CHESTER RACES-THURSDAY.

Beyond the Dee Stakes, for which we were promised a
peep at Broomielaw, there was nothing particularly inte-
resting in to-day's racing. There were only four starters
for the Queen's Guineas, and old Stanton made most of the
running, and won cleverly at last, despite an effort made
by Yeatsall to reach him. Broomielaw, of course, came in
for a grand inspection and a variety of criticism before his
race. The general opinion was rather hostile to him than
otherwise, as though a fine, powerful-looking colt, his
style of going is awkward, and he was evidently very
green. He ran all over the course in the race, and from
Custance having to raise his whip after passing the Gros-
venor turn, a cry of " The favourite's beat !" was uttered
by hundreds of tongues. But ho only required calling
upon, and Mr. Chaplin had the satisfaction of landing one
of his high-priced colts an easy winner. We shall probably
see him in better form on Epsom DOwns. After the race
15 to 1 was taken about him for the Derby to a large
amount. A good-looking coltand a fine mover, Redan, won
tke Beaufort Biennial easily for Lord St. Vincent ; and the
Cestrian Handicap was a turn up for the fielders in the
close victory of Lucy Long over the favourite Moulsey.
There was a much-diminished attendance, and the sport
was moderate.

Filbert got away in advance, but in the next dozen
strides he was headed by Sidewind, who came on with a

tance separated the second and third; a bad fourth.

Betting-2 to lon Stanton, and 3to 1 agst East Lynn.
Yeatsall was the first away, followed by the favourite
and East Lynn side by side to the Canal turn, where the
latter quitted his companion and came on in attendance on
the leader to the Grosvenor turn, where the pair were
headed by Stanton, who came past the stand a length in
advance of Mr. Wilkinson's colt, the pair running together
to within half a mile of home, where the latter was beaten
and dropped into the rear. At the turn into the straight
Stanton was joined by Yeatsall, but shaking him off as they
came on, he won very easily.
The Dee Stakes, of 10 soya each, with 100 added; for
3-yr-olds ; colts Bst 101 b ; fillies Bst 61b. Second to

vertised.

Betting-5 to 4on Broomielaw, 4to 1 agstArgences, and
6 to 1 agst Joker.
At the second attempt Joker, with the favourite and
Argences side by side, got away in advance, but after run-
ning a few strides King Arthur went to the front, and came
on with a clear lead of Joker, close in whose wake were the
favourite and Breffni, Flying Horse and Argences being the
two last. Passing the stand the lot closed up, and ran in
company to the Canal turn, where Joker and favourite
headed the Middleham colt and came on together to the
half-mile post, where they were joined by Argences. From
this point the three ran in company to the straight, when
Broomielaw took a decided lead, but running raw, green,
and unkindly he was caught at the distance by Argences,
but Custanco in the most vigclous manner stuck to his
horse, and keeping him straight won at last by two lengths ;
five lengths between the second and third, and three lengths
separated third and fourth.

The Cestrian Handicap of 100 sovs, added to a sweepstakes
of 5 sovs each. Winners extra. Six furlongs. 41 subs.

to 1 agst Lucy Long.
Lucy Long, clear of Moulsey and Sidewind, came on
together to the distance, when the leader drew away, and
won very easily by half a length. A neck separated the
second and third ; Crytheia finished a bad fourth. The
others were beaten off
