The Dinner at the Dolphin Inn, on the first day, was of the
most sumptuous description, and attended by nearly 200 per-
sons of fashion and distinction. It was provided by Mrs. Lings,
to whom great credit is, due. The theatre was extremely full.
—The dinner at the Star Inn yesterday was attended by
all the rank and; fashion in the' neighbourhood., It con-
sisted of every' delicacy in season, and was served .by
Mr. Guy, in a manner calculated to increase the pa-
tronage he has so well deserved, by hid -Constant ,at-
tention to the wishes of his friends. The Ball at the
Long Rooms was cro*ded to excess-600 persons being pre:.
sent. The desert, served by Mr. Sharland, was of the most
beautiful description, - and the supper, under the direction,of
Mr. Webb, displayed his great knowledge in confectionery.
Dancing was kept up with vivacity, and did not cease-until six
in the-morning!—A grand display of fire-works was exhibited
for the entertainment of the public, in a field (Houndwell)
which was attended by some thousands of spectators. The
Theatre - has been open every evening during the present week,.,
and well attended. It has been most elegantly fitted tip, and de.
coYated by the Managers at a vast expense ' • it is lighted with gas,
which, with- the most elegant glass chandeliers, hid a very
brilliant and superb effect. The public are much indebted
to the Stewards, J. Ede and A. R. Dottin, Esqrs. for their ju-
dicious arrangement of the races and different entertainments;
and it being intended that these amusements shall be continu-
ed annually, Southampton bids fair to be a great resort of
fashion for
.the fnture. Nearly eight hundred pounds have
been subscribed fof the expences already incurred in making
the new Race Course' &c. and other contingencies applicable
to the purpose.—We have never witnessed so crowded a season
in this town before, in consequence of the Races and the dif-
ferent amusements for company. The lodging-houses are all
filled, and the inns crowded to excess, so much so that beds have
been engaged in private houses to accommodate-the-visitors.
