(RECEIVED LAST EVENING.)
NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING.

MONDAY EVENlNG.—Although the list does not as yet ex-
hibit any extravagant " symptoms" of sport, we have every
reason to anticipate a brilliant wind-up to one of the best
seasons on record. On this day's racing we need not dwell—
it was ample ; and now that so many horses are released
from the great event of the Meeting, there can be no doubt
that the Plates, Handicaps, and Selling Stakes will fill well,
and that the addition of many other matches to those made
yesterday evening, will enable the Stewards to extend the
meeting to Saturday. Everything tends to encourage a belief
that such will be the case. The town was never known to be
sofull of horses, the weather favourable, although somewhat
boisterous, and the attendance of company of every grade
quite up to " concert pitch." Hi' herto attention has been
exclusively devoted to the Cambridgeshire Stakes, which, not-
withstanding the declarations made at Tattersall's last week,
has turned out a good betting race. A great deal of business
was transacted ou it last night, The Baron, Ould]reland,
Alarm, Best Bower, Chertsey, Yardley, and Flattery having
plenty of friends; Ould Ireland decidedly moat in demand;
Wolf-dog was on the decline. The prices, up to midnight,
were as follows :

We have already stated that a large company has been
attracted to the town by the prospect of fine weather and
fine sport, and large it is without taking into account the
" chance customers" who availed themselves of the special
train, with the sole purpose of witnessing the race for the Cam-
bridgeshire. All the inns are full; and lodgings, hacks, and
flys have been, and are likely to continue to be, at a high
premium till the end of the Meeting Our attention
as yet has been so entirely taken up by the immediate busi-
ness of the day, as to put a list of the arrivals out of the
question. Premising, therefore, that his Royal Highness Prince
George of Cambridge, and a host of fashionables were on the
heath, we must proceed without further. 'preliminary to de-
scribe, as fully as circumstances will admit of, the various

signed to Scarlet Runner, who, with Paultons and the Aina-
ryllis filly in close attendance, made'running at a good pace
to the New Ground. Paultons then went in front, and had
a decided lead till half-way up the ropes, when Fair Char-
lotte challenged, caught him on the post, and made it a dead
heat.; Scarlet Runner an indifferent third. The stakes were
afterwards divided, and Fair Charlotte walked over.

to 1 agst Wee Pet, 25 to 1 agst King Cob, 50 to 1 agst Flattery,
50 to 1 agst Espoir, and 50 to 1 agst Event.—The horses
were got off at the first attempt, and in the most perfect style
imaginable, all being so nearly level, that there could not
have been four lengths between the first and last; Best
Bower and Yardley were a trifle in advance, perhaps, but
were immediately pulled back, and Jet took up the running
at a strong pace, followed by Chertsey, Best Bower, Yardley,
Alarm, Secundus, Event, Elemi, and several others, The Baron
lying about eighth, with Wee Pet in his wake. In very
nearly this order they went a few strides beyond the Bed
Stand; Event then rushed through her horses, and went on
with a strong lead, followed by Best Bower and Yardley,
Alarm on their left, about fourth, The Baron, Elemi, Wee
Pet, Ould Ireland, and several others, whose colours we could
not catch, following them. The front rank was unbroken up
to the Puke's Stand, where Ould Ireland and The Baron—in
fact, all the Irish korses were beaten, and Alarm, taking the
second place, and Yardley the third, the race was left to them.
Alarm waited to the cords, where lie went up to Event,
quitted her half-way up, and won by a couple of lengths,
Event having a similar advantage over Yardley. Best Bower
was fourth, and behind him Elemi, Flattery, Espoir, and
Wolf-dog, so close together that we cannot say which. was
fifth. The pace was very fast.

of knowing and appreciating your worth, and witnessing the
sentiments of affection and regard which we entertain for
you. I shall not add anything, but merely again return

ing toast. 'lt is, " Merry have we met, and merry may we
soon meet again."
The toast was duly acknowledged by the plaudits of the
company.
At the close, Mr. W. W. SIMPSON, of London, addressel
his Lordship in the following terms : My Lord, this
must have been, if not the most glorious, yet the proudest
day in your Lordship's life—a day on which the sun has
broken through the darkest clouds, and the morning stars
must have " sang together:" and the collected thousands
of your Lordship's tenants are now shouting, and will be
ever shouting, for j,.y. My Lord, in all human probability
we " nc'er shall look upon the like again." The effects of
such a marvellous display of the reciprocal interests, as
between landlord and tenant, will pervade all time. The
contented bearing of your Lordship's tanantry, in every
grade of life, down to the smallest occupiers, who evidently
belong to that improving, neat and comfortable class, which
from my intercourse in my professional avocations for the
last twelve years, I have obserVed pre-eminently attaches
to the province of Ulster. I cannot conclude, my Lord,
without expressing to your Lordship my gratitude for the
urbanity and kindness shown to me by your Lordship and
your deservedly esteemed agent, the Dean of Ross. lam
proud, also, to have to acknowledge the great attention I
received from James Watson, Esq., of Brookhill, that worthy
veteran and champion of the Protestant ascendancy of these
realms, and the best institutions of the United Kingdom,
having, at the same time, due regard to living at peace with
all men, " as far as is consistent with the maintenance of the
integrity of the empire."
On a given signal the band struck up the "National An-
them," which closed the proceedings. The company retired
peaceably, all evincing the pleasure they had experienced at
the entertainment.—lpswich Journal.
