THE ALEXANDRA-PARK DlEETlNG.—Werientenee,
The second day's meeting at the Alexandra-park was
even more numerously attended than that of T u.t.luy, it
being computed that nearly twice as many people paid for
admission at the gates. The watther, too, war actin
gloriously one, and the; circumstance may have temeted
many to visit this new eubuilian retreat. IL was asturally
expected that the Prince of Wales would patronises this
new metropolitan venture, and along the raid flags of
welcome and bannent of gratulation had been suspended
from many houses, but the handsome stand creetd for
royalty wen quite deserted, none of the party putting in an
a I yea: atiee. Naturally the course was again very hard,
and indeed dangerous going, hence the limited Heels,
although there was not, as on the opening day,
a walk over for any of the stakes. Of the half
dozen events on the card moat interest centred in the
Grand Prize. This was set down as a moral certainty for
Knight of the Garter, and little betting occurred on the
event. The Ralf Mile Handieete, Flute fell to the favou-
rite, Carlotta, who, with Rhododendron, bad the race to
herself throughout. The Selling
Stakes was carried Intl
unotbet Newmarket representative
hailing teem the
saner elable as Carlotta, a filly by King Tom, out' Agra,
Who landed the hackers a lot of money. Friponnier having
been struck out of the Grand Prize at one o'cloek, Brit
event wan deprived of much of its interest, the Dr.:Aire( of
the stet of Chevalier d'lndustrie and Knight of the Garter
at " Frip's " favourite distance creating great excite-
• nt. The runners were Captain Machell'e horse,
Orion, and Beauty, the former and latter of whom car-
ried penalties for previous successes, though that of
Beauty was nullified by a six allowanis. 0.1.14
were laid on "the Knight," but Orion. who it will Is: re-
am mbered lan a great horse for a mile and a quarter in
the baby, made the whole of the running, awl won in
a canter by four lengths ; Beauty, who broke down, being
beat( n off. Immediately after the race, backers were no
impressed with the performance of Orion, that 23 to 1 was
freely accepted about him for the St. Leger. Mr. Rrayley
won the Mutwell-hill Stakes by the aid of Prince Regent,
who ban done very well for that gentleman sinre he pur-
chased him at Lord Jersey's sale. Fleetwing kept the
name of Buccaneer before the public by winning the
Juvenile Stakes, but she found a new owner, as Ben Land
obtained her for 300 guineas for Lord Paulett. A
capital day for the favourites was coucluded by
Actress carrying off the Nursery Plate. During the after-
neon there was some speculation on future events, 400
to NO being uaepted and afterwards offered about Gomera
for the Grxidwood Stakes, one leviathan speculator offering
an .yen thousand that she was nut in the first Bow:. For
the St. Leger 1100 to 400 was accepted in favour of The
Earl, and had 10 to 1 been fortheomingagainst K ire Alfred,
the Baron's colt would have mot with genuine support ;
but bookmakers declined to lay anything over 9 to I.
2000 to 100 was Mono bet laid agst Lady Elizabeth, and,
as previously mentioned, the like rate of odds w.e. rca lily
accepted about Orion. The detail, of the spurt are ap-
pended.
