The weather was miserable, an incessant rain, with a strong
wind and a thick mist, having effectually neutralized the attrac-
tions of an indifferent list. In our account sent from the course,
we stated that the race for the Brighton Stakes was given to
Tawney Owl, in consequence of Ratsbane, (who won easy by
three lengths) Ruby, Jemima, and Slang, having gone on the
wrong side of the post, over which, we should have added,
Merganser fell and threw her rider. Lord G. Bentinck's
trainer has objected to the stakes being paid to Mr. Shelley.
