EPSOM RACES. May 27.

The number of stakes now run for, the large increase in
the public money added to them, and the precision with
which everything relating to the meeting is now conducted,
afford abundant evidence that the new system works well.
The proprietors of horses are under no slight obligation to
the resident stewart (Baron de Tessier) for the attractions
held out to them and the facilities afforded ; and the public
are not less indebted to him for the attention paid to their
safety, accommodation, and comfort on the Downs. We
do not exceed the truth in stating, that the details of the
meeting, as now ordered, are unsurpassed at any place in
the kingdom, equalled by few, and are the more deserving
of commendation from the numberless difficulties that pre-
sented themselves when the races came under the superin-
tendence of the " Reform Committee." The " ways and
means," under able financiers, have been so liberally sup-
plied, that, independently of considerable sums expended
on the Downs, the sums added to the various stakes
double the amount given in 1831, and that without being
forced to an issue of Exchequer Bills." Much has been
done on the Downs in the way of improvement ; the prin-
cipal alteration is in the Derby Course, commencing
at the Barn, where it takes a much wider sweep than
formerly; this new part is in length about a quarter of '
a mile, is full eighty !eet wide, and entirely does away
with the dangerous turn at Tattenham corner. The hill
is quite as trying as before, it-not being deemed .good po-
licy to alter in the slightest degree the character of the
Derby Course for severity. The new ground is quite
ready, but the stewards have decided not to bring it into
use this year, conceiving it probable that objections might
be raised by parties who have horses in the race, or are,
betting on it. Several large pits in various parts of the.
Downs have been filled up, and great attention paid to all
the gallops—strong oak posts and smooth rails placed all
round the inside of Tattenham's Corner, and the roads
turned, which will have the effect of making the course
much safer than before. These alterations have been
principally designed and superintended by Mr. Weeks,
who has for a long period been employed in improving the,
Newmarket Heath. The collection on the ground is noid

let by tender, and thrown entirely open to public competil.
tion ; for the present meeting it was taken at five hundred!
guineas ! We should not omit to mention, that, to ame-
liorate the pressure and inconvenience generally complained
of at the Ewell Gate, a new road has been cut leading im-
mediately from it to the centre of that town, and avoiding
the awkward corner near the church. It will be found of
essential service on the Derby day.

The attendance yesterday was fully as good as is gene-
rally found on the first day, the visiters having on their
route received a disagreeable foretaste of what may be ex-
pected on the Derby day, if the weather hold till then.
Those who anticipate a " trait" will not be disappointed,
for all the dust in the county appears to have selected this
line of road to do honour to the occasion. The tailors,
dressmakers, and publicans are certainly under great obli-
gations to the contractors, who, instead of watering the
roads, very confidently employ their horses in agricultural
purposes, a plan invariably adopted by them, whenever any
racing meeting occurs to require more than ordinary atten-
tion to the public convenience. The Grand Stand was •
opened at the same moderate scale of charge as last
year, and' was patronised by the fashionable part of the
company. Besides many others, we observed the follow-
ing distinguished individuals :—Duke of Rutland, Mar-
quis of Conyngham, Marquis Graham, Earl and Coun-
tess Wilton, Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, Earl
Stradbroke, Earl Jersey, Earl of Uxbridge, Earl of
March, Count Matuscewic, Lord G. H. Bentinck, Lord
Sydney Osborne, Lord John Fitzroy, Lord Fitzroy Len-
nox, Lady Arundel, 'Sir 111. Wood, Sir L. Glyn, Sir G.
Heatheote, Hon. Mr. Arundel, Hon. Colonel and Mrs.
Anson, Hon. Berkeley Craven, Hon. Captain Rouse Hon.

Mr. Irby, Colonel Peel, Colonel Chaplin, Colonel Udny,
lion. Augustus Berk:.ley, Captain Byng, Captain Grant,
Captain Ricardo, Captain Giirdnor, Captain Martyn, Cap-
tain Hunter, Mr. and Mrs. Dottin, Mr. and Mrs. Neave,
Mr. H. Goodricke, Air. Greville, Mr. Payne, Mr. Wor-
rall, Mr. A. Hunter, Mr. F. Charlton, Mr. Spalding,
Mr. Clive, Mr. Cottrell,,Mr.Delme Radcliffe, Mr. Biggs,
Mr. Batson, Mr. Stonehewer, Mr. S. Stanley, Mr. Cosby,
Mr. T. Cosby, &e. &c..
The racing commenced at one o'clock, and was pro-
longed till half-past five, the number of stakes to be de-
cided being greater than formerly. The following will be
found to contain an accurate statement of the sport :
The races came off as follow :
The Craven Stakes of 10 soya. each, for 3-yrs.-old, Est: ;
4 yrs., Bst. ; 5 yrs., Bst. 91b. ; 6 yrs., 9st. 21b. ; and
aged, 9st. 51b. Mile and quarter. 8 subs. '
Lord Chesterfield's b. h. Colwick, 6 yrs (Ezird) 1
Colonel Peel's b. h. Clarion, 6 yrs....(Pavis) 2
The following also started, but were not placed:—
Mr. Watts's eh. c. Belshazzar, 4 yrs. (Darling)
Captain Gardnor's Messenger, 5 yrs. (G. Edwards)
Sir G. Heathcote's ch. c. Samarcand, 4 yrs. (Buckle)
Sir L. Glyn's b. g. by Blacklock, 3 yrs. ( S. Day, jun. )
Mr. Mills's b. c. Old Bill, 3 yrs. (S. Rogers)
Mr. Grant's b. c. Unicorn, 3 yrs. (Lad)
BETTING.-11 to 8 agst. Belshazzar' 5 to 1 agst.
Colwick, 6 to I agst. Clarion, 7 to 1 agst. Messenger, Bto
1 agst. Samarcand, and Bto 1 agst. Old Bill. Belshazzar
took the lead at a strong pace, Messenger, Samarcand, and
Clarion lying next him, and Colwick in the rear ; there
was not any material change of position till they were
round Tattenham's corner, where Colwick joined the front
ranks, the Worthless gelding taking upon himself the duty
of whipper-in. At the distance-post Belshazzar declined,
his place in the van being immediately occupied by Col-
wick, who, maintaining it to the finish, won cleverly by
two lengths, Clarion second, Messenger and Belshazzar a
couple of lengths astern of him (each claiming the third
place), Samarcand fifth, Unicorn sixth, Old Bill seventh,
and Worthless last. It will be recollected that Colwick,
Clarion, and Belshazzar ran for the Craven Stakes at
Newmarket, and that they came in precisely as above ;
there was this difference, however, in the manner of run-
ning--that the Newmarket Craven Meeting was slow and
won by a head, while its namesake at Epsom was very fast,
and won in a canter. Its result drove Bubastes back in
the Derby betting.
Produce Sweepstakes of 100 sore. each, h. ft.

THE DERBY.

In giving the following list of the jockeys expected to
ride for this great race, we do not pledge ourselves for its
accuracy, as much uncertainty prevails on the subject.

__

No jockey has yet been appointed for Sir M. Wood's
Brother to Marpessa, nor is it known who will ride
Noodle ; should either Pincher- or Old Bill run, E. Pavis
will ride ; it is still doubtful who will be put on Plenipo-
tentiary, as a report has been circulated that Arnull will
be shifted from Morotto, nor is it quite certain whether
Bubastes will be jockeyed by Scott or Darling. Besides
the horses named Valet, Famous, Alexis, Nice, and Mus-
quito are here, about whose starting doubts are expressed.
The field is not expected to exceed twenty-five.

hereditary honours, it includes every individual in the
remotest degree allied to those families ; so that its
collateral information is now considerably more copious
than that of any similar work hitherto published. The
Lines of Descent have likewise been greatly enlarged
and numerous historical and biographical anecdotes,
together with several curious and rare papers, have
been supplied. The Peerages under discussion in the
House of lords (a new feature in. such a work) are
minutely detailed, and the claims upon which the
respective petitioners to Parliament pray the resters-
Lion of their honours are fully explained, .
