NEWMARKET, THURSDAY.
The continuance of dry weather, however unfavourable
its influence on the race course, has proved very serviceable
to the inhabitants, and will, we have no doubt, have a bene-
ficial effect on their contributions to the fund for improving
the races. It is many years since they had so full and pro-
fitable a Spring Meeting. Most of the visitors prolonged a
stay for the One Thousand Guineas Stakes run for this after-
noon ; and others, who made a flying visit to see the "Two
Thousand," came down again this mowing, enjoyed a fair
day's racing without the confusion that prevailed on Tues-
day, and left the heath after the last race in ample time for
the special train from Hockerill. Of the day's sport we have
below given full particulars. With reference to the principal
event, we should state that, on Wednesday afternoon, a good
deal of betting took place at 3 to 1 agst Pic Nic (the Estelle
filly), 7 to 2 and 4 to 1 agst Pug ; 3,4, and 5 to 1 agst Lady
Love (the Kremlin filly), and 6,7, and 8 to 1 agst Sister to
Ma Mie. The backers of Lady Love, therefore, were not a
little chagrined to find on the "reading of the list" at night,
that their pet was scratched; nor were the layers agst Kent's
two much better pleased by the odds, instead of 6 to 5 and
5 to 4 agst, having immediately changed to 6 to 4 on them.
The races commenced at two o'clock and terminated at
four with the following results :
Match-200/. h ft. D. M. Lord Exeter's Wee Pet, 5 yrs,
Bst 61b (Mann), beat Sir J. Hawley's Comrade, 3 yrs, 7st 41b,
(Nat), by twenty lengths-6 to son Comrade, who ruptured
a blood-vessel early in the race.

The following also ran :—Lord Albemarle's Tisiphone
(Whitehouse), Mr. Edwards's Prudence (E. Edwards), Lord
Exeter's Timbria (Boyce), and Mr. Newton's Sister to Ma
Mie (Stephenson). Betting-2 to 1 agst Pug, sto 2 agst
Pic Nic, 4 to 1 agst Prudence, 6 to 1 agst Heather Bell,
and 8 to 1 agst Lord Exeter's two. The race was run
throughout in pretty nearly the order it finished, Pic Nic
leading from end to end, and winning easy by a length,
Pug beating Heather Bell by a neck, Prudence a good
fourth, and Tisiphone fifth—the others nowhere.
Mr. Osbaldes:on's Sorella, Bst 91b, received forfeit from
Duke of Bedford's Minotaur, 9st. A.F. ; 200, h ft.

Even on Pic•Nic, and sto 2 agst The Poor Soldier. The
race was between the two favourites, Poor Soldier, who made
all the running, whining, after a close struggle up the cords,
by a neck, the filly never having quite got up. The others
were beaten off.
The Queen's Plate of 100 guineas ; for four yrs old, 9st 81b ;
five yrs, lOst 71b; six yrs and aged, lOst 121 b. R.C.

Lord G. bentinck's John o' Gaunt, aged (Nat) 1
Mr. Ramsbottorn's Pine Apple, 5 yrs 2
Lord Sandwich's Plantagenet, 4 yrs
6 to 4 agst John o'Gaunt, 7 to 4 agst Pine Apple, and
7 to 4 agst Plantagenet.
Plantagenet went off at a moderate pace, and, for about a
mile and a half, had a lead of four or five lengths, when his
chance was nearly extinguished by a horseman, who, cross-
ing the course at speed, ran against and nearly knocked him
down. Immediately, however, recovering himself, he was
allowed to go on with the running, to within half-a-mite of
home; John o'Gaunt then went in front, followed by Pine
Apple, was never caught, and won easy, by a length and a
half; Plantagenet was beaten off.
THE ZANONI Ca.sz. —The Stewards of the Jockey Club,
after hearing the evidence adduced on the part of the owner
of Zanoni, and after an examination of him in their pre-
sence by veterinary surgeons, have given an opinion that
his pedigree is not sufficiently proved to qualify him to start
for any race, and that unless his qualification be proved
before starting for the Chester Cup, bets against him will
be void. We may add, that no doubt of the
identity of the animal exists, or that he is other•
wise than described—viz., the Gladiator colt, and
that it only remains to be proved that the colt de-
livered to Goodman and Higgins is the same that was deli-
vered by them to Worley at Symell. This evid:mce will
shortly be forthcoming, but not in time for the Chester Cup.
A daring robbery was committed here about eleven o'clock
on Tuesday night, on the person of Mr. Wiseman, sen. Al-
' though within a few yards of the Horse and Groom, he was
stopped by three men, pulled off his horse, robbed of his
watch, and 10/. in money, and brutally ill-treated. The
ruffians made their escape before their victim was sufficiently
recovered to give an alarm.

It appears from official returns made to the Rail-
way Department of the Board of Trade, on the subject
of the various accidents that occurred on the several
railways of the kingdom, that, during the year 1844, 84
individuals were killed by such accidents. In addition,
in the same year, there ‘vere 102 vvlti mwe or less
injured upon thp different line. 6. Roturns have a!so been
inado to the same authorities, s;-lowing thcv number of
duriop the fit-4 quarter of tin, pre (IA y«,ar,
ending the 31st ult. It thence appears that there have
been, during that period, 22 persons killed by railway
accidents, besides 17 injuries thereby
