LEE RACES.
Tiw:se races commenced yesterday, and in spite of a most unwise
7bposition raised by certain parties, who seem to have no other
lc'et than the entire abolition of all popular amusements, went off
with the most complete success. During the whole of the after-
noon Deptford, Greenwich, Lewisham, &c., were in a state of ex-
riernent, while the course, which is formed out of two large fields
jng immediately between' Blackheath and Lee, was crowded till
etween seven and eight o'clock. The weather was favourable, the
arrangements,. liberal and judicious, and the sport excellent. The
