YORK RACES-AUGUST MEETING.

(BY EXPRESS.)

irtasT DAY-MONDAY.

The above great races commenced this day, and with
every prospect of affording greater sport than was anted,
pa:ed. For some time past the extreme heat of the weather
excited apprehensiont that the course would be too dry sin 4
parched up for the sport, and this occasioned a detertui-
.nation on the part of many gentlemen not to run their
horses. This unfavourable impression remained in full
'force till !he Middle of last week, when not above six or
eight horst s had arrived, but the rain which fell afterwards
completely changed, not only the cdndition of the grourwl,
but the resolutions Of the owners of the horses named, for
before Sunday upwards of sixty horses hail arrived, and
the promises which the entries held out of fine sport, looked
fair to be realized.
On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and up to the pro.
sent moment, arrivals have been Continually taking place,
and the city is filled to an overflow : every house capable
of Ewing turne.l into a lodging..house is full, the inns has.
ing been occupied by the early arrivals ; those who byte
yet to come, will have but a sorry chance of ammo.
elation.
On Sunday there was a great assemblage of the highs
sporting Characters on the Course to witness the horses taw
their exercises, and some bettingon the different stakes fay
which 111,..y are to contend, ensiled ; but on the Doncaster
St. Leger little was done, for the knowing ones are lying
by till such of the favourites for that great stakes that are
'to come out here, have been tfied. On Sunday evening
and Monday morning, however, some brisk betting toot
place, and Cleveland &reunited considetably ; at first they
would take 11 and 12 to 1 against him,, but he afterwards
went back to 16 to 1 ; still he was backed sip
tlora at 6 to 6, at which odds it will bd rest
