for about four hours each afternoon The great
feature OF the proceedings was the Cambridge
snire. the last OF the important autumn handi-

rambling than any other IN the calendar. Expe-

more money may be won over THIS than
any other contest on the turf OF TINS

latter race is test OF the stamina ofhorse so that
under notice is test Of speed ana stamina CON-
bined. The Cesarewitcn is run over two miles

hridaeshire over only one mile 240 yards, but
while the former track Is nearly all on the nat the
latter finishes up very severe nil, which soon
settles all but the most perfect wnded candidates.
On this occasion there was
AN ENORMOUS FIELD,
no fewer tnan forty-two animals going to post.
This number had, however, been exceeded
namely, In 1862, when Baihilde was successlul
and it was equaled In 1870. when Adonis won.

backed her; but this was merely a ruse, which
had no great effect. One OF the French stables

than those in connection with Khedve. The
horse, though he had never distinguished himself
previously ran remarkably well In the Cesarewitch,
IN which he finished fourth, behind Aventuriere,
the Truth gelding and GamecOck. This was good
performance; but couple OF days Later he sur
passed it by winning the Queens Plate from such
animals as Lily, Agnes and Scamp, whom he beat
ut even weights; and the day after that he did
skill better hy defeating again, at even weights
