Exeter and Plymouth Gazette: Friday 14th August 1863

Newton Abbot: The Races: These races commenced yesterday, and will be continued today (Friday) on the Teignbridge racecourse, about half a mile from the town, adjoining the cricket ground. The Newton races were held annually till the year 1856, and they were in every respect very successful and popular. Their discontinuance did not arise from want of funds, but through some misunderstanding between one or two of the chief promoters. Since then, other parties have taken the matter up, and several attempts have been made for their re-establishment, especially last years and the year before. In the year 1861 the course could not be obtained, whilst last year the project was commended too late in the season to ensure a successful issue. Consequently, no active steps were taken in the matter till the early part of the present season, when a committee was appointed, consisting of Messrs. Jos. Harris, J. Quick, Robert Chapple, H. Magor, (Commercial Hotel), Jas. Cull, E. White (portreeve), T. Pinsent and W. Cann. These gentlemen were materially assisted by J. Barratt, Esq., and they at once set themselves to work, and succeeded in not only obtaining a large sum of money, but in securing the services of the Right Hon. Lord Courtenay, and Sir Lidston Newman, Bart. as stewards, who also gave ten guineas each towards the race fund. J. Ingle, Esq., of Sandford Orleigh, also subscribed very liberally towards the Sandford Orleigh Steeplechase Plate of £30. … … …

Kingsteington: Choral Society: A concert of vocal and instrumental music was given by the members of this flourishing society on Thursday evening, the 9th instant, in the schoolroom of the above place, and it was very numerously attended. Amongst the audience were Lord and Lady Clifford and family, J. Manning, Esq., and the Misses Manning, Rev. H. Marrin, Rev. L. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Rev. J. M. Hawker, Mr. Wright, Mr. Pinsent, &c. The programme contained much more difficult music than the previous ones. The rector was in capital voice and gave “God bless the Prince of Wales” in excellent style, which elicited a most rapturous encore. Mrs. Hext and family who are so thoroughly musical, contributed much to the success of the concert, and great credit is due to Mr. Browne for his admirable conducting. We were pleased to notice in the orchestra, which was led by A. H. Dendy, Esq., of Torquay, several well-known local amateurs who always heartily lend a helping hand in making these concerts attractive. We beg to congratulate the members of this society on their improvement and success. They deserve great credit, especially for the correct manner in which the choruses from the “Messiah” were performed.
