EPSOM SPRING: MEE-TING.--81-TURDAY.
As we mentioned in our last, the clerk of the course,
immediately after the stewards decided on postponing
the races, set a great number of men to work to clear
the running ground of the snow ; they were kept at it
until ten o'clock at night, and resumed their labour at
day break, with such good effect that the course was
almost entirely cleared before the commencement of the
races, the only part at which any remains of snow were
visible being in the neighbourhood of Tattonhaw corner.
It is fortunate that Mr. I)orling was thus prompt in his
movements, had it been suffered to lie many hours longer,
the severe frost which set in about six o'clock would have
rendered it next to impossible to remove it, and the meet-
ing could not have taken place. The state of the ground
after it was cleared was not so bad as we had expected,
still it was very heavy, and there can be little doubt that
the chances of the heavy weights were materially affected
by it. The approaches to the Downs were in much
better order than on Friday, but in the vicinity of the
Stand the ground was in a dreadful state ; in fact, it
wes a river of mud, so that, without making a wide
detour, the entrance was scarcely accessible; those who
did ventured through the slush cut a most deplorable
figure. The weather was fine, and so mild, that had not
unmistakable evidences of winter met the eye in all di-
rections, we might almost have been tempted to believe
that we were really attending a " spring" meeting.
With regard to the effect of the postponement, there
cannot be a question that it was extremely prejudicial to
the meeting. Of all days in the week Saturday is nuto
riously the worst for racing, and more especially so for
the class of persons chiefly interested in the Metropo-
litan Handicap, v z., the licensed victuallers and their
connexions, two-thirds of whom were deprived of their
anticipated treat. It was bad in another respect, for it
chives the settling into one of the busiest of the New-
market meetings, and will thus occupy time which ought
to be devoted either to the immediate business of the
week, or to comparing books for the still more busy one
to follow. The postponement, it is admitted, was un•
avoidable; but it will be for the stewards to con-ider
whether it will not be advisable in future to select Tnurs•
day. This would leave Friday for settling, and Satur-
day, as it ought always to be, would be left free.
It will be understood from what we have stated, that
tho company was not by any means great; the enclosure
it is true, was thronged, and many of the most influential
supporters of the turf were present, but in numbers the
falling off was palpable, and we fear that Mr. Dolling,
whose expenses were considerably increased by the
employment of nearly 200 men in removing the snow,
must have been a loser. The same remark applies to
Mr. Lumley, who had-catered with his usual taste, and
for about three times as many as were in the stand; in a
pecuniary sense, in fact, the meeting must have been a
decided failure.

The racing is given in detail below; it is therefore
only necessary to observe with reference to the principal
event, that the chances of two of the light weights were
materially damaged by circumstances over which their
owners could have no controul. Lugar overpowered his
rider in cantering up the course, and again in returning,
the lad not being able to stop him until he had run con-
siderably beyond the starting-post. The Goodwood
party were squally unfortunate; Treen was to have
ridden their horse (Do-the-Bop), but on coming to
scale about twenty minutes before the time
axed for starting, he was found to be upwards
of 21b. short of weight; of course it was too
late to make the usual declaration, so that at the
last moment they had to put a boy on him from Mr. E.
Parr's stable—his orders, we are informed, were to wait
on the leading horses, and on no account to take up the
running until he was round Tatunham-corner. The
horse, a e presume, must have had a will of his own, for
instead of waiting, he took the lead after the first half
mile, made play at a strong pace, and at the top of the
hill was six or eight lengths in advance. We do not say
that he could have won, but it is clear that hal the
orders been observed, he must have been very near. The
manner iu which the race was run, and its results, prove
that had there been any tking bke a pace for the New-
nvarket Handicap, Canesou would not have had a (thence
with Fernhill.
Before we proceed to the return of the racing, we
must once more enter our protest against the continuance
of heats at Epsom. If the object be to keep the people
on the course, it was only partially attained on this c
sion, two thirds having left long before the racing was
over; those who did "see it out" must hare had enough
of it, for it was nearly seven o'clock before the match
was run. This pettifogging class of racing is a fruitful
source of trickery and fraud, and ought not to be tole-
rated at any respectable meeting.
The Trial Stakes of 5 sous. each, with 50 added, for
three-yrs-old, 7st; four, 9st. One mile.

and was sent back.

The betting closed at even on Black Eagle-4 to,l
each agst Thuruhill and Second Sight—and 5 to 1 agst
Christiana.

Caesarian jumped off first, but was immediately headed
by Christiana, who, with Second Sight, Black Eagle, and
Eva laid up, had a clear lead to the turn ; the favourite
then took the second place, waited to the distance,
went on with the running, and won cleverly by a length.
Evs, who came at the last, beating Caesarian by a head;
Second Sight a bad third; Thornhill fifth.—Run in 1

Ballet Girl jumped off with the lead, followed by the
Swede and Valentine, Officious, who did not get off
well, last. They kept this order to the road, where the
Swede took up the running, Officious waiting on him
until within half a distance of home, when she went up,
defeated him without an effort, and won very easily by
a length; Valentine a bad third. Run in 56 sec.
The Great Metropolitan Handicap of 25 Sovs. each, 15

They all got off well at the first word, Cockermouth,
Lugar, Fugleman, Ilagley, Eva, Maid of Lyme, Do the-
Boys, and Bagatelle,composing the front rants; in the
rear being the three heavy weights, Fernhill and New
Forest Deer. Cockermouth and Lugar cut out the work
to the first turn, which the latter took so wide that he
never afterwards had a chance of getting near the front.
Maid of Lyme and Fugleman here showed in advance
fur a few strides, when the running was taken up, at a
great pace, by Do-the-Boys, followed by Eva, liaglel,
and Fugleman; in their wake, at a wide interval,
coming Peep o'-Day Boy, Mogador, and the ruck.
On nearing the top of the hill, Eva ran up to Do-the-
