NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING.
NEWMARKET, THURSDAY NiGirl:Pte
The account sent from the Heath contained all tu,
essential particulars of the races, and indicated the (de°,
of the 1,01,0 Guineas Stakes on the position of some of
the Oaks mares. In the evening it was more decide
d+
to Martingale rising to 8 to 1 (taken), and 31e'd
rope to 12 to 1. The Princess, so far from being affect.%
by the Bee's unaccountable defeat (very few believe la
to have been her true running), rose several points,
from the disposition shown in several quarters, is
dently destined to become a still more prominent
at
vourite. Beyond a large outlay on the Ugly Buck
9 to 2, and a decline in Bay Momus, consequent Q:
Cockamaroo's indifferent debut, there was nothing
in the Derby betting. The undermentioned list of prices
is made up at twelve o'clock at night :
