BIBURY CLUB RACES—WEDNESDAY
The rain which descended in, torrents the evening pre-
vious gave promise of as soaking a wet day as was experi-
enced on the second day at this meeting last year. The
sun, however, shone forth most gloriously this morning,
and the weather continued beautifully fine during the atter -
noon. The different alterations that have been made to the
stands and enclosure met with very general satisfaction,
and the running ground was in capital order. The first race
produced a field of six starters, and whey the betting first
commenced Liston was made slightly the favourite, but
just before the start was effected the odds were in favour of

Tippler, who won, after a fine race with Tornado, by a
head. For the Champagne Stakes Gto 4 was at first laid
on Master Richard, but the betting closed at 6 to 4 each
agst Hengist and Master Richard, the former winning
easily by a length. The Handicap Sweepstakes resulted in
favour of Nathalie, after a fine race with the Olitipa filly.
The winner was not backed for any amount of money, as
much as Bto 1 being laid against her. For the Selling
Sweepstakes, which was reduced to a match, Drumstick was

made the favourite, and justified the confidence placed in

him by winning in a canter. He was put up to auction
after the race and realised 70 guineas. For the Bibury
Stakes Rubicon was made first favourite, but he was beaten

in a canter by the Marquis of Hastings' horse Tippler. For

the Plate of 50 sovs six horses contested, and Confidence
was most fancied, and after a brilliant finish won by half a
length. Seventeen horses started for the Two-yr-Olds

Stake, the Doctor being installed first favourite. After a

most magnificent race-King George won, Ccour de Lion
being second. Full details of the running will be found

below.
