RACING IN ENGLAND. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—-Copyright. Received Sept. 28,. 11.5 p.m. London, Sept. 27. Eleven started in the Newbury Cup Brise finished a head in front of Diapason, but was disqualified for bumping and boring. RACE IN AMERICA. Received Sept. 28, 11.30 p.m. New York, Sept. 27. The race was the most exciting of the season. Had not Wise Counsellor badly bumped Epinard at the beginning of the last furlong, the French champion would have won, in the opinion of experts. From the barrier Epinard raced out in front, closely followed .by Wise Counsellor. Zev was quickly run into the ground and Ladkin and Wise Counsellor raced neck and neck from the half-nri'le to the stretch, with Epinard two lengths away. In the, stretch Ladkin took the lead. Epinard began to close rapidly. Ladkin faltered momentarily and Epinard was coming up last when humped by Wise Counsellor. Nevertheless Epinard recovered its stride, and ran on almost even terms with Ladkin. who just pinched across the line a winner by a whisker.
