THE HORSE HACI3O.—FIRST
This came off early on Saturday afternoon, when both
weather and tide combined to make the occasion every-
thing that W 1.4 pleasant. True, there were some unfor-
tunate individuals confined within doors at the tail-end of
one of the lengthiest I'minty Court days which we have
hail in Weymouth for a long time ; but the Yeomanry
are superior to all cares and vexations, and, the drill hav-
ing been got over early, they had all the afternoon for
viewing those particular sports in whirl, they delight.
The sands were beautifully firm and smooth as usual, and
the 'public !mitered again on the Esplanade, from the
New Bing, Garden, to opposite the Hovel Hotel. At the
time of starting • wide expense of sand was laid bare by
the retiring of the tide, and the spode were over lief ore
the sea returned. It was a pretty sight, the Ray luring
studded with bo%ts full of people, who had rowed alsiut
day, and many of whom now came to the very eilge,
as close in shore as they could find water enough to float
in, while others were aground in their anxiety to see the
Rates. The con tttt ittee in their waggon close the
Victoria steps had a more pleasant timo of it than we
have seen on many occasions, wheo the Races have been
run during drizzle and rain. Every lialiitu4 of Weymouth
during y anry week knows the features of the scene,
She gay and eager crowd of which the outer fringe is a
curve of boys sitting on the outmost stone of the Esplanade
wall, with a curious row of legs and boots hanging down
all round, then the few scattered people on the „mine and
near it, the cluster around the committee waggon, the
remarkable muster of the borough police, the furze-tapped
hurdles, the rippling waters, the suu-gilt hills, and the
ships in the offing. The sports themselves were suffi-
ciently exciting to draw people together, and give them an excuse for an idle time. Mr. Dunn acted 44 j Mr. F. Wadsworth as starter, and Mr. J. Bauuton as Lon.
