Newmarket Second OctO.
ber Meeting.
Contest for the Great Cesarewitch Stakts and
the Middle Park Plate.
The Winners and Scenes at
the Start.


IN average from one O'Clock till haltpast four
O'Clock, and each programme comprising about
eight races. The sport, generally speaking. has
hitherto been OF excellent quality, with compare
lively lew OF those small sweepstakes with no
added money, IN which owners OF horses have to
struggle only for the stakes. Whenever the
Jockey Club give anything to be run for we are
certain OF having good fields, numerically speak
lng, at the post. OF these there nave been
. good many this week, and the result
Is that the sport has been above the
Newmarket average. The attendance has, how
ever, been unusually small and on The Cesare-
witch day in particular there was the poorest
turnout ever known In the history OF the race.
The wealthy supporters of the turf were strongly
represented, and or course the professional bet
ting men mustered In great force but che general
public did not appear. There was in fact as great
An attendance to see the Middle Park Plate run
aor as there was on the Cesare witch day, occur
renee quite unpre None of the English
royal family were present. but we had royalty in
the person OF the ex-Queen OF Naples, who ap-
peared TO take great interest in the racing and
showed somewhat unexpected appreciation OF
good points OF horse.
The principal handicap Of the meeting was
THE CEsAREwITCH,
for which q good field In point both OF number
and quaiity, went to the post. This race has been
the medium OF large amount OF speculation for
sne last month, and as usual the betting has been
marked by some extraordinary changes. The
fAvortte was found at the finish in the gelding by
Wanda out OF Truth. one OF Matthew Dawson's
sHood things" He had not run since he was
ywo-year-old and at that age he did not at all
distinguish himself. having In the meantime
been carefully .'nursed" and kept IN seclusion.
Admiral Rous, whose astuteness occasionally de-
Berts him. let him into the handicap at ridicu-
lousy hight weight. The great blot-out handicap,
however, was Mornngton, who, If in his best form,
could not have lost the race with twenty-one
pounds more than was imposed upon him;
but the excuse for the Admiral was that the
horse had long been laboring under suspicion
Of unsoundness, and as Will be seen, the suspicion
was quite justified. His merits on his early rum
ming, particularly when he won the City and Su-
Durban and great Metropolitan, at EPSON, on sue.
cessive days. were such to the pubic rushes on
him, and he left OF as good favorite as the Truth
gelding, who indeed had always been behind him
in the betting until the day OF the race. Hesseden,
ike Matthew Dawson's horse, was poor per-
former previously In public, but he had been
highly tried and his party were extraordinarily
confident. Louise Victoria, q mare belonging to
the unpopular owner, Mr.. Cartwright, who 1t may
be remembered, scratched" his horse. George
morning OF the race had run very well on many
occasions and was here highly weighted. Royal
George and Aventuriere, both IN the Pyfeld
stable, had been tried and found to be
30 close together that the party in
vested their money equally on both. Royal
George was second for this race last year,
and among other ieats won the great MetrOpoli-
