YORK AUGUST MEETING. TtrZSDAY.

The continued drought naturally interfered with the
strength of the York August Maim& which baa adorn
eseapied high rank t nefog men. Training &s-
-tints ham been so "hardened " that it has been found
shnost as difficult to train hones for their engagement' as
it is during a frost in winter, thus illustrating the old adage
that extreme. meet. On the gement occasion the ram
gathering upon linavesmire was immeshed with mom than
ordinary interest, she probable anfasoaism of General Peel
and Blair Athol in the Great Y orlobLu Sikes sharpening
the appetites of "the Tykes" with a key to the Great
Northern event shortly to de decided on the Doncaster town
moor. The report in circulation on Monday evening that
Lord Glasgow had decided not to run " the General " unites
rain came was premature, pod the watery element having
moistened the course on Monday and during the
_sport on
Tuesday, General Peel will meet Blair Athol on Thursday
(unless some accident occurs), and thus the excitement
aroused will not be appeased until the Derby battle has been
fought o'er again. The whole of the three days provide
abundant sport, the first day of the meeting
liatiog twelve races appointed for decision, which
necessitated an early commencement. The racing
began at one o'clock—the Zetlaod Stakes, converted into
• handicap, being the opening Faroe. Four of the six
coloured res, " the talent" picking out the winner Mari-
gold, about whom sto 4 was eagerly taken. The "fielders"
led a turn in the subsequent ram, in which Lord Glasgow's
four-year-old Clarior made all the running after going a
hundred yards, and woo in a canter. The Chesterfield
Handicap only brought out nine of the twenty-six coloured
from the thirty-eight subscribes,, for 'dila Lord West-
asodand brought Echo to the post. He was barked like one I
of hi lordship's " good things," and did not disappoint the
followers of the green jacket. For the Selling Stakes there
was a " hot" favourite in My Fancy, who won ell the way,
and her sale after the nee placed • balance of 3701. to the
credit of the fund. Of the half-dozen runners for the Con-
vivial Stakes, the public and the talent alike, stood the un-
beaten Will Agee", who could not, however, get nearer than
third, the winner turning up in Olmar, a hone beaten off in
the Exeter Stakes, at the Newmarket July Meeting, won by
Puritan. The remainder of the racing will be found fully
