'OLVERHAMP TON RACES-WEDNESDAY.

There was nothing specially to mark the proceedings on
the second day, when the weather was fine and the heat
during the afternoon somewhat oppressive. Tho company
on the ground was quite as numerous as on the preceding
day, and the sport, which consisted of seven events,
brought together some good fields. Tho overthrow of
Christmas Carol, by Attache, in the Stamford Biennial
Stakes, was quite an unlooked-for occurrence, and caused
offers of 33 to 1 against him for the Leger; he was, how-
ever, quite unprepared, and those who laid the odds have
yet a chance for their money, as an objection lodged against
Mr. Angell's horse stands over till the York Meeting. The
victory of Cambuscan for the Cleveland Cup was received
with great enthusiasm, his noble owner coming in for a
perfect ovation on the horse returning to the paddock.
The meeting was in every respect a signal success, and
terminated soon after the appointed time, five o'clock. Full
particulars of the running will be found below :
The Shakspere Stakes (Handicap) of 3 sous each, with 35
added, for all ages. Three quarters of a mile.

Betting-6 to 4 agst Viola, 4to 1 agst Gulnara, sto 1
agst Charming Woman, and 6to 1 agst Gannochy. They
were despatched on even terms at the first attempt, but
after going about a couple of hundred yards Charming
Woman took up the running and went on into the straight,
followed by Gannochy ; Gulnara and Viola side by side
next. Nearing the distance Viola came on the outside,
and passing Gannochy made her effort to reach Charming
Woman; but the latter maintained her advantage, and
won cleverly by a length and a half ; the same distance
separated the second and third Gannochy a bad fourth ;
the other two at wide intervals.

Betting-5 to 2on Christmas Carol, 3to 1 agst Attache,
and 10 to 1 offered against The Guide. They cantered at
a miserable pace for the first half mile, Attache going on
clear of the favourite, at whose heels Tho Guido followed.
At the throe-quarter mile post Fordham took his horse up
to the side of Attache, and tho pair entered the straight
side by side, Attache having a triflying advantage, till half
way up the straight, where " The Carol" for a moment got
in difficulties at the distance,
on even terms, but, being
dropped back to Attache's girths, and, despite Fordham's
efforts all the way home, he never could again reach
Attache, who won by half a length. The Guido beaten
three lengths from the second.
Mr. Wadlow lodged an objection against the winner on
the ground of his not being entitled to a 31b. allowance.
The decision of the stewards is postponed till the first day
of the York Meeting.
