This being the day fur the Derby Stakes, 38
linear, were entered, which caused much specu-
lation in the sporting world. '1 he 14-neatest preps-
rations were made ma the grouud, ill expectation
of a numerous company ; marquees were erected
around, and E. 0. cod Faro tattles were placed in
different parts of the ground. At half past
seven in the morning the roads from London and its
environs, Ryegate, and the surrounding country,
a ere covered with carriages of every description,
and a numerous assemblage of horsemen. The
day being very fine, a great amebae of lathes en-
livened the scene. At eleven o'clock the race-
ground assumed a variegated and beautiful iip-
pearancis. Those that ad arrived first stationed
themselves round the ropes. The horses were taken
from the carriages, and the ladies got upon the top
of them, and braved the scorching rays of the sun,
At one a dock the ground was quite crowded, and
many plated their equipages upon an eleentiou at
the hack of the witutireg-post. Others got into a
suedl valley, laid the cloth on the verdaut lawn,
an.i partonk of a cold collation. Ten alaousand
persons were present, the *thole funning ono of the
t lavutiful spectacle% ever witnessed. A greater
nu;ober of elegant equipages has not been wit-
nes,int at Epsom for unsay years. At two o'clock
a great concourse of person. repaired to view the
horses, when many, who had, on the preceding
day, backed Lord (ansvc soles Vmedyke„ then
betted 500 to •20 against him, and others 7to 4.
The general betting was very dull. At half -past
two the 101 l rang for saddling, when those earn-
ages, winch had placed themselves in the valley,
repaired to the brow of the hill and formed a hue.
Amongst theiu we noticed the Earl of I)aarty's
chariot, drawn by four horses, the postilions
dressed in bluejackets, with broad silver lace down
the hack, jockey cap%' and silver tassels; the Coun-
tess of Dcaav and Ludy STAELET sat inside ; the
Earl of Lease and Lord STARLET sat on the box.
Earl Strive was on the ground; his Lordshi;) had
an elegant yellow harouchs, with four bright bays,
driven by Air Joaw LADE. Tile Marvhtoueis of
Sattsacite, Cuuutess of SEFTON, LiteliCS LADE
std CECIL, were in the barouchr. Mr. WA 1411
Puerta displayed superior elegance ; he pas in his
barouche and four, with a company of Ladies ; the
postilions had striped jackets, similar to those ge-
nerally •vorei by ins Royal Highness the Prince et
WA L'Es'i postilions; he had al.° two out-riders in
white liveries. The Marquis of linBTLrr, C ,un-
teas of CaltidASIPTOB, anal Lord and Lady SOMER-
VILLE, were also in barouclaes and four, with out-
riders. Earls YARMOUTH and BARRY hoar. sported
elegant conicles. Mr. LANGFORD BROOKE and
party were in a barnuchc end four, with out-riders.
Lord G. Cave N otsit, Lord FO LEY, and Lord SAY-
Ana-Sets, displayed elevsitt carriages.
Only nine homes out of thirty-eight ran for the
Derby Stakes, which were won by Sir H. Wit-
t., susos's c. Pan, by a length. A very fits. race.
Pam only made the push a itbia two hundred yards
of the winning-post, at which time the odds were in
favour of the Duke of (laairlron's Vandyke. which
came in second. As soon as this interesting race
was over, the Countess of DSRMY and Lady STAR-
LET left the ground, and returne.l to town. The
Noble Earl went to the Oakes, and entertained a
large party of Nobility, at dinner,
Thesol. Plate was ran for at four o'clock ; during
which interval every carriage displayed a profusion
of provisions ; being well stocked with roasted lbw Is,
giblet pies, beef, ham. and lamb; the whole pre-
senting an elegant tall of fare. with a good supply of
wine. As soon as the bell rang for sadshing, the
whole was cleared, as if I nmuagic, and the Ladies re-
mounted the dickeys. the third heat was over at
hdf past five, when the company left the ground.
Wc have not heard of ally accident.
