NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.

A change has come over the weather, and the warm sun-
shine of yesterday gave place to a cloudy sky and a keen
breeze. No time was there to lose in the morning's settling
of accounts, for the races began at 12 o'clock, but business
was conducted very quietly for about an hour, the winners
congratulated, and bookmakers, with very few exceptions,
found to have landed round sums of money. The mishaps
which took place in the Ca3sarewitch, no less than five
having pulled up lame, were a frequent topic of conversation,
and then the company, which was large for an " off day,"
began moving towards the heath. Ten events stood en the
cards for discussion, and the sport was opened by a field of
13 going to the post for the Oatlands Plate, which was won
by Aurelian (fourth in this year's Derby). Large fields went
to the post for every race up to the eighth, the Select Stakes,
for which, after dividing the forfeits with The Lawyer, Ket-

tledrum cantered over. A curious crowd collected around
him at the weighing house, but his training groom liuickly
put his clothes on, and little save his white legs were visible.
At 4 o'clock 12 ran for a Maiden Plate, the winner of which
was claimed, and half an hour afterwards the day's sport
was concluded by Q.E.D. defeating King of Hearts in a
Sweepstakes of 50 sovs each, the other three subscribers not
going to the post. No betting on future events took place
on the heath.

Wild Bird made play at a good pace, followed by Gibral-
tar, Duchess, The Prophet, and Imaus, the others, headed
by Man-at-Arms, lying up. On reaching the site of the
Old Duke's Stand Wild Bird was beaten and was passed by
Aurelian, Gibraltar, and Lord Stamford's colt, the three
running nearly abreast to the brow of the hill, where Imaus
took the second place, but was never enabled fairly to reach
Aurelian, who won cleverly by half a length. Gibraltar
finished a bad third, Duchess fourth, The Prophet fifth, and

where Xurullo took the second place. A fine race home
ensued with the pair, which ended in favour of Q.E.D. by

was the first to make play, having for his immediate fol-
lowers Hariola, the Picnic filly, Tom Sayers, and Hubert ;
Morocco, Bacchus, and Limosina, who headed the rear
division, lying wide on their whip hand. On entering the
cords Blacklock and Hariola appeared in difficulties, and
were in a few strides further passed by Hubert, who, in
company with the Picnic filly and Morocco, came on with
the running, Hubert winning very easily by two lengths, a
head separating the second and third. Blacklock was a
good fourth, Wild Duck was fifth, and Tom Sayers next.

tion, and came on with the running at a strong pace, the
others, with Nutbush and Confidence at their head, lying
in a line close up, with the exception of Lisbon, who got
badly off. On entering the cords Nutbush came to the front,
and in a few strides after obtained a slight lead, waited upon
by Lava, Reaper, and Confidence, when an interesting
race home ensued, Nutbush, notwithstanding her crushing
impost, winning easily by a length and a half, Reaper de-
feating Lava by a head for the second place. Confidence

won easily by two lengths, a head separating the second
and third. Barb Pigeon showed temper at the post, and was
left behind.

Flash in the Pan, in company with Captain Fortibus,
Furious, and Oberon, was the first off, Restes, with Miss
Emma next the rails on the upper ground, lying close up.
On reaching the T.Y.O. post Restes, in company with Obe-
ron, Miss Emma, and Furious, came on with the running,
the Baron's colt with a slight lead, which he held to within
half-a-dozen strides of the chair, where Restes, swerving,
cannoned against Miss Emma, and nearly unseated Daley,
and drove her on to Oberon, and in so doing prevented Mar-
tin getting up, Restes passing the post a head in advance of
Oberon, who defeated Miss Emma by a like distance, a
head only separating the third and fourth, Captain Forti-
bus and Flash in the Pan being close up.
On returning to weigh Martin made an objection against
Restes on the grounds of a cross, which was investigated by
the Stewards after the last race of the day. The Stewards
heard evidence upon the case, and awarded the race to Obe-
ron, but acquitted Challoner from any intentional offence.

100 yards had been traversed he bolted in a contrary direc-
tion, and was out of the race, leaving the lead, waited upon
by Borderer, Roesia, Millionaire, Shepherdess, and Bands-
man in the order we have given them, and in which way
they ran to the T.Y.O. post, where they closed up and ran
abreast into the cords, when Roesia, on the whip hand,with
Borderer and Millionaire, came on together, Roesia with a
