HAMPTON RACES.
THURSDAY.
The second day at Hampton, out of compliment either
to her Majesty or to her Majesty's " guineas," is pre-
scriptively the " grand" day, albeit, inferior in sporting
interest to the first. Such, however, is the public will;
and as the weather yesterday, unpromising enough in
the early part of the morning, turned out favourable,
there was the usual throng on the rail, the road, and
the water, and the usual mob on the Hurst ; every
stand was crammed, and the carriage inlosures
were blocked up from the top of the course to
the bottom. In brief there were all the outward
and visible signs of a " grand" day, and the lessees
must have reaped a rich harvest at a very small outlay.
The late hour to which the racing was spun out must be
our excuse for not entering so fully into details of the
snort, as it may appear to deserve. It commenced shortly
after two o'clock, and progressed with such utter disre-
gard of time, that the dead heat for the Queen's Plate
was not run until after five o'clock, and it was
seven o'clock before the Innkeepers' Race was con-
cluded. This ought to have been prevented, and we
think the stewards are to blame for having suffered it.
It will be seen that the dead heat for the Queen's Plate
was run under very suspicious circumstances as regarded
Blind Hockey. The rider, as we have stated, admits he
" pulled" his horse, but denies he did so from dishonest
motives. We trust it may have been so, but it is our
duty to state, that the public opinion was very strong
against him, and that it was not altered by the final re-
sult of the Plate. Business comp:it-need with the Clare-
mont Stakes of 10 soya. each, 5 ft, with 25 added, for
two year olds, colts Bst 71b, fillies Bst 41b. T.Y.C.

Mr. T. Hussey's Embrace, Bst 41b (J. Sharpe) 1
Sir G. Heathcote's Brother to Khorassan, Bst 41b ... 2
Lord Strathmore's Sweet Sauce, Bst 41b .
6 to 4 on Sweet Sauce (t), and 3 to 1 agst the others.
Brother to Khorassan jumped off with the lead, and
cut out the work to the distance, where Embrace went
in front, had it all her own way, and won by three
lengths. The favourite was disappointed at starting, and
never reached her horses. Run in 1 min. 1 sec.

The Queen's Plate of 100 guineas ; for three yrs old,
7st slb ; four, 9st lib ; five, 9st I Ilb ; six and aged,
lOst 21b. The winner to be sold for 5001., &c. Heats,
two miles.

Mr. I)rew's Cameo, 3 yrs
First heat.—Betting-5 to 2 agst Aliwal. 3 to 1 agst
Marquis of Conyngham, and 4 to 1 agst Miles's B.y.
Miles's Boy made the running to the up turn, but taking
the wron« side of the two posts, gave up his place, and
shortly atter rendered an objection needless by bolting.
The Muley Moloch cult went on with the
running to the distance, where Aliwal took
it up, and won by three lengths. Cameo was restive at
the post, and did not get off. Run in 4 min. 2 secs.
Second heat.-2 to lon Aliwal. Blind Hookey made
all the running, and, after a close race with Aliwal from
the stand, woo by a neck. Run in 4 min. 2 secs. Third
heat.—The betting began at 2 to 1 on Blind Hookey,
but underwent a sudden change, and left off at 2 and 3
to lon Aliwal. This movement led to a suspicion of
foul play, that the manner in which the heat terminated
served to strengthen. The old horse made slow
running all the way, and long before he got to the
distance, had the young one dead beat ; 011iver
then pulled his horse, not, he alleges, for the
purpose of losing the race, but that he might not ex-
pose his horse by winning too easy—he merely intended
to win by a neck. The result was, that Aliwal got up
at the last and made it a dead heat. The general feel-
ing was very strong, and the rider of Blind Hookey, on
returning to scale, was openly charged by several gen-
tlemen, with having run to lose the race. This heat was
run in 4 min. 27 secs. Fourth Heat-5 to 4on Blind
Hookey, who made good running from end to end, and
after a fine race up the distance, won by a neck. Run
in 4 min. 1 sec.

The Innkeeper's Plate of 25 sovs., added to a Sweep- I
stake of 5 sovs, each; for three-yrs-old, 7st 51b; tour,
Bst 51b; five and upwards, Bst 121 b. The winner to be
sold for 100 sovs. Heats, one mile and a quarter.

FOREIGN CORN TRADE AND
HARVEST.

BELGIUM.—The Courier d' Alsace says—" At Coima,
the medium market price on the 20th May was 43f. 61c.,
that of Thursday last, the 29th, was 37f. 5c., being a fall
of 6f. 46c, We must add that 1,466 hectolitres did not
find any purchasers, and are reserved for next
Thursday's market. At Mulhouse the sellers
were numerous last market day, but no one
seemed willing to buy. Native corn was offered at 38
francs and foreign corn at 35 francs. There has been a
diminution of six francs on the prices sinco the last
market, and a total fall of from ten to eleven francs
since the first symptoms of a decline. At Bouffach
and at Souk sales were not considerable, and there
was a sensible reduction. At Belfort and Donnemarie
the market was of second order, and prices considerably
lower. At Schelestadt the medium price of the market
before last was 48f. 14c., that of the last market (the
23d) was 43f. 7c., being a difference of 4f. 35c. At
Strasburg, the corn, which at the market before last was
sold at 48E, was last market day at from 42f to 43E, and
511 hectolitres remained unsold.
At Nancy, at Epinal, and at St. Die there was a fall of
from 7 to 9 francs. At Besancon there has been a
a considerable fall for some time. It is a fact worthy of
notice that commercial houses are so pressed by the
arrivals of considerable quantities of grain purchased
during the winter, that travellers are going throughout
all the localities to endeavour to get rid of their stocks ;
some of them even cause their prices to be published
through the Tillsges. This is owing to the fact that
there is no time to lose ; we are close upon the harvest,
which promises to be most favourable this year.
BRUSSELS, JUNE B.—From the 31st of May to the
sth of June, there entered into the port of Antwerp 36
vessels, laden wholly, or in part, with corn, and other
provisions. The importations made, er we-

COLONIAL PRO
DUCE.—The vessel Henry, arrived
in the docks from Van Diemen Land, has brought (from
Launceston) 1,466 bags of wheat; and the Elizabeth Buck-
port, has brought 433 bags and 782
ham, from the same
busl:els of wheat, the produce of that distant colony. The
latter-mentioned vessel has also brought 2 baskets and 3
casks of potatoes, which would appear to be a remarkablQ
iniportation from Van D. ienlen'a Land, although not one of
entire novelty ; a
.previous importation of the kind having,
if we reme!nber rightly, been before made the subject of
especial notice.
