THE STAKES DAY.

The entree,. l res nro of the creed at the Chichester
Railway Siato oo reday eight was something astonish.

ea numerous on the opening du of the splendid meeting.
Seats were only übtoised after bud fighting, and then an

der,' the streams as close as an oven. Nor were the ar-
reasoned. at Chichester commensurate with the occasion,
led unless the railway authorities organise a more reethu•
died ei stem at the station, the crowd on the Cup day will
be serrible to contemplate. We have considered A advis-
able to throw out this timely suggestion, perfectly wo-
rmed that public safety is jeopardised. The Stakes Day
was again favoured by the most brilliant weather, the sue
shining over the bnintdul country, lighting up hill, dale, and
wen, fichi and coating a *oft haze over the sea round the
coast. Visitors from London, Brighton, and Worthies begun
to arrive early, the special and ordinary trams from the
metropolis being seminally heevy. Drayton and Chichester

tats celebrated with all the signs of audio festivity, as all
the buleonies and windows were occupied, sod rows of spec.

bay was peculiarly interesting not only from the premiere
a the programme of the Stakes, the principal
handicap of the meeting, but from the additional attraction
of the Findon. This race, one of tree most important
two-year-old emote of the season, was liefortmately de-
prived of much of the lateral which would otherwise have
metered io it. owing to an accident to Molly Carew at
Winchester, which prevented her from fulfilling this valu-
able cogugemeut. Although there was a probability of •
small field for tho Stakes, the race was never more deeply
hared with exciting elements than on the present occasion.
The meeting between Anfield, Blonds], end Denman was
amiously anticipated, sad the faith of the persons of each
wan almost wonderful. Autield, a late stable companion of
Maccaroai, Wile to the pßost with a tremendous reputation,
▪ only from the prestige of Godding's stable, but from
the tact of his good looks, private trial, sad the
enormous amounts for which he was supported to
the lest moment. Mr. Parr was scarcely ler sanguine
with his horse, and towards the hour fixed for the
nor, the familiar query of "Have you seen Bloodin r
was
ma more upon the popular tongue. Hellman, an Irish
isportatios, who had defeated Caller Ou in Le native isle,
was to make his debut oe the English turf. This horse was
purchased by Lord St. Vincent originally to act as "school-
master" to Loed Cabe in his Derby preparation. Lord
St. Viooent having tried his new purchase favourably with i
&dud, backed him ameirdiegly, and doubtless looked for- I
ward with some mtisfaction to debate,' Aofield, and hay-
ing • sportsmaa's revenge upon the Macaroni stable for his
head defeat in the Derby. Ankle', it was seen, was ridden
bp little Jemmy Grimohaw, " the pocket Hercules," while
tlloner, now recopied as the first horseman of the age,
was retained by Lord St Vincent for Hellman. The first
race was appointed for 1 o'clock, but before that hour the
erase presented a most animated appethance, the Woo-
ds' sod grand stead being tilled by a brilliant assemblage,
whilst the ladies' lawn was absolutely dauber with rank and
beauty. The betting encleaure was filled with speculators,
and the dentorien shouts of the bookmakers, as usual, pre-
wailed above all other sato& The attendance upon the
muse was greatly in excess of the previous day, and the
greatest interest appeared to be manifested hi the isolable
issue of the stakes, althoogh the backers of Aolield were sur-
prisingly confident, and declared the race was a foregone
conclumon for the favourite. The races which pre.
coded the principal handicap did not create much
interest, and attention seemed to centre in that
ram The saddling of the thirteen competitors was
watched with much curiosity, and their condition
vie eageely winced. Anfield'e friends were evidently well
Mt-aged with his condition and style of "going," and Mr.
Grunts and his trainer were busy in superintending the
Orlion for saddling. Betting upon the raw, up the

despised outsiders. The owner of Blackdown did not

of hundred pounds. Encouraged by the good fortune
which had graded them on the Stakes, the bookmakers
" fielded" more enthusiastically, and shouted the odds
with strikers effect. The Findon Stakes produced
