Second Criterion for two-yr-old fillies, and the Grand Crite- 
rion for the joint exertions of both. Viewed as a whole, 
the Chantilly gathering was a brilliant affair, and rnay bo 
tokon as proof that, under the present Government, horae- 
raciug is likely to make rapid progress. 
The two October Meetings at Newmarket have been 
specially favoured by the weather, which could not fail to 
give zest to the enjoymeut of some capital sport. The 
business of "The Second October" commenced on Monday 
with a match between Domino and Humboldt — the latter, 
the non-favourite, the winner. Humboldt has a good turn 
of speed, and is a likely colt for a short, distance. Two out 
of the six very moderate animals contested the Renewal of 
the 50 aovs Sweepstakes, and it was a toss-up ns to merit 
between Delia and Apropros ; the former, however, contrived 
to get home first by a neck. Exact was the favourite in her 
match with Diomedia, but her jadish running proved how 
hopeless would be her chance on the morrow, and she was 
struck out of the Cesarewitch. The number of youngsters 
entered for the £50 plate for two-yrs-old occasioned their 
division into two classes with £50 for each. The second 
class was won by Pyrrhic, after a dead heat with Berezina ; 
and the first by Para, who defeated the favourite Kingstown 
by a head. The Trapper gave his year and a good beating to 
Filbert, in their match over the Ditch Mile. And Knight of 
St. George won the fifty pounds as he liked from Domino 
and Adine across the flat. There was nothing else in the 
racing requiring comment. In the betting, Muscovite con- 
tinued firm at 4 to 1, despite an upward movement on the 
part of Cobnut, La Belle, Ammonia, and Rodo-meli. 
Tuesday, the great day, brought a vast accession of 
visitors to the Heath. The sport was ushered in by the 
easy victory of Ilex over Poodle and Medal, for the Handicap 
Sweepstakes, Ditch Mile. The defeat of Poodle was rather 
ominous for the subsequent essay of his stable companion 
Rodo-meli. After a Selling Handicap over the last half of 
the Abingdon Mile, in which the once famous Ruby was 
comj elled to submit to secondary honours, “ The Clearwell” 
came on for decision. Grseculu-s Esuriens did not gratify the 
expectant gazes of his admirers on trust, and again paid 
forfeit. Oulston was at once made the favourite with odds 
on him, but the victory was awarded to the Polydora colt, 
with Almond aud The Hind intervening between him and 
the crack. The result was quite unexpected, as the winner 
had to give 31b to the favourite. Mr. Payne's colt gained 
nothing by his success, for 50 to 1 was afterwards obtainabl 
against him for the Derby. Oulston's defeat was a heavy 
blow to the hopes of a numerous party who have backed 
him heavily for the great Epsom event. The colt was 
evidently not up to the mark, and we anticipate a better 
day for tho Sou of Melbourne and Alice Hawthorne. 
The Cesarewitch was a hollow affair, Muscovite winning 
from end to end. The successful scion of Hetman Platotf 
formed ono of the extremities of tho tail in tho race last year); 
this time he goes in alone. Px*actice makes perfect, it is said ; 
though it was decidedly not the case with Indian Warrior, 
who has for three years battled over the same ground. Much 
money has been lost on the occasion. 
The valuable Royal Stakes seemed a certainty for Scythian, 
but a surprise was in store in the issue of the struggle for 
the whip. In the long gallop over the Beacon Course, and 
under the heavy weight of 10st, Kingston, who was thouchi 
to be one of the soundest horses iu England, broke down ; 
while Stockwell, for some time under suspicion, cantered iu 
by no end of lengths. Kingston's work this season has been 
extraordinary, and liis gameness certainly deserved a better 
fate. 
The Duke of Bedford’s Para earned off the Bedford Stokes 
in good style; and her stable companion, Hubana, per- 
formed the like feat with the “Bretby” on tho following 
day. The other two-yr old race of note, The Prendergust, 
was won by Claret beating Kingstown by a neck. 
On Thursday morning, several of Lord Exeter’s stud were 
brought out to be sold ; but only Margaretta, by Phlegon, 
out of Margaret, and Stockdove, by Wood Pigeon, out of 
Scarf, changed owners. 
Rattle, on the strength of his position in the race of 
Tuesday, became a better favourite for the Cambridgeshire ; 
Orinoco also received marked advancement. The Early 
Bird, on the contrary, appears to have a drooping look. 
There is little change in the others ; but some outsiders 
have met with support at a long price. Helena has been 
backed at 20 to 1. This clever filly, advertised for sale at 
Tattersall’s, was bought in, and remains, we believe, with 
The Deformed, under tho able management of John 
Osborne. 
Lord Win. Powlett has become the purchaser of Hermit. 
The price iB said to have been £1,200. 
The Stewards of Northallerton Races have overruled the 
objections made against Horatio, on the score of being iu 
arrear of forfeits. They oonsidef that tho objection was not 
made in proper time, and therefore award the stakes to 
Horatio. And the Stewards of the Jockey Club have settled 
another oase long in dispute —the Saltrara Stakes at Ply- 
mouth. They have decided that Tower is entitled to receive 
tho stokes. 
THE NEWMARKET AUTUMN HANDICAPS. 
The Cambridgeshire. 
Established in the Bame year as the Cesarewitch, this event, 
like its compeer, has maintained a great popularity, and is 
the great prop of the Houghton assembly. Though the two 
events have been very closely woven together, upon nearly 
every anniversary, the same animal, however, has not yet 
triumphed in the two essays ; and it seems somewhut singular 
that over two such different courses, one double the length 
of the other, that there should have been the similarity of 
positions there really has. 
Lanercost, one of the gamest animals that ever imprinted 
the greensward, and whom our breeders were forced, by tho 
fashion of the day, to desert for a strain of more speed iu 
juvenile descendants, though his value a» a sire for stock of 
endurance iu still unimpeachable, was tho first Cambridge- 
shire champion, and for a quartette of seasons the four-yr-old*

Seventy-eight have accepted out of one hundred and fifty ; 
and it is a far more satisfactory handicap than tho Cesare- 
witch one. Among the acceptors we find two aged horses, 
four six-yr-old*, ten fives, twenty-three fours, and thirty-nine 
threes. The non-acceptors oomprised, ono six -yr-old, a 
quintette of fives, thirteen fours, and fifty-three youngsters. 
The highest weight accepting is Sst 1 lib, and the lowest 
4st 71b — Kingston, King of Trumps, Virago, and Andover, 
declining the 9st impost, as was universally expected, and 
King Tom tho 8st 111b. Rodo-meli, 4st 71b, was the mini- 
mum weighted for both events.
