OXFORD RACES—TirrmsDAy.

Though the "city of learning" threatened to be de-
prived of its annual race meeting, through the unwarrant-
able interference of one "individual" resident, the com-
mittee, after considerable exertions, arranged all diffe-
rences, and hence the gathering—and a good one it was—
yesterday on Port Meadow. The weather, however, was
during the morning by no means tempting, and showers
fell at intervals. Notwithstanding this drawback the
course was thronged with general company ; a large num-
ber of carriages lined the side of the course, and the stand
and enclosure contained their usual quota. As will be seen
from the accompanying return, the racing was of an aver-
age character. Mr. Brayl ey's extraordinary run of luck
lately was further. demonstrated by the success of Ends-
leigh for the Stakes, which, with the other events, are
fully described below.
