A showery morning was succeeded by a fine, though
very windy and unpleasant afternoon. The betting en-
closufe was largely patronised, principally, however, by
provincial bookmakers, most of the London division having
left Nottingham on Wednesday night to be present at
West Drayton. The Stand was occupied by large parties
from the Marquis of Hastings' seat at Donnington, and
from Lord Chesterfield's at Bretby Park, both noblemen
being present. The racing was much better than antici-
pated, and the supplementary meeting to Nottingham may
be pronounced a great success. Some extraordinary
changes occurred in the betting on the Liverpool Steeple-
chase, which, as well as a complete return of the day's
proceedings, will be found appended:—
The Harrington Stakes of 50 soya, added to a Sweepstakes
of 5 soya each, for two-yr-olds ; colts, Bst 101 b ; fillies
and geldings, Bst 71b; winners 51b extra. Straight half-

The following also ran:—Charon, Cinder, Carnizetto,
and Cornaline.

Betting--11 to 8 agst the Yooick's dam filly, sto 2 agst
Sweet Ann, 8 to 1 agst Foreign Stamp.
Sweet Ann jumped off first, having at her quarters Fo-
reign Stamp and Carnizette, the others close up, to the dis-
tance, where Carnizette dropped into the rear, and the
Yooick's dam filly came up to Sweet Ann, but could never
head her, and was ,74verly_beaten by a neck ; three
parts of a length divided the second and third ; Charon a
bad fourth, Cornaline fifth, Cinder sixth, and Carnizette
last.

the race.

Betting-5 to 1 agst Balder, 6to 1 agst Slyfox Bto 1
agst West End, 10 to 12 agst T. P. Cooke, 10 to 1 each
agst Bridegroom and Diamond, 20 to 1 (at first 5 to 1) agst
L'Africain.

The latter made play, followed past the Stand the first
time by Diamond and Oscar, and at the head of the suc-
ceeding lots, in close order, were Merrimac and Balder,
the rear animal being King of Hearts, who was beaten
off, pulled up, and walked in to the enclosure after going
two miles. After proceeding about a mile L'Africain took
a commanding lead, and Merrimac at the mile post ran•up
alongside Diamond, but quickly fell back to Oscar and
Balder, who were next in pursuit of the French pair.
The only alteration in the next half mile was with the
middle lot, several of whorn changed places, but no ma-
terial change occurred until they had gono nearly two
miles, when L'Africain refused, and Balder was left in
front. At the water pump, opposite the Stand, Lord Co-
ventry's horse was joined by Merrimac and Slyfox, and
the brook was simultaneously charged by the three.
The first to alight, however, was Slyfox, who carried on
the running two lengths ahead of Balder, who was at a
similar distance in front of Merrimac. Behind the trio
came L'Africain, Bridegroom, T. P. Cooke, and Oscar,
separated at long intervals until they were within three-
quarters of a mile from home, when L'Africain resumed
the lead, but, ascending the hill, he went the
wrong course, and was pulled up. Merrimac then took up
the running, Balder following close in his wake, but never
got within a length of Merrimac, who won by two lengths,
Bridegroom was a bad third, Diamond fourth, and Slyfox
fifth, these being the only horses which passed the post.
The Derby Hunt Steeplechase of 40 sovs, added to a Sweep-
stakes of 8 soya each, over about three miles, produced
the following runners :

But it was alleged they all went the wrong course, and the

subsequently claimed by the owner of Edwin.

WEST DRAYTON RACES-THURSDAY.

Although the elements, which seemed to combine during
the present season to put an effective stop to sport, were
not in operation to-day, still at one time this morning, and
during the early part of the afternoon, it looked as if sport
would be absolutely spoiled for intending visitors to West
Drayton. The weather, however, cleared up during the
afternoon, and some gdod sport was afforded those who
ventured to the racecourse. Six flat races and a hurdle
race stood for decision, and although clashing with the
Derby and the weather unfavourable there was a fair ga-
thering of spectators. Mr. Ten Brood; who was on the
Stewards' Stand, had several horses engaged, and won two
of the events. The Trial Stakes, set for 1.15, was won by
Sister Mary, the favourite, Trapeze, only gaining the
honours of fourth place. The large field of 14 contested
the Handicap Plate, which was carried off by Imogene,

Race, which ended in favour of Confidence, concluded the
sport shortly after five o'clock, full particulars of which
are appended.
The Trial Stakes of 5 sovs each, with 30 soya added, for
three-yr-olds and upwards ; certain penalties and allow-
ances ; the winner to be sold for 300 sovs or to carry 71b
