NORTHAMPTON RACES.—(TUESDAY.)
This day's list afforded rather more racing than was
anticipated; and, considering the circumstance under
which it was increased, and showery state of the wea•
then, more than was desirable; the first race having
come off, a field of fourteen horses showed at the post for
the Althorp Park Stakes, the greatest number ever as-
sembled together for a two-year-old stake at Northamp-
ton, and therefore well calenlated to give eclat to the
meeting. Unfortunately, through some unaccuuntaule
blundering of the flags, tour of the fourteen were pulled
up immediately atter starting, their jockies concluding
it to be a false start, They were—Beverlac, Little Reif
Riding Hood, Mother Cary's Chicken, and Lucy Ashton.
The other ten ran the distance, and a very fine race
between Woodcraft and the Sheriff terminated in favour
of the latter by a bead. On returning to the stand to
weigh, a cry of "No start " greeted the jockies, and
such, it is said, it was declared to be by the starter. In
consequence, all but Publican and Protection, who were
" convinced," proceeded to the post again, and, as it is
asserted, on their own responsibility, and even without
receiving_ any order from the starter, started a second
time, and ran the race through. saving two or three,
who did not get off, when Beverlac won by a length,
The Sheriff second. Meanwhile the starter and his
assistant were called before Lord Spencer and
Lord W. Powlett, when it appeared that the starter
lowered his flag, and that it was answered
by a similar movement in advance, and that
the starter's flag was immediately raised again, but not
the other. Upon this evidence it was decided that the
first start was valid, and the Sheriff the winner of the
race. The matter, liewever, is not finally settled ; Mr.
Green claims the race, on the ground that the first was
pronounced by the starter to be "no start," and that
the second was the valid one. The steward, on receiving
the protest, gave directions that the stakes shall
,be withheld, and have determined on submitting
it to the Jockey Club. This untoward event was
the only flaw in the management, but it
is a serious one, and we have no doubt
that it will lead to the appointment of Mr. Elibburd as
starter. So onerous an office ought not to be in the
hands of any but experienced hands. Apart from this
afiair, there was nothing in the racing to call for a
remark.
