GUINEAs WON BY THE OUTSIDER. BELPHEBE.
LONDON. May 5, 1871.
For the time Of year the weather in England Is re-
markabiy cold, and nowhere is the discomfort felt
more keenly than on the exposed heaths and downs
which so many OF the courses are situated New
market is as place could well be chosen when
chilly easterly wind blowing, aud as that was the
case on the LIST inst, the opening day OF tho First
Spring Meeting the visitors had hard work TO keep
themselves at all comfortable during the afternoon IL
is at this meeting that the first two oil the
grea, three year old oil the year are de-
cldcd, the Two Thousand Guneas being held
on the Wcdnes day and in which colts and FLIES are
alike eligible; Friday the Allies race or One Thou
sand Guncas takes place. Tho names oil these Two
races has nothing whatever to do with the amount OF
the stakes at issue, for they simply sweepstakes
OF 100 sovercigns each, ha forfeit OF which the SEQ.
oud receives 200 soveregns and the third stake
the Jockey Club adding nothing to the sweepstakes
As there IS no money gwen to any OF the othcr
cassc'' races. the Derby, Oaks ana ST. Leger, II IS
on this ground that there such strong opposition

which has been postponed until the Jockey CLUB
meeting

But little interest seemed 10 be taken in the Two
Thousand Guincas this year until within about ten
days OF the race Claimant being head and shoulders

spectators. Then rumor gained ground that
the iavoritc had been beaten in spin at
home with ycrneuil, but at second attempt u was

Frenchman made a better favorito than before

OF West Minister would start tho dark MorolV in place
OF Pecgrno reservng the latter for the Derby. Tho
Russlcy stable where the Dukes horses are trained
by Robert Peck is always followed by the public,
and when it became known that Moricr was the Sc
lecrcd candidate he rapidly advanced from an outside
figure to one approaching that OF Chnnan1 me
usual rumors private trials were everywhere

CITY and Suburban winner, julius Caesar, and how
AZ even weights Daiham better horse than the
brother TO General Peel Then many believed that
Pelegrino had been in the trial. and us he was not Tar
behind CLAIMANTS form last year, Morer would there
FORE be dangerous candidate. This state OF affairs
eliminated in Morler peing made first iayorite on Mon
day, but there was little 10 choose between MN or
Claimant until at Newmarket on the night before the
race Moricr found plenty OF support at the short odds
