EPSOM RACES.

Yesterday was in every sense of the word an " off
day ;" the races possessed very little interest, the fields
were small, the company was thin, and the weather dull
and misty. The Oaks betting, usually brisk on the day
before running, was fiat, the only animals backed with any
spirit befog Trousseau and Bird-on-the-Wing, the favourite
was on the decline. With reference to the Derby, we collect
that an easy settling is very generally anticipated; Mr. Davis,
the heaviest loser, is reported to have been hit to the extent:of
at least 30,0001. ; had either Barbarian or Chief Baron
Nicholson won he would have landed" an immense stake.
The subjoined return of yesterday's sport will show that
there was little to attract the multitude:—
