In tlT.fir7t heat, Reform, which was leadiug7fell at the
ths4 hurdle, and Mr. Ilarris an. threw, heavily againgt
the hurdle, and partially stunned ; but he was immediately
taken up, and appeared soon to recover. When we looked
at the race again the Cure was leading, followed by
Chananunix and Irishman, Clommel to the rear. At the
dist ince the leader (Cure) had a narrow escape of a
tumble, and in recovering himself gave way to Chamounix.
and in this order they rams! twine. Chainounix won
easily by two lengths, a length between second and third.
—For the second heat, four started, Cl° 1111 l el leading fol-
lowed by Irishman. the Cure, and Chanommix in that
order. The two latter ran past their rivals, and had a race
to themselves, when Chamounix beat the Cure, and led,
and the rear hones came up, an that the three hinder ones

indeed did not take an their buniles. In the second
heat, Magenta was making all the running, and promisesl
to win easily, but fell at the third hurdle, and Mr. BarUett
who was riding, was heat ily thrown on his shoulder, and
broke his collanbone. Ile was removed front the sands in
a carriage under the eare of Dr. nimpnon. Thn other
horses came on eccentrically, some taking the hurdles only
after repeated urging, and one refusing altogether, in spite
of his jockeys continued efforts. Rawly was the lint in;
but the others were a long *gay lochinoL Deciding heat:
Magenta led all the way, and just tantalised Randy into
extra effort, by letting the distano, he so short as a neck.
This terminated the sports for that day.

the rector preached ; taking as his text. Hebrews ix, 27

offered to bear the sins of litany : wet unto them that
look for Him shall he appear the second time without silt

a very unsightly zigzag path leading to Mr. Jemmies gate.
and a very high hank. The gate is now to he removed to
the middle of the wall, and a timed eloping approach made
thereto, thus doing away with the ugly and dangerous
bank. The old stonework, dirty and revered with wetds,
is being replaced hy wad Pew hammer tlretwed stone, and
Fortune's well will be lunch improved in this Part.
