Thus has terminated one of the best meetings that the October
races have produced for years ; and with it the curtain has dropped.
for the season, over, if not the most brilliant year, at least one of
peculiar interest. It has been urged, that the turf, this season, has
declined; but this is not the case, as can be proved by incontro-
vertible facts. That the north, as wvil as the south, have gone on
the wrong side of the post in betting, is admitted ; yet the racing
meetings have not been affected by it, and the sport at the New-
market October Meetings, which would, of course, have been the
first upon which such decline would be visible, has been equal to
any preceding season. Those who are on the croaking order, we
shall refer to the spirit which has characterized the nominations for
the four years to come—stakes of 100, 200, and 300 sovereigns each,
cut of number. are subscribed to by many of the must respectable
characters in the kingdom ; and even for 1830, there arc two stakes
of 500 sovereigns each, having respectively seven or eight subscri-
bers. The absence of the Dille of York, whose attachment to the
turf is well known, certainly threw a damp over the late New-
market Meetings; but even this did not affect the sport, his Royal
Highness's horses ran for the different stakes in which they were
entered—were repeatedly matched, and, we rejoice to add, were
unusually fortunate.
