Of so great a race 9 to 1 should be currently offered on the
field! Last year it was only 7 to 4. Layers were not wanting,
but the backers appeared resolves to abide the event of the
" draw," it being very naturally inferred that the best horse
in the world, if drawn for the third rank—and a fourth ap-
peared by no means improbable--would have little chance
of finding his way to the front; in short, the saute draw,
combined with the heavy state of the ground; gave the race
the character of a lottery.
The morning was dull, and the appearances were all in the
favour of rain, but this had no effect on the attendance, which
was a " bumper," showing, however, a decided falling off in
rank and fashion as compared with last year. Both the
stands were full, and there can be no doubt that had the en-
largement of the principal one been to double the extent, the
corporation would have had nothing to regret. The weather,
unfo-tunately, was just what might have been anticipated ;
it could not have been more unfavourable. The first race
came off at two o'clock, between which and the Cup an in-
terval of an hour and three-quarters was allowed for weigh-
ing, drawing fur places, &c. As the last-mentioned ceremonial
excited considerable interest, we subjoin a list of the horses
composing the different ranks.
First Rank.—St. Lawrence, Vol-au-Vent, Ruff, Roderick,
Polish, Lady Wildair, Pedometer, Miss Burns, Vital ,
Billy Purvis, and Bro. to Sir Henry.
Second Rank—The Baron, Corranna, Sweetmeat, Mosey,
Queen of Tyne, Little Hampton, Roper's Daughter, Plaudit,
The Magnet, Best Bower.
Third Rank—lnheritress, Intrepid, Redstreak, Pettit
Morceau, Mermaid, Finvaragh, Valerian, Punch, Flehow-
lagh, Connaught Ranger.
In all thirty .one starters. It will be seen that three or
four horses that had been looked upon as certain runners,
did not come to the post ; amongst them were Clumsy, who
is stated to have hit his leg, and was scratched at ten o'clock
this morning; Hope, at twenty-five minutes past eleven, and
Cataract.
The scratching of Hope has excited a very strong feeling
of indignation against Mr. 11. Bennett, and the parties con-
fleeted with him in the ownership. She was received into
slightly amiss some time ago,

PARTICULARS OF THE CUP RACE.
The jockeys, having drawn for places and mmkn • paraded in font of the stand, and assembled at the
postte d, a
little after four, and at the first signal got away. Pedometer .
was the first to take the lead, but, after going two hundred'
yards, was passed by Lady Wildair, who went on with' the
running, followed by Brother to Sir Henry, Pedometer, The
Roper's Daughter,- St. Lawrence, Miss Burns, Vol-au-Vent,
and several others; Corranna, Inheritress, Queen of the Tyne, • •
and Valerian, bringing up the rear. They ran in pretty
nearly this order once round, the pace excellent for such
deep ground. Polish, Vol-au-Vent, Valerian, Sweetmeat,'
and Redstreak, were then disposed of; at all eVents, they •
made no figure in the race afterwards. Fireefereigh herb •

chance. This select lot ran,, togethershalf way- up-the dis-

third heat in a canter, but having carried Gst Glb instead
of Gst 101 b, he was disqualified, and the Feat given to Robin
Burns; but as it was dusk before the matter was laid before
the Earl of Chesterfield, the deciding heat was fixed for the
first race on Thursday.

1 CMESTER, TI I LIRSDAY AFTERNOON FIVE O'CLOCK.—P:ying
and receiving for the Cup commenced this afternoon, in the
apology for a subscription room, at the Royal Hotel, but front
the want of accommodation for the members that crowded
into it, was not concluded when we left for the course.
Until the London and Manchester accounts have been closed,
it would be impossible to speak with any certainty of the
settling, but as we de not hear of any great winnerd, except
Lord Waterford, and Mr. Moor, we may venture to predict
that it will be easy. It was generally understood last night
that Tractarian and Miss Burns were to run a deciding heat
for the Member's Plate at two o'clock this afternoon, but it
having been represented to the stewards that the rider of
Diotued had carried the wrong weight from the first, the
stewards went into the cases this morning, and decided that
Diomed was disqualified for all the heats, and that Traetarian
hakiiig won the first, and run second for the next heat, was
the winner of the plate. The decision made the third heat a
nullity, and of course all bets made after the second heat are
vo iilp
The first event, a race prolific of very interesting sport,
was,
