lIIPP OD ROAIE RACES.—SATURDAY.
The recond day of the July Meeting took place on Saturday, and
pasted off without any of the objections complained of on WtdnPs-
day. The sport was abundant, the weather glorious, and the ar-
rangements of the most satisfactory description. We must espe-
cially notice the rapirlity with which the heats were run—six were
decided before five o'clock, and the whole before another hour had
elapsed ; this is as it should be, and will be appreciated. The at-
tendance, independent of the rabble, who obtained admission at the
free gate, was highly respectable, both in number and' fa.hion, and
included, besides many others of distinction, Count d'Orsay and
Lord Chesterfield (the Stewards); Duke d'Ossima, Duke of Beau-
fort, Count Danniskiold, Count Tolstoy, Count Bathiany, Sir If.
Peyton, Hon. A. Villiers, Hon. C. Forrester, Baron Austen,
Hon. General Upton; Colonel Copland, Captain Gardnor, Mr.
Kingston, &c.

'Alt the sport was good may be collected from the following re-
;urns :
