No less than a dozen races were timed for this day's
amusement, eleven of which came off, affording an
amount of sport seldom witnessed in the spring. Of
course, an early start was indispensable; and thus (the
first event being fixed for twelve o'clock) many parties
who lett town by the nine o'clock train, lost the pleasure
of witnessing the first three or four races. Notwith-
standing the list was so inviting, the gloomy and un-
seasonable state of the weather had a marked effect on
the attendance, which fell short, both i❑ number and
quality, if we may judge from the preparations, and the
great importance attached to the Two Thousand Guinea
Stakes. It will be otherwise to-morrow; a brilliant
company is confidently anticipated. We have, as usual,
given the time in which the different races were run.
The stickyness of the grcund will account for its being,
in most cases, below the average.

TWO THOUSAND GUINEAS STAKES.
Even on Blaze, 4 to I agst Fern (t). 4 to 1 agst Flat-
catcher. All Lord Exeter's, Sesostris, Primrose, and
Fallow-deer, are scratched. It seems very doubtful
Glendower will run. Luadstone is also doubtful.
