NEWMARKET RACES—TuEsDAY.

The concourse of people assembled on Newmarket Heath
to-day was something immense—larger than was ever
known on any previous Cesarewitch day. All the ordinary
trains running into Newmarket were excessively crowded ;
but the railway authorities, anticipating the amount of extra
traffic, arranged for the starting of several special trains.
As early as 9 o'clock the specials began to arrive from
London, Cambridge, and elsewhere, but the largest was
that which left London at half-past 7. This offered extra-
ordinary facilities to pleasure-seekers, inasmuch as for a
charge of ss. per head passengers wore conveyed from the
metropolis to the headquarters of racing, and back at night.
As might have been expected, a very large number of
people availed themselves of the opportunity thus afforded
of witnessing the decision of the last but one of the great
back-end handicaps. This morning was very fine—more
like August than October—and the number of people who
flocked to the Heath to see the Cesarewitch competitors
canter was very large. Most of the favourites were
fancied, and their respective chances eagerly discussed.
The various teams of horses brought out for exercise upon
the Heath also got a fair share of attention, but the Cesare-
witch animals were those mostly looked after, and those
reputed to have been so highly tried were minutely
watched. A " meeting" took place in front of the rooms
before proceeding to the course, and a good deal of specu-
lation took place, all the favourites being supported for
considerable sums. Chepstow was again firm in the quo-
tations, while Proserpine, Lothario, Regalia, and Lecturer
were accredited with legitimate money. The only outsider
inquired after was Eudsleigh. Place-betting was also
in great vogue, Regalia and Lothario being backed for
considerable amounts. There was, however, no startling.
feature in the betting, and, despite the fact that Mr.
Graham " declared to win with Regalia," her stable com-
panion, Chepstow, was backed to win a large sum. The
scene made up of broughams and carriages, ladies and
gentlemen on horseback, and thousands upon foot, was a
very imposing one. Racing commenced at 12.10 with a
Sweepstakes of 5 sovs. each, which was won cleverly by
Gulnara defeating three others. This was followed by the
Handicap Sweepstakes of 15 sovs. each, for which 11 of
the 13 coloured went to the post. Lord Bateman's horse,
Moulsey, won easily, but he was not backed for much
money, the " talent" believing that he could not defeat
his former opponent, Ostregor, or concede any weight to
the three-year-olds. The Town Plate was landed by the
favourite, Douro. The. Royal Stakes—the race before the
Cesarewitch—only induced three to go to the post, and it
proved the good thing it looked for Westwick, who defeated
Jack-in-the-Green easily. Twenty-five jockeys were
weighed out for the great race of the day—the Cesarewitch
—and while the horses were cantering to the post some of
them were very heavily backed. Proserpina was installed
first favourite, as little as 100 to 30 being accepted about
her. Chepstow was in demand at :100 to 15, while Lec-
turer was backed at the last moment to win thousands at
9 to 1. Potomac advanced to 20 to 1. The race being fully
described below, little is necessary by way of introductory
remarks. The lot were despatched at the first attempt,
Caithness making the pace for his stable companion for
some distance. The popular colours of Baron Rothschild
were carried by Lothario, who was always well in front ;
indeed, on approaching the dip, shouts were raised pro-
claiming his victory, but in the dip Lecturer (with whom
the Marquis of Hastings, it is said, stood to win £100,000)
headed the Baron's horse, and won, after a game finish, by
half a length from Lothario, who defeated Proserpine
head only for second place. The excitement was some-
thing immense, and the marquis and marchioness were
overwhelmed with congratulations. Hibberd, who steered
the game son of Costerdale to victory, also got his share of
the ovation. A Selling Race intervened, and then the race
for the Clearwoll Stakes—which proved to be one of the
most exciting races of the day—took place. Nine animals
(including Lord Lyon's flying sister Achievement, Plaudit,
Pericles, and six others) went to the post. Odds were freely
aid on Achievement, but, despite the vigorous riding of
Constance, who called resolutely upon the filly at the
finish, she was beaten literally in the last stride by a head
by Plaudit, who was immediately afterwards backed for the
Derby. The defeat of the hitherto invincible Achievement
created a great sensation on the .Heath, and formed the
most prominent feature of the Cesarewitch-day.

1 each agst War and Acta3a, 1,000 to 15 agst Ethelred, and
100 to 1 each agst Holstein and Sealskin. The 25 compe-
titors were weighed out and cantered to the post at the ap-
pointed time for the start (2.25), and Mr. M'George suc-
ceeded in despatching them at the first attempt to an excel-
lent start. Caithness, after 50 yards of the distance had been
traversed, went to the front for the purpose of forcing the
pace. He was attended by Medina. The two running to-
gether, were clear of Lothario, Chepstow, Regalia, Ends-
leigh, Dubiety, and Jollity. 1 few strides behind the lot
enumerated were Acta3a, Proserpine, Dulcimer, and Rama,
who headed the remainder, running in a cluster, with the
exception of Slieve Came and Philosopher, who acted as
" whipper in." Coming through the ditch gap Regalia drew
up to the leading division. When fairly through the gap
Caithness and Medina gate way, and Regalia was left with
a slight lead of Endsleigh, Dulcimer, Lothario, Lecturer,
Acta3a, Jollity, and Chepstow. This lot ran in close order
in front of Rama, Proserpina Caithness, and Helen. The
remainder wore somewhat scattered. About a mile from
home Endsleigh and Lothario simultaneously headed the
"top weight." At this point the front division, compristinhge
the above enumerated, closed as they approached
Bushes-hill, and it could scarcely be seen whichf w lead-
ing. Chepstow for a few strides looked rather

with extraordinary gameness, but at the descent sheg gave

effort to keep in the front. The next lot to d

latter
of whom ran with exceeding gameness up to the Bushes-
hill. The race was now loft to Lothario, Proserpina, Lec-
turer, and Actsea, and so well was Baron Rothschild's horse
going that loud shouts wore raised "Lothario wins," and
at that time he held a perceptible lead, but ht the dip Lvc,-

turor, who had been lying almost unobserved on the whip
hand of the Baron's horse, rushed to the front, and Hibbard,
with great skill and judgment succeeded in landing this
game son of Colsterdale a winner by- half a length from
Lothario, who defeated Proserpino by a neck only for
second place. Half a length behind Proserpine was Acteaa
fourth, while a couple of lengths off was Dulcimer fifth ;
Endsleigh was sixth, Sealskin seventh, and Helen eighth.
Regalia was at the head of another lot, which comprised
Jollity, Caithness, and Chepstow, who were pulling up.
Half a dozen lengths behind them was Philosopher, Breda-
maute, Ethelred, and Emigrant, separated by short inter-
vals. The last lot, widely scattered, were Slieve Came,
Medina, Dubiety, and LaFavorite ; the absolute last being
War. Not value of the stakes, £1,545.

mer, Zenobia, Il Re Galantuomo, Lochiel, Pluto, Actwa,
Queen Mary, Mineral, Lively, Puebla, Jollity, Loaf Sugar
Bugler, Chepstow, Medina, Duet, and Proserpino, but as
several of these ran in the Cesarewitch Stakes yesterday,
they were restricted to gentle work only. Broomielaw and
Saccharometer cantered, but Out-and-Outer galloped over
a mile smartly. Master Richard, after leading Vauban
and others of John Day's, went a mile and a half
gallop by himself. Saladin did a similar distance.
Peon and Paris galloped a mile and a quarter. Toma-
hawk galloped a mile and three quarters, and Am-
bition nearly as far. We had a splendid lot of
two-year-olds working, including Achievement, Plaudit,
Marksman, the Palmer, Vauban, Knight of the Garter,
Rose, Inez, rhotographe, The Rake, Ephyre, Satyr, Dove-
tail, Friponnier, Chignon, Bouncoaway, Midwife, Ben

tered freely, and then galloped from half-a-mile to little
over a mile. Volunteer was leading the Rake, and
Friponnier a mile, which distance Split the Difference
took Achievement. Plaudit merely cantered, and his com-
panions, Rose and Chatsworth, went three-quarters of a
mile clipping. Mirella led Marksman, the Sunflower filly,
the Blanche of Middlebie filly, and Sister to Scottish Chief,
a good mile. Friday pioneered Ettrick, Scour de Charite,
and others of Joseph Dawon's, three-quarters of a mile,
sharp. The Hermit was working by himself, and looks
veey big. Knight of the Garter followed Out and Outer,
a mile. Richard Boyce had Flamingo in nice steady exer-
cise. Opoponax galloped three-quarters of a mile
smartly ; but Bombastes was trotting only. The
French-bred Floranthe went a mile uncommonlly well.
Dunblane galloped with old Saccarometer. Ailesbury
was out with the rest of the Duke of Hamilton's
horses, and is very much improved. Nimble led the
three-year-old Splitvote filly a couple of miles,
and the Flutter colt rendered a similar service
to Savernake, who looks in beautiful condition. Lord
Lyon had a two mile spin, with Split the Difference
Knight of the Crescent galloped a couple of miles, and
War accompanied Westwick a like length, Kebe doing a
similar amount of work. Wild Briar had a mile and three
quarters gallop. Neroli did over two miles. Lothario was
eased. Quick March and Bayonnette also exercised freely.
Podargus has returned to Richmond. Slender galloped
two miles and a half. Plutus accompanied Sultan a mile
and a half. Moulsey had a nice gallop of nearly a couple

Sysee, Sweet Anne, Strathclyde, Strathconan, Theresa
filly, Tesina filly, Tumbler, Violent, Viridis, Vixen, Vaba-
lathus, Whirligig, and Zenobia, were also doing a fair
amount of exercise; but with the training grounds so ex-
tensively patronised it was impossible to enumerate the
work done by each animal. However, we have alluded to
what was really effected by the leading competitors of the
remainder of the week at headquarters. Several animals
will return home to-day ; but a great number will stay the
Houghton Meeting over.
