NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.

MONDAY.

The opening of the meeting certainly disappointed ex-
pectation. Although the morning trains brought a large
accession of visitors from London and the north, the atten-
dance on the heath was not so numerous as that on the
first day of the First October Meeting. The card, indeed,
possessed very few attractions either for the genuine betting
man or the less interested lover of racing. Originally ten
events were appointed for decision, but of these four were
compromised. The Handicap Plate was therefore the only
item of interest which the card contained, and the race for
it excited considerable curiosity, from the fact of the "trial
horses" of nearly all the leading favourites of the Cesare-
witch being amongst the competitors. Thus the figure
made by the " performers " was watched with much inte-
rest. Sir William, as was anticipated, threw some light on
the chance of Paste, whilst the positions held in the betting
by Calpe, Asteroid, the Giraffe filly, La Vapeur, and Rap-
parec were affected by the running of their respective stable
companions, Chere Arnie, Moorhen, King of Diamonds,
Mdlle. de Chantilly, and Weazel. The rase, it will be
seen, was won by Chere Amie, who is trained in the same
stable with Calpe.

More pleasant weather could scarcely have been desired ;
the atmosphere was bright and warm, and despite the
meagre supply of sport, the afternoon on the heath was
thoroughly enjoyed. The movements relative to the
Cesarewitch are described at the foot of the subjoined re-
turn of the racing.
