had been committed. She was insensible when he
saw her.

Mr. Yardley—Was that the effect of intempe-
rance, or of anything that had been administered
to her ?

Witness—She had more the appearance as if
some narcotic had been administered. It did not
appear as if she had berm drinking much.
The prisoner was remanded for a week.

NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING.
THE CAMBRIDGESHIRE DAY.
A dull slate-coloured sky and a piercing cold
wind rendered the Cambridgeshire Day somewhat
dreary and uncomfortable. They deterred mere
pleasure-seekers from visiting the Heath, and even
diminished the attendance of those persons who
take a pecuniary interest in the sport. Several
other circumstances may bra enumerated to explain
the slight falling-off in the company which was
perceptible. -The " great race " was " set " for a
quarter to one, and hence the market folk, at that
early hour, were unable to quit their stalls, and the
villagers could not complete their purchases in time
to witness the commencement of the proceedings.
Speculation, too, had been so limited that the event
did not excite general interest. Still it must not
be inferred from these remarks that the attendance
on the Heath was by any means small—it was only
not up to the average. Twelve o'clock was the time
appointed for the first race, which was decided on
the Top Course ; it was the Feather Plate, and ex-
cited very little interest. No sooner had the jockeys
weighed for it than the business of weighing the
riders for the Cambridgeshire was proceeded with,
and this was a task of some perplexity, caused by
the confusion which the crowded state of the weigh-
ing room created. In due course the numbers of
the running horses were displayed on the telegraph
board. Meanwhile a Babel of tongues arose from
the ring, and the shouting from that quarter was
deafening. There was, however, evidently "more
noise than nuts," and speculation—amongst backers
of horses at least—was pursued with little spirit.
The changes which were made in the relative posi-
tions of certain horses will be sufficiently indicated
by the list of quotations appended to the return of
the race.
Almost the first horse saddled was North Lin-
coln, and Wells mounted him in the stables at the
top of the town. A crowd immediately surrounded
them, and followed them down the course. After
North Lincoln came Lifeboat and Mazzini, and
then followed Ditto and Gracchus. Artless, Maud,
and Broadlands were amongst the next who gal-
loped down the course. Ariadne and J. Osborne's
two were saddled under the ditch, near the starting
post. The elaborate description of the race which
is given elsewhere suggests few comments. A
veritable outsider was the winner. Red Eagle was
scarcely mentioned in the betting, whilst his stable
companion, Lady Alice, was the most trusted repro-.
sentative of his owner and his friends. Just befrJre
the start, however, we believe that Mr. J. o,:porne
took 500 to 5 about the winner. It may Ile remem-
bered that Red Eagle was frequently quoted at out-
side prices for the last Derby ; bia't the public, at
least, never gave him credit for possessing much
racing merit. His success to-day principally bene-
fits the fielders, and has Given them a " turn' which
they have not experienced for a long time. Ariadne
justified the higla opinion which the Danebury
party entertained of her chance. The favourites
were beaten after going a little more than half way.
North Lincoln, who had run forward in the early
part of the race, was amongst the first to disap-
pear from the front, and then Mazzini and Artless,
in succession, declined the encounter
When the great event had been decided, and the
excitement which its unexpected result had occa-
sioned had somewhat abated, a movement was made
to the Flat, where the remainder of the day's sport
was to take place. The subsequent races were not
marked by any incident of importance, and the
cold gradually lessened the numbers on the Heath
until only an ordinary day's attenda nee was left to
witness the termination of the races.

After getting through the ditch gap, Pomona and Lady
Bird alternately made play. At the Bushes, Neoptolemus,
Tormentor, and The Pitman joined her, and Lady Bird
dropped behind them. On making the turn, Neoptolemus
was in front, but at the top of the hill he tired and ran all
over the Course, and The Pitman and Simple Simon went
on together, Pitman winning by three-quarters of a length ;
bad third ; Lady Bird was fourth ; Tormentor fifth, and Po-
mona sixth, wide intervals separating each.
