TUNBRIDGE RACES-TUESDAY.

Though the counter attractions of meetings held at
Lichfield and Exeter were to some extent a drawback to
this gatherimg, still the appreciation in which the Kentish
meeting is held was verified by the immense attemiance
which assisted. More genial weather could not have
heightened, the natural effect of the picturesque scenery,
and though the proceedings did not altogether pass off
without a wrangle or two, a satisfactory termination to
the opening day's, proceedings may be recorded. Full

this order for the first quarter of a mile, when Con-
federalist. passed Dayrell, and went on with a
clear lead, the others in the order before named, in Indian
file, along the far side to the turn into the straight, where
Sentinel bolted out of the course, and charging the rails
threw Booth, whose leg was broken. The stand was passed
the second time without any change, except that Jevington
began to close with Ellangowan, who got- on better terms
with Dayrell. Confederalist, still with a lead of two
lengths, went on till within a quarter of a mile from home,
where Jevington ran into second place, and got on better
terms with Confederalist, who came on in advance into the
etraight, where Jevington was beaten, and gave way to
Ellangowan, who, within the distance, challenged Con-
federalist, and the pair ran home an exciting finish, but
Ellangowan never quite getting up was defeated by a head ;
half a length separated the second and third; Dayrell a
