THE RACE,
A crowd of equestrians assembled round the starting
post, but as Mr. Hibburd calhcl the horses together it
gradually dispersed, and the course was left sketched out
clear between lines of spectators reaching from the Red
Stand far beyond the Bushes Hill. No delay occurred in
marshalling the competitors, and at the second attempt
an admirable start was effected. Turbit showed in ad-
vance, with Apathy, Lambourn, Anton, Loyola, Lord of
the Hils, Drumour, Beeswax colt, Kent, Sydney, and
Vedette lying well together, and as •nearly as we could
make out, in the order named, Vedette being by himself
no the far side, and Loyola and Anton running in couples
on the whip hand. No material change was made until
reaching the Bushes Hill, when the Beeswax colt and
Kent almost simultaneously disappeared from the front.
Turbit carried on the running down the hill, and a
shout was raised of " Lord Exeter beats anything."
On reaching the Abingdon Mile bottom, however,
Turbit gave way, and Anton showed in advance,
with Loyola and Vedette iu olose pursuit. Half way
up the hill Vedette rushed to the front, and, after a
most exciting race in, woo cleverly by three-quarters of
a length, the second beating the third by a head ; Sydney
was fourth, being beaten a length from Loyola; Drumour
and Turbit were fifth and sixth, and Kent seventh, close
together. Apathy and Blrba colt were last, beaten off.
Value of the stales, 2,6001.

The year 1840, when it was expected that Prince Al-
bert would attend Newmarket to witness the race for the
Two Thousand, has down to the present time lived in
the memory of the inhabitants as an occasion when the
large:A number of visitors ever assernbl-d on the heath.
The attendance yesterday, however, fully equalled, if it
id not exceed, that of 1840, and the many vehicles
which rattled into the town during the morning forcibly
reminded one of the good old coaching and posting days.
The Two Thousand grew in interest and importance until
he very moment the flags were lowered ; the respecliv,

iwners of the leading favourites seemed equally confi
dent, and the sudden changes which were daily made in
