EPSOM RACE S

FRIDAY.—THE OAKS.
The gallantry of oar forefathers inatitatad
rum for the Oaks, and the chivalry of Uttar descendants
maintained iis esbibrity to the present time. Friday
indeed, always been canalized a kind of drawisg-rasa
day is digit's= rase week, and the Oaks has been
ably distingahhed by a brilliant attendance of the '
to whom it was especially dedicated. It has, howe \
mach of its alai this year, owing to the ablaze* .
military amateurs, who wire amass:maid to patronise
race. Balaban of them gallon fellows are now "
their country's battle, in the East, and—we grieve
it—aany are resting in their soldiers' graves on the
stained Hello of Alma, Inkarmaan, aad of Saluki's'.

Notwithstanding these sad other drawbacks arising
the immoral depression, the attendance ea Bpsom dowse
larger than might have beet expected, though met eqr
what we ban sees at many a past Oaks. The Grand
enclosure was throoged with sporting professionals,
tolerably numerous array of ladies in their gay eastern's,
to whisk the graceful play of elegant parasols gave -
*tonnes effect, clustered lice summer flowers •

Many of the uistomatie patrons of the turf were, ..
ever, miming from the scene. Seldom have we behold
few private and public carriages on the road, although'
day was aa tempting as could have been desired.
brood sunshine t►e country looked remarkably
trees waving their froth green locks rejoicingly, and
rows budding and blossoming into vernal beauty.
genial breeze from the south kept the atmosphere pleasantly
cool and enhanced the enjoyment of the sport, which ww
.suffici.-ntly interesting and exciting for the gratification ,
those who thought more of the racing than the weather.
The Oaks—the great feature of the day--afforded w
scope for speculation. Nettle had advanced in favour,
the 'maintained a strong position in the %attics •

were, however, destroyed by an unfortunate accident,
particulars of which will be found in the subjoined d•
tion of the race.

excellence of the arrangements of the meeting. The
of the stewards and of the race officials generally were
Wooly and assiduously discharged ; nothing that could

aid of a body of the metropolitan police.
