SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

EPSOM RACES-THURSDAY.

The course presented all the well-known features this
morning of the day after the Derby—the hill deserted, the
mass of humanity who yesterday covered the ground from
the Paddock to Tattenham-corner gone, and a general flat-
ness pervading everything and everybody—the reaction
after the excitement of the day before, were the character-
istics of the scene.

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 Hilt was eq tally
successful with his horses in the Sou hWestern 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
1)7 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.
Tile Queen's Guineas were won it her usual hollow style
by Caller-Ou ; and the Epsom Four-yr-Old Stakes, re-
duced to a match between Jarnicoton 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,

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
past 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 Bedworth did not
pass the post.

Oberon was first away, but was headed in a few str'des
by Waterloo, who came on with the running to th• 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 N•buchndnezzar, the three run-
ning together to the Stand, where Castle Bill took a slight
lead, and won cleverly by a length, three quarters of a
length separating the st,cond and third; L'an vie was fourth,
Oberon filth, and Peignoir sixth. Tne others were beaten
off.

Betting--7 to 4 agst Powderham, 2to 1 agst Coeur de
Lion, 3 to 1 agst Loafer, and 5 to 1 agst Corinthian Tom.
The latter made play, followed by Powderham, Loafer,
and Ccour de 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; Cmur de Lion a good
fourth. The winner was bought in for 165 guineas.

Tho 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-
boro, but the two latter were headed in a few strides by.
Fairwater, who came on in attendance upon Lord St. Vin-
cent's colt, who 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.
