The Two Thousand day was chiefly remarkable for its
dulness. Although the weather was fine, and the attend-
ance of the company very numerous, yet the proceedings
seemed " slow," and tedious. The success of Diophantus,
however, roused the visitors into enthusiasm, and the cheers
with which the judge's decision was greeted were not
merely a transitory ebullition of excitement, for Lord Stam-
ford has endeared himself to the Newmarket townfolk by
many acts of charity.

death occurred last Saturday morning to Mr. Felix Daly,

deceased went to bed on Friday night, apparent3y well, but
