GORHAMBURY RACES.-TUESDAY.

The late hour at which the races terminated; puts it out of
our power to enter so fully into details as their merits de-
served. We can only state briefly, that the great improvement
Wrought into the character of the meeting by its removal, from
No-man's-land to Lord Verulam's beautiful park, has been
fully appreciated in the sponing circles, and that the nomina-
tions for the various stakes warranted expectations which were
wore than realized by the quantity and excellence of the sport
yesterday afternoon.
Tempted as much by the fineness of the weather as by the
plethoric appearance of the list, the metropolitans, amateur as
well as processional, availed themselves of the eleven o'clock
train, and continu:ng their journey by the conveyances provided
at the Watford terminus, reached the course in ample
time for the first race. The country folks also mustered in
great force, and the attendance
.generally was quite up to the
average. Of rank and fashion, owing to the long-winded de-
bate on the sugar duties, and to the melancholy death of Sir F.
Johnstone, which shortened the list of visitors at Gorhambury
House, the proportion was not so large as usual; nevertheless,
that there was a goed sprinkling of both, the names given
underneath will prove.
The arrangements on the course were, in most respects, the
same as last year, and were equally successful in maintaining
order, and promoting the comfort aad amusement of the
spectators. We may add, that the course was in the best pos-
sible order for running, and that the erection of a small, but
convenient Grand Stand adjoining the weighing stand, and
having no inclosed space in front, proved a most welcome
accommodation.

We subjoin the customary returns.

mare, went off in front, the former leading for rather more
than a quarter of a mile; she _then fell in the rear, and the
running was made to the top of the hill by the Brocard mare,
a ruck of horses following so close, that it would be difficult to
say which was in front. The Genius now took up the running,
followed by Clinker and Bosphorus, and in this order they
finished, the Genius winning easy by a couple of lengths. Bos-
phorus, Bedford, and Molineaux were tolerably well up, but all
