HISTORY OF THE LANDED GENTRY,

QT. JOHN DEL REY MINING COMPANY.
Li The Twenty-fifth ANN UAL GENERAL MEETI Gof the
Proprietors of the St John Del Rey Alining Company will be held
at the Company's Office, No. 8. Tokenhouse-yard, on FRIDAY, the

JOLiN HOCKIN, Secretary.
8, Toltenhouse-yard, May 25, 1855.

Notwithstanding tl o drawbacks arising from the general
depression, the attendance on Epsom Downs was larger to-
day than might have been expected, though not equal to what
we have seen at many past Oaks. The Grand Stand enclosure
was thronged with sporting professionals and a tolerably
numerous array of ladies.
Many of the aristocratic patrons of the turf were, however,
missing from the scene. Seldom have we beheld so few pri-
vate and public carriages on the road, although the day was
as tempting as could be desired.
THE Oars, the great feature of the day, afforded ample
scope for speculation. Nettle bad advanced in favour, and
she maintained a strong position in the betting up to the very
moment of starting: Tne confident hopes of her backers were,
however, destroyed by an unfortunate accident, particulars
of which will be found in the subjoined description of the
race.

To be completed in a single volume (divided into 4 Parts), uniform
with the Peerage and Baro:etage, will be ready High the Magazine..
June 1, price 10s. 6d.: and those wt'o deztre early copies are requested
to send their orders to their booksellers.

gene-

could contribute to the accommodation of the public or the
convenience of owners of horses was overlooked, while regu-

efficient aid of a body of the metropolitan police.
