TUNBRIDGE RACES.- FRI DA Y.

A great improvement on the weather induced a larger
company to patronise the meeting than on the opening
day, while the ring and grand stand were crowded. The
sport was very good, the fields being of more than average
ntsength, and the meeting concluded so succeesfully that
there is every probability of its increased importance next
year. Full details of the running are appen.!ed

LICHFIELD SUMMER MEETING. —Fitrosy.
The weather to-day wee more favourable than that of
yesterday, honsequently there was a considerable accession
to the company. Prior to the commencement of the races,
and indeed. until several of them had been decided, there
we. some sensation in the ring consequent on its trans-
piring that Mr. Smith, the owner of The Squire, who ran
second to Lady Hester for the flutings Plate the previous
day, intended to lodge en objection against the winner on
the ground that the competitors had only gone half a mile
instead of six furlongs. It was given out that there was a
likelihood of the backers of Lady Hester losing
their money, but their team were allayed by the
official notification that no objection had been
made in accordance with the laws of racing which stipulate
that it should be lodged within a quarter of an hour after
the race. Mr. Smith being made aware of the law by
Admiral Rous, he allowed the matter to drop. It was
clearly ascertained, however, that the horses had only gone
half a mile instead of the advertised distance. To-days'
rasing was more favourable to the beakers, for although
sae or two favourites were bowled over, the winners were
always backed for a lot of money. Details of the defs
sport are appended :
