WOLVERHAMPTON 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. . The 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. Tho
victory of Cambusean 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 :

Betting-6 to 4 agst Viola, 4 to 1 agst Gulnara, 5 to 1
agst Charming Woman, and 6 to 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 wont on into the straight,
followed by Gannoclay ; 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 fthirth ;
the other two at wide intervals.

Betting-5 to 2 on Christmas Carol, 3 to 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 The Guide followed.
At tho three-quarter mile post Fordham took his horse up
to the side of Attache, and the pair entered the straight
side by side, Attache having a triftying advantage, till half
" The
way up the straight, where Carol" for a moment got
on even terms, but, being in difficulties at the distance,
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 Guide 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.
The Chillingham fitakee of 10 toys e added,

Betting-5 to 4 agst Cambuscan, 7to 4 against tho Iris
gelding, 100 to 15 agst Success, and 10 to 1 agst Moulsey.
Upon the signal being given Success got away with the
lead, the Iris gelding going on second, and Cambuscan
bringing up the rear, till entering the straight on the far
side, when the Iris gelding headed Success, and the four
went on in Indian file clear of each other, Cambuscan
pulling hard, bringing up the roar. These positions were
maintained till within half a mile from home, where Meal-
soy ran up to the Iris gelding and took a clear lead, and,
rounding the turn into the straight, Cambuscan came round
his horses on the outside and took his place beside Success.
Half way in the straight Moulsey gave way, and the Iris
gelding, next tho rails, was joined by Success; Cambuscan,
pulling hard, running about level with tho pair to the dis-
tance, when ho got his head in front and ran home a clever
winner by a neck. Tho Iris gelding was beaten half a
length from the second, Moulsoy finishing about two lengths
in his rear.

ACQUATICS.

ROYAL VICTORIA YACHT CLUB REGATTA

A sultry summer's morning, with a few cat's-paws play-
ing lightly and at largo intervals over the surface of the
water, the colours of the numerous yachts in the roads
drooping from their several mastheads and void of all
movement, was the state of affairs in Ryde Roads yester-
day morning, the second day of the Royal Victoria Yacht
Club Regatta—about the time the yachts engaged in the
two races of the day began to look out for their stations at
the starting moorings. Soon after 10 o'clock, however, the
various slight cat's-paws bad become concentrated into a
light air from the northward, and this naturally enough
raised hopes that the said light air would grow into a good
sailing breeze before the morning was over. The two races
consisted of, one a prize for cutters, and the other for
schooners. The cutters' card of entry and conditions was
a prize, value £5O, given by Mr. H. H. Kennard, for cut-
ters under 76 tons belonging to the Royal Victoria Yacht
Club. To start at 10.30 a.m. Time race, half Ackers'
scale, Thames measurement :

At 10.15 a.m. the preparatory gun was fired for the cut-
ters, and the white ensign was hoisted on board the com-
mittee vessel to proceed to the eastward. At 10.30 the
cutters coloured on the card were started, with the excep-
tion of Marina, whose owner proceeded to Cowes to enter
her at the Squadron Club-house for the race across Channel
to Cherbourg on Monday next. The Amulet took the lead
with but slight prospect of keeping it, in company with her
three rivals. Wind at starting northerly and light, the
last of the east-going tide carrying the vessels with the light
breeze on their course for the Nab. The light air failed
them before they even reached the Noman, and at noon
they were lying with their heads "all ways,', west of the
Noman, and drifting in towards Spithead with the incoming
western tide. The schooners' card comprised a prize, value
£5O, open to schooners under 125 tons belonging to any two
or more Royal Yacht Clubs. To start at 11 a.m. Time
race, half Ackers' scale, Thames measurement :

Starting after the cutters to the eastward they gained close
company with them before the failure of the light northerly
wind, and afterwards drifted with them from under the
Noman in towards Spithead. At 12.30 a light breeze came
in on the tido from the southward, which the Hirondelle
and Christabel were the first to catch, the others being a
quarter of a mile to the westward,, and both luffed up at a
good pace for the Noman, the Christabel taking the lead.
Christabel opened south of the Noman, from Ryde pier-
head, at 12h. 42min. 13sec., and the Hirondelle at 12h.
43min. 50sec. The remainder of the vessels caught, the
breeze according to the positions into which they had
drifted, and opened out south of the Noman

At the time the last of the schooners passed the Noman a
calm prevailed at Spithead, where the men-of-war lay at
anchor, while off Cowes there was a light north-westerly
air. The southerly breeze, h,pwever, that was coming in
with the tide gradually spread ; but it was not until the
Christabel was getting well towards the Nab lightship that
the breeze she and her consorts carried had extended to the
point of starting in Ride Roads. The Nab was fetched
by all under the influence of the same strength of breeze
With which they had left the woman under their !sterns,

SCULLERS' RACE FOR £5O.
A scullers race for £25 a-side took place yesterday from
Putney to Mortlake between John Biffen, of Hammersmith,
and James Dove, of Wapping, both young watermon, one
of whom is not yet out of his apprenticeship. Betting was
guineas to pounds on Dove. Both, although in early life,
have rowed previous matches with much credit to them-
selves, and a good race was anticipated. Citizen M accom-
panied, with a large number of spectators on board. Harry
Kelly, now champion of the Thames, showed Biffen his
course up, and Stephen Salter did the same kind office for
Dove. Mr. Ireland, of the London Rowing Club, was
umpire. Biffen won the choice of station, and took the
Middlesex side. They went away together, and Biffen,
with a great sweep, drew half bib lougth-auarut the ''T'ar
and Garter, but Dove, searing welito his work, came on a
line with him at the London Boathouse. There Biffen
again. drew slightly in advance, but was unable to rotain
it, and at the Point Dove had not only rowed level, but
headed hint slightly. Biffen again burst away, and, be-
coming nearly a length clear, took his opponent's water so
precipitately asmear to cause a foul, but Dove was too
weak in the handnecessary to bo pulled hard to avail him-
self of the advantage. Flom this point Biffen continued
the load, but with the utmost difficulty, and won by only
half a clear length, after being at ono time three lengths
ahead. Time, 2I min. 7 sec. Both men were much dis-
tressed.
