NEWMARKET, a market town of England, consisting mainly of one long street, wide and well lighted, the N. side of which is in Suffolk and the S. side in Cambridgeshire, 13 m. E. by N. of Cambridge, and 56 m. N. E. of London, with which it is connected by the Eastern Counties railway ; pop. in 1871, 4,534. It con- tains a corn market, assembly rooms, a hand- some church, several schools, and a jockey club. There are 15 establishments for training horses, which is the principal business of the place. It derives its chief importance from the races, seven of which are held annual- ly, viz. : the Craven and the first and second spring meetings, in April and May, at fort- nightly intervals ; the July ; and the first and second October meetings and the Houghton, in October, a fortnight apart. The race course, considered the best in Great Britain, is about 3 m. from the town, and between 4 and 5 m. in circuit. There is also a training ground about 1 m. long. In the principal church is a monument to Frampton, who was trainer to Queen Anne and to George I. and II. Near Newmarket is Chippendale park, with fine pleasure grounds. An old Roman intrench- ment, known as the Devil's ditch, runs in a straight line directly across the heath upon which the race course is situated. NEW MEXICO, a territory of the United States, situated between lat. 31 20' and 37 N., and Ion. 103 and 109 W. ; length on the E. boundary 345 m., and on the W. boundary 390 m. ; average breadth N. of the 32d paral- lel, 335 m. ; area, 121,201 sq. m. It is bound- ed N. by Colorado, E. by Indian territory and Texas, S. by Texas and Mexico, and W. by Arizona. The territory is divided into 13 counties, viz. : Bernalillo, Colfax, Dona Afia, Grant, Lincoln, Mora, Rio Arriba, San Miguel, Santa Afia, Santa Fe, Socorro, Taos, Valencia. Santa Fe, the capital, had 4,765 inhabitants in 1870. The principal other places are Albu- querque, Cimarron, Fernando de Taos, Las Cruces, Las Vegas, Mesilla, Mora, Placita, and Silver City, each having more than 1,000 in- habitants. The population of the territory, ac- cording to the federal censuses, has been as fol- lows: 1850,61,547; 1860,93,516; 1870,91,874, of whom 172 were colored and 1,309 non-tri- bal Indians. The apparent decrease between 1860 and 1870 is due to the setting off of terri- tory to form Arizona and a portion of Colora- do. Making allowance for the inhabitants thus transferred, there was an actual increase with- in the present limits of New Mexico of about 20,000. Next to the District of Columbia it is the most populous territory in the Union. Of the total population in 1870, 86,254 were native and 5,620 foreign born, 47,135 males and 44,739 females. Of the natives, 83,175 were born in the territory ; of the foreigners, 3,913 were born in Mexico.

There were 21,449 families, with an average of 4*28 persons to each, and 21,053 dwellings, with an average of 4'36 to each. There were 48,836 persons 10 years old and over who could not read, and 52,220 who could not write; of the latter 49,311 were natives and 2,909 foreigners, 23,779 males and 28,441 females ; 9,718 were from 10 to 15 years of age, 10,005 from 15 to 21, and 32,497 were 21 years old and upward, of whom 15,031 were males.
