Though Belinda was the favourite at starting, the
contest lay between Frederic, Achill's, and Blv es ;
and. comparatively speaking, whin they came in, a
Asa would have coveted the three; indeed, so near
were the two former, that the Steward ptoaoanczd
it'a dead heat, whilst the favourite was almost dis-
timed. In the second heat, Belinda again came in
last, and the others close together, when the betting,
which was at starting three to one in her favour,
vow turned against her ; however, in the third heat
she made a pu,h, and came in fint ; after which,
efehilles was drawn, and, in the fourth heat, Belinda
aga;n wac 61st.
Same day, use Coiner won the Sweepstakes of
10 guineas each, seven subieribers, beating the
Duke of Norfolk's b. m. by Pepe/4 who had won
the tint heat, but in the second she hilted.

latter, at two heats.
After the second heat for the plate on Thursday,
a newly-erefled booth, being too crowdad by ryorcons
on the roof, gave way, and fell on the heads of tho •e
who were drinking below ; but we are happy to
say, that no person was materially hurt by the *-
aide's,.
The company at the ordinaries and balls was very
numerous, and highly respetlable, comprising the
first families In the county.- arrangements at
