SECOND DAY.
The attendance at Aintree yesterday was large, consi-
dering the' season of the year, and exceeded by far that
of the previous day. The fields that contested the seve-
ral races were of an average character, and the quality
of the racing all that could be wished for. The book-
makers also mustered in stronger force, but, generally
speaking, they again had the worst of it. The Grand
Stand was well filled during the races, which commenced
with the Scurry Handicap, for two-year-olds, and which
brought out eight competitors,—Nutbush, as on the pre-
vious day, being made a rattling favourite. After a most
vexatious delay, but a poor start was made, the favorite,
who was piloted by Fordham, having it all her own
way, and winning by a brace of lengths. For the Tyro
Stakes, four out of the half-dozen youngsters entered
appeared at the post. Sister to Aston was made favourite,
but she was easily upset by The Duke, who appeared
very fresh, winning by two lengths. His sale realised
nt to the race fund. The Scramble Handicap was an
exciting affair, sixteen animals taking part in the race.
Pescatore, scarcely backed for a penny, repeated his
Hereford performance by landing his stake cleverly by a
length. Topsy had no difficulty in disposing of the lot
opposed to him in the Autumn Steeple-chase; and First
Lord and IVeatherbound finished the programme by
mining a dead heat for the Sefton Handicap, the stakes
being divided. Particulars of the sport are as follow:

fractiousness of Parole, and it was not until two of the officials
came to Mr. Marshall's assistance that anything like a start
was effected. When the lot got away, Nutbush rushed to the
front, and maintained the lead to the end, winning cleverly by
two lengths.., Parole. was a bad third.
