CHELMSFORD SUMMER MEETING.
THURSDAY.

The second day of the meeting was again in point of
weather the pink of perfection. The assemblage, perhaps,
was greater than on Wednesday, owing no doubt toimany
who were at the Wye meeting on the previous day. The
sport which came off produced some very exciting races,
the chief item, the Essex Handicap, particularly being most
closely contested ; but the result proved in favour of
Dawdle, George Fordham's resolute riding just landing' the
American's colours. The other events are fully described
below.

meski and Dolphin, at whose heels the others followed in a
cluster into the straight. Half-way up the hill Kromeski
dropped back, and Erin-go-Bragh joined Veluti and Dol-
phin, and at the Stand got on even terms with Veluti,
whom she defeated, after a most interesting struggle, by
a head ; the same separated the second and third, Erin-

at the Stand was challenged by Vigil, who won a fine race

Lady Mary, Veluti, and Queen Bee
also ran.

Betting-2 to 1 agst Veluti, 3to 1 agst The Gem, Bto 1
agst Queen Bee.
After several failures, principally caused by Eugenie's
fractiousness, an equitable start was effected. The Gem,
with a slight advantage, was closely attended by Bella and
Veluti and the others in compact order to the distance,
where Eugenie took third place and Veluti dropped back.
Half way up The Gem and Bella drew clear away from the
others, but the latter, suddenly stopping opposite the
Stand, The Gem won very easily by three lengths ; the
same distance separated the second and third, Lady Mary
was fourth, Veluti fifth, Queen Bee sixth, Bittern seventh,
and Walloon last.
