SPORTING.

EPSOM RACES-TUESDAY.

Having, in our preliminary notice on Monday, referred to
the various details in connexton with the arrangements for
the week, it will be sufficient to state here that, io far u
the misting has peeeeeded, they have been efficiently carried
out. • We wish it was in our power to add that the meeting
commenced under favourable circumstances ; the reverse
was the ease, the heavy and continuous rain in the morning
having induced hundreds who would otherwise have been
present to reserve themselves for the " great " day. The
weather cleared up about noon, and was fine for three or
four hours; but the mischief was done, and the company,
both in number and rank, was the thinnest
we ever saw on the first day of a summer
meeting on Bpsom Downs. The sport left nothing to com-
plain of se to quantity—the Craven Stakes, it is tree, from
the knowledge that Cointawood and Black Eagle would
" enter the lists," was the purest we have seen for many
yeses; but all the selling stakes and plates produced espitil
entzies. ensuing, with •the aid of heats, an abundance of
rasing each day.. The Craven Slakes, shed as WM the-entry,
and deprived of much of Its interest by the non-appearance
f Collmewood, produced a very exciting contest between
Black Eagle and Swordplayer, the final struggle being so
close that the Judge pronounced it a dead heat. The
Woodoote, although many of the hones were dark, did
not lead to any exteneive speculation k it was won in a
canter by a smart filly of Mr. Oratwuke's, a stable com-
panion of the Duke of Richmond's Officious, the winner of
the two-year-old shims at Northampton, Bath, and Epsom
Spring Meeting. The match was interesting only to the
owners, and the heats, most of which were run in a heavy
fall of rain, may he left to speak for themselves. No an-
necessary delay took place in running them off, and the list
was got through shortly before coven o'clock.
