Five ran.

The great success of this meeting was a sufficient indi-
cation of the energy and perseverance which has been
exerted to attain it. York Races were gradually sink-
ing into insignificance, when well-directed efforts and an
extended liberality re-established them, and each suc-
ceeding anniversary has presented attractions of increased
power and importance.
At the meeting just concluded, the supply of sport was
ample, and fully commensurate with the richness of the
various stakes. The public money that was distributed
amounted to upwards of 1,350 guines ; no wonder, then,
that the fields were comparatively large, and the cha-
racter of many of the competitors of high racing order.
The spirit of improvement was visible in several mate-
rial alterations and additions on the course. In particu-
lar, a new and commodious Stewards' Stand has been
erected, and its appearance is remarkably light and ele-
gant. The whole of the lower part is fitted up as a room
for the especial use and accommodation of the represen-
tatives of the press, and a place is also provided for them
on the upper part of the stand, where they have an un-
interrupted view of the whole of the proceedings.
In conclusion, we have only to add that the staff of
officials performed their respective duties admirably, that
the weather during the meeting was delightfully favour-
able, the attendance of company quite equal to an aver-
age, and that the prospect of sport for next year is excel-
lent.

DIEPPE STEEPLE CHASES will take place in presence
of the Emperor and Empress of the French on the sth of
September. The prizes will be of the value of 7,000 or
8,000 francs. The entries aro to be made to Mr. Dor-
ling, Epsom, or Mr. l3eeton, 39, Milk-street, on or be-
fore the 27th inst. The objectionable wall will not have
to be taken this time, and • every means will be used to
ensure the entry of English horses.
