CIIELTENIIA3I RACES.

SECOND DAY—Tri trump...X.
The company on the coarse was nearly as numerous as yester-
day, and the arrivals which are hourly taking place, prove thei
unabated attraction of the races. It is not in the recollection of ,he
oldest inhabitant when the town has been more completely illicit,
hundreds being obliged to take up their quarters at Prestbury,
Winclicomb, Chariton, &c. all which places were full.
The weather has been fine, but on the Heath was a coat colder
than yesterday ; in fact, several were shivering, and nirmy on this
account were glad when the sport was lover, which w... 1 not till six
o'clock.
Most of the fashionablesi whose names we have before men.
boned were again present, besides many others who have arrived
since. The play was bespoken by the Stewards ; it was As You
Like 11, and the delightful acting of that highly-gifted performer,
Mr. Yates, drew forth the repeated and deafenin 1 ]audits of a
very crowded house. The ball at the Assembly Rooms was also I
very numerously attended. The gaming tables, too, have had
tb eir share of 'fishers, one of whom. Mr. M., a gentleman wet
known in this neighbourhood, is said to have carried off 2001.
from the hazard table.
It is thought that many who came here from Warwick will re-
turn there on Sunday or 3londay, to witness the lion fight on
Tuesday, which excites such an extraordinary interest. The lion,
it is stforsed, will decide the match, and bets are or. him at odds.
There lies been a great deal of betting on the Doncaster it. Leger
at the following 6-e:1, to 1 agst Memnon ; 6 to 1 agst Alder-
tll33l ; 7 to 1 agst Itedgauntial 15 to I agst Cleveland ; 16 to 1
agat Altisidora ; 20 to I agst Addy ; 25 to 1 agst Dauntless ; 25
to I agat Pastime (taken) ; 27 to 1 agst Duke of Leeds (taken to a
large amount) ; Memnon was had agst Dauntless and A (lerinan.
The appearance of the hills from Prestbury and Winchomb was
terrible ; they arc very much worn, and about six Inches in dust.
This occasioned many to expect accidents, but fortunately none
occurred.

The Races were as follows : 1
A Sweepstakes of 15 soy. each.—Coltg fist. 71b., and fillies Hit. 31b.
Untried stallions or mares allowed 31b., but only one allowance.

easy by • length. Pairs rode Larissa. Barnard Sir Harry, and J.
Day Mr. Price's. The winner is in the Derby of next year, and

Before starting, 6to 4 and 2tol on Plover against the field. Af.
ter Ist heat 4 to 1 on Plover; after 2d heat even betting; and after,
3d. high odds against Plover.
We will not venture a description of the running of the four
heats of this stakes, there being the usual mishaps which too fre.
quently attend races with gentlemen riders, such as carrying more
Of less than the proper weight, running on the wrong side of the
post, horses bolting, not riding according to orders, Arc. • however,
we can assure our readers that the sweepstakes pleased the majority
of our spectators, and indeed it ought, for they went at all paces,
from a walk to a trot, s canter, and a gallop t the winner was rode
by the Chaney of the gentlemen riders, Capt. Berkeley, of the
Royal Navy. who generally contrives to be in front at coming
home. Clifton was rode by Sir. Bayley, Bud Bustard by Mr
Davis.

Both these heats were truly and closely run, each horse taking
alternate leads, and waking two capital heats. Arthur rode Con_
aeon and Darling, Ilullyhock.

MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGiT:, FRIDAT, JITLY 22.
On, supplies this week consist of 10,200 sacks of Flour, MOO qrs.
of Wheat, 1,310 qrs. of Barley, and 13,000 qrs. of Oats. Fine
Wheat was scarce, and commanded Monday's prices ; but middling
and inferior were extremely dull, and sales could only be effected
at a reduction in price of 2s. to 3s. per quarter. Barley and Oats
were in but little demand, and prices rather lower. Bence scarce
and dearer; but in Pease no variation in prices. The average
price of Burley being only 31ls. Gil. per quarter, causes it to be very •
doubtful as to the ports opening for this article next month.
