NEWMARKET SPRING MEETING.-3IoNDAy.

Newmarket-heath is generally in one of the two extremes
of mud or dust. To-day it was the latter that gave us a
1.:4:.t0 of its quality in the early part of the day, succeeded
by rain in the afternoon. The great race of the meeting—
the Two Thousand—hardly excites the usual interest
Booked as a certainty for Lord Lyon since the disappear-
' rwee of Student from the rank of favourites, speculation
on it has been paralyzed, and the belief that the field
would be small as it was moderate in quality has made it
almost a dead letter in the market.

In the Prince of Wales's Stakes, a handicap over the
Rowley Mile, Mr. Chaplin's Broomielaw, who was the fa-
vourite, despite evincing signs of temper and boring on
his horses at the finish, managed to win.
There was a close finish between the three placed in
the Maiden Plate, the favourite Batty, a Buccaneer filly,
and Primrose finishing a head and neck from the Marquis
of Hastings's Prodigal,which, coming on the victory of the
Duke'in the Handicap Plate, proves the Danebury stable
to be in form.

The rain held up, and the afternoon turned out fine.
The Princess of Wales's Stakes of 100 sovs each, h ft, for
4-yr-old fillies, Bst 101 b each ; penalties and allowances.
One mile, 7 furlongs, 56 yards. 6 subs.

Mr. Merry's Mcestissima filly, Bst 101 b (11. Covey) 2
The betting opened at 7 to 4 on the Moestissima filly
but closed at 5 to 4 on Salliet.

The Moestissima filly made the play at a very slow pace
across the flat, and to half-way up the hill, where Salliet
came away, and won in a canter by a length.
Handicap Plate of 50 sous, for 3-yr-olds and upwards.
One mile 17 yards.

Betting—Even agst The Duke, 5 to 1 agst Arbutus, 100
to 15 agst Hopvine, and 10 to 1 agst any other (offered).
The flag fell to a capital start, and Grapeshot at once
went to the front, Chronometer, Arbutus, Tomahawk, El-
land, and The Duke.'showing well up in the wake of the
leader. The horses ran in compact order to the Bushes,
where Grapeshot, Arbutus, and Chronometer gave way,
and Elland, closely waited on by The Duke, Sister to
Ascbam, Tomahawk, and Eakring, took the command.
Half way up the cords The Duke made his effort, at once
took the lead, and eventually won cleverly by three-
quarters of a length ; three lengths between second and
third ; Tomahawk was fourth, Eakring fifth, Arbutus
sixth, and the last three were Denmark, Chronometer, and
Le Bearnais.

by Broomielaw, Endsleigh, Mr. Pitt, Effervescence, and
Pintail running wall together to the bushes, where Lough-
rea was beaten, and immediately afterwards Pintail gave
way, as did also Plutus and Vandervelde, who had run in
good positions to approaching the cords. At this point
Endsleigh, who had taken up the running at the bushes,
was joined by Broomielaw, Effervescence, and Mr. Pitt,
but Broomielaw, although he hung very much, and seemed
disposed to give in at every stride, finally won a good race
by a neck ; a length and a half between second and third ;
head third and fourth. Pintail was fifth, and Plutus
headed the pulling up horses, the last pair being Claver-
house and Vandervolde.
