NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING-MONDAY.

The usual characteristics of the opening week at New-
market are great quietness, and it does not appear there
will be an exception on this occasion. There is plenty of
racing (we begin with ten events to-day), but it is not
very exciting; the stakes are not very important, and the
fields are small. Still, if the weather is fine, it is one of the
most enjoyable of the whole six meetings, and it is that
absence of bustle and excitement which is its chief charm.
The Craven Stakes, sometimes called the Trial, brought
out Sultan and Assineboiuu to meet Lord Lyon across the
fiat, but they might as well have staid in their stables, as
the favourite came out like a lion ascending the hill, and
won, hard held, by whit might have been any number of
lengths. The result of the Hindklap of 50 soya, T. Y.C.
was a fine specimen of Attuiral handle:typing. At
first sight, Pericles, a t'iree-yr-old, and a roarer, with Bst
51b ou him, looked out of it; but, after a good race with the
Maid of Mashatn filly, lie non very cleverly by half a
length. For Lord Glasgow to win one race and run second
in the next is remarkable, but this his lordship accom-
plished with Sister to Aschaui and the Maid of Masham filly.
The Free Handicap witnessed the discomfiture of a very
warm French favourite, Czar, who was really never in the
race, which that splendid, specimen of a thoroughbred,.
Cecrops, won with the top weight of 9st 21b, after a fine
finish with Lord Ronald.
The weather was very wet and boisterous in the fore
part of the day, but turned out fine towards the close. The
attendance on the Neath was as small as we ever remember.

They left the post nearly in a line, but after running a
few strides Sister to Ascham, in the centre, took a clear
lead of Guinivere, and the favourite on the lower ground,
Leybourne, with Thalia, Siiankor, and Violent following
next a trifle on their right. When fairly in the dip Guini-
yore gave way, and her place was taken by Lord Stamford's
colt, who followed the leaders into the cords, but without
a chance of getting up, Sister to Ascham winning rather
cleverly at last by a neck ; a bad third. Guinivere was
fourth, Thalia fifth, Leybourne sixth, and Violent seventh,
close together; then came at intervals Annie Laurie colt

100 to 8 agst Feodor.
In consequence of the race being run in a heavy shower
but little could be seen of the early portion of the contest,
but from the information of the jockies we glean that the
Maid of Masham filly, in company with Pericles, Confede-
rate, Indian Star, and Magpie, got away in advance and
ran in company to half-way in the cords, where Pericles,
on the lower ground, came out and won a fine race by half
a length. Indian Star was third, beaten three lengths from
Lord Glasgow's filly, who finished a head in advance of
Confederate, who was placed fourth, Court Card was fifth,
close up, and the Topsail colt sixth. The 'others were
widely distributed, the last three being Union Jack, Dutch
Admiral, and Gas.

With the exception of Beauclerk, who got badly off, an
excellent start was effected, in which Gretna, with Lord-
Ronald, Cecrops, Jasper, Diadem, the favourite, Lasses, and
Abergeldie, lying up, came on nearly in a line a length or so
in advance of Paris, Thalassius, The Skipper, and Maid
Marian into the Abingdon Mile bottom. Here Gretna gave
way, and the running was taken up by Lord Ronald, closely
pressed by Cecrops, the pair being joined half-way in the
rails by Leases. From this point the three came on clear of
their horses, Lord Ronald holding his own until within a
dozen strides from home, when Cecrops got up and won in
the last stride by a neck ; Leases, who died away to no-
thing, finished a bad third ; Jasper was fourth, close up
with whom came Gretna, Diadem, Czar, Maid Marian, and
The Skipper. Paris and Beauclerk were the last two, the
latter cantering home a long way in the rear.
