I, These races came off on the Haolbury course en
Wednesday. The rain poured in torrents in the
morning, but the weather cleared up soon after noon.
Several thousands of persons were present.
Sir Henry Hoare, before the commencement of
the first xece, complained of the dangerous state
of the arum and avid he should not be at all
stiryirieed if his horse broke its b•ck. His words
*ere Soon to he verified, for, at the first fence
1 Sir Fattiest ci* Plenfpo took, the grotind gave ' way
beneath him and he cants upon hie beck, being so
severely injured as id necessitate his being immediately
killed. The ran. was • very bellow one, Sir Bobby
winning easily. In the Selling Stakes Alexandra (the
favourite) fell, and Eheu, sited' some good running,
came in an easy winner. The Crewkerne Stake. *am an
equally good thing for Chicken Hassid, which was
made the favourite. Out of thirteen entries for the

graphed, the principal horse (Hell Court), upon
ithidh so much speculation had taken place, being
'Olen& Sir Hobby, after his excellent running for the
Haselbttry Handicap, was made the favourite, and be
fitly justified the predilections of his friends, literally
'Unpins away from his horses. For the West Somerset
Open if andieap Yeller Gal was inside • favourite, but it
was upset, Fenton winning the race easily, after some
good rimming in the first part of the contest.
