BEDFORD RACES.-THURSDAY.

Yellowing the Northampton Meeting apparently tad •
tensfisial effect on the Bedford gathering, the sport
throughout the afternoon being excellent, while the atten-
dance was very good, the stand being patronised by a large
and fashionable company. The ring was not crowded, but
there were plenty of boo
present, whose time was
occupied, as speculation was carried on with great
' The melancholy and fatal accident which
happened to poor Harry Onmshaw oast a gloom over the
preesedings and throughout the afternoon nothing else
'leas talked about, the greatest sympathy from all persons
helag expressed for the poor fellow and his young widow.
The few feats which reached Bedford by telegram were,
that Gricashaw, after leaving Northampton on Wednesday
travelled to Cambridge by rail, and was driving from
thence to his residence at Newmarket, when the convey-
nine came into collision with something, and both Grim-
ing and his servant were thrown out, poor Grimahaw
&leg killed instantly, while the man, more fortunate,
soaped with a broken oollar-bone. The mad news was
• transmitted by telegram to James Grimshaw, who
WI immediately for Newmarket, quite broken-hearted at
the calamity that had befallen his favourite and much
esteemed brother. The racing was of an interesting
character, particularly the close and exciting finishes in
the Two Year Old Stakes and the Bedfordshire Stakes.
ne ignominious defeat of Ethelred in the last-named
nee created a great sensation, his chance being consi-
dered so good that even money was freely laid in him.
Bo had was the performance considered, that immediately
after the race the odds of 1000 to 15 were offered against
him for the Cesarewitoh. Throughout the day, Cesare-
witch betting was briskly carried on, and the most note-
worthy movements were the return of Chepstow to the
premiership and the rapid advance of La Favorite.
