The opening day of the above fixture was characterised
by cold weather, a bitter east wind blowing in the teeth of
the fair number of spectators who had assembled on the
course with the true racing heroism which was never yet
daunted by unpropitious skies. The proceedings com-
menced at two o'clock with the Lansdowne Trial Stakes,
which set the example for the miserable fields which were
to follow, with only three runners. The marvellous
" miler" Ostreger made a terrible example of Crown
Prince and old Queen of Trumps, whose owners pre-
sumed to oppose him, as he gave them both weight and
cantered in 30 lengths ahead of them. The "sensation"
race of the day followed in the Fifteenth Biennial. This
race was thought so good a thing for Wroughton that
odds were freely laid on Mr. Cartwright's colt, upon the
strength of his having run the present first favourite for
the Derby to a head at Newmarket. Never, perhaps, was
there a stronger case of " misplaced confidence," as Mr.
Fleming's hitherto dangerous " outsider" for the "blue
riband," won with tha most ridiculous ease by 15 lengths.
This beim certainly justifies his owner's enthusiastic re-
mark about the horse, after his recent victory at Ascot,
which was to the effect that " Van" was the best horse in
Europe. What can get in front of such a "clipper" over
the Epsom Downs on Wednesday next will be a puzzle
for the astutest turf prophet ever "foaled" to solve, not-
withstanding that as, much as 12 to 1 was obtainable about.
the slashing son of Van Galen. The Two Year Old
Biennial proved the "good thing" it looked for.Grimston,
who hinded the odds of 100 to 30 laid on him very easily. The
Beaufort Cup resulted arusual in a great surprise, for not-
withstanding the form displayed by lloulsey, it was gene-
rally supposed that he could not got the distance, and as
much as 4 to 1 was betted against him, while 6 to 4 was
on Lecturer, who was beaten "into fits," thus show-
ing what a chance Lord Bateman lost of carrying off the
Chester Cup by one of those unfortunate scrimmages which
are sure to take place over the Ehoodee Course. Tumbler
gave another proof of his previous form in the County
Members' Plate, which concluded an interesting day's
sport. As usual at this meeting there was some important
betting on the Derby. In addition to the movement which
took place in connection with Van Amburgh, seine notable
speculation arose about Vauban and The Rake, the first
named receding toes much as 3 to 1, at which price ho was
backed for £lOO, and would have been supported for more
money, but that 5 to 2 was only obtainable afterwards.
An offer was then made to back The Rake against Vauban
for an even thousand, which was accepted the moment it
was offered by the Duke of Beaufort, who subsequently
doubled the bet, and this emphatic support had the effect
of giving the Two Thou Sand winner a call over The Rake,
their prices at the close being sto '2 ud3to 1. Beyond
these three animals none of the other Derby candidates
wore affected, and except that 1,000 to 15 was taken about
Ben Nevis and Tynedalo coupled, no other transactions
took place at the time. The details of the running are as
follow :

a good start. Alcazar, Whirligig, and the favourite lying
almost abreast, but after a few strides had been taken
Wroughton got quite level with Alcazar, who was about a
neck in front of Whirligig, Van Amburgh being fourth,
and Man of Ross last, and in this order they ran for about
half a mile, when Wroughton, Alcazar, and Whirligig
again got level, Van Amburgh being still in the fourth
position. After about half the distance had been traversed,
Van Amburgh drew up to the leaders, Alcazar and Whirli-
gig simultaneously dropping into the rear, and Van Am-
burgh, waiting on Wroughton to half way up the straight,
came away and won in a canter by 15 lengths. Man of
Ross was a bad third, Alcazar fourth, and Whirligig last.

with a slight lead of Exceller, Red Riband, and Knight
Errant, Povensey bringing up the rear, and they ran in
this order for a quarter of a mile, when Exceller was
beaten and Vixen took up the running, Knight Errant
going on in advance of the °filers, who were all close up
with Goojerat with the exception of Exceller. As they
rounded the bend Vixen was beaten, and the Knight was
left in front, but in a few strides he was joined by Goojerat,
the pair running a tremendous race home, ending in favour
of Lord Coventry's horse by a head. About a length
separated second and third, Red Riband was fourth, Pe-
vensey fifth, Vixen sixth, and Exceller last.
