NORTHAMPTON AND PYTCHLEY HUNT RACES.

WKDRIMAT.
The second day of this meeting was far more enjoyable than
its predecessor, for although there was a slight tail of snow In
the tarty part 01 the morning, the sun thou. brilliantly by half
past twelve, the time appointed for the first race. The pro-
gramme was a very heavy one, no leas than nine events being set
for decision, and when this list oontalned such races as the
Spmcer Plate, the Althorp Park Makes. St. Lis Handicap, aid
Northamptonshire Cop Stakes, it Is needless to say an abtualanoe
(Amore than ordinary intimating sport was wiblessed during the
afternoon. The attendance of the general public was greater
than e.n the opening day, but the ring was not so largely
patronised, but the d .ye retina was quite as important
LB Tuesday, notwithstanding the prestige gained by the
Northamptonshire Stakes Racing commuted with the
Racing Stakes, the Spencer Plate being set for 1. se, and
by that time twenty-two of the thirty-one animals left in were
duly saddled, and cantered down to the waning-post. As is
wenn, the case with this short spin, much tate is wasted aud a
deal of patience is required to effect an even start ; and owing
to the fractiousness of some of the animals, more than half an
hour elapsed before they were despatched to one of the best
starts ever witnessed. Yamaha*, with Jemmy Grienshaw In
the saddle, was ocenspicuous from the start, and when called
upon nothing could live with him, and he won easily bye length
and a half. The prestige Of the Danebury stable produced •
tremendously hot favourite in William Pitt, as little as 6 to
1 being freely taken at one time; but he was never for-
midable at my part of the race. The winner was backed
by the followers of Mr. Chaplin, and they all landed
good stake*, the general public too throwing in for the
good thing. Tee "rose jacket' followed up this great success
y the success of Ploblem over the Sister to Hlppolyta, atter one
of the finest finishes possible to witness, and it was generally
admitted that victory wee gained by tie seagniftcent riding of
Jemmy Oramsbaw, who Stashed with remarkable patience and
brilliancy. The Althorp Park Slakes, with sixteen runners, was
won by The hake, one of the most, compact and bast looking
youngsters in the race. The remainder of the racing Is suffi-
ciently diersibed below, and, beyond remarking that Began won
the St. Lis Handicap very , we can dismiss thesubject
without any further comment. e cannot take leave of North-
ampton without testifying to the great neglect of the London
sad North Western Railway Company, in not making adequate
arrangements for the increased traMc, which they must be aware
of, and the fact that on each night the trains were two hours
behind time in London fully laminas the loud complaint(' of the
racing public The following la a return of the running:

the nett division being Oxon, Ethelred, William Pitt, Qui Vivo,
Cedric, and Jrytheta. The first noteworthy change was the
