144' IG II TuN RAC ES —TUESDAY.
A bad conumencement for the second part of the Sussex
fortnight. Torrents of rain and half a gale of wind is not
the state of affairs one would choose for that elevated
plateau on -which Brighton Races are held, and the weather
was the fertile and only theme of conversation this morn-
ing at the Ship and the Grand Hotel. But at the turn of
the tide—i. e., about 2 o'clock—it held up, and the after-
noon turned out tolerably fine.
The Bristol Plate used to boast a better entry and field
than it did to-day, there being only five runners, and a
groat turn up for the fielders in the victory of King's Cross
over the favourite Redcap, on whom they laid 5 to 2. The
Marquis of Hastings's horse seemed winning in a canter as
they came up the hill, but stopped near home, when col-
lared by King's Cross. There was another unexpected
result in Trocadero (who ran well here last year) beating
Van Amburgh in the Biennial. The latter looked much
better than he did at Goodwood last week, but went rather
stiffly, and could not act up the hill. There was a good
finish between Patti and Northern Star in the Rothschild
Stakes, and iu the Brighton, the great event of the day, the
two equal favourites finished first and second, Jezabel not
improving on her Goodwood Stakes turning, and the
weight telling on the Amanda colt.
It was a bad day for favourites, for Banditto, against
whom they lb.id 6 to 5 in the Railway Stakes, succumbed
under the weight and seemed unable to got up the hill ;
and a great performance of Confederate's in the South-
down Stakes, where he gave Reindeer 111 b and won easily
by a length and a half, upset the heavily-backed Lady
Barbara.
The attendance was pretty good, considering the weather.
The Bristol Plate of 50 sovs, for 2-yr-olds and upwards.
Weight for age, with maiden and selling allowances.

Jasmine and Nightwatch also ran.
Betting-5 to 2on Redcap, 7to 1 agst Jasmine, and 10
to 1 agst any other.
Nightwatch was the first away, and came on slightly in
advance of Redcap, the latter having King's Cross on his
right, close up with whom came Ambitious and Jasmine.
They ran thus to the turn, where the favourite took a
slight lead, which ho retained into the bottom. Hero
Nightwatch dropped back, and King's Cross then joined
the Danebury nag, the pair racing together to the com-
mencement of the enclosure, where Redcap was in difficul-
ties, which let up Mr. Graham's colt, who won a close race
by a neck ; Redcap defeating Ambitious by two lengths
for second. Jasmine was a bad fourth. The winner was
sold to the Marquis of Hastings for 200 guineas, who also
claimed Jasmine.

and Northern Star, 100 to 7 agst St. Valentine, 20 to 1 each
agst Pero and Judy Machree, and 25 to 1 agst The Thorn.
A long delay at the post was occasioned by the restiff-
ness of Northern Star and Cock of the Walk, who re-
peatedly broke away. At last they were despatched upon
equitable terms, but immediately after Eau de Vie, on the
left, was seen slightly in advance of Betty, next tko rails,
the pair being followed in the centre by Patti, Northern
Star, Brenda, and Chic in close company ; the others,
headed by Judy Machree, Peace, and Pero, lying close in
their track to the bend into the straight. Here Eau dt) Vie
gave way to Betty, and at the same time Judy Machree
moved to the front, but in so doing something struck into
her and broke her kg. Lord Westmoreland's colt held his
lead undisputed into the bottom, where he declined, and
Northern Star then came on with a slight lead of Patti and
Eau do Vie, who came on together to the Stand, when
Fordham made his effort, headed Mr. Hodgman's colt in
the next half-dozen strides front home, and won a fine race
by a head. Eau do Vie was beaten three lengths for se-
cond ; Adjutant was a bad fourth, Betty fifth, Brenda
sixth, and Chic next. Tho others were pulling up, widely
separated, the last being Thorucroa.

Vigorous overpulling, Quince was the first away, and
came past the stand a length or so in advance of New
Guinea, Jezabel, the Amanda colt, and Knight Errant,
Cheltenham, Pintail, and the Vixen colt acting as whip-
pers-in. When fairly in the bottom Vigorous was pulled
back, and New Guinea showed the way round the bend,
waited upon by Jezabel, Knight Errant, the Amanda colt,
and Mandrake, the lot closing up as they proceeded up the
hill. When fairly round the far turn by the mile-post the
loader was disposed of, and was successively headed by
Jezabel, the Amanda colt, Knight Errant, and Pintail,
Cheltenham shortly after joining the leader, who ran in
company- to the T.Y.C. past. Here Jezabel was beaten,
and her place was taken by the Amanda colt, but when
fairly in the bottom ho was in difficulties and resigned his
prominent position to Knight Errant, the pair being
closely pressed by Cheltenham on his right and Mandrake
next the rails. Halfway up the hill (two distances from
home) Mr. Proctor's colt was hopelessly beaten, and the
race was then left with Knight Errant, Cheltenham, and
Mandrake. Tho three from this point joined issue and ran
together to the Enclosure, where Knight Errant drew
away and won a good race by half a length, Cheltenham
defeating Mandrake by a brace of lengths for second,
Vixen colt was fourth, Amanda colt fifth, Jezabel sixth,
Pintail seventh, Glengarnoch, Vigorous, and New Guinea

in advance of Philosopher, Adamant, and Forest King, the
favourite and Contempt lying wide on the lower ground.
On reaching the bottom Lincoln Green gave way, and Lord
Derby, who bad hitherto been lying off, now joined the
leaders. Half way up Philosopher was joined by Contempt
and Banditto, the three finishing an interesting race home.
Contempt, who took a slight lead at the stand, won very
cleverly by three parts of a length ; a similar distance
separated the second and third ; Lord Derby was fourth,
close up ; Gilbert Hann= fifth, Lincoln Green sixth, and
