ROW'S RACES AT YORK.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE BUIV.

Sin,—The fields for this, as wc,ll as for the other days,

ticular. The following lists of starters have been made
up from the latest information received this morning.
The Prince of Wales's Stakes—Catspaw, S. Andrew,
The Queen, Auld Acquaintance, Wings of a Dove, Miss
Norton colt, Young ffeverlac, Miss Emma, Eliza, and
William Rufus.

For the Brawham Park Stakes, at the tinae of writing
nothing had arrived to run; it was expected, hewever,
that Black Audrey would be there in the course of the
day to walk over, should cone of the others put in an
appearance.

The
Eglioton Stakes—High-Sheriff, Lumley, Auchin-
Ink, Grapeshot, and perhaps two or throe others, in-
cluding Mdidatone and Evadne. SIGH-SHERIFF and
GnAPESIIOT it is expected will occupy the leading posi-
tions.

Colt Sapling Stakes—Viaclor p Youtbfal Da, anti.
.

County Plate—The Italian, Vaultress, Lambton or
Exact, Conrad, Primo Minis:or, and perhaps Voltigeur.
In the absence of the last-named, who, if a starter, ought,
not to be beaten, PRIME MINISTER is my selection.

MONTAGUE to win, with Haricot, Merry Bird, and Sir
Rowland Trencharci well up. Saekbut will run forward,
and perchance might get a place.—l am, Sir, &c.

CRICKET.
KENT v. ENGLAND.

With this return match the grand cricket week com-
menced at Canterbury on Monday, there being an im-
mense assemblage of visitors from London, Dover, Rams-
gate, Marc:rate, Herne Bay, and indeed from all other
parts of Ont. Nearly the whole of the leading families
of the county were present. During the dinner hour
the band of the Rifles played the fashionable music of
the day, the company promenading along the upper aide
of the ground, which thus presented a very brilliant ap-
pearance.
Kent went in first, and having scored 112, England
entered upon their innings. At the conclusion of the
day the score stood as follows:

ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON REGATTA.
COWES, TUESDAY EVENING. The Royal Yacht
Squadron, as the parent institution of the kingdom, has
ever maintained a pro.emieent position and importance
over the other more recent but flourishing branches, and
the opening of the present regatta gives an earnest that,
notwithstanding the closeness of one event upon an-
other, it will prove as brilliant a meeting as on any
former occasion. The beautiful waters of th Solent are
now thickly dotted with the mimic fleet riding at
anchor, and the display of their distinguishing colours,
with the dressing of many of them in their holiday
bunting, gives au animation to the scene, which,
coupled with the beauty cf the surrounding country,
it would be difficult to equal in any other part of
England. The regatta has also received additional im-
portance from the proximity to the royal residence of
Osborne, being under the immediate patronage of her
Most Gracious Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince
Albert, who almost invariably honour it with their
presence. Whether the present regatta will be any
exception to the general rule will have to be seen, but
there appears to be a very general opinion hero that her
Majesty will return to Osborne House from her marine
excursion in time sufficient to see the contest for Prince
Albert's Cup, if not for that of her own royal gift. The
weather was most auspicious, and presented a singu-
larly-marked contrast to that of yesterday, for in the
place of a darkened sky and a thick drizzling rain we
had a fine and clear atmosphere, with a warm and bril-
liant sunshine, with just sufficient wind to make a sail-
ing-match interesting. The town is now very full of
company, and the beach was crowded at different parts
. of the day with a great number of fashionables, who ap-
peared highly to relish the display of sailing skill pro-
vided for their amusement.
The yachts at present in the Solent and the Medina
are very numerous, but even the present large number
would have been considerably increased but for the bois-
terous gales experienced of late, which has prevented
many of them from coming up from the westward and
other ports. It was stated that the Coquette, on het
way from Plymouth to this place, had sunk, but this
rumour has turned out, happily, to be without founda-
tion, as information has lately been received that, being
overtaken by a storm, she put into Weymouth, and has
escaped with but slight damage.
Amongst the fleet of yachts now present are :—The
Xarifa, the Earl of Wilton (Commodore of the Royal
Pearl,
Yacht Squadron); the Capricorn, C. R. M. Talbot,
