!()4 THE RACING SEASON, 1834. 



In the Newmarket First Spring, Giencoe beat Bentley, 

 the Derby Pet of the year, for the Two Thousand Guineas 

 Stakes, and so disposed at once of his chance for the great 

 race. The same Meeting brought out May Day, a mare of 

 much promise, untimely cut off, in her hapless finish on 

 the Oaks day. 



At the Liverpool Spring Meeting, General Ghasse won 

 the Liverpool St Leger. The General vi^as a steady, honest, 

 and hard-working nag, but somewhat slovenly in his races, 

 his victories being always, as it were, kicked out of him. 



The York Spring Meeting, brought out Bran, by many 

 degrees the best three year old at the Meeting, as an easy 

 winner of the York Leger, — and Warlaby Bay lock, and 

 Valparaiso, respective winners of the York Derby, " the 

 Shorts," and " the Wentworths," and they all three came 

 forthwith into the market for the Doncaster St Leg^er. 



1 he two great South country events have already been 

 disposed of in detail. The Derby was won by Plenipo. — 

 the favourite, by two lengths, and in a canter ; — and the 

 Oaks, by Pussy, a mare scarcely ever named, or thought of, 

 and actually not mentioned in the betting, in the week be- 

 fore the race, which, by the way, was as bad an one as any, 

 anywhere during the season, perhaps the worst Oaks upon 

 record. Indeed, the three year old fillies of this year gen- 

 erally showed badly. 



At Ascot Heath, the Gold Cup, and the Eclipse Foot, 

 were both won by Glaucus, in fact, his noble owner. Lord 

 Chesterfield, seemed in luck this week, winning six times in 

 the four days. 



The July Meeting at Newmarket, brought Kate Kearney 

 into consideration for the Oaks, 1835, as winner of the July 

 Stakes ; but the breath of popular favour dispersed again, 

 on the Wednesday, when she ran third for the Chesterfield 

 Stakes.
