3to 1 eget Oulston. (taken and offd).
sto 1 agst Lord of the Isles (taken freely).
A more brilliant and important meeting was never
celebrated on the far-famed Knavesmire. The running
was most interesting, and the result of certain races has
effected a complete change in the St. Leger betting. The
proceedings were conducted with the most praiseworthy
punctuality and efficiency.
The various arrangements were most extensive, and
were very satisfactorily carried out under the superinten-
dents* of Mr. W. North. Mr. Manning officiated at the
scales ; Mr. Richard Johnson, of York, was the judge ;
and Mr. Hibburd the starter ; and each discharged his
duties with his customary ability.
The weather was dull and threatening, but on the
whole favourable.
They who hurried off the course before the lass race,
in order to catch the 4.10 p.m. Great Northern express,
gained little by their motion, for upwards of half-an-
hour's delay occurred before the train moved out of the
station. On arriving at King's-cross further delay was
most annoyingly occasioned, owing to some misunder-
standing about the return tickets. The extra demand
was in the majority of cases stoutly refused, and much
wrangling ensued. The train was upwards of an hour
behind time.

Very little done, in consequence of nearly all the sub-
acril,era being at York.
