BRIGHTON RACES.--WEDNESDAY.

The Cup Day generally sees the largest attendance here,
and on this occasion there was no falling off from the rule.
To the holiday-makers, unconcerned as to the " bad going,"
the weather was everything that was delightful, and we
never remember so many carriages or such a crowded stand.
The racing was rather poor, though it commenced with a
fine struggle between Durham and Deerfoot for the Pavi-
lion Plate, and which excited an unusual amount of inte-
rest from the even merits of the two, Lord Uxbridge's
horse only won by a head after a very game race.
The Ovingdean Plate brought out a fair field, and re-
sulted in a good race between the first two. Antidote stay-
ing the longest, and winning by half a length. In the Cup,
only Dollar and Little Stag put in an appearance, the Good-
wood winner here meeting his cppenent at 51b worse terms
than last week. They laid odds on Dollar, who proved
himself again a first-rate horse, by having the best of it all
the way, and winning cleverly 'ay a neck. Lord St. Vin-
cent's horse never succeeding in getting up to him.

Tho other events call for no particular comment.

Passing the T.Y.C. post, Little Stag went up to the
Frenchman, and the pair came on abreast into the bottom,
where the young one appeared to have the best of it, but
as they ascended the hill Dollar again drew slightly away,
