in such a matter. Tt was the merchants themselves
who should do so. If the hon. gentleman wished to
have the matter discussed, the proper course for him
to pursue was to make a motion upon the subject.
Alderman ROSE said he thought it was clear that
the application that had been made by a number of
respectable merchants had not been treated as it
should have been, and he gave notice that at the
next Court he should make a motion upon the
subject.
The Court then adjourned.

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-
burd 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. Snowdon 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 neared 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.

I The " Off Day," as usual, iv anished a sufficient quantity
of racing to constitute a" Ore at Day" at any other meet-
ing. Although there were two walks over, yet the pro-
ceedings were far from being tedious, and the largo fields
kept bookmakers busy in the R ing, and the officials actively
employed in the Stands. Ut ail long after the breakfast
hour rain fell heavily, but by noon the sun came out, and
nothing marred a full enjoynat nt of the sport. The return
which we give of the racing-n adore elaboraite remarks tut-
