CATTERICK BRIDGE RACES.—FRIDA Y.
The Hornby Handicap of 5 SOW each, with 25 adde d. One

CROXTON PARK RA.CES—FetenKr.
Croxton Park is and always will be a meeting per se. To
the traditions of the past it unites the modern phase of
racing, and brings together an old and a new geneastion in
the Billesdon Coplow, and the Farmers' Stakes, the wa-
tham Plate, and the Granby Handicap. In some 'Tepees
the Goodwood of the midland counties in its brilliant may
of aristocratic names and show of beauty and fashion,tt
presents a spectacle in many ways free from the taint of
other racecourses, and shows us a turf gathering under its
most attractive form. This was especially the case this
year. In addition to the peculiar attractions of Croxton,
the great interest excited by the National Hunt meeting
near Melton the next day helped to bring together as large
and distinguished an assembly as probably ever was known
here. The stand presented a brilliant show of pretty faces
and tasteful toilettes, and the list of company embraced the
well-known names of the aristocratic frequenters of Crox-
ton, and to enumerate which would be equivalent to tran-
scribing pages from "Lodge" and " Burke." The weather
unfortunately interfered much with the enjoyment of the
day, wind and showers being prevalent. A long afternoon's
sport commenced with
The Farmers' Plate of 5D soya, 20 to the second, and 5 to
the third, for horses not thorough bred, the property of
