DANIEL OTOURK.E'S DEFEAT, AND ME
PROBABLE STAR MRS FOR TO-MORROW'S
RACES AT YORK.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUR.
SIR --Ono cf the best day's racing ever known et
York came off yesterday on the Knavesnaire. The
Reaper opened the ball by winning the Duadas Stakes,
after a pretty finish will Farmer's Boy and Merry Peal.
The favourite, Radulphus, finished a good fourth.
After PaAly Bird had won the Chesterfield Handicap
very cleverly
by a length, the owner of Puritan, the se-
cond horse, objected to him on the ground of a cross, and
for carrying short weight, averring that as the winner
of the Patahull Handicap at Wolverhampton he was
bound to carry 7lbs extra; which cannot, however, be
the case, as that stake, exclusive of the winner's sub-
scription, amounted only to 1901., whereas it must be
2001. to incur the penalty; so without the cross can be
substantiated—which, by the bye, occurred opposite the
Stand—the objection must fall to the ground. I believe
the case will go before the Stewards to-day. Returning
to the starting point, the race Paddy Bird defeated
Puritan by a length ; the race,in from the
half distanco being entirely confined to this couple.
The Saxon finiahed a very so-so third; Lady Agnes,
Tom Holtboy, and St. Michael were next, and the Prime
Minister brought up the rear in the inglorious position
of last.
The Yorkshire Oaks Adire carried off cleverly enough
by half a length from Evadne; these two having it till
to themselves from beginning to finish. Bird.on_the_
Wing was a bad third, Ammonia a worse fourth, Kate
fifth, and Snowdrop last.
The appearance of the Derby winner for the Ebor St.
Leger frightened all competitors out of the field but the
descendant of Lunacy—Frantic. The race was a curious
affair, Daniel O'R ourke taking the lead at starting, and
in a canter keeping it for half the distance; then Frantic
went to the fore, had al the rest of it to himself, and
won in, what is called in the sporting vernacular, a
common canter by three lengths. This cantering affair,
over two miles of ground,
five minutes and fifty seven seconds. One would think
from such a specimen of they managed to accomplish in
pace that they were out st ex-
ercise. 3 to 1 was betted on Daniel for this race; and
after he had lost it no one would' lay more than 6 to 1
against him for its Doncaster progenitor, evidently bear-
ing in mind the peculiar running of Newminster last
year at York and Doncaster. Mem—l think 6 to 1

Sittingbourre, as was generally expected, carried off
the Convivial Stakes neatly from Nicotine and agood
field of youngsters. g
Tho belling Stakes was a good speculation for the
fund, Needle, the winner, having been entered to be s
ld
for 301, after a somewhat easy victory, found so
o 0 many
admirers, that he was disposed of for 190 soya., thus
realising 160/. for the fund.
The fields fur to-morrow's races aro as follow—
The Filly Sepling Stakes—Comfit, Vaultress
Nicotine, Charity, and filly by Don John, out of Con_
spiracy. NICOTINE and VAULTRESS Will finish first and
second.
Great Yorkshire Stakes—Stockwell, Killarney, net,
Maidstone, Womersley, Evadne or King of Trumps,
Hafed, end perhaps one of Scott's. Augur is a doubtful
starter, and Songstress does not run. I can discover
nothing to beat STOCKWELL; and I think Maidstone is
into the second or third
tolerably certain of running

piece.
Gimcrack Stakes—Lambton, Pitfall, Young Beverlac,
Bell-tinker, Eliza, Sc. Andrew, Miss Emma, and perhaps
Nicotine. It Nicotine should not start for the Fitly
Sapling Stakes she can hardly be beaten for this race;
but as her running is very doubtful, I must look to
LAMBTON and PITFALL for the occupants of the first two
places, and put Young Beverlac third.
The starters for the York Cup I cantot name, for a
very good reason, that I only know of one certain runner
—Barcelona; who, however, I expect will be about win-
ning. Paddy Bird looks the best among the doubtfuls.
I am, Sir, yours, &c.,

The aßrrAivc
hours have been more numerous than have been known
at an Autumu ginhering at York for some years, and,
coupled with the excellence of the programme, warrant
the expectation of a busy and interesting meeting. The
weather is now, and for some days pest, has seen so fine
that, but for a heavy shower or two last night, the course
would have been very hard. A little more rain would
materially improve its condition. In the arrangements
for the conduct of business on the course, we have ne
change to report; we must compliment the management,
however, on the great service they have rendered the
betting fraternity by engaging and opening the Do Grey
Rooms, for their accommodation during the raees. We
have no hesitation in saying, that they are the most spa-
cious and convenient for the purpose in the kingdom.
The extension of the wires of the Electric Telegraph
Company to the Grand Stand, under the superintend
ence of the local manager, Mr. De Chesnel, is a proof of
a determination to keep pace with the times, and supply
the increasing wants of the racing community; the in-
strument has been in full occupation during the whole
afternoon.
We have only time to add to our brief preliminary,
that the course is very fully attended, and that the sport
has been all that could be desired.

place after running about a quarter of a mile. They
went in this order to the gravel road, where Puritan
went to the front, and led to the distance, the lead being
then taken from him by Paddy Bird, who won cieeeely
by a length. The Saxon a bad third. Paddy Bird was
objected to by the owner of Puritan after the race, for
not having carried weight as a winner at Wolverhamp-
ton, and also for having crossed Puritan opposite the
grand stand. The objection had not been gone into
when our parcel was dispatched. The race was run in
