NORTHAMPTONSHIRE RACES.-WEDNESDAY.

A good deal of interest centred in the first ONentOf.to-
day, the meeting of Brahma and Thalassius in the Racing
Stakes, tho former having defeated the latter yesterday in
the Whittlebury by a head. To-day over a quarter of a
mile further distance, and giving Lord Stamford's horse
101 b., the latter ran a very bad third, Brahma forcing the
pace all the way, and leaving his rival, who is said to be a
roarer, in trouble before they reached the distance.
The Spencer Plate, the most objectionable of those half.
mile races that we hope some day to remember only as
things of the past, brought out, of course, the usual large
field. Twenty-two horses of very average merit faced the
starter, with a pretty tolerable certainty that 'whichever
first got *on its logs and well away in front would be hailed
the winner. The more than usual delay took place at the
post—indeed, it exceeded all bounds on this occasion, one
hour and twenty minutes being wasted before Mr. M'George
could get the lot in order. Tho start was a fair one,
Menace, Queen of Trumps, Paris, and Molly Carew show-
ing in front, and Mr. Ten Broeck's horse, who was first
favourite, coming out at the half-distance, and winning
with great ease.

The Althorp Park Stakes generally shows us the best
early form of some of the great stables, and there were ono
or two very good-looking ones among the 16 runners. Mac-
donald, Master Archie, Janitor, and Gladiator were the
pick, as far as looks wero concerned) And tb,p two first-
named were the favourites. Macdonald won with ease,
but Master Archor did not show in the race.

Two better days' racing worn never soon here ; the
arrangements, save in the delay for the Spencer Plato, were
admirably carried out, and, favoured with fine weather and
au unprecedented attendance, the meeting has been entirely
successful.

opportunity presenting itself, they were despatched from
the post in close company, but spread across the course. On
settling into their places Mirlifter, next on the rails, in com-
pany with Queen of Trumps, Joss-stick, Molly Carew, the
favourite, and Menace, were observed clear of their followers,
who were headed by Exchequer, Imogene, Lady Hawthorn
filly, Linda, and Swordsman, as they emerged from the
hollow and came over the bill. Shortly after, Queen of
Trumps, in centre, obtained a slight lead, and, with Mirli-
fio;Menaeei Molly Carew, and Paris came on in company
to halfway n the distance, where Fordham brought up
Paris, and in a few strides after headed the Queen of Trumps,
and won with great ease by a couple of lengths ; the latter
defeating Menace by three lengths; a similar distance
separating the latter from Molly Carew, who was fourth,
Imogene was fifth, Lady Hawthorn filly sixth, Linda
seventh, Swordsman eighth, and Exchequer next. The
others,who were widely spread, were whipped in by Tour-
