lead of Light of the Ifarem gelding, but the latter, coming with a wet sail up the hill, won by three-parts of a length ; a head 

 divided the second and third. La Uruguaya was fourth, Lady Burgoyne fifth, Fosco sixth, and Mount Lyell last. Time by 

 Benson's chronograph, I min. 6 sec.

 (Race started at 3.37. Winner trained by Owner, at Newmarket, and bred by Mr. W. M. Low.) 



Weight of money soon disclosed Somersault in the light of a distinctive first fancy at 7 to 2. This notwithstanding, Profit 

 gelding had friends in force at 4 to I or anything over, and very good sums went on Volar at 8 to I, loo to 14, and 7 to I. 

 St.Joie was backed at loo's to 12 and 8 to I, and so was Lady Dundas at 10 to I, 100 to 12, and so forth. Marmontel had 

 supporters at loo's to 7 and 8. Nothing else could boast an admirer. 



Betting: 7 to 2 against Somersault, 4 to I against Profit gelding, 7 to I against Volar, 8 to I against St.Joie, loo to 12 

 against Lady Dundas, 100 to 8 against Marmontel, and 100 to 7 against any other (offered). 



The profit gelding, on the lower ground, slipped away with a clear lead of VJjlar, in .the centre, Castellar, and Ronaldina 

 filly, with Fanfare, St. Joie, and Somersault next, and, holding the lead throughout, won in a canter by four lengths from Love 

 Game and St. Joie, who were only separated by a head. Charmer, close up, was fourth, Somersault fifth, Castellar sixth, 

 Fanfare seventh, Marmontel next, and Volar last. Time by Benson's chronograph, I min. 52* sec. 



4.0 The LIMEKILN STAKES of 415 sovs. ; weight for age, etc. A.F. (one mile, two furlongs).

(Race started at 4.6. Winner trained by A. Taylor, at Manton, and bred by the late Duke of Westminster.) 



Such an absolute certainty was this race considered for Sceptre that the extravagant odds of 66 to I were at once laid on, 

 and these were immediately followed by considerations of 100 to I. 



Betting : loo to I on Sceptre. 



Sceptre made the whole of the running, and won in a canter by eight lengths. Time by Benson's chronograph, 

 2 min. 30! sec. 



4.30 The CRITERION STAKES of 706 sovs., for two year olds ; colts, 8st. Sib. ; fillies and geldings, 8st. 61b. ; 



winners extra. Criterion Course (six furlongs).

Mr. W. C. Whitney's b. c. Hands Down, gst. lib. J.H.Martin 2 



(Race started at 4.30. Winner trained by Mr. Gilpin, at Newmarket, and bred by Owner.) 



It was another case of long odds on, loo's to 7 being finally betted on Pretty Polly. 



Betting : 100 to 7 on Pretty Polly, who waited on Hands Down till below the distance, when she drew out and won in a 

 canter by a length and a half. Time by Benson's chronograph, I min. 24^ sec. 



This has been a day of some moment. We have seen Sceptre and Pretty Polly run and, of course, win. 

 We have seen Sceptre in the paddock both before and after her race, and very beautiful she looked, despite 

 her broken coat. We have seen other things of importance, and have pursued investigations into the 

 Cambridgeshire possibilities and probabilities in the time-honoured manner, but everything has sunk into 

 insignificance by comparison with Mr. Pincus. Few, indeed, are the men who can live for years in a 

 place like Newmarket, where rivalries must needs be created, and come out of it with such a tremendous 

 demonstration of the goodwill of all and sundry as Jacob Pincus did to-day. It must be remembered, too, 

 that it was no Englishman they were cheering, but an American trainer, and one who twenty-two years ago 

 first captured a Derby and St. Leger for an American owner. His Majesty the King arrived in time for 

 the first race. 



THIRD DAY. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29. 



JOCKEY CLUB CUP of 500 sovs. (a cup value 100 sovs. and the remainder in specie), added to a sweepstakes of 20 sovs. 

 each, h. ft., weight for age, etc. ; the second received 50 sovs. Cesarewitch Course (two miles two furlongs).

M. M. Caillault's Chatte Blanche, 3 yrs., 7st. gib Hardy 2 



Lord Howard de Walden's St. Maclou, 5 yrs., gst. lib Cain 3 



(Winner trained by R. Marsh.) 



Betting : 6 to 4 against St. Maclou, 2 to I Chatte Blanche, g to 4 Mead. 



St. Maclou led until fairly on to the flat, when Chatte Blanche assumed the lead, but gave way as the Bushes were neared 

 to Mead, who won, amidst hearty cheering, by .six lengths ; a bad third. 



After a protracted period of wet and gloom it was a relief this morning to find that there were such 

 distinct signs of improvement, and, indeed, the early sunshine engendered a strong feeling of exhilaration ;
