The first race being set for eleven o'clock, the town
was very early astir. Waiters and chambermaids
rushed jostling about, and yet bell-calls were not an-
swered quickly enough. Breakfasts were speedily dis-
cussed, and parties gathered in haste at the subscription
room, but as there was no time for the transaction of
business there, off they hurried to the heath, and all was
bustle and excitement. Truly it was a great day for
sport, 12 of the 13 races appointed fir decision being
run. Altogether 95 horses went to the post, and several
of the contests excited a very lively interest by their se-
verity and closeness.

We regret is state that, after a few clays' suffering
from quinsy, Mr. J seph Rogers, the well-known trainer,
expired at his residence, Newmarket, on Thursday night.
He was an excellent father, a good master, and a zealous
promoter of the prosperity of the town. His loss will
be much felt.

KINGSTON.—This first-class race horse has been dis-
posed of for a large" consideration," and he will stand
at Middlepark Farm, near Blackheath, during the en-
suing season.

NEW UNIFORM FOR THE LETTER CARRIERS.—It is
contemplated to effect a change in the preseat uniform
of the letter carriers, and to substitute a scarlet coatee
with a dark blue turn-down collar, on which the letters
G.P.O. and the number of the letter carrier will be
legibly cabroidered,—Cira &f it; Ggezetc.
