WEDNESDAY.

The weather in the early part of the day was so
threatening, that hundreds gave up an anticipated
treat, and reserved themselves for the Cup on Thurs-
day. The wind blew " great guns" from the S.W., ac-
companied occasionally by showers. It cleared up about
noon, but the effect was evident, as the company on the
course was considerably below par both in number and
rank. The subjoined return of the racing is made up to
half-past four o'clock, our experience of the first clay
having proved that with two Plates in heats, to delay the
express until the conclusion would be to render it alto-
gether useless.
The City Members' Plate of 50 guineas' with 50 added
by the Ladies, and 10 from the fund for the second
horse ; 3 yrs, 7st 41b ; 4 yrs, Bst 71b ; 5 yrs, 9st ; 6

was made under the personal direction of Lord G. Ben-
tinck, and was one of the best ever seen. Lady Liver-
pool took the lead at a good pace, followed by Master
Tommy, Wirrestrew, Exit, Henri Quatre, and Monsieur
le Sage, with the ruck so close up that we cannot at-
tempt to say what else was In front. They ran in this
way to the first turn, where Master Tommy displaced
Lady Liverpool, and carried the running round the
clump to the hill, Orelia, now lying up. Carlotta and
Isabella then took the lead, the former having her neck
in advance, Orelia and The Corsair, Exit and Monops,
following them. Carlotta was beaten at the distance,
and immediately after Orelia and Corsair headed Isa-
bella, the male leading. This pair finished the race,
Orelia, winning easy by two lengths, and The Corsair
beating Exit and Isabella by a length ; the last men-
. • tioned two were nearly head and head at the finish.
Monops and several others were well up.
