Betting-2 to 1 agst The Pitman, G to 1 each agst
Courier and Neoptolemus, 8 to 1 each agst Feodorowna,
Donizetti and York, 9 to 1 agst Plumper.
As they passed the Stand, Plumper, Feodorowna, and
Schism alternately showed in advance, the last two being
Harriet and Tho Gift. As they made for the top turn,
however, Plumper took a decided lead, but was soon passed
by Joyeuse, Seclusion being third, Neoptolemus fourth,
Pitman and Feodorowna next. On going down the hill
Feodorowna took a long lead, Donizetti following on second,
Schism third, and Plumper next, the lot being well together.
At the Brick-kiln turn Feodorowna dropped back, and
Neoptolemus took the lead, with Plumper in close attend-
ance, Feodorowna, Courier, and Pitman running nearly
abreast at their heels. At the last turn Plumper came
away, and, swerving from the lower to the upper ground
and back again, at the finish won by three lengths; a
length separating the second and third ; two lengths be-
tween the third and fourth. The fifth was close up. All
the others pulled up in a body before reaching the chair.
Two objections were lodged against the winner; one on
the ground that the rider dismounted before returning t
the saddle enclosure, and the other on the ground of a cross.
The stewards investigated the charges after the race for the
£lOO Plate, and confirmed the judge's decision.

Suburban, 30 to 1 agst "White Rose, 33 to 1 agst Ticket-of-
Leave.

This event has of late years furnished the prettiest race
of the meeting, and on this occasion it was true to its charac-
ter. Considerable delay took place at the post, not owing
to the fractiousness of any particular horse, but principally
attributable to the perversity of certain jockeys who obsti-
nately refused to listen to the directions or obey the com-
mands of the starter. Immediately after the race Mr. Hib-
bard lodged a complaint against the most prominent de-
linquents—W. Bottom, Drew, J. Snowden, and Gardner ;
and the stewards marked their sense of their conduct by
severely reprimanding Bottom, and by suspending Gardner
for two months, and J. Snowden and Drew until after

Hampton.
The horses were above the hill in a line, and it was a
matter of difficulty to distinguish the front lot, so similar
were many of the colours, and so frequently did they shift
and disappear. When the eye became accustomed to the
glistening hues of the riders as they descended the hill
towards the road, the green jacket of Suburban showed
in front, and in a line with him were Horace, Tyrant, Cock-
a-Hoop, M. Philipe, Cheesecake, Woodburn bringing up
the rear. As they nearei the distance, Cheesecake took a
slight lead, and Crater went on in attendance upon her,
headed her at the stand, and won by half a length ; three
lengths between the second and third, Suburban was a bad
fourth, and Man-at-Arms fifth, the others were pulling up
when they passed the post.
The Fern Hill Stakes of 15 soya each, 5 ft, with 100 added ;

At the Grand Stand Blisworth and Daughter of the Star
filly camo out, Blisworth seeming to have the best of it to
within a few strides of the chair, where the winner collared
him and beat him by a neck; three lengths between the
second and third, and a head between the third and fourth.
The Concertina colt, King of Kent, Willoughton, Water-
witch, and Odo were next. Amy, Morella, and Dandolo,
were the last three.

Betting.-6 to son Neophyte-3 to 1 agst King of the
Forest-8 to 1 agst any other.
Neophyte made running half way, when King of the
Forest went to the front, followed by Ticket of Leave, the
two running a fine race home, the former winning by a
neck; a bad third. Orcus was fourth, the others pulling
up as they passed ;the Stand. Colonel Townely claimed
the winner.

The " Off Day," as usual, furnished a sufficient quantity
of racing to constitute a " GI,- eat Day" at any other meet-
ing. Although there were two walks over, yet the pro-
ceedings were far from being tedious, and the larga fields
kept bookmakers busy in the, Ring, and the officials actively
employed in the Stands. Until long after the breakfast
hour rain fell heavily, but by noon the sun came out, and
nothing marred a full enjoyment of the sport. The return
which we give of the racing, -renders elaborate remarks un-

necessary. The Royal Hunt Cup was carried off by Crater,
whose success created general satisfaction in the Ring ; not
because the horse was at a long price, but because he is the
property of one f the most straightforward men who have
for a number of years been on the turf. Isaac Woolcot,
the trainer, came in for a large share of congratulation,
because the horse was sent to the post in admirable condi-
tien, and also because Woolcot proved the accuracy of his
judgment when he stated that "according to the trial
Crater could not lose."

THE LATE STORM.

GREAT YARMOUTH, JUNE G.
Up to this date the little that has been heard
of the missing fishing boats, as reported in the Sun
of Tuesday, has served only to confirm the most
dismal apprehensions. The lugger Champion bas
been picked up disabled, with her nets entangled
about her, as if the storm swept away the unfortu-
nate crew before they had time to haul in: Part
of the stern of the smack Prince of Wales has also
been picked up, leaving little doubt as to her fate.
The missing vessels are the Contest and the Atalanta,
the property of Mr. Shuckford, who was owner also
of the Champion ; the Stamboul, a cruiser, belong-
ing to Mr. Utting ; the Paymaster, to Messrs. B.
and R. Ferm ; the Three Sisters, to Mr. J. F. Neave ;
the Planet, to Mr. Smith ; the Sylph, to Messrs.
Freeman and Bishop ; and another, the property
of Mr. H. Swann. The Royalist, of Gorleston, Mr.
Fisk's, and the James and Ann, of Sheringham,
Mr. Wests's, which sailed from this harbour,
together with four luggers and two cutters from
Lowestoft and two Yarmouth smacks, are also
among the missing. These luggers were manned
each by nine or ten men and one boy, and the smacks
by about half the number; so that the loss of fisher-
men on this part of the soast, and within a distance
of about a dozen miles, will fall very little short of
200 ; the number lost from Yarmouth alone is about
130. The number of families ruined, of women made
widows, and children fatherless by this appalling
calamity is painful to contemplate, the number of
children alone being upwards of 200. We under-
stand that a public appeal will be made on behalf
of these poor creatures who are now utterly desti-
tute, and surely Heavenborn charity never expended
itself on more deserving objects l The fishermen
here are abso'utely panic stricken numbers of boats
are lying idle in the roads, the men refusing to go
to sea. Several owners have made up for the season,
and landed their nets, so disheartened are they by
this havoc of their property. The pecuniary loss
directly entailed on the town, cannot be less than
£lO,OOO, and, as fishing is the staple trade of
the port, a large capital being invested in it,
and thousands of poor men living throughout the
year on what they are able to earn in the season,
it is difficult to estimate the indirect effects of the

catastrophe. On Monday six vessels sailed tc; the
North Sea in the expectation of being able to ascer-
tain some tidings of the missing boats or their
crews, but not a human being here cherishes the
faintest hope of their safety. It is a most remark-
able circumstance that these boats were in most
cases commanded by some of the oldest and moat
experienced masters belonging to this port.
