The public w,.re ag on favoured with the most
splendid of w. ether on Wedoesdly, mid again foot,
hors., and carriages swept n.Jrch wards ti Loelinoor, in
even lirger numbers than the day before. Tom teemed
to annoy our friends the exhibitors of Scripture placard..
One party was quietly proceeding to the rice ground
on foot, mul *wont them was a clerical-looking gentle-
man whose vest and necktie indicated that ho was in
holy • rotas. A. they passed ' the blues and yellow
banner, a solemn voice exclaim..d. "There's • man
professiug to show the way to heaven, and he's going
tee devil's road, and doing the devii's work I" Other
exhortation* were shouted aft •r those whojogged along
to the rad ,s, and tracts were freely pushed into every
one's hinds. still the onward course continued, and
when the pity Lid arrived, and the racing was about
to beain, it seemed that there sru an inerram in the
atteuilance, especially inside ths Ring, while the uum•
her of eirria4e. was certainly increased. Our two
borough members were present, and affably enter-
tained their oonstituent.,and good humour and amicable
feeling reigned supreme. The racing was pretty good
on the whole; kn.. the great feature was the spirited
contest fir tho Qll,o3U'd Plate, in which the favourite,
Pagantni, @notarised a defeat by Capt. Atkins'. The
Boy.
