THE SUN', LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING. MAY 14, 1863.

vening the meeting for the consideration of a bill to
authorise arrangements between the London, Til-
bury, and Southend Railway Company and the
lessees of the undertaking and the Eastern Counties
and the London and Blackwall Railway Company,
with reference to the lease and working of the
London, Tilbury, and Southend Railway.
The CHAIRMAN explained that the bill was per-
missive. The present agreement with the lessees
had 13 years to run, and nothing could be done to
alter the present position of parties without the
sanction of Parliament and the assent of these con-
cerned ; or at least of a certain majority of them
represented at a meeting to be specially convened
for the purpose. He thought they should allow the
bill to pass, in order that they might know what
the lessees proposed to do, because they could adopt
any proposition that might be to their advantage,
or reject if injurious to them. He concluded by
moving a formal resolution approving the bill.
Mr. NPNAUGIITEN seconded the motion.
The Solicitor then read the preamble and clauses
of the bill.

A discussion ensued, in which Mr. G. SMITH
and other shareholders took part ; in the course of
which it was contended that the bill should not be
sanctioned, lest it should injuriously affect the inte-
rests of the Blackwall Company. They did not
understand the object of it, and thought it should
be rejected.

The CHAIRMAN said it would be the duty of the
directors to promote the interests of the share-
holders, and they had nothing to fear in giving
their assent.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BATH AND SOMERSET COUNTY RACES.
WEDNESDAY.

The weather to-day, although finer than yesterday, had
still a very unsettled appearance, which scented to have a
prejudicial effect on the general attendance. The pleasure-
seeking portion of the public were not in such strong force
as is usual at this popalar meeting. The betting at the
Castle Hotel at night was chiefly remarkable for a disposi-
tion to back Macaroni against Lord Clifden, 1,2, 3 for the
Derby, and the partiality evinced for Donnybrook in pre-
ference to his stable companion, National Guard. Among
the extreme outsiders Baldwin, reported as good as Spencer,
was in most demand, being backed in one quarter to win
several thousands. At the close 1,000 to 200 was taken
about Lord Clifden, and offered against Macaroni. Re-
specting the Oaks, 6 to 4 was offered against Lord Stam-
ford's lot, and many inquiries made after Miss Armstrong,
who was backed for some money at 10 to 1. The stewards
having left Chester prior to the complaint of the starter
being made against several jockeys riding in the last race
of the meeting, it was adjudicated here, and the reFult
was the following notice being posted outside the weigh-
ing-room :--

" Chester, 1863.
" The starter reported J. Grimshaw, Barlow, Maidment,
Goodall, and H. Sopp for disobeying his orders. I. Grim-
shaw and Barlow wore suspended until the Monday after
Ascot; H. Sopp was reprimanded and cautioned against a
repetition of the offence, this being his first offence. The
sentence against Maidment and Goodall was deferred until
Tuesday in the Epsom week, in order that further in-
quiries be made as to previous behaviour.

Baron of Avon, making use of his weight, jumped away
in front, and came on with a decided lead, followed by War-
minster, Oak Apple, and the favourite, the others, who
were headed by Butterfly, lying a length in their rear, in
which position they ran past the Stand; but on rounding the
upper turn the Baron considerably increased his lead, and in
so doing got the better of Sopp, and ran out, leaving the
favourite with a clear lead, Warminster going on second,
Oak Apple third, with Butterfly, Princess Vocqsal, and
Mily lying in their wake, Baron of Avon, who was speedily
righted, followed next. No alteration in these positions
took place until they reached the straight, when Warmin-
ster was beaten, and his place was taken by Butterfly
(Princess Vocqsal at the same time, through her saddle
slipping, getting rid of her rider, who fortunately escaped
without injury), who followed the leaders into the distance,
where they drew away and finished the race home, Bally
Edmond winning with consummate ease by a length and a
half. Butterfly was a bad third, Portland was fourth, and
Warminster fifth ; Mountain Doe and Mily, nearly abreast,

centre of the course and Crytheia on the extreme right. At

several times, which allowed the favourite to get up, who in
