'Y as , a ) mistake, of considerable magni telegraphing account of the great v 1 ranee—between Mr Dawffb P p lnce Charlie and Peut-etre, the winner t T™ amD -J Sesh l ire stakeß ‘ Th « match was for Loo° a side though we believe it is true that between LIOO.OuO and L 200,000 changed hands over the event. Never, peihaps, before nas so much enthusiasm been evinced at Newmarket as was evoked by the victory of Prince Charhe. Ihe old horse, grand specimen as he is of the iMjghsh thoroughbred, is not undeservedly the idol of the public, and his victory was greeted with an amount of cheerin- seldom witnessed. 1 his is his last appearance on the racecourse, aud after his success he was mounted by Mr Joues, his breeder, aud headed a procession through the town, the breeder, trainer and jockey being lustily cheered in their progress, Peut-etre ran well, but the son of Blair Athol won in a canter. Stanton, the bicyclist, was easily beaten by a horse In a two-mile race. The respective times were .--Pony-First mile, 3mins. llsecs,; second, fimms. 38secs. Stanton—First mile, oinins 2/secs ; second, 7mins. 7secs.
