10 SPANIEL— 1831. 



ally occasions what the Americans would call " an awful 

 splash." 



As one swallow does not make a summer, so one race will 

 not make a g-ood horse ; but we feel confident that little 

 Spaniel would have oftener shown himself first at the winning 

 post had not his lot been cast in a year when Camarine, 

 Lucetta, Priam, Tranby, Cetus, and Fleur-de-Lis, were still 

 upon the Turf, far too great rivals for a better horse than 

 ever Spaniel was. 



We find our horse again in the Newmarket First October 

 Meeting, running on Monday the 3rd of October, for The 

 Trial Stakes, a subscription of ten sovs. each, for three yr 

 olds, 7st. 71b. ; four, 8st. 91b.; five 9st. 2lb. ; six and aged, 

 9st. 61b. — A.F. — Six subs.

Lord Exeter's entry was made just in time to be too late ; 

 only five, therefore, came to the post ; — the betting being 5 

 to 4 against Spaniel, and 20 to 12 against the winner. The- 

 ban made the first running, but at a pace so moderate, that 

 Spaniel took it up at the Two year old Course Post, and kept 

 in front to the Abingdon Mile Bottom; but here his nose 

 was put quite out of joint by Camarine, who came in front, 

 and won with perfect ease by a length. It may be worthy 

 of remark, that in this meeting Camarine beat easily the 

 winners of both Derby and Oaks. 



On Friday, November 4, in the Houghton Meeting, we 

 again find Spaniel's name, "without a place," for the Audley 

 End Stakes, of 30 sovs. each, for horses of all ages (two yr 

 olds excepted). — Audley End Course (a mile and three 

 quarters.)
