LONDON, Oct "a, 1888.
AZ write they are "winding mp" the last great
campaign Of the autumn, the Houghton, at ''head-
quarters" and hear the rain splashing duly
the pavement outside, rejoice greatly that am
not "there to see.' Newmarket. everybody allows,
is Q very nne place-when 1t does not rain,
or snow, or bfw, or freeze; but Newmarket,
plus any one Of these meteorological conditions, IL
something dreadful. 1 can fancy enthusiastic
sportsmen at the present moment enjoying
the ''pastime'-there is CHASTITY humor In
the word In present circumstances making des-
perate efforts at the Tapey philosophy Of being jolly
under any condition. Yesterday shuddered TO see
the great open nat. stretching many rood" In all
directions bearing not tree on Its bosom to AFFORD
shelter to man or beast with the exception Of the
far-famed "Bushes" which would not protect tole-
rable colony Of ants, swept by all the winds that
blow, and they have fine collection Of these curl
osities at the metropolis OF the TURF" the ground
and all that covered it saturated with rain and the
wretched followers Of the turf grmly endeavoring to
transact business with the good humor that they gene
rally display. The picture is not pleasant one, and
many who held out yesterday against its horrors re-
treated precpitatey to town last night, convinced
that however bad London under the influence Of the
'rainy Hyades," may be it is an Improvement on
Newmarket SO fond, however, are the majority OF
sporting OF their profession that should not at
all wonder to ind that there are others than the
jockeys and horses who will take part In
however, has been, on the whole, very
enjoyable one; the sport has been tOlerably

iasts from Monday morning to Saturday ngnt-was
exceedingly 1ne, and although the general attend
Newmarket sport and is what we expect. The Prince
OF Wales visited the Heath Tuesday to witness the
race for the Cambrdgeshire and find from the
nunkeys OF the press that he appeared to enjoy the
sport very much, but was greatly disguised with the
OF the hour at which the great race was rum
For that matter every else, for the
wretchedlv stupid arist0cratic bungling that Is
rampant at Newmarket and that VIII reign triumph
ant through the fall OF dynasties the sweeping away
OF Irish Churches and tho alterations OF representa-
ton, had fixed the Cambridgeshire as the last race
OF the day, and accordingly, in the words OF your
greatest poet ''the shades OF night were falling
fast before the sarter was able to despatch his lot
and one had to make out the colos as best he might
through the gloom OF an October twilight Had q
few more delays occurred at the post 1t would have
been necessary to lay the course with sawdust as
to lay gas pipes and erect lamps along the Heath
or to postpone the race to the next day.
With regard TO the market operations that pre-
they were chiefly remarkable for the decline OF
Wolsey, the rmncss OF Cecil and the rapid advance
very short price for the Cesarewitch and the stead
ness OF Lady Coventry. Woisey, at the end OF last
week, had reached as little to l. but he did not
dent that the grucllng' finish he had IN this same
race last year when he was beaten by Lozenge IN
hn 4sraun mr. Af had kad al n
pieces. His former owner, Sir Joseph Hawley, de-
clared that he weuld not take f1,000 TO shilling
ones' or the truth Of this estimate that the horse
receded 10 as much rs 20 to l. Cecil. who has been
the lavorte ever since nc won the Cesarewtcn aior
remarkably firm at 0 10 A. while to was laid on
him for q place. Lady Raglan only showed promi-
nently in the betting shortly before the race; but
she came with rush and disputed supremacy
with the highly tried Lady Coventry, though
the latter had the call at TO /, to l
chids singular tactics cannot stall o'' everybody,
for there are some burned children who never Will
dread the fire, and accordingly Restitution was
backed to win many thousands OF pounds at IL
