MANCHESTER SUMMER MEETING.-THVILIDAY.

The attendance to-day was not nearly so large as that of
yesterday, although the race of the meeting—the Manchester
Cup—was set for decision this afternoon : but still the com-
mittee have essay reason to be satisfied with the muster the
holiday people made, and the amount of money taken at the
"gate." The weather was again delightfully line, and one of
the objectionable features of the opening day, the dust In the
ring ; was disposed of by the plentiful application of water.
Musk vas the favourite for the opening event—the Enville Nur-
sery Plate, dedicated to Lord Stamford , but he nearly came on
his head soon after starting, and, Butler never being able to
recover him, Roes Pauline won cleverly from Retort. Verity
not only landed the backers a let of money in the Selling Handi-
cap, but enabled Kenyon to score a win in the presence of his
towspeople—a feat for which he was loudly cheered. Mr. Norton
thought sufficiently well of the filly's performance to give 30 gs.
for het. Palatine, a winner at Shrewsbury, won the Beaufort
Stakes from Hind, who was suocesidul here yesterday, but whose
penalty told upon her. The Tradesmen's Cup produced but
four runners. and taw a hot favourite In Lord Hastings upset by
Buttercup, the property of the same owner—Mr. Eastwood.
There was no declaration to win with the second in the North-
amptonsblre Stakes, who was beaten a quarter of a mile from
home, and Buttercup managed to stall oft Feodor. A silver cup
was presented to Watson, the trainer of Buttercup, and a gold
mounted riding whip to little Wilson, her Jockey. Patrician
scored his second victory at this meeting in the City Handicap,
proving himself a very fair horse over a short course. The
Donnington Plate fell to Mr. Tom Part's Tim Bobbin, although
Rosa Pauline was very freely backed on the strength of her
previous performance. Maddock won the last event, as he was
bound to do on public form, and a fair day's sport was brought
to a conclusion. Appended are details of the running.
