The split to-day was limited to four races, and the
only if terestiag feature was the meeting of Acrobat and
Virago to contend for the Port Stakes. Very quickly
after starting, however, Virago showed that Acrobat's
efforts were all in vain—he was at last beaten in a canter
by ten lengths.
The first racy was at one, the last at half-past two, and
thus ended the dulle,,t and slowest Craven Meeting
which that venerable authority, the "oldest inhabitant "
of the town, ever remembered to have seen.

Soon after half-past three most of the visitors left by
special train, and the journey to London was very corn-
fortably performed in about two hours and a half,
