EPSOM RACE& -FRIDAY.
THE OAKS DAY.

- -
The Oaks Day was scarcely celebrated with the eclat of
many former anniversaries, although the company was as
large, or even larger, than ever. The weather was rough
and boisterous, and a small penetrating rain fell in the course
of the afternoon. Still the members of the fair sex who
were present bore up with something like heroism against
the cold, while the high wind which prevailed. luhing the
canvass booths and disteedinj roaoy alight flounce and skirt, •
seemed to render the probable succour of Hurricane at least
highly appropriate to the tiocasion. It is only
just to the gallantry of the men to say that they
devoted themselves to their fair charges with an
enthueisstic determination to render them as com-
fortable and happy as possible under the circum-
stemma The " Hill" was again strongly occupied by
tarriagu of every description, while upon the Grand Stand
was ranged a fascinating array of rank and beauty. The
said embraced seven races for decision, commencing at
half-past I o'clock with the Ewell Plate, and terminating
with a half mile match between two well-known "Ayers,
at o'clock. The Ewell Plate having been won by the
favourite, Keane, ridden by Challoner (who afterwards
steered Feu de Joie) preparations were made for the second
great encounter of the week. Hurricane continued (aeon-
rite up to the close, while Sappho and Olive Branch had also
heats of supporters in the betting ring. When the tele-
graph hoard was hoisted it showed 19 runners, thelargest field
during the past fourteen years, the only absentee of any
note being Aoula who had been backed during the gest
week for the Mee' race. Two runners were Awe:pettedly
added to the list of starters in Annette and Banoerdale, who,
from the neglect of their trainers in not declaring their
colours over night, were omitted from the card. The result
et the race was as little anticipated as the victory of Cams
Lens oa Wednesday, even by the most pretentious of turf
" prophets." Hurricane and the other favourites were de-
feated and disgraced, while the first and second were Feu de
Joie and Imperatrice, both discarded outsiders. The winner
is the property of Mr. It. C. Naylor, "the Hootoo millionaire,'
and is trained by Godding, at Newmarket. Her owner was'
to-day somewhat recompensed for the vexatious accident
which necessitated Caterer's being scratched for the Derby.
Feu de Joie was admirably ridden by Olialloner, one of
'the best conducted and most rising jockeys of the day. The
stable, however, had hotlittle coofishawe in'the filly, which,
as a further illustration of the uncertainty of racing, had
been beaten in a trial. When the Oaks had been de-
cided, the company rapidly dispersed, while almost blind-
ing elouda of duet ware blown abut by the violence of the
wind from the chalky roods. The remainder of the day's
start will be found detailed below :

Mr. Manning, with his usual ptuictoality, had all the
nineteen jockeys weighed, and the preliminary canter was
takes in admirable time, and the fillies at once proceeded
through the saddling paddock, and out by the gate on to
the course in the following order :—Alerts, Mahan, Miley,
Ethel, Bertha, My Partner, Bonny Breastknot, Feu de
Joie, the Maid of Mash•m filly, the Omoo filly, Sappho,
Barman* Q.E.D., Hurricane, Villette, Olive Branch,
Annette, Imperatrios, and the Mies Sarah tiny. In the
acme order they demanded into the valley to the starting
poet, where, after but one single failure, one of the best
starts ever effected took place, the lot getting off in
beautiful order, and until the mile sail • quarter
post with roiched no perceptible advantage woa obtained by
goy. On passing opposite Sherwood's Cottage, Lord Glas-
w's two, Maid of Madam and Miss Sarah fillies (both
elan to the rails) held • slight lead, with lmperatrioe, Feu
&Joie, Q.E.D., Mahals, Bennenlale, and the Omoo filly
next, Alerts end Sappho heading the next lot, the rear
being brought up by Bonny Breastkoot, Miley, and Annette.
No change of importance occurred in the front rank until
the milepost was past, when Hurricane rushed
past Lord Glasvw's leaders, and at nos took the
command, the Maid of Marsha= and Miss Sarah
fillies following the favourite, second and third. These
three, with Banoerdale, Pen de Joie, Imperatrice, and
Bertha came on towards Tatteuhamcorner in front,
Q. E. D., Mabala, Alert., and the Omoo filly still heading
the second, or forlorn division, the convalescent My Partner
baring fallen beck into the rear, and joined Bonny Breast •
Miley, and Annette. On desoendiug the hill past
Tattenham-corner Hurricuse led the way • cracker, and
Sappho at the same time got on better terms with the
leaders, but did not show io front long, and before the turn
into the straight was reached the filly held out signals of
distress, and at once retired amongst Use ruck.
Immediately after rounding the turn into the
straight Imperatrice took her place by the side of Hurricane
(close to the rails), the favourite running in the centre of the
course with Fen de Joie, the Mim Sarah filly, Alerts, the
Omoo filly, Bertha, sod Mahal& at their quarters, this lot
only appearing to ham wen n* I. tire race. Oa leaching
the datums the hillappesred to tell upon Hurricane, and
Ashmall showed signs of being runny in his saddle. This
wasquickly perceived by several members of the ring, and
shouts of the " favourite's beat" resounded from several
parted the enclosure at once, and immediately afterwards
she was passed by both Impemtrice nod Feu de Joie.
Opposite the New Stand appropriated to the trainers
and jockeys. Mr. Naylor's filly obtained the lead
from Colonel Townley's mare, sad amidst loud shout' from
the followers of the primrose and cherry cap, Feu de Joie
went in a clever winner by two lengths, lmperati ice beat-
ing the favourite for wenn many by a north. The Mies
Sarah filly was a bad fourth, Alerts close up fifth, the
Omoo filly several lengths off sixth, whilst at an interval
of two or three lengths earn Bertha and Mahal', the last
four being My Partner, Bonny Brsastkoot, and Annette,
the latter walking in amidst the crowd, who broke on the
course the fastest the race was decided. Time, 2m. 48 nee.
