EPSOM SUMMER KERTINGL—TcrisDAT.

The wisest of the weather-wise were totally unprepared
for the extraordinary change which occurred in the weather
on the opening day of the Derby week of 1863. Rain,
which for several days had fallen freely, was on Monday
evening accompanied with a chilling nor'-waiter, which at
early dawn swelled into n perfect gale, rending the canvas
roofs from the booths, and having nothing but remnants
fluttering violently in the wind. As might be expected, the
cold, boisterous, and wet weather had a marked effect upon
the attendance of general company, which was mach below
the average. Though the AabituO of the course appeared
on the inaugural day to be as well represented as upon pre-
vious anniversaries, there was. nevertheless, • falling-off
not pleasing to the lessee—in the patronage extended to the
ring and Grand Stand. Should the weather be fine this day
(Wedneray), unusual prestige will be attached to the pre-
sent Derby-day from the fact of the Prince of Wales having
signified his intention ,of being present, accompanied
by a numerous suite. The first of the half dozen
events fixed for decision yesterday (Tuesday) was the Craven
Stakes, with which race the meeting opened at two o'clock.
Although none of the nine competitors comprise any Derby
favourites, the running of the Craven Stakes was peculiarly
interesting, from the fact of stable companions of
Derby candidate being amongst the ruoners, whilst the
" form" displayed by some of the public horses was cake.
lated to either increase or decrease the confidence in the
Derby and Oaks "nap." The success of Adventurer
brought Borealis, who, it will be remembered, ran the City
and Suburban winner to a neck in the Flying Dutchmen's
Handicap at York, more prominently forward in the Oaks
quotations, sod the respectable running of Comet
had a similar upward tendency. with Golden
Pledge for The Derby. The inglorious performance
of Buckenham destroyed all confidencein the chance of
The Ranger, and the position: obtained by Brother to
Morocco caused King of the Vale to slightly decline in the
Derby market. Liviaptons, Mies Julia, and Welland ran
a very game race for the Heatacote Plate, which was won
almost in the last stride by Lord Stainford's "Roarer."
Notwithstanding the soccer of Drummer Boy in the
Brighton Stakes it scarcely improved the condition of his
stable companion, Maccaroni, in the Derby quotations,
although it memorially inspired the backers of the bol-
stered-up favourite with increased confidence. The public
running of Molly Carew and Sister to Queen of the Vale
we the cause of their being in arch immense force. The
debut of Fills de l'Air was not made without the
Frenchmen having itheir money upon " the daughter
of the air," who succeeded in defeating Molly
Carew, whose unkind running indicated that she
was not partial to • long distance. An exciting race
for the Bons Stakes resulted in the victory of Wingrave,
whose success restored confidence in the Derby chance of
King of the Vale, " the Baron's " horse being eagerly sup-
ported at 10 to 1. The " Confederacy " pulled off the
Horton Stakes by the aid of Dirt Cheap, whose sale bene-
fited the fund to the extent of 80 pounds. Subjoined is a
detailed account of the running :

The following also ran s—Atherstone, Buckenham, Beanvale,

Betting : 6 to 5 against Atherstona, 9 to 2 against Adven-
turer, 6 to 1 against Buckenham, 100 to 8 each against
Comet and Isoline, and 100 to 7 against Brother to Morocco.
Comet led for 200 yards, after which Atherstone took up
the running, followed by Brother to Morocco, Comet,
Adventurer, and Bothrham • Blackdown being tailed off.
They ran thus into the straight, and upon reaching " the
road," Adventurer on the upper ground went to the frost,
and Atherstone being beaten at the stand gave way to
Indio° sad Comet. Adventurer, however, was never
caught, and won easily by three lengths. A neck separated
the second and third. Atherstone was a bad fourth ;
Beckenham, fifth ; Brother to Morocco, sixth ; Stockoinser,
seventh ; Blackdows, eighth ; and Beauvale last. The
result of this race had the effect of bringing Golden Pledge
more prominently in the betting for the Derby, and
Borealis for the Oaks. Golden Pledge was backed for the
first-named event at 33 to 1, whilst the highest offer against
Borealis for the Oaks was 4 to 1.
