EPSOM RACES—THE OAKS DAY.
FRIDAY. —The anticipations of a numerous and
fashionable attendance for the Oaks were fulfilled by the
aestilt, for although the Downs were not encumbered
with an enormous mass of human beings, as on Wed-
nesday, the company was far more select. The large
Proportion of private carriages with fashionable parties
on the hill, and the number of ladies on the Grand
;Stand, rendered this a most successful termination of the
aneeting. The private stand and the enclosure exhibited
the usual array of leaders of the Turf and business men.
In the number of distinguished and fashionable visitors
were his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, his
Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar, his
Itoyal Highness the Duke de Nemours, his Excellency
the French Ambassador, the Duke of Richmond, the
Duke and Duchess of Montrose, the Marquises of
Exeter and Clanricarde and the Marchioness of
Aylesbury, the Earl and Countess of Chesterfield,
nthe Earls of Jersey, Derby, Wilton, Granville,
desley, Bessborough, March, Strathmore, Bruce,
Longford, Viscount and Viscountess Newport, Vis-
count and Viscountess Villiers, Viscounts Maidstone,
Anson' Curzon, Clifden, Lascelles, and Enfield,
Count Bentevogo, Baron and Baronness Rothschild,
Baron de Steinberg, Lords H. Gordon Lennox, George
G. Lennox, Alexander G. Lennox, George Manners,

general rush of the company to every available place of

course were instantaneously filled to suffocation, but
/_l,nabers, unable to get under cover, were thoroughly
11renched in a very few minutes. For nearly an hour

The Race of the day—the Oaks—was won withre-
markable:arkable ease by Catherine Hayes. For the last three-
-41//arters of a mile it was very evident that she had her
-:vahl quite safe. After making the turn into the
N.straight, she went on with a decided lead, Mistletoe,
-Lnentnaore Lass, and The Queen, the next three fa-
17ciirites, were even then toiling after her in vain. Soon
afterwards they were distinctly beaten off.
hThe report that she had been sold by Mr. Wauchope
ad not the slightest foundation in truth.
