ENGLISH RACING.

London, May 15. At the Newmarket Second Spring Meeting to-day, the following was the result of The Newmarket Stakes, of 4500 so vs ; for three-year-olds. One mile and two furlong. Duke of Portland's ch c The Owl, by Wisdom —Rattlewings, 95t... ... 1 Mr A. W. Cox's b c Solaro, by Galopin —Capri, 9st ... ... ... ... 2 Lord Rosebery’s b c Sir Visto, by Barcaldine —Vista, 9st ... ... ... 3 May 18. For the Derby, Raconteur has again been installed first favourite, and 4 to 1 is the best offer against the son of St. Simon. Laveno is next in demand at 6 to 1, while 100 to 6 is to be had about Kirkconnel, who ruled as favourite shortly after winning the Two Thousand Guineas. Carbine and the NoveLette colt have arrived at Naples. They stood the voyage well. London, May 20. Owing to the heat at Colombo, Carbine suffered from spasm in the bladder. Mr Day tapped the horse, and had a very anxious time, as it was feared that Carbine would succumb ; but he recovered, and landed in perfect condition. Two racehorses, Perkin and Napper, collided at the Park, says a Gisborne telegram. Napper had a leg broken, and had to be shot. Perkin was injured across the loins, and it is doubtful whether he will race again. Ready, the rider of Napper, is seriously injured internally. Suff, rider of Perkin, is also much shaken. Karamea (by Tim Whiffler —Kate Coventry), who ran third in the Hurdle Race at Foxton, was sold after the race to Mr R. Stevens, of Palmerston North, for ,£lB 10s. Austral and Roscius have been scratched for the Wanganui Steeplechase.
