NEWMARKET SPRING MEETING.-FRIDAY.

The concluding day of the First Spring Meeting wa
rendered somewhat unpleasant by the stormy weather ;s
for, although the morning was remarkably fine, the sky
became overcast towards noon, when the racing commenced,
and drenching rain fell for some time. The effect of the
wet, however, was beneficial in laying the dust which bad
been so very annoying during the week, and which might
easily have been subdued by the use of so simple an appli-
ance as the water cart. It is unnecessary to refer to the
racing here, as its character is not calculated to affect the
future. Robin Hood (Lord Portsmouth's) won the New-
market Stakes ; but, although odds of 3 to 1 were freely
laid on him, Mr. Savile's Sealskin managed to run him to
a head. The sport concluded at 3 20, and by half past 4
the " specials," both for London and the North were de-
spatched without any inconvenience or delay. The fol-
lowing is a return of the running :
