IPSWICH.

Mr. Merry has worked well and successfully in
the cause of Ipswich Races, and has compiled a
programme which will attract the attention of all
racing men, and which will enable them to occupy
the interval between the Second October and the
Houghton right pleasantly. Not one of the least
agreeable incidents of the Ipswich meeting is the
social re-union which takes place after the races.
The Chantry Stakes will not bring out many
starters. Infanta will be penalized 7lbs, but Ido
not see a more attractive name in the list than
Maid of Orleans.

A rather queer lot is left in the Suffolk
Handicap, and the Greek and Pactolus are the
only two which I fancy. For the Borough Members
Plate I shall select Nutfield, who was " hacked"
about at Newmark-et, and whose exercise on the.
Heath may have improved him. Weatherbounti
shall represent my interest for the Innkeepers'
Plate. Tease is not badly treated by the Handi-
capper for tho Welter Cup, and I shall place faith
in his getting through his journey with success.
For the Ipswich Nursery my fancy leans to the
Maid of Orleans and Codicil.

Kelso is so remote that metropolitan sportsmen
bestow very little attention upon its meeting. For
the Roxburgh Handicap I am inclined to trust
Gaspard, whose Cesarewitch running is certainly
quite good enough to enable him to win.

If Breeze be in any form she will win the Kelso
Plato. I shall not interfere with the second day's
racing. A FRESH MAN.

TATTERSALL' S—Alox n AY.
If a full room, the rapidity with which money changed
hands, and a total absence of all complaints may be con-
sidered as indicative of a satisfactory Settling, that which
took place this afternoon may be Safely included in that
category.

So fully were subscribers engaged in winding up ac-
counts on the Second October Meeting, that it was late in
the afternoon before speculation on future events was re-
sumed, but the betting on the Cambridgeshire was never-
theless tolerably brisk. Artless was very firm, and after 9
to 1 had been booked about her, 8 to 1 was taken, whilst so
sweet were a portion of those present upon Honey, that she
was advanced to the position of second favourite, and 10 to
1 was frequently taken about her towards the close. As
much as 14 to 1 was at first laid about North Lincoln, but
12 to 1 was the final offer against him. Lady Alice and
Mazzini were in some request at the prices quoted The
following nine were backed at evens against the field :
Artless, North Lincoln, Ambush, Lady Alice, Broadlands,
Honey, Volta, Geologic, and Mutineer.
For the Derby 7 to 1 was taken about Umpire, and after
12 ponies had been laid against The Wizard. lie was sup-
ported at 10 to 1. Several inquiries were made after Thor-
manLy, but we saw no actual business transacted about
him.
