most fastidious could have desired. A heavy storm of
hail, rain, and snow, then came on, and up to midday
the prospect was cheerless in the extreme. The re-
mainder of the day, with the exception of two or three
slight showers, was favourable, and a very large company
were enabled to enjoy some of the fiuest racing ever
witnessed, including a dead heat with three, a very
severe contest for the great event (to which we must not
look for the winner of the Oaks), and a head-and-head
struggle with three for her Majesty's guineas.
