THE KACIXG SEASON, 1834. ]( >') 



The Goodwood Cup, for which, during the six weeks 

 preceding the race, favourites sprang up like mushrooms, 

 was carried off by Glencoe, hard held, and in a canter, — 

 and the York August Meeting established Bran a favourite 

 for the Leger, after winning the Thirty Sovs. Sweepstakes 

 in a canter. 



The Doncaster St Letter came and went in a manner 

 which we have already told, and which we care not to re- 

 peat : — some modern followers of Jemmy Dawson yet re- 

 main unhung. 



The First October at Newmarket, brought out a lot of 

 seven Oaks mares for one Stake, " the Hopeful." It was a 

 very good run race, won in a superior manner by Lord 

 Chesterfield's Eva ; Kate Kearney and Waresti being 

 among the beaten ; and the Second October brought in Mr 

 Greville's Preserve, another Oaks favourite, a winner of the 

 " Clearwell," beating Hester and nine others, good, bad, 

 and indifferent. And in the Houghton Meeting, the 

 " Criterion" placed Preserve and Hester in the same relative 

 positions as for the Clearwell, establishing the truth of their 

 running in that race, at least as far as concerned their indi- 

 vidual merits. This Meeting, in every sense the best of 

 the year, brought the racing season 1834 to a brilliant 

 close, with every prospect of a glorious morrow.
