CHESTER RACES—THULSDAY.
The weather was again unfavourable, heavy rain falling
during the early portion of the afternoon, The card com-
menced the Dee Stakes and the Marquis of Westminster's
Plate as the special items, the non-appearance of the Derby
favourite, Blair Athol, detracting considerably from the in-
terest taken in the Dee Stakes. Mr, Hughes did not win
the large stake reported on the flush of victory, his
o yearling's" success in the Chester Cup crediting him
with some sixteen thousand pounds ; Whilst Mr J. B.
Morris, and the usual followers of the Epsom stable, threw
in for large stakes. A quarter of an hour prior to the run-
ning of the Dee Stakes the weather took up and remained
fine and warm. The Dee Stand Cap, appointed for 1.45,
,
was the first race, and broughtiout three of the four en-
tered; Lord. 13 ateman who started twc, declared to win
