NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.
WEDNESDAY, OCT. 7.

The race established by Mr. Blenkiron has been
called the Second Derby. It would be more correct
to say it was a Derby trial, as some of the best of
the year arc there supposed to contend for the
honour of being first favourite for the Epsom event,
besides the line it gives to the running of others
who are absentees.

Mr. Merry's Belladrum, who had incurred a
penalty of 71b, was struck out on Monday, and the
penalised horses who ran on this occasion were
Ryshworth, Badsworth, and Pretender. The dark
horses who came with a great private reputation
were Pero Gomez and King Cophetua from Sir
Joseph Hawley's stable, and Wild Oats belonging
to the Duke of Hamilton. The latter a leggy but
rather short horse, standing apparently 17 hands,
was, on the strength of a great trial with Leonie,
made the favourite, Pero Gomez, a very muscular
but rather common-looking son of Beadsman, run-
nng him second. The field was a strong one, 21
runners corning to the post, and in addition to
the above-mentioned there were Scottish Queen,
a Blair Athol filly, Consternation, by the same sire,
and King Cophetua. There was not much calling
for description in the race itself, as Pero Gomez
was always in front, attended by Scottish Queen,
and the favourite, Wild Oats, never showed promi-
nently in the hunt. Sir Joseph Hawley's colt won
very easily from Scottish Queen, and the estima-
tion his victory was held in may be gathered from
the fact that 100 to 15 was taken about him for the
Derby.
A feature in the race was the reappearance of
the colours of the Duke of Beaufort on Scottish
Queen, whom his Grace, we believe, has leased
from her breeder, Mr. 'l. Dawson, during her rac-
ing career. _ .

Gomez, 6 to 1 agst King Cophetua, 10 to 1 agst Scottish
Queen, and 100 to 8 each agst Pretender and the Cru-
cifixion filly.

At the third attempt they got away on excellent terms,
and ran widely spread for a few strides, when The Priest
went to the front, followed by Brother to Chattanooga,
Perry Down, Badsworth, and Sir Joseph's two, the latter
holding a position in the centre of the course, to the left of
whom were seen the colours of the favourite, the Cruci-
fixion filly, Pretender, Typhon, Scottish Queen, and Rysh-
worth in a body; the others, headed by Lurline, The
Drummer, and Lady Dewhurst, lying close in their track.
4pproaching the Bushes hill the two leaders disappeared
from the front, and for a brief period Perry Down held
the command ; but he immediately after surrendered his
pride of place to Pero Gomez and his stable companion,
the pair having Badsworth, the Crucifixion filly, Pre-
tender, and Scottish Queen as their immediate followers,
into the Abingdon Mile-bottom. Hero King Cophetua
died away, and his place was then taken by the Duke of
Beaufort's filly on the left, Pretender, with the Crucifixion
filly, Wild Oats, and Lady Dewhurst alone being in the
race. Half way in the rails Fordham brought up Scottish
Queen, and for a stride or two appeared to have an equal
chance with the cherry jacket, bat it was only momentary
as Pero Gomez, answering with great gameness when
called upon, quitted his opponent and won with great ease
by half a length; Pretender finished a bad third; the
Crucifixion filly, who ran past the pulling up horses, was
fourth, Wild Oats fifth, Lady Dewhurst sixth, Perry
Down seventh, The Drummer eighth, King Cophetua
ninth, and Consternation next; The Priest, Brother to
Chattanooga, Le Saphir, Badsworth, and Derventio last,
beaten off.

benefit of the community at large. (Cheers.)
Fourthly, but not least, I hope that the education
of every class will be good of its kind—the " pH-
nrlry," as it is called, the secondary, and the highest
—and that there will be established that connection
and inter-dependence which will enable talent and
merit, in whatever strata of society they may be
found, to have the utmost facility of rising to the
highest station to which they can advance. (Loud
cheers.) I believe we shall in a few years in a
great measure attain this, and then I trust that
the education of this country may fairly be com-
pared to a pyramid, of which the broad basis shall
be co-extensive to the whole body of the people
—of which the parts shall be completely cemented
and compacted together—of which the 'Mi.
versities, and not the least this one, shall be the
apex and the capital. (Cheers.) I would just observe
to you, upon the events which have happened within
the last week in a neighbouring country of Europe,
that when you see, first the navy, and then the
army, and next the people, all, as if by one consent,
rising in rebelling against their Governmint—when
you see, without a conflict worthy of the name, a
Sovereign in exile and a Government overthrown
does it not awaken in your hearts a sense of the
deepest thankfulness, and a sense of the inestimable
blessings of that people whose Queen is enthroned
in the hearts and affections of her subjects, whose
government is founded upon a broad and popular
basis, and the conduct of whose affairs is guided by
the wishes and convictions of the community ?
(Cheers.) I only, in conclusion, repeat on the
part of my friend and colleague and myself our sin-
cere thanks for the kind manner in which you have
been pleased to receive the mention of our names,
and say to you that so long as it is your pleasure
that I should be one of the representatives of the
city of Oxford, so long shall I endeavour to the
utmost of my ability to promote every measure of
rational improvement and progress, and more espe-
cially those which most concern the community in
which we live. (The right hon. gentleman resumed
his seat amid loud cheers.)
Dr. DEANE and Mr. VERNON HARCOURT also ad-
dressed the assembly, who drank their healths with
enthusiasm.
