fo.d and Mr. Bevill—the former for choice.

To- mellow, the day devoted to the cross-country
work, the racing will commence with a Free Handicap
Steeplechase, of 5 eevs. each, with ?5 added, over three
miles of grouud. This suet-, in all probability, should

The above were sold without their engagements; but
if the purchaser of either of the lots should wish to start
for any engagement, ho will be allowed to do so on pay-
ing half tue stake to the stakeholder, nnd, if he wins,
one-third of the stakes to Sir Joseph Hawley.
The names of the actual purchasers did not transpire,
but we ascertained that Caloric, Apbrodiii, and The
Ban, go into Lumley's stable, and Pluck into Rogers's;
Confessor, we believe, returns into T. Taylor's stable.
The total produce of the sale was 5,564 guineas.
