The " opening day" of this meeting was celebrated
most propitiously; the weather was delightfully fine,
and•the attendance of pleasure folk and " business men"
was larger than on any previous anniversary.
The vast assemblage comprised the elite of the fashion-
' able and titled patrons of the turf, most of whom were
sojourning at the different seats in the neighbourhood.
The result of the race for the Northamptonshire
Stakes, the principal event of the day, was unexpected,
and no little surprise was created. The wintir was
scarcely mentioned in the ring, and the bookmakers are
consequently large winners. Up to the hour of starting
Defiance was steadily supported, and Swiftsure grew in
favour ; the former ran a good horse. Red Lion was also
in strong demand, notwithstanding a declaration from
his stable to win with Chief Justice. Lamprocles went
quite out of the market. Owing to the early closing
movement (eight p.m.) at the Telegraph-office, much
disappointment and dissatisfaction was occasioned, seve-
ral communications after that hour being required to be
made to different parts of the country.
