race he receded to 7 to 2 in the Derby betting,
Tha racing commenced at 12 o'clock, and terminated
at half-past 2. Alost of the company availed themselves
of the " special" to town, which was despatched from
Newmarket about an hour after the last race, under the
superintendence of Mr. Watt, of the traffic department.
The journey was very satisfactorily performed in about
two hours and a half.
