BEDFORD RACES.—FRIDAY.
This meeting concluded most successfully, the attend-
ance being larger than on the opening day. The weather
was dull, but an absence of rain rendered the afteraoon
pleasant and enjoyable. Racg commenced at half-put
one and concluded at four, a convenient hour, enabling
Londoners to reach home in comfort and in excellent time.
The sport was very good throughout, but comments are
unnecessary, as every detail is contained in the subjoined
return. Betting on tea(t esarewitch was not very heavy,
and remarkable only the firmness of Proserpine and
Chepstow, and the outlays in favour of Regalia, at all
prices obtainable down to 25 to 1. The following is a
