HAMPTON RACES.
SECOND DAY.-THURSDAY, JULY 7.

The renowned Moulsey, long celebrated as the resort of those
who profess themselves admirers of pugilism, had this day to
boast of one of the most numerous assemblages of amateurs,
in the more noble amusement of horse-racing, that has been
since the establishment of these races; and though Royalty
was not present, a more splendid display of rank, beauty, and
fashion, has seldom been collected together. The equipages
on the course were numerous and showy. The inns at Hamp-
ton and the different adjacent villages, are crowded to excess,
and all the beds are engaged at high prices ; in fact, the whole
country is bustle and gaiety. The scene on the Thames was
very animated, it being covered with boats of every descrip-
tion, both coming up and going down.; and we are happy
to add, that no untoward event occurred to damp the joy of
the day.
The general arrangement of the races was admirable, Mr.
De Burgh, one of the Stewards, undertaking the management
of the course, which was kept by the gamekeepers from Oat-
lands, anti Mr. Ball Hughes, attending to the fashionables
present, and the whole went off well.
Amongst a lonf•' string of Nobility and Gentry we observed
the Duke and Duchess of Richmond, the Lords and Ladies
Lennox, Marquis of Hertford, Earl Mountcharles, Lords Dun-
wich, Glengall, Wallscourt, Normanby, G. Bentinck, W.
Bentick, Molyneaux, Sir John and Lady Shelly, Captain and
Lady Caroline Berkeley, J. Douglas, Esq., Mr. and Mrs. Ball
Hughes, Mr. Duncombe, &c. &c.
The party at Oatlands consists of Earl 31ountcharles, Lords
Glengr.l, Normanby, Wallscourt, Hon. Captain De Roos, Cap-
tain Locke, Mr. Hicks, &c., to whom, and a large company, a
splendid ball and supper was given last night by the hospitable
Steward and his Lady.
The rain descended at intervals during the day, but was not
very heavy, nor did it at all impede the progress of the sports.
After the second heat was run, a cold collation was served up
to the visiters to Oatlands, consisting of every delicacy of the
season.
The pickpockets who arrived on Wednesday, by the towing
path, in droves of 15 or 20 at a time, were more closely watched
than before, and had little opportunity of following their pre-
datory vocation.
There were four good races, which were decided as follows :
The Gold Cup, value 100 sovs. for all ages ; 3 yrs old, 9st.
51b. ; 4 yrs, lOst. 81b. ; 5 yrs, llst. 71b. ' • 6 yrs and aged,

when Orator came up and challenged, and got in front for a
short time, when Burly Burly let loose and made a pretty race
with Augustine till within the distance, when he shot a-head
and won very cleverly by two lengths—rode by Captain Berko-

Tant) then let loose, and won easy by two or three lengths, al-
though he carried 21h. over his weight.

Oliver, Josh Hudson, Cy. Davis, Jack Randall. &c.

The day was very fine, and the company very numerous.—
The day's sport was highly satisfactory.

PIGEON-SHOOT I rm.—The second match for 200 sovereigns,
at 50 birds each, 21 yards from the trap, between Messrs. Ross
and Osbaldestone, took place yesterday, at Battersea, but the
shooting was neither so close nor so tine ..s on Wednesday.—
Mr. Osbaldestone shot with a very large gun belonging to
Captain Bentinck, and Mr. Ross with Mr. Osbaldestone's, the
same that he used on Wednesday. The betting, which, was
heavy, was rather in favour of the Captain, from the circum-
stance of the other gentleman shooting with a strange gun, and
to this we attribute his losing the match. Captain Ross got a-
head at the first, and won by 9 birds, having killed 35, and
Mr. Osbaldestone only 24.

The Constitutionnel of the Ist instant says—
" The Society designated the Pigeon Amateurs, at Antwerp,
sent 90 pigeons to Paris, which were let loose at seven o'clock
in the morning of the 26th ult. At noon, on the same day, 13
of these birds had already reached their old quarters at Ant-
werp. The first that arrived was 30 minutes earlier than the
last, which shows that in four hours and thirty miuutes this
bird had travelled from Paris to Antwerp—a distance of 78
leagues—at the rate of nearly 20 leagues an hour."

THE DIVIDENDS are now paying, and the
great question is, how to invest them to advan-
tage ? Many plans have been submitted for the
employment of Capital, but after all that can be
said of Judgment, there is seldom much good
effected without a little Luck ; with this alone,
any person may in a few days gain one or more
of the Four Prizes of 21,0001. in the present Lot-
tery, which with many other Capitals and Prizes,
amounting to 204,4421., must be all decided
NEXT FRIDAY, when 64 Pipes of Wine will be
given in addition to the Four Prizes of 1,000
Guineas,
