IT 0 R T H A N D.-"PITMAN'S PHONO-
►7 GR A PHY forms an exceedingly efficient -probably
the MOST efficient-system of Shorthand that exists."—Sir
Rowland Hill.

We were in great doubt whether the officials of the Lon-
don, Brighton, and South Coast Railway would allow us to
see the first race run, as in defiance of their own announce-
ments that special trains would commence running from
Victoria at 11 30, they coolly declined to start any until a
sufficient number of persons should be collected to fill one,
and it was only on the indignant remonstrance of Count
Batthyany, Lieut.-Col. Dickson, M.P., Mr. Merry, and
other gentlemen, who demanded their money to be returned,
with threats of going off to Waterloo, where the Epsom
traffic has been admirably managed, that the station-master
consented to despatch one. Such an unwarrantable attempt
to break faith with the public deserves notice at our hands.
The Grand Stand Stakes were won easily by the favou-
rite, Welbeck, and Col. Townley's Castle Hill was equally
successful with his horses in the South Western Plate. The
Cup brought acme good horses to the post, old Fairwater,
who looked and went so well in the Craven on Tuesday,
being made the favourite. She was not in the humour to-
day, however, and Lord St. Vincent's new purchase, Little
Stag, repaid him in some measure for his large investment
by winning with the greatest ease in a common canter.
A field of 16 " maidens" sported silk for the Two-year-
old Stakes, for which the French stable furnished the favo-
rite, but not the winner, who turned up in a colt of Mr.
Hodgman's.
The Queen's Guineas were won it her usual hollow style
by Caller-On ; and the Epsom Four-yr-Old Stakes, re-
duced to a match between Jamicoton and Blue Mantle,
were carried off easily by the latter.
There was but little speculation on the Oaks, the French
mare being pretty firm at 3 to 1, with Teneriffe and Tomato
next in demand.
The day was excessively disagreeable, a cold easterly
wind and clouds of dust exerting a depressing influence on

the proceedings.
The Grand Stand Stakes (handicap) of 10 sous each, h ft,

5 to 1 agst Alabama, 10 to 1 each agst Sweet Willie and
Tourist, 100 to 8 agst Wild Rake, and 12 to 1 each agst
Bally Edmond and Vivid.
The favourite got away in front, closely followed by
Double First and Tourist to the bend, where the latter ran
rest his horses, and went on with a clear lead to the mile
post, where he was pulled back into the third place, Turn
of Tuck lying next with Alabama at her quarters, Vivid
and Bally Edmond lying off. Descending the hill Turn of
Luck went to the front and came round the bend into the
straight with a decided lead, having Welbeck, Alabama, and
Tourist as her immediate followers to the stand, where she
was beaten, leaving Welbeck once more in advance, who
won after a close struggle by half a length, three-quarters
of a length between the second and third, and two lengths
separating the third and fourth; Vivid was fifth, and Double
First next. Wild Rake and Bally Edmond trotted in some
distance in their rear. Sweet Willie and Budworth did not
pass the post.

Betting-7 to 4 agst Castle Hill, 100 to 30 (at first 2to 1)
agst Peignoir, 100 to 15 each agst Nebuchadnezzar and
Quarantine.
Oberon was first away, but was headed in a few strides
by Waterloo, who came on with the running to the three
quarters of a mile post, where the pair were headed by
Quarantine, who led into the straight, where she was
joined by the favourite and Nebuchadnezzar, the three run-
ning together to the Stand, where Castle Hill took a slight
lead, and won cleverly by a length, three quarters of a
length separating the second and third; Bangle was fourth,
Oberon fifth, and Peignoir sixth. The others were beaten
off.

Lion, 3 to 1 agst Loafer, and 5 to 1 agst Corinthian Tom.
The latter made play, followed by Powderham, Loafer,
and Coeur do Lion to the distance, where the favourite
came out, and won easily by a neck; a length and a half
between the second and third ; Coeur de Lion a good
fourth. The winner was bought in for 16.5 guineas.

Betting-5 to 4 agst Fairwater, 4to 1 agst Little Stag, 6
to 1 agst The Clown, and 100 to 15 agst Carolina.
The start was delayed some short time through Caroline
bolting. When they got away Little Stag jumped away
with a clear lead, followed by Iphigenia, Tippler, and Gran-
bore, but the two latter were headed in a few strides by
Fairwater, who came on in attendance upon Lord St. Vin-
cent's colt, wiio as they descended the hill held a lead of
half-a-dozen lengths, Fairwater being as far in advance of
Granboro, Tippler, and The Clown. At the road the race
was virtually over, as Little Stag increased his lead at every
stride, and won with hands down by 20 lengths. The
Clown and Granboro, who ran past the favourite, who was
pulling up at the stand, finished second and third, Caroline
was fourth, and Fairwater next. Tippler, who was beaten
early in the race, and Iphigenia walked in, but did not pass
the post.

Bunch and Victorious, 7 to 1 agst Anti-Macassar, 10 to 1
each eget Filbert and Verderer, and 12 to 1 agst Wings of
the Wind.
Several failures were occasioned by Bunch, Anti-Ma

maser ana Silverlocks breaking away. The flag was le
length lowered to a scrambling start. Le Bearnais on the
upper ground, in compl39 with Volatile, made play to the
road, where they were heeled by Victorious and Anti-
Macassar, who came O!f together, with a slight lead of the
Frenchman and Silverlocks, art latter iAng joined shortly
after by Bunch; who got badly off, At the Stand the latter
was beaten, leaving the issue with the four: Mr. Hodg-
man's colt retained his advantage to the end, and won
cleverly by a length, Anti-Macassar defeating Le Bearnais
by a neck for second, the latter finishing a length and a half
in advance of silverlocks; Bunch was fifth, close up
; Fil-
bert sixth, Volatile seventh, and Verderer and Rialto next
—the last three were Wings of the Wind, Fravolina, and

Yesterday evening the Duke of Buccleuch, as President
of this society, with Sir Wentworth Dilke, Mr John Kelk,
and others of the Vice-Presidents, held a owe) sazione in
the conservatory of the gardens, to which the fellows of the
society were invited, and a large number of distinguished
visitors. The assembly was to have been honoured with
the presence of several members of the late 'Loyal family of
France, but at the last moment an apology was received ex-
pressing their regret that they were unavoidably compelled
to decline the invitation. All the arrangements connected
with the fete were perfect. It was, as we have said, held
in the great conservatory, which was lighted brilliantly
with gas for the occasion. The entrance for visitors was in
the Albert-road, under the new orchard houses which have
recently been erected, and which, instead of being filled with
flowers, are entirely occupied with dwarf fruit trees of every
kind, and en the tiny boughs of which the fruit, though
green, already hang in heavy bunches. From these the
visitors passed along the arcades, which were sufficiently
lighted to show with good effect little groups of statues and
parterres of ferns and flowering rhododendrons that were
ranged in beds along the walks with charming taste. The
arcade led at once into the conservatory, which was lighted
up in a way that displayed the plants and details of its
architecture to surpassing advantage. As a mere building,
there are few more beautiful conservatories in England than
that of the Horticultural Society, and the skill and care of
Mr Eyles keeps it stocked with plants in such perfection as
to leave it no rival in this particular, save, perhaps, what is
termed the tropical end of the Crystal Palace.
Last night all the beds of flowers in the centre were
removed, and the floor covered with a white canvass as if
for dancing, while the side parterres were filled in with
flowering shrubs in such fullness of bloom that the eye
was almost wearied with the glow and variety of their
brilliant tints: Arcund the cornice, if we may so term
it, of the interior, above the slender columns and before
the springing of the curved group, ran a row of minute gas
jets, each a small point of fire in its size, but in the aggre-
gate sufficient to light every portion of the edifice with a
glare beyond that of the noonday sun. The galleries were
carpeted and furnished with chairs, and everywhere was
displayed all that was rare and nuvel in shrubs or flowers.
One stand in particular, in the centre of the conservatory,
was covered with a superb collection of rare plants, exqui-
site alike in their foliage and bloom, and such in fact as are
seldom seen even at the greatest flower shows. The Duke
of Buccleucb, with the vice-presidents, were in waiting to
receive their guests at 9 o'clock, and from that hour until
near 11 the arrivals were incessant, The conservatory and
its galleries and arcades were then quite thronged, and any-
thing more beautiful than the interior then presented it
would be difficult to imagine. Seen from the galleries, the
ladies' toilettes were almost as brilliant as the flowers which
rose everywhere around them, and only the bright green nf
the long slender twining creepers around all the columns o
the building remained to form the contrast, and as it were
refresh the eye. It was intended that the outer gardens
should have been thrown open to visitors as well, bat the
extreme coldness of the night, to say nothing of the dark-
ness of the gardens themselves, deterred any person ven-
turing beyond the precincts of the conservatory. Another
conversazione is to be given during the present season, to
which we are sure all who were present at the exquisite
scene of last night will look forward with pleasant expeeta-
