Although only a scanty supply of sport was provided,
yet the meeting was marked by incidents of much in-
terest and importance. The running of Glenmasson,
Ayacanora, King of the Purest, Schiedam, and Kent
excited considerable curiosity and exercised .a per-
ceptible influence on the turf market. Yesterday's
racing was, however, perhaps the most important, as
it was decidedly the most interesting of the week's
sport. The meeting of Fazziletto and Brother to
Bird-on-the-Wing for the Port Stakes occasioned some
brisk betting. Between Lords Derby and Glasgow, the
owners of the two horses, a bet of 1,000/.
was pending
on the result of the race, and this circumstance, coupled
with the reputation of the horses, caused the event to be
regarded with the most lively interest. Fazzoletto was
the favourite, and he bore L• rd Derby's colours in
triumph, Vandernieulin separating him from Brother to
Bird-on-the-Wing. Lord Glasgow was prevented by in-
disposition from witnessing the race, but Lord Derby was
pre, ent to see the success of Fazzoletto.
The backers of Kent for the Two Thousand and Derby
had an opportunity of seeing the horse stripped, but,
although he won in a canter, his performances did not
seem to give general sati-faction.
A special train left Newmarket one hour after the last
race, and convoyed the visitors back to London by half.
