CHESTER RACES.—Txtrnsmaar.Nl -&-;
The settling on the great race of yesterday went on very
smoothly at the rooms during the morning, after which
some betting took place on the Dee Stakes and the Derby.
The weather was beautiful, the attendance on the course
quite equal to that usually seen on the third day, and six
races were run, the finest of all being the Marquis of West-
minster's Plato, which ended in a dead heat. A dispute
arose after the Dee Stakes, which were given to Costa, who
was first past the post. The remaining races contained but
little interest, and the last was run before six o'clock.
The Dee Stand Cup, of 50 soya, added to a handicap
sweepstakes of 5 sous each. Winners extra. Grosvenor
