EPSOM RACES.
FRIDAY.
Although the assemblage on the Downs to-day, to
see the Oaks decided, was, by many thousands, less nu-
merous than on Wednesday, it was considerably larger
than on the last day of bygone meetings ; an improve-
ment equally the consequence of the extreme fleetness,
of the weather, and of the facility the opening of the
Epsom line afforded the citizens to visit the course at I
convenient hour, without any reasonable dread of a re-
currence of the confusion of Wednesday. Similar con-
fusion, we are glad to say, did not occur, and well
filled trains kept arriving up to the last moment.
bringing partics in the nick of time, evidently pleased
with the new accommodation. The South-Western line
brought down within a hurn4red or two, yesterday and
on Wednesday, of the number it did on the same days
last year. Vehicles by the turnpike roads were nume-
rous, and containing a large number of the fairer sex.
contributed much to the pleasantness of the scene
The " ring" was formed as usual in the morning, in
front of the Spread Eagle, and some few bets wert
laid; the only movements, however, of ant
consequence were on Clementina and Slander,
who were at a very general demand at improved
prices. A similar feeling was shown on th,
course, Alsatia also improved, and Ellerdale, after being
greatly at a discount, came with a rush at the last, axle
closed at five points less than was currently offered an
hour before. With regard to the Farmer's Daughter
who was scratched at half-past eight o'clock in th.
morning, we should mention that a rumour in afloat tt
the effect, that her sudden disappearance from the
betting arose ,from lameness, caused by an injury
inflicted, purposely, with the intention of making her
"safe." John Day, we understand, has obtained a clu'
to the principals. We regret to add that the suspicion
of foul play is not confined to the Danebury stable.
In concluding our notices of the week's proceedings
we can say that throughout, the regulations, except on th(
first day, when so much time was lost, they were carried
into effect satisfactorily. The arrangements of Mr
Lumley, the new caterer for the grand stand, and of hit
chef de cuisne, Mr. Davis, were characterised by great
taste and judgment. The weather was magnificent, but
though it drew to the course a far more than the usual
number of the middle class, it failed to attract to th(
grand stand more than a moderate collection et female
rank and fashion. It seems evident, iudeed, that increase'
railway accommodation will impair Epsom as a rendez
vous of the beau monde, whilst it will make it a vastl3
mole frequented one for all the other classes. The onl)
Furious coincidence of the week was that the sane,
Jockey (Templeman) won both the great events, singe-
larly agreeing with the fact, very unusual, that another
jockey (S. Day) carried each of them off last year.
e subjoin a sketch of the day's sport, which, trop
the profusion of heats, was not brought to a close unit
nearly clght o'clock ! Pity that at a great meeting lilt.this such abominations as heats should be tolerated.
