EPSOM SPRING Via:TING. W
EDNIKDAY.
The weather today was still name brilliant, if
than that which favoured the City and Suburban Letblt
gun being as powerful as one is in the habit of amocating
with the Goodwood week. The chid drawback to the ocim-
fort and enjoyment of the dame was the fine white dant
which the traffic in the anomie near the steed and on the
roads drove up, rendering the air thick, ekes, and oppressive.
Although racing did not commence till 1.30, the beet*
enclosure was ailed tone before that time, and though the
Great Metropolitan • femme betting nes—
has been • dead letter in the 'market, it fornielied •
medium for heavy spendatiee beg before the nem
commenced. Verger and Plasm, who in Lades
overnight were rumoured sonata:Wm were the
priecipal animals supported on the amenibling of
the dig members. Abeat the former as little as sto 2 was
freely mowed before the mumbles for the int mos were
hoisted, and Planet was backed to win many hundreds, at
first at 100 to 3, and finally at 10 to 1, the latter prior
being laid by one iodueatial bookmaker to another of his
clam. Dollar, Blackclown, Beatrix, Breeze, and Welcome
were the other hones mostly invested upon before the
day's sport commenced. The 200 Noes. Sweepstakes, b ft,
over the five (Grimes course, resulted is • match between
Viceroy and Demotion, the former of whom, with odds
COO him, won, though not until after • hard fight, by
half a length. The Waterloo Flats attracted fourteen
to the post. and a " warm us" was bowled over
in Advance ; the talent, who rushed madly on con-
sequent upon his forward position in the City and Sub•
urban, laid 7 to 4 before the flag fell, but the good
thing was upset by Nip, to whom Hearer oouoeded Oat 91b
on Tuesday. The match between Roma and Dentures of
Kent resulted, am everybody anticipated, in the victory of
the animal which was made favourite, notwithstaodiog
Fordham wan pat up on Dunham of Kent. The Walton
Stakes, for which eight of the fifteen entered were co-
loured, brought out • field of five seeders, and terminated
in the victory of Attache, who (beaten in this ram last year),
wee • fine race from Catalogue by • nook. The Metropoli-
tan Stakes, for which twentyeix horses were coloured on
the card, stood next for decides. Upon the numbers being
heisted the field was found to number nineteen, and such
onfidence was reposed in Verger, who throughout the day
bad been increasing in favour, that 3 to 1 was eagerly
snapped up about the reputed good thing. Blackdown, who
was second in demand, ran a good game horse, but the
fur ourite disappointed the followers of the light Mexican
blue sadly. Planet, whose running in the Spencer Plate
aeeond to Paris gave the public a taste of his form,
was much fancied by the majority of backers of
horses, and was by no means a good bone
for the nog men, many of whom lost heavily.
Amongst other fancy bets we heard of was one of lOU lova
to 1 laid a short time since about the doable event, the
City sad Suburban and the Metropolitan, Argonaut end
Planet having been selected by the beaker, • speculation
which proveda moot fortunate investment. The Balaclava
was another blow for the backer; as the favourite only
finished second to Baloraook. For the Durdana Stakes six
faced the starter, and again the backers of favourites met
with reverses. Idler having been compelled to succumb to
Lytham. Nine ran for the Two-yr old Stakes, which
Count Battliyany'a alsahing colt won very cleverly by a
neck. Betting during the afternoon was noticeable for the
demonstration which was made spinet Liddington for the
Two Thousand, and the one, reigning favourite for the
blue riband received his quietha, 20 to 1 being freely
offered. Kantor** was supported at 4so 1 and Breadalbane
at a point more. The following are details of the day's
