THE STAKES DAY

Almost every expresaion of eulogy having been lavished upon
fbedwoed, the term " gloriosn' has now heroine eysionyttnete
with tile locality whereat the racists is eelthratol. Perhaps on
no previous ...Aston has this nett re son *omelette.% under
such faveurable rumples.. the weather letter of the most brilliant
dereription, awl the company the most select nod tirideenstic.
If there was any teeing elf numerically on the hrd day, it aas
fully made up today. t .r by the time the racing commenced the
Npachats enclosure was crammed, whilst the "lawn '• was
ensenlesi with female beauty indeed it was conceded that the
fascinating show of hulks had never been extelled. and the
number of fteapeople on the outside of the course
was greater than ever. Not more pleasing acne gain
iniagined than the lower end of the - lawn on a stake.. or
cep day. This charmed precinct has by /Immo and gallantry
been devoted to the ladies, whoee elegant manner attire, Wendel
as it is with all the most brilliant tints, presents a scene of
unequalled beauty. The Primal of Wales and Prince Teak again
honoured the courses ith their presen:e, and the royal party was
furtheriticreamed by the patronage of the Prince and Proncess
e..lwani of Saxe-Belmar. the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of
Richmond, the Duke of Hamill. n, and the Duke of Manchester
and the c we:manta of the " lawn" also included a distinguished
11aarty,whowere111011•11M1 with Billiton..., and participated in the
hoepitalities of I:odWo4sal llouae. The immense trains from Lon-
don, Brighton, Portsmouth, and elsewhere, commenced to arrive
at Chichester and Drayton at an early hour. Almost every con-
! ceivalSe description of vehicle was prone,' into the servb e. and
war prices charged "per nob." Ina they all obtained patronage,
and from eleven o'clock until after two streams of carriages
poured through the drives. Although no fewer than ten items
were on the card, it was not anticipated that the fields would he
numerous: and, as will brier'', the anticipations were borne out.
Racing commenced at one o'clock with the ceoliwned fierily, but
as neither Claymore nor Blinkhoolle put in an appearance, the
race ass walked twee for by Yriponniee. lids lull in the piss

feature of it was the addtional support awarded to
Mr. Hodgman's melding, who was now head and head with
Cement in the quotations, but in a few MIIIUSCS he healed the
mare, and an hear prior to the decision of the race was first
favourite. Lord }1 eetinorland's colt by Vedette was also in
some deinand, especially at the " lists," where the public put
the money down on him for apiece. Eleven runners contested
the Sweepstakes over the T.Y.C. for which Rnian and Pythen
were stale equal favourites, Alintna anti et Valentine being
the next fancied : hut the result proved that the race was a good

was appointed for ludf.past two o'clock, and when the numbers

seeing a lot of his opponent& beaten. When fairly in the straight
there were only the three placed left in tier rave with any chance
of success, and as they neared the distance the issue was re,
duced to a match between %d' and Burners, as La Dauphine
hung ao much that it required all Covey's energy to keep her
straight. Fordham's rldiog of Homers was in that famous
Jockey's brilliant style, and his '• bringing out" 1.1 the mare was
another fine spetimen of the abilities which he displayed on
Lecturer in the Ascot Cup. The colours of his Grace of Bad-
minton were carried succerfully to the fore by a length and a
half. La Dauphine was third, defeated three lengths from Visit.
Viet. the favourite, was beaten as soon as the straight was
reached, and finished fourth, whilst Douro was fifth.
The absolute last was Pakrita, Jezebel finishing the
lad but one. The victory of the Duke of Beaufort was
well received, and of course his grace wins a good
stake. His principal bet we, four " monkeys" taken
a few minutes prior to the start, but iinntedlately afterwards 5

thrice been won by horses carrying est or upwards—namely, by
Stumps, in tilaucus, in 1556. and by Chanticleer, in 184.8.
Old Reindeer, with odds on him arid Yordham in the saddle,
won the Cowdrsy Stakes, and the popular horseman scored lass
third sucswasive win, Eight went to the post for the linden
stakes, but the race proved the good thing it looked for }tableau,

In the Drawing Keen Stakes, but he won in a common canter,
being afterwards backed for the St. Leger at 1000 to 70, which
odds were booked *trend times to various amounta. During the
afternoon there was some speculation on the event of the mor-
row—the Cup. Even money was freely accepted about Vauban,
6to 2 Regalla, whilst 4 to 1 was offered against Lecturer.
This afternoon the stewards cautioned H. Clark, Butler, and
Peppier, reported by the starter, for nashehavious at the post

After taking the preliminary canters the twelve competitors
were conducted to the starting post In Indian file, headed by
City of Warwick, the last, singularly enough, being Comers.
At the first attempt a capital start wax effected, Jesabel and
Douro immediately showing In front, but when they reached
the stand Pakrita assumed is clear lead, Douro going on second,
the Vixen colt and Jezebel, side by side, being next, with Vici on
the outaide, and (looser* on his left, the last pair being
Clarke and Primrose. As they rounded the first turn, Parka,
with her •• feather" weloht, increased her lead, Jezebel
and Douro still going on second and third, clear of V. lid Briar,
Comers, Viel, and the Vixen cult. The only noteworthy change
which occurred as they descended the was the improved
positions oif Wild Briar and Primrose, and as they rounded "the
clump" Wild Briar run up to Paktile, the pair racing on aisle by
side nearly a dozen lengths In advance of Jezebel, Douro, La
Dauphine, Guy ad Warwick, and Vidi, until they reappeared In
eight, when Wild Briar was many lengths In advance of Parka,
who already began to give way, Comers, Vidl, La Dauphine,
and Vlel succes,ively paring her, and closing with yr. Naylor's
mare as they came &mu the hill to the straight, before reaching
which she gave way and resigned the lead to Via who
was closely followed by Gowen, who ran through her
horses the moment Pordluun called upon her, La Dan-
phine, who " hung " on the rails a great deal alone,
being in the race of the remainder, who were completely
•••preadeardel." As they neszed the diatance the race bee-ante
a match between Cowers and Vidl, and as they approached the
end of the enclosure it app.rebtly looked odds upon Vldl, but

The prisoner in her defence said that she was always
kind to the child, and be was very fond of her. She also
!mid that she did not know the water was so hot, or she
should not 'lase put the child into it.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty.
Justice Blackburn told her that it was quite clear she
had caused the death of this poor child by her gross negli-
gence and want of proper caution in not ascertaining the
temperature of the water before she placed the child in it.
As a *wining to others in a similar position, be should
order her to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for
four months ; and in passing this sentence he took into
consideration that she had been already four months in
