The First Year of the Fifth Triennial Produce Stakes.

T.Y. C.
Filly by Cotherstone—Delaine
I walked over
Good progress was made in the settling, which was
commenced in the morning. Mr. Howard, the owner
(if Scythian, wins a large sum exclusive of the stakes,
Mr. Parr, the owner of the second horse. stood to win
nearly 30,0001. to a mere nothing. His friends Were
also well on. The Noisy party were actuated by the
strongest confidence up to the very last moment, but the
recent signal defeat of their favourite strikinvly exempli-
fied the truth of the old adage about the "cup and the
lip." In a word, it was not their day of days.
Of the race itself, it may justly be said that the Chester.
Cup was never more honourably contested.
The sport to-day was marked by only one ireident of
prospective importance ; the signal defeat of Corcehus
and Claret for the Dee Stakes. After the race 1,000 to
5 was taken about Lord Alfred, and 1,000 to 10 about
Noisy for the rerby. 40 to 1 was betted against the
`• Dee Runners."

The weather was very cold and wet, and the attend-
ance of general company was consequently scanty.
Several turfites returned to London by the expr-ss train,
and were not a little surprised on passing Nuneat.n to
find thetnselves'in the midst of a somswhat heavy snow
storm. The country, in fact, presented a most wintry
appearance, and was thickly covered with snow.
