LONDON Thursday, Oct a. 1872.
Among the last meetings OF our racing season
none Is OF greater Importance or excites deeper
interest than the "HOughtOn," which is now being
held at Newmarket. 1t was commenced on Mon.
day morning, and will not be over till Saturday
night. racing being carried on vigorously every
afternoon at the rate OF from eight to ten items
every day. With the exception OF that which pre-
vailed yesterday, which was beautiful, the weather
has hitherto been uniav0rable-cold and raw. Rain
fell very heavily toward the close OF last week. SO
heavily that large portions OF the great heath
were speedily churned up into quagmires
by the hOOfs Of countless horses, the wheels Of
many carriages and the tread Of pedestrians. The
crowd was consequently much smaller than usual,
and rarely indeed has there been SO poor gather
ing on a Cambridgshire Day as that OF Tuesday.
The occasion was h0nored by the presence Of
THE PRINCE OF WALES
who arrived on the heath about hour before the
| horses went to the post for the race He was to
| have come down to London by an early train and
to have lunched with Sir Frederick Johnstone, but
| he missed the morning train and left town about
noon with two or three attendants, He rode about
during the afternoon on hack, chatting with the
various acquaintances whom he encountered,
and mingling with the ordinary thr0ng Of eques-
trians He appeared to be in excellent health and
evidently took warm interest in the proceedings
He returned to London shortly after the Cam.

Princess, listening to Mr.. Charles Matthew'S droer-

THE CAMBRID0EsHIRB
is the last OF the great Autumn handcaps at New
market, and Ia one OF the most important betting
races OF the year, leading generally to q larger
amount Of speculation than even the Cesarewtch.
On this occasion, however, the market was COM
pletely spoiled by Salvanos, the horse that won
the Cesarewitch with such ease. As he had
now to carry only eighty-four pounds,
including his penalty for that victory,
ana as he had In the October handicap shown
terrific turn OF speed, his chance appeared to be
wonderful one. The Cambridgeshire is Q much
shorter race than the Cesarewitch, being run over
only mile 240 yards whereas the distance Of the
other is two miles two furongstwenty-eight yards
Hitherto no horse had won both events, and for
pretty lair reasons. An animal trained for the
long race Is apt to lose the speed necessary for
in the short one; and the Cesarewith
Is nearly iat. while that Of the Cambridgeshire is
all up hill aud requires the most excellent wind
powerful quarters, sound legs and fine turn OF
speed. 1t was thought that Salvanos possessed all
these qualities and the public fancy for his chance
was great that he started at two to one.
