STOCKBRIDGE RACES-THURSDAY.

The much-wanted rain rather damped the first day of
Stockbridge races, however beneficial it was in other re-
spects. There was a very close thing in the Andover
Stakes between Beadle and Columbia, Mr. W. BeviNe just
_ _

managing to land the former by a head. The Stockbridge
Cup promised to be an interesting race froin the presence of
•ne or two horses with a fine turn of speed. They made
the Tartar the favourite, but he, in company with' Birch
Broom, showed temper at the poSt and ran unkindly
throughout. The struggle was between Attache,-Attritc-
lion, and Scarborough, who finished a fine race with only
necks between them, Attach 6 having a little the best of it
from the Stand, and winning rather cleverly. The 6th
Biennial brought out a fair field ; among them Siberia,

Sydmonton, and Farewell, the latter the favourite at start-
ing, though Sydmonton had the call at the opening. It
was a very hollow affair, Sydmonton taking the lead at a
clipping pace, and maintaining it to the end. Farewell
soon found the ground did not suit him, and the wiener
had all his horses in trouble before reaching the enclosure.

The other racing calls for no particular notice. A great
damp was flung over the' proceedings by the rain, and the
racing seemed to go off flatly.
Tho Andover Stakes (handicap) of 5 sovs each, with 100

Columbia jumped away with a clear lead of Beadle, in
whose rear followed the favourite, Lord Douglas, and Idle
Girl, Overstone being last. They ran in these positions until
they entered the dip, where Columbia in company with
B eadle, slipped their horses and finished the race home,
the former winning after a slashing finish by a head.
Overstone, who ran past his horses at the enclosure, was a
bad third. The others were pulled up some lengths from
the chair close together.

running was then taken up by Filbert, who held a
clear lead to half-way in the rails, when he was joined by

point the three ran nearly abreast to the stand, when Imo-
gene quitted her horses and won easily by three-quarters

Siberia was the first away at the second attempt, but was
almost immediately after headed by Sydmonton, who made
play at a strong pace, Siberia going on second, and close in
her rear were Audax and his stable companion Swift, a
length only separating them from Gomera, Tilt, and Fare-
well, who ran nearly abreast, the rear being brought up by
the Sortie colt, Attach 6, and Nukuheva. As they skirted
the kill side opposite the stand, the leader somewhat im-
proved his position, and as they made the turn for the
bushes hill Siberia gave way to Gomera, who followed
Lord Portsmouth's colt, Audax still lying third, Siberia
fourth, and Farewell fifth on their left, and as they reached
its brow Attach 6 was seen on the inside, having gradually
made up his lee way. On reaching the rails Gomera and
Siberia were out of it, followed in a few strides further by
Farewell, leaving the issue with Sydmonton, Audax,
and Attach 6 ; the two latter, however, never had a chance
of reaching the leader, who landed the popular colours of
his noble owner in a canter by three lengths, Audax de-
feated Atta,chd by a length for second, Siberia fourth, Swift
fifth, Farewell sixth, who headed a lot of pulling up horses,
