EPSOM RACES.

FRIDAY.
Notwithstanding the threatening aspect of the
weather in the early part of the morning, the Oaks, or
Ladies" day lost little, if any, of its wonted attraction,
the numbers taken down by rail being nearly equal to what I
we have seen at the best of bygone meetings. The grand
stand was well and fashionably attended, and the throng,
noise, and confusion in the bettimr•eiselosure scarcely infe
rior to the Derby day. Besides asatay other persons of rank
! and distinction, there were Kermit: His Royal Highness
the Duke of Cambridge, attended by the Hon. James Mac-
I &said ; the Marquis of Worcester,- Marquis of Ely, Mar-
quis of Waterford, Lard Awseass. Lard Glasgow, Lord
Enfield, Lord Res Learinalsiramild, Lord Exmouth,
Lord Stanley, Lord hi Lard and Lady Chester-
field, Lord and Lady Ne Lord Strathmore,
Lord Canterbury, Lord Airlie, L. Itothschild,
Count Bathyany, Sir George Armytage, Sir R. Peel,
Sir W. W. Wynne, Sir J. Beawell, Sir J. Haw-.
ley, Hon. Captain olas, Hon. Major Pitt, lion. H.
Poverter, Hon. Colonel Anson, Hon. Major Needham, Ilan.
E. M. Mostyn, Colonel Peel, Colonel Stanley &c. &e. In
the first race, owing to the crowd having dined in before
she came up, Ventre-a-terre fell, and in getting up trod
upon her rider, who was very much tut about the face and
bruised in various parts of his body ; he was conveyed from
the course on a stretcher, but is not supposed to be seriously
in4ured.
To this race succeeded the Oaks, for which fifteen came
to the post, including a filly out of Mamsel Ots, of whom
nothing was heard until within half an hour of the race,
and who was not even included in the list of probable
starters in the cards of the day; the absentees were
Aphrodite and Sister to Wanota. The betting up
to the time of running was brisk, Breba, recom-
mended by the prestiye of the stable, actually rising
at one time to 6 to 5, but, from the spirit with
which Iris was backed, receding to 6to 4. The race
proved that there was no mistake in Breha's two-year old
form, and also proved that Iris's running for the 1,181)
Guineas Stakes must have been wrong, her jockey, on this
occasion, succeeding in landing her a winner by three parts
of a length. Many of the gentlemen are again on the right
side; but Sir Joseph Hawley and his party have conside-
rably reduced their Derby winnings, and the ring have
materially added to their losses. Frank Butler has now
won the Oaks five times—via., on Poison, The Princess,
Lady Evelyn, Ithedycina, and Iris.
Three other races succeeded the Oaks, and by 5 o'clock,
so well wa. time observed, a highly-successful meeting was
brought to a close. We subjoin details:
