M A LTON SPRING ST EEPLE CHA S ES. WEDNESDAY.
Stewards: Sir Charles Legard, Bart., Henry Darley, Esq.,
and 11. H. Foster, Esq. Judge and Handicapper : Mr.
H. Johnson. Starter and Clerk of the Scales: Mr. W.
Elliott. Clerk of the Course : Mr. R. Boultou.
This capital meeting brought together a largo assem-
blage of the gentry and others from York and the va-
rious towns in the distriet. Early in the morning special
trains began to arrive, and by the hour set down for the
sport to commence (1.30), Melton presented a most ani-
mated appearance. The stand and enclosure were ex-
ceedingly well occupied by a fashionable company, toge-
ther with a good sprinkling of the professional eleinett.
The course is a new one, situated about a quarter of a
mile from the town. It is one mile and a quarter in cir-
cuit, consisting entirely of grass land, and containing 10
fences and one hurdle, a fine view of the races being
afforded throughout. The card contained four items, the
whole of which brought out capital fields, and afforded
much excitement. The proceedings on the- whole gave
general satisfaction, and taking into consideration its
being the first meeting under the present committee, we
consider it quite a success.
