LONDON, April 20, 1870.
At Newmarket to day, the third OF the Craven
meeting, one OF the events was the International
Handicap, for three-year-olds and upward, mile
and seventeen yards in which contest the Amer-
can horse Preakness took part.
DrsTISGUI SHED PEOPLE PRESENT.
The intelligence that Mr. Sanford's stable would
certainly be represented In the caused the at
tendance OF many distinguished members Of the Eng
lish Jockey Club who were anxious to see the for
eign candidates first performance in this country.
Among these were Admiral Rous Princes Softly
kor and Batthyany, Lords Falmouth, Duppln Las
celles, Rosyn and westmoreand, together with Slrs
John Ashley and George Chatwynd and several
others OF note In the racing world.
MR.. SANFORD WARMLY WELCOMED
Admiral Rous early sought Mr.. Sanford, and
warmly welcomed him in behalf Of the racing men
Of England. He expressed high opinion OF the
son OF Lexington and Bay Leaf, and commended in
enthusiastic terms his appearance as q race horse.
Admiral Rous feared, however. that Preakness
lacked suficient work and was wanting in the re-
qured condition to make credltable struggle. I'm
fortunately the Admiral was right, rs the sequel
proved
THE RACE.
OF the eighteen subscribers six came to the start
ing point. These were N. II. Sanford's Prcakness,
with 1875 lbs the top weight; Mr.. B. Gilpns Berry
field lo2 lbs; Prince Batthyanys Delay, % lbs; Sir
G. Chetwynds Kidbrooke, ss lbs; Mr. T. V. Morgan's
Lord Gowan, 124 lbs, and Mr.. s. Crawfurd's Matt
land, 81 lbs. Constance had the mount on Freak
ness, and for three-quarters Of mile the latter
made an excellent cort but then, ~ his jockey ex-
pressed it, his want Of condition made itself felt"
and he dropped away from the leaders, when Matt
land went to the front and landed the winner.
Berryneld was second, Delay third Prcakness fourth
Lord Gowan NTH and Kidbrooke sixth. Constance
did not force Prcakness when he discovered that he
was tring and gallopcd home at pace that did mot
prove distressing.
THE BETTING.
Just previous to the race Prince Batthyany's Delay
was the favorite, the odds being to against him,
while there was offered and taken to against
BeryneId and 10 to against Preakncss.
OPINIONS ExrKEssED.
There was the universal expression among the
racing men that Preakness had made good night
considering the circumstances Of his lack Of work
and the weight he carried. Scores predicted that
he win yet astondsh many and win . good race be.
fore he is sent back home.
Mr.. Sanford, after the race frankly admitted that
had he waited until June to make the initial attack
with his horses it would have been much wiser.
This bears out the HKRAID's frequent statements
that Prcakness was not yet Mt to rum but while his
owner now sees the error committed, the fact that
the race was only .feeler,r and the result far
from dshcartening, is viewed with some little salts
