A Great Crowd Present = Thlrty-Two
Horses Run Betting Ten to One
Against the Winner-What Keene Says.
LONDON, Oct. 25.-At Newmarket, to-day,
the race for the Cambridgeshire stakes was
won by Keene's Foxhall; Lucy Glitters Sec
ond; Trystan third.
Thirty-two horses started. After a couple
of breaks away there was fairly good start.
Shinglass made the running, from Knight of
Athal, Piraeus and Montrose. Most promi-
nent of the second lot were Philamon Bendor
Lucy Glitters and FOxhall. The rear lot
consisted of Rever, Mistake and Etona. There
was but little change for one half mile when
Lucy Glitters took lead with Foxhall, Phil
anon, Trystan, Incendiary, Piraeus and
Poulet close up. When little
over quarter mile from home Lucy Glitters
was leading Foxhall and Trystran bv half a
length, with Mistake close upon lower ground.
This order was maintained past the red post.
When drawing near home Foxhall closed up
only. Before Lucy Glitters separated from
Trystran by neck fine race from the dis
tance pole; Poulet fourth, Incendiary fifth,
Piraeus sixth, Bend Or seventh, Philamom,
"Toast Master" Prestonpaus, Montrose and
the Cosy filley following in order named. The
last three were Tagus, Peter and Petronel.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
Crowds thronged the course to-day, driving
hoisting numbers, which showed thirty-two
runners. There was a sharp shower, but be-
fore the start the sun shone brightly. Great
annoyance was felt by Americans at not seeing
Foxhall and Mistake saddled in paddock. A
majority, including Foxhall and Mistake, had
O finishing touch at the starting post. Early
this morning Mistake was booked in spirited
manner at $50 to 1, while Foxhall maintained
his position. A large amount went on Keene's
Champion. The track was very heavy. There
was some delay in starting, Sportsman and
Peter showing temper.
Finally all got away in pretty good time, for
a moment preserving beautiful line of color.
Sherglass and Eminence were the first to
break the line and they made a joint running
Knight of Athol, Lucy Glitters, lMontrose and
Promethus for immediate attenants. Well
up with those were the Cosey filley, Murill,
Scobel, Falkerk and Incendiary. Then came
Petrone, Prestonpaus, Bendor and Phila-
mon the remainder being we'll together for
three fllrlongs when Shenglass and Emf
nenee dropped back and Lucy Glitters
the lead. She was sue
ceeded Iy Tristan Piraus, In
endiary, Pouelet, Philemon, Prometheus,
and Foxhall. Tho last mentioned had worked
away from Ruck and was lying handy with
the lot named. At the red post he had drawn
up to Lucy G, who headed him by one-half
length, the pair running wide of each other,
Foxhall being on top ground. Tristan and
Poulet were alone showing prominence in the
center of the course.
The race was now almost confined to these
four, for they were long way clear of Ineen-
diary and Porous who shortly after showed
distress. When half way up the hill Foxhall
made grand squirt and quickly getting on
termswith Lucy Glitters won cleverly by
head, Tristan running on to the end being
beaten by neck for second place.
LONDON, Oct. 25.-The Sportsman says:
''FoXhall's performance is unprecedented.
BE is certainly the best 2-year old this season.
The Standard; owe hereby congratulate the
IL
for the vast nIrnrp they have spent in pur-
chasing our thoroughbred stock
KEENE CONGRATULATED.
New YORK., Oct. 25.-James r. Keene,
owner of Foxhall, was warmly congratulated
ON his victory. Asked if it was unexpected,
he replied, 'Well, should say not. backed

former victory. The great Bend Or unplaced
1t even weight, and Lucy Glitters,
who has proved herself great racer,
and carrying only 81 ponnds, were
beaten by my horse. He was ridden by
third rate jockey. So our English friends can
hardly credit the victory to the great expert
ence or ability of the rider.
"What is your opinion of the colt now?"
"That he is the greatest horse in the world,
and would not fear to start him against any
thing on four legs. His winning the Cam
to-day, and thus making a most
double victory, having previously
landed the Cassarwitch, is the most marvellous
performance ever accomplished
"How about rrmors of match between
Iroquois and your colts'
81 would rather not express myself on that
point, but my Opininion of Foxhall you know.
If he retains firmness don't think any living
horse can out-foot him or out-stay him.

led. NoTE.-The victory of Foxhall above
recorded stamps him t he best 3-year-old of the
year on either hemisphere. Following his
victory for the grand prize of Paris, he has
added to his victories two of the most impor-
tant events of the English turf. The Cesar
witch and Cambridgeshire, with two or three
others of minor Importance. The stake is a
handicap, distance one mile and 240 yards. It
had i62 subscribers of which all but sixty-two
declared out before September 6, by paying
five soyere!gns forfeit, and thirty before the
start, on ten sovereigns forfeit, leaving thirty
two for the race. The Cambridgeshire has now
fore has it been captured by the Cesarwitch
winner, by Roseberry in 1876. Roseberry,
though capital horse, got into the Cesar
witch with only 103 fbs., q low weight for
4 -year-old, giving him, with his fourteen
pound penalty, 1T Tbs in the Cambridgeshire,
while the 3-year Foxhall carried 112 Tbs. in his
Cesarwitch victory, and 126 Tbs. in his race
yesterday. The stake was worth about 81 ,OOO
and as the betting was quite lively at 10 to
against him a big pile of money must have
changed hands on the result. Foxhall is by
