NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING.

TIIE CAMBRIDGESHIRE.

To-day's event stanls in much the same relative posi-
tion to the Cesarowith as the Oaks does to the Derby.
Ono rarely hears it mentioned till the race is decided, and

durance of the animal engaged, yet with the general body
of the racing world .t yields in importance to tho groat
race of last meeting.
The Prince of Wales was present, but the attendance of
the general public mas smaller than we remember it. The
weather was brilliantly fine and mild.

miere, and Ammunition, 50 to 1 each agst Ceerops and
Duke of York, and 66 to 1 agst War.
The 33 competitors assembled at the post shortly after
the time set down, but in consequence of tho fractiousness
of Jeune Premiere, Wolsey, Blinkhoolie, and Julius, the
start was delayed some time, which was further extended
through the last-named flinging out viciously on joining his
horses, and striking Cannon severely on the knee and foot ;
in a third attempt ho landed ono on the ribs of Harry
Brailsford. Fortunately the horse was not plated, other-
wise the effects would have been serious to both horse and
rider. Sufficient time having boon allowed Cannon to
recover from the shock, they were again got to the post
and despatched to an admirable start, the lot leaving the
starter in an extended line, which they retained unbroken
for the first 50 yards. The running was then taken up by
Wolsey, closely attended by Knight of the Garter, Lozenge,
Wroughton, andjActaia on the upper ground, with Laneret,
Honesty, Leases, Captain Kidd, the Strafford dam colt,
Corporal, and Nu occupying the centre, to these succeeded
Blinkhoolie, the Attack colt, Montgoubert, Julius, Cecrops,
Nu, Grey Stocking, and Armourer on the left, Adam Bede,
Nancy, and William Tell being in the extreme rear, the
latter being started to win some bets. In those positions
they streamed across the fist, but on commencing the as-
cent of the hill, Kenyon steadied his horse, which allowed
Knight of the Garter to appear in advance, closely attended
by Lozenge, Laneret, Honesty, and Actuary to whom suc-
ceeded Wroughton, Lord Glasgow's colt, Corporal, and
Armourer, to half way up the hill, where he gave way, and
Wolsey again resumed the command in company with
Lozenge, Honesty, and Laneret nearly abreast. Actsoa at
the same time gave way and Wroughton took her place.
The race at this point assumed to interosiing appearance,
as the chances of the leaders appeared so evenly balanced
that it was not until they fairly reached the crown of the
hill that a positive claimant to the honour became 'manifest,
as Lozenge, slightly in advance of Weise), and Laneret,
who had been sadly hampered by Honesty hanging ou him,
drew away and finished a brilliant race home, Wolsey just
getting up in the last stride and finishing with a dead heat.
Laneret was beaten by a length only for third, Honesty,
was fourth, Wroughton fifth, close up with whom came
Knight of the Garter sixth, Actrea seventh, the Strafford
dam colt eighth, Corporal ninth, and Nu next. Several
lengths separated these from Armourer, Grey Stocking,
Captain Kidd, Leases, and Ammunition, to whom suc-
ceeded Harry llrailsforcl, Jenne Premiere, Duke of York,
Mongoubert, and Duchess. The last lot comprised Jasper,
Tormentor, the Attack colt, Hippia, and Cocrops. William
Tell walked in with the crowd.
Deciding Heat—Even betting, Wolsey for choice, who
made most of the running, but was joined half-way in the
distance by Lozenge, who, running the longest, won a fine
race in the last stride by a neck.
