EPSOM RACES
TUESDAY.
The Summer Meeting commenced yesterday with very in-
viting weather, and there being a similar series of engage-
ments to that which filled Mt. Dorling's " broad sheet" of
last year, it may be calculated that the sport, unless the
Plates should be less abundant in heats than usual, will be
terminated not very far from twilight on Friday evening
next. With respect to the importance of this meeting to the
racing community, at any rate, there can scarcely be two
opinions. Every one must allow it still stands preeminent
over all other great racing assemblages, chiefly and perhaps
solely, in consequence of the universal interest excited by the
great events of the week—the Derby and the Oaks.
The programme of yesterday's racing exhibited no very
marked feature, scarcely any in fact to stimulate the public
appetite, or to attract more than the passing attention of the
betting men. This, we conceive, may be attributed to an
injudicious arrangement of the stakes. Had the Grand Stand
Handicap been included in the first day's amusement, it
would have "told" with the majority, and, as a consequence,
the attendance would have been more numerous, and specu-
lation would have taken a wider range ; but coming off as it
does on Thursday, when the minds of betting men are
distracted by the one great event that has just
been decided, and by the other almost on the eve of
being so, and when, moreover, the pure votaries of pleasure
are recruiting themselves from a day of excitement and
fatigue, we do not think we are asserting too much in saying
that the money so liberally granted in the shape of a bonus
is comparatively thrown away ; and that the strength of the
" off " days, such as Tuesday and Thursday are, ought to be
thrown into the former, in order to make a good solid com-
mencement. Enough, however, of mere matter of opinion.
The sport afforded yesterday was upon the whole up to
"par," and, touching the Woodcote Stakes, was vastly
superior to any opening day on record, an entry
of 31 horses having produced 15 starters; none
of them, however, possessing such superior public
pretensions as to mar the betting. The same can be said of
the characters of the competitors for the Craven Stakes, a
more ordinary lot than which could scarcely be seen in a
I race, which heretofore used to be witnessed with interest.
1 With reference to transit from London to the course to-mor-
row (Wednesday), we advise those who start from London-
bridge by train direct to Epsom, to book themselves by the
early express trains, for we are confident that the
later trains, and particularly the ordinary ones,
whether early or late, will, on account of the cheapness of
their third-class carriages (3s. there and back), be incon-
veniently crowded, to predict nothing worse of them.
The ronte by Nine Elms, though longer and dearer,
may be found in the end shorter and cheaper. In
terminating our notice of this first day's proceedings,
we have merely to add, that the " select " more than
averaged their u ual numbers, and amongst them we observed
the Duke of Richmond and the Ladies Lennox, Duke of Rut-
land, Marquis Exeter, Earls of Chesterfield, March, Granville,
Strathmore; Lords ' Maidstone G. Manners, H. Lennox,
Burghley, B. Cecil, C. Fitzroy, Suffield, G. Lennox, G. Ben-
thick, W. Powlett, E. Russell; Count Batthyany ; Sirs C.
Cockerill, W. W. Wynn, G. Heathcote • Honourable H.
Rona, G. Byng, Colonel Anson, H. Pitt. F. Villiers, H. For-
rester; General Charrittee ; Colonels Knox and Peel; ISles.vs.
Greville, Payne, Shelley, Nevill, Fitzroy, Jaques, Bowes,
Delme Ratcliffe, Graham, S. Stanley, J. Stanley, Batson, &c.
In the afternoon an unfavourable change in the weather
took place, and the wind shifted from south-west to almost
the opposite quarter, and was accompanied with somewhat cold
but not very heavy rain, which continued to the close of
the racing at half-past five. Having on a former occasion
spoken of the arrangements of the nteeting, we have only

The following also started, but were not placed :—Mr Os-
baldeston's Vice Consul. Mr. Osbaldeston's Giselle, Lord
Glasgow's The Provost, Mr. S. Hawke's New Era, and Mr.
O'Brien's Bedlam.

Betting— 10 to 6 agst Crozier, 4 to 1 agst Spider, 5 to 1
agst New Era, and sto 1 agst Wintonia. New Era took the
lead at starting, and, with Spider, Wintonia, and Bedlam in
attendance, made play to the distance ; it was then taken up
by Spider, who carried it on to the stand ; Crozier, who laid
off in the commencement of the race, and did not get through
his horses until round the turn, here went up, headed him
in a few strides, and won cleverly by a length. The same
distance between the second and third. Run in 2 min.

16 sec.
The Woodcote Stakes of 10 sovs. each, with 100 aided, for
two yrs old colts, Bst 61b; fillies, Bst 31b. The second to

111‘Keller's f by Metal, out of Mrs. Baggs, Mr. Mostpi's
Daughter of Toscar, and Mr. Worley's Caversham.
Betting-6 to 4 agst Flatcatcher, 7to 2 agst Dovor, 7to
2 agst Woodcraft, 6to 1 agst Daughter of Toscar, and Bto
1 agst Dinedor. This was one of the hollowest races ever
seen. The start a good one, all getting well off, but, in an
instant, Awkward and Flatcatcher singled themselves out,
and ran in company for about 300 yards. Flatcatcher then
took a decided lead, went right away from his horses, and
won in the commonest of canters, by three lengths; Wood-
craft second, beating Dovor by two lengths, the Moor and
Little Red Riding Hood fourth and fifth. Run in
one mi-
nute 17 seconds.
The Manor Stakes of 5 sovs. each, with 40 added ; three yrs

Mr. Sainsbury's Questionable Treen J. Sharpe.
Capt. Delme ns Resolution Pettit.
Mr.R.Bulkeley's Montpensier C. Peck Bumby.
Of the above, Christopher and Miles's Boy are doubtful
starters, and it is more than probable that there will be some
change in the order of the Goodwood horse.. The general
impression is that twenty. eight or thirty will show at the
post. _
