[Further particulars of Wednesday's Racca.]
Stockton Stakes.—This was so great a " certainty" that: 4
and sto one were freely betted on Clara. Unluckily for the
layers, however, it did not come off, for after a close and beau-
tifully contested race, the horse won by half a length. Ho
has since been named St. Peray.
Plate.—Redsbank made the running at a good pace, fol-
lowed by Vienna and Boddch Glas 'till near the cords, when
Paganini shot by them and won by two lengths. The dis-
tance seems to suit Paganini better than the A. F., or the rn.•
sults of this and the Craven Stakes cannot be accounted for.
Column Stakes.-5 to 4 was laid very freely on the Duke,
of Portland's colt, and the event proved that his friends had
calculated with greater nicety than Clara's. The lot f.'°t
away in compact order, at a middling pace, Mecca leading dr°
van with Quo Minus in attendance, till they got into the Ab.
M. bottom, where the favourite showed in front : at the com-
mencement of the cords they were all abreast, but at this mo-
ment the Duke's colt parted company, and ran in a gallant
winner by a length. Mecca defeated Bullcalf by about a length.
Anne Boleyn had the credit of brineing up the rear.
Bamboo, it will be seen, did not show against Dcedalus ;
his noble owner prefers keeping him for the 2000 guineas, for
which his chance is materially improved by the declaration that:
Phcenix will not start.

The weather was so bitterly cold, that none but those in-
terested in the races, ventured on the heath. Two or three
hail storms, the inconvenience of which was aggravated by a
strong wind, contributed not a little to the miseries of the day.
As we stated in our account forwarded from the heath, Lord
Jersey has declared that Phoenix will not start for the race to-
morrow, or the 2,000 guineas stakes. Of course the public
found plenty of reasons for the announcement. " The horse
coughs," said one; " his legs wont stand," said another;
while a third accounted for it by his being " too good I" So
far from the declaration prejudicing him in the betting, he was
. mmediately backed for the Derby at 7 to 1 for six or seven
hundred pounds, and 600 to 500 laid on him against Bamboo,
who, we should imagine, must also be " too good" for be de-
clined meeting Daedalus. Young Rowton was in high favour,
and before the ring broke up was backed at 10 to L. Grey
Momus was also in the ascendant. Offers came from good
quarters to make 12 to 1, and only 10 to 1 bid. Very feW
horses in the betting: Closing prices :—.
