WEYMOUTH RACES.

The first day's running in cOnneslon with them
races took place on Thursday. The weather was
fine, and, owing to the moot showers, the turf
soft and elastic. The racing both on the first and
second days was • great improvement on that of
past years, although there was &considerable diminu-
tioo in the number of wawa who attend Lodmoor
on such oocasions, and this remark especially
applies to the great scarniq of ladies and gentlemen
, in carriages, notwithstanding that both the Great
' Western and South-Weelern Railway Companies
ran excursion-trains to she town. The number of
btti men in the ring was small, but they ap-
peared to be most seseqrstic in pureeing their calling,
end Seaecelbt, at the 000clusion of a race, were
fount to be on the winning side. The stewards of
the races were Viscount Grey de Wilton, M. P. Sir
Edward Baker, Bert., Captain L S. Demon Da:ner,
M.P. Robert Brooks, Req., M.P., and Charles
Hanihro, Esq., and with the *sorption of the two
former, who were unavoidably absent, were on the
coarse, and appeared to take great interest in the
racing, Mr. T. Marshall, of Northampton, was
clerk of the course, whilst Mr. Martin Starling, jun.,
the Newmarket starter, discharged • similar duty
here. Every facility was made by them geatlemen
for the accommodation of the press, the only obstacle
in their way being thrown by the lessee of the tolls,
Mr. Goodden, of Poole, who refused to admit them
to the enclosure unless they paid the stipulated sum,
Re. 6d., which, of course, they did • but this is the
Bret instance in which they have been called upon to
do so, and we hope the rade committee next year
will let the tolls subject to the press being admitted
gratuitously. The usual amusemesta were on the
race course, and • strong body of the county polio*
force, under the direction of Superintendent Under-
wood, were present to keep order and decorum, bat
we believe their serviose were not much required.
The first race was for

tained w about any change, until near tbe straight, when
the filly was passed by Police and Mountain Doe.
The ram was tben between those two latter animals,
but Polies won easily by about a length. Antonia

started Anti-Macassar was the general favourite,
but throughout the race the horses were never more
than lialf • length apart. On corning near the
judge's stand this was lessened, and fears were
entertained that Anti-Measurer would not be able to
hold her place, and it is certain that if the horses
had gone two or three more strides Fill, do Regi-
ment would bare been first. fills was only beaten
by • abort head, and this was caused by her jockey
not having sufficient command over her to stare her
straight.

Considerable time having clawed before a good start
could be effected, but when thia was accomplishod
the horses went off well together for a short distance,
after which Fills do Regiment and Catcall& bolted.
Endsleigh led, closely waited upon by Latitude,
Cramp, Rosette, and Sister Mary; but it was not
until turning the corner that the running was made.
On coming up the straight the horses appeared to be
abreast of each other, and their speed was very
great, with the et:septic.* of that of Rosette, and it
was a matter of very great uncertainty, when near
the winninivpost, the horses being so close together,
which would be the winner. End.sleigh's jockey did
all be could to win, and succeeded in beating '
Latitude by only about a short head. Another
head's distance separated Cramp from the second
horse, whilst Sister Mary and Tring were about a
length behind; but Rosette was a considerable
distance in the rear.

speed throughout being good. Wee Aggie led by

Medin tho following order : Oldminster first,

After going about half • mile from the stand, Old•

a long distance behind, but soon after Brindisi
caught it up. Mountain Doe lagged in the rear, and
appeared to be almost done up, but such was not the
came, for when about three-quarters of a mile from
home the horses all got together. In the straight,
the race oommenced in real earnest, DO distance in
the position of the horses being scarcely discernible,
and various were the conjectures as to which would
win. When, however, within a short distance of the

PORTLAND.—Mgcmenica' hornet:rm. —On Monday
emitting, at Bt. John's schoolroom, Mr. Rickman, of
London, assisted by Mrs. Rickman, gave his literary
and musical entertainment, entitled "An Evening
with the Poets." A numerous and highly respectable
sudience attended, and listened with delight to Mr.
Riehman's amusing recitals. Bermes "Kettle and the
greet 'Ood Vire "The Witch," kis., were capitally
rendered, and caused great amusement. The story in '
prose of the "Roast Pig" was also well received.
baring the evening the audience were favoured with
some firstelasa singing by Mrs. Rickman, which re-
flected the highest credit on her. One and all ex-
their satisfaction with the entertainnsent.
Eemite the future that the public will support every
effort made by the committee of the Mechanics'
Institute, and their honorary secretary, J. 0. Andrews,
Eel., to provide first-olass entertainments, No that the
dulness of the coming winter may be relieved by many
evenings similar to that of Monday.
WA.REHAIL—During the present year amongst
other improvements which have made their
a in this borough, the water cart, p-
vtrstara747ough private energy, liberality, an rod
un-
selfish **aid-oration for the public, should not be
overlooked. It is • first-rate one in its way, and
I the streets and ways bear evident signs of the
good it has done during the few peat hot and dusty
summer reontbs. The benefit derived is universally
acknowledged. There is an old adage which we
have seen, That a good work begun is half done."
It remains to be seen bow far this applies to Ware-
ham. Great improvements have also taken place in
the pa works and mains.

impeding they were third clam passengers, he asked
them if they bad secondclass tickets. They answered
" Yea." On the train arriving at Shillingsfone, the
