NORTHAMPTON RACES.—(TuEsDAY.)
This day's list afforded rather more racing than was
4,l,ticipated; and, considering the circumstance under
ankh it was increased, and showery state of the wea-
ther, more than was desirable; the first race having
come
"loff, a field of fourteen horses'showed at the post for
e Althorp Park Stakes, the greatest number ever as-
tlerabled together for a two-year-old stake at Northamp-
-4/11, and therefore well calcnlnted to give eclat to the
meeting.
Unfortunately, through some unaccountable
blundering of the flags, four of the fourteen were pulled
tip immediately after starting, their jockies concluding
tilt to be a false start, They were--Beverlac, Little Red
'4l,(liag Hood, Mother Cary's Chicken, and Lucy Ashton.
The other ten ran the distance, and a very fine race

tween Woodcraft and the Sheriff terminated in favour
isf. the latter by a bead. On returning to the stand to
Weigh, a cry of " No start" greeted the jockies, and
each, it is said, it was declared to be by the starter. In
eo tigequenee, all but Publican and Protection, who were
convinced," proceeded to the post again, and, as it is
is setted, 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,
