LONDON, April II, 1878.
The race meeting at Newmarket is over. and
the Jour days running has passed or satIsfac-
toriy 10 all but the losers. The weather was con-
Bidered fair, although there were piercing cold
wiods blowing over the heath during the whole
Of The meeting. The racing was rated good
throughout, but not quite up TO many previ Gus
meetings. nor were there as many horses in the
aeld as In previous years; vet what was done was
lolerabiy well done. many OF the races being very
well contested.
THE FIRST DAY.
The first race, Tor the Fortieth RiddIeworth
stakes or 200 sovs. EACH half forfeit, for three
Tear-olds, iurlongs, 21o yards. between Lord Fall
mouths bay colt Garterly Bell and Prince Solty-
koff's chestnut colt Timour, was very close, until
near the finish, when Garterly Bell won rather
cleverly The time that VIII elapse before the
Two Thousand will enable Matthew Dawson to
make considerable Improvements on Garterly
Bell, and, am satisfied rnat all
the stories about his being a roarer are
false, 1t would not surprise me to see Garterly
Bell win the race II Camballo does not. The
second race was the Bretley Plate OF 200 sovs.,
added to q handicap sweepstakes OF Is sovs each,
forfeit. Ten ran Tor this, and it was won by A.
de Rothschlds bay colt Carnelion, years old.
The SIX furlongs suited this colt better than any
II.
The third race was we1ght-for age selling race
sweepstakes OF 10 sovs. each, furlongs, which
was won by 7. Jenerson's brown geiding Peto,
VINO took the lead and never relinquished 1t. The
ourth race was tine Thirty-ninth Tuesday Riddle

:hree-yearo!ds, furlongs Ill yards There were
only two starters--vlz., Prince Sottykons bay
solt New Holland ana W. 5. Cartwrlghps bay
colt the Bay Naples. New Holland had slightly
The best OF 1t throughout, and won the race by a
head. The NTH race was very lively AFFAIR, as
three OF the starters made a dead heat and ran 1t
on. The race was The Bushes Handicap of 10 sovs.
each, with 100 added the last SIX iurIongs OF
he Ditch mile. Eight starred, cut the dead neat
was made by Count de Lagrange's bay colt
Trombone, years old, carrying 40 lbs. /;
a. Savilles brown horse Hermitage, 8 years
Did, carrying los lbs, and Mr.. Whittaker's
bay colt Cats-Eye, years old, carving 90 lbs.
Tue finish was most exciting, and terminated IN q
dead heat. In the run on Cats-Eye cut out the
work, and led until about distance from home
when Trombone, with the top weight, went TO the
front and won oE three.quarters Of length, a
nec& dividing Ca s.Eye and Hermitage. The sixth
race was the First Year or the seventeenth New
market Biennial Stakes Of 10 sovs EACH with
LOO sovs added, mile and II yards. For
this event there were eight starters. and much
interest was taken in the AFFAIR, as there were
number OF the Guineas and Derby candidates IN IT,
Mr.. Savile's bay colt Earl OF Dartrey was the
Iavortte, Lord talmouth's brown nily Catdcysm
econd choice, and the same nobleman's bay colt
by Macaroni, known as the Repentance colt, the
third In favor. Alter two falso the Amy Scott
colt got away IN advance OF Earl OF Dartrey the
pair lying close on the LETT, while the Repentance
colt and Cataciysm headed the remainder. There
was no change until they commenced the

out, aud lett the lead with the
favorlte, who quickly drew away from the others
and won, alter some shaking up from what Is
called the dip. He finished three lengths In front
OF the Repentance colt, Cataclysm being a bad
third. And these are candidates FOR the great
coming events. BY Benson's chronoRraph-tne
reliable tlmInS machine OF England-Earl OF
Dartrey ran tho mile and seventeen yards In
80, the same time as the distance occu-
pied list year, when Miss Lotto and Regeneration
made dead neat, and Negroes time, IN 1873, was
1850; aud this Is considered good time ior first
GLASS colts with 10 los. up. rather think that
some OF The colts entered for the wthers and
Belmont Stakes would not re distressed much IN
beating this tlme as 10 Is not good as l 81 TO
The mile. The closing event OF the nrst day was
rne craven Stakes OF is sovs each. 5 forfeit with
100 added; weight for age; l mile aud IL yards.
There we're but two starters-W. :. Crawlurdis
chestnut horse Gang Forward, S years old. with
ls7 lbs. up, and II. Jennings bay ny Maravilla, 8
Fears old, carrying "a lbs. Gang Forward ran in
'front.' all the way ana won bV three lengths.
The winner OF the Newmarket Biennial STAKES,
Earl OF Dartrey, is greatly improved colt since
last year, and won his engagement like thor
oughly god morse. but the lot behind him could
MOI have been good as tneir owners expected to
see them. Few inner looking colts than Bay OF
Naples have ever been seen on Newmarket Heath,
and his race with New Holland, concedlng three
pounds, considering how green and unit Mr..
Cartwrighrs colt Is at present, was good maiden
performance, and but Tor his curly hooks wnen in
nt condition he would be one OF the best colts OF
his year.
