feat of the Derby Favorite.
LONDON, Oct &c, 1871.
The last OF the three autumn meetings at the
headquarters OF turf is now IN fun progress
and, alter commencing on Monday last, will not be
concluded until saturday evening. To add another
Illustration to those have already given or the ar
dor with which our turtles pursue their favorte
pastime. and the facilities afforded them by the
thorites OF gratifying their TASTE may mention that
the stewards had liked nine races for Monday, six
for Tuesday, thirteen for Wednesday, ten for Thurs
day, eleven for Friday and ten for Saturdayor nifty
nine events In all, average OF nearly ten for each
afternoon-an afternoon lasting be II understood,
from about one O'CLOCK until about hafpast four.
The weather was. fortunately, totally unlike that
which we usually experience at Newmarket during
the .Cambridgesnire week." the atmosphere being
almost as bamy as 1t Is IN spring and the sky
bright and clear. All the most influential patrons
OF the sport were present, ana the peerage was
much more largely represented than 1t usually is,
even on great occasions. Among those on the
Heath during the Cambrdgeshlre afternoon was
HIS Royal Hlghness
THE PRINCE OF WALES,
who travelled down from London in the morning,
accompanied by his brother, the Duke OF Edlnburg,
and by Mr.. Quincy, one OF the we'll known Cur.
ney's, OF Norwich. After luncheon they rode on TO
the Heath on hacks Of very moderate-looking
quality. The feature OF races at Newmarket
Is the immense number or equestrians OF both
sexes and the vast collection Of broughams massed
round the winning post, wherever that may happen
to be. 1t Is almost unnecessary to say, under these
circumstances, that while you can, by paying for It,
get a. well mounted and wen driven here as any.
where in the world, you will at the same time
zee Unlocking brures than at any other spot In
the kingdom, coping" horse fairs not excepted.
The heir to the throne and his brother had made
very poor selections, and were up" on as sorry
specimens OF horsenesh as one could readily meet.
However they seemed to enjoy themselves very
much chatted merrily with the many acquaintance
whom they saw on all sides, paid particular atten-
ton to Inc young and charming Mrs. Quincy and
watched the race from the top OF the Cambridge
shire stand, where Admiral Rous pointed out to
them the various horses rs they cantered past on
their to Inc starting post. They had, like most
OF the arislocrac hackers invested their money on
Allprook; out heard the Prince say that he had
also something on Baron ROthscnild's PAIR, Favo.
Mus and Corlsande, and Westminster. The
BETTING ON THE CAMBRlDGEsHIRE
very disastrous to most OF the DookmaKers; for
while there was, as there always is q very large
acceptance FOR the races, the public only backed
come hall dozen IN earnest and the professionals
u
on those horses against which they had at the open
ing Of speculation laid long prices and which after.
wards became very hot favorites. Mr.. Lombards
