YORK AUGUST MEETING-THURSDAY.

The announcement that the Claxton case is to be re-
opened and gone into at Doncaster before the full com-
mittee of Tattersall's gate universal satisfaction last
night. Public opinion has pronounced so unmistakably on
the fallacy of the late decision that it is to be hoped one
more consonant with the principles of common sense will
be arrived at by the the proper tribunal.
Tho break between Lord Glasgow and the Whitewall
stable has formed another topic for the quidnuncs during
the meeting. In consequence of the running of White Duck
on Tuesday the Earl gave orders for the removal of his
horses from John Scott's care, and they will go, we
believe, to Tupgill for the present, to be trained by Tom
Dawson.
The chief events of the last day at York aro the Gim-
crack, the Great Yorkshire Stakes, and the Cup. The first
named is interesting from its being the only mile course,
with the exception of the Nursery at Goodwood, on which
two-yr-olds meet to try their staying powers. Selim, un-
penalised, was the favourite, but ho proved a non-stayer,
and the extra weight telling on Macdonald and Esca,
Johnny Osborne brought out Lord of the Vale, and won a
fine race from Split the Difference by a head. In the Colt
Sapling Stakes they laid odds on Mr. Pitt, but Fordham
hardly came soon enough, and failed to pass Blue Riband,
a dead heat being the judge's award. The Great Yorkshire
was a surprise for the supporters of Broomielaw-, on whom
they laid odds, Klarinska, little fancied by her stable, win-
ning from start to finish, and in such hollow style that 12
to 1 was immediately taken about her for the St. Leger.
Ely scared away all competitors for the Cup, and this
handsome prize goes to swell the list of trophies already
won for Mr. Cartwright by this great horse.
The meeting has been most successful, and the weather
everything that could be desired.

Macdonald was the first away, and made the running at a
good pace, having Selim, the Lady Elizabeth colt, and
Split the Difference as his immediate followers, Lord of the
Vale and Esca lying up. They ran in these positions to the
T.Y.C. post, when the leader dropped back, leaving Se-
lim with a slight advantage, which he retained to the dis-
tance, when he in turn gave way to Split the Difference and
Esca, who came on together to the enclosure, when Osborne
brought up Lord of the Vale with a rush, and getting up to
Mr. Jackson's colt at the Stand ho headed him in the next
few strides and won a fine race by a head. Split the Differ-
ence was second, three lengths in advance of Esca; Selim
a bad fourth.

Betting-100 to 30 on Mr. Pitt.
The non-favourite cut out the work to the half-way in
the distance, when Mr. Pitt drew up, and, catching him in
the stand, the pair finished a splendid race with a dead heat.
Deciding Heat—Betting opened at 6 to 4 on Mr. Pitt
and closed at even on Blue Riband, who took a slight lead
to within 200 yards from home, where Fordham made his
effort and landed Mr. Pitt in the last few strides by a head,
after an exciting struggle.

100 to 3 agst Monitress.

A short delay, caused by the fractiousness of Locket
Lucy, Castanet, and Naide, preceded the actual start, in
which Castanet, in the centre, got away with a slight lead of
Locket Lucy next the rails, and Jezebel on the extreme
right, close in whose wake came Amazon, Naide, Moni-
tress, Black Prince, Rococo, and Raunds in close company
to the road. Here Castanet disappeared from the front,
and the running was then taken up by Locket Lucy, who,
half way down, was followed by Amazon and Rococo, but
the two latter never had a chance of reaching Mr. Bar-
ber's filly, who won in a canter by three lengths. Amazon
defeated Rococo by half a length for second ; a similar
distance divided the latter from Naide. Castanet was
fifth, Jezebel sixth, the Blue Bell filly seventh, and
Raunds next. The last two were Violent and Grand
Master, beaten off.

pair being
a couple of lengths in advance of Broomielaw,
Lord Conyngham and Nightwatch side by side bringingup
the rear. As they neared the mile and a quarter post Lord
Conyngham headed the favourite and followed Olmar into
the straight, where the two last-named were beaten, leav-
ing Broomielaw in attendance upon Mr. Bowes's mare. At
the distance Nightwatch reached the favourite, but neither
of the two were enabled to reach the leader, who won in a
canter by a length : a like distance separated the second
