DATit RACES WEDNFSDAY.

Witlt the east wind in the ascendant there was a
decided falling off in the attendance, nor (lid the card,
with the exception of the Weston S ekes, promise much.
This, however, went far to relieve an otherwise rather flat
(lay, as some of the best of the piling form of the year met
in it. Lady. Elizabeth, Blue Gown, Grimston, Forest
King, and Uncas were all go, public performers, and the
three first Rmalised for winning. Grimston looked all
a winner witi.in the distance, Lut seemed to tire in the
last strides, and Fordham, by dint of fine riding, manage 'l
to land Lady Elizabeth by a heal. The Somersetsltire
Stakes brought out a wretched field of four, but, the
-
finish. between Gotnera and Douro was a close one, and
the favourite won only by a neck. Though the fields
were small this afternoon, the racing was good, as heads
and necks w, re quite the order of the day. Steamboat
and Black Prince made another of those close finishes, the
professional outriding the amateur when it came to close

quarters. •
The Derby betting was chiefly remarkable for the rapid
advance of Van Amburgh, who, it was reported, has been
sold to Mr. Chaplin for 6,500 guineas. Seven to one was
taken at ono time about him, but he declined a point
at the close. The favourites were firm at
.5 to 2, aa d
a noble lord gave the finishing blow to The Hermit by
laying 5,000 to 100 against him in fhb early part of the
day.

Libertine cut out the work, attended by Caithness and
John Davis, with Wild Moor last to the top turn, when
the favourite passed Caithness, and in company with Che-
valier d'Esprit drew ahead of Libertine at the mile post,
the three running in company round the bottom turn.
Here Wild Moor headed Caithness, and speedily gained
upon the leaders as they made the bond into the straight
when, hanging considerably, he struck one of the pasts,
and came heavily to the ground, severely shaking little
Butler. At the distance Chevalier d'Esprit appeared to
have the best of the favourite, but as they neared the
stand Fordhatn made his effort, and got up in the last
stride and won by a head ; a bad third.

. After several failures they were despatched from the
post in close company, the Fawn holding a slight lead on
the right of her horses, attended by Formosa, Weather
Isle, and Uncas; and on their left were seen the
colours of Grimston, Forest King, and Lady Eliza-
beth, the latter being next the rails, close in
whose wake came the favourite, who appeared to
have got badly off. They ran thus to the entrance
of the cords, where they began to spread, and shortly after
Wells brought Blue Gown and followed the leader to the

distance, where Gritnstou, with Lady Elizabeth at his
girths, drew away, and came on clear of their horses, and
finished a splendid race home, Fordham just getting up in
the last stride, and lauding Lady Elizabeth the winner by
a head. Blue Gown, who was twice disappointed in getting
through, finished third, two lengths in their rear; Weather
Isle fourth ; Formosa fifth ; Forest King sixth; and Uncas
next. The last two were-11%11,1ra and Candies Colt.

Osprey was the first away, and notwithstanding he

length, the latter defeating The Returned by a neck for
second honours. The winner was bought in for 105

Needle Gun was the first away, and made the running,
followed by Black Prince, the favourite, and Retribution,
Stockinger lying off to the mile post. Here the leader
dropped back, and the running was then taken up by
Steamboat, who, in company with Retribution and Black
Prince, carried it on into the straight, when Lord St.
Vincent's representative was beaten, and resigned in favour
of Black Prince, who challenged the favourite half-way
in the distance, but failing to quite get up, was beaten
after a punishing finish, by a head. Stockinger was a bad
third. The others, who were pulling up, Were beaten off
some distance.

Some delay was occasioned by the vagaries of Cranbury
at the post, which, being likely to be continuous, Payne
dismounted and waited by the side of his fractious animal
like a dismounted dragoon, and vaulting into his saddle at..
the moment the flag was lowered, ho bounded away many
lengths in advance, and as ho made the turn into the
straight was upwards of half a dozen lengths in advance of
Queen of Trumps, Commissioner, Nike, and Xi, Ostreger,
who jumped round at the fall of the fl v, being left at the
post. Payne, who came on without stirrups, kept the
old horse going, and won with ridiculous ease by half a

ROYAL S WEDIS IL
The annual meeting of this company was held yes-
terday, at the London Tavern ; Mr. W. Hartridge
in the chair.
Mr. Hillier, the secretary, .having read the notice
convening the meeting, the report, an abstract of
which has appeared in The San, was taken as read.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said it contained ample information as to
the condition of the undertaking, so as tc enable
the shareholders to form their own opinion. The
receipts had slightly increased, w:.ile working ex-
penses were heavier than usual, owing to the pre-
valence of bad weather, which had injured the road
and rendered it necessary to expend more than
usual on its maintenance. They would have had a
larger traffic on the line if it were not for the
monetary crisis of last year, which had the effect of
checking mercantile transactions. The directors
had prepared, for the information of the share-
holders. a map of the undertaking in connexion
with the State and other lines of railway in
Sweden. They had been informed in the last re-
port that an independent company were promoting
a line, 15 English miles in length, from the com-
pany's line into the mineral district. The people
in the district had interested themselves in raising
funds for the purpose, and the Government, as usual
in such cases, had subscribed half the capital, on
condition that the other half should be raised by
others. The bill was passed by the Legislature
authorising the line from Arboga to Doping, where
it would form a junction with the Doping and Ut-
tersburg Railway. The new line would be ten

miles in length, and the dire tors felt bound to
give what assistance they could towards its con-
struction, and it was expected that it would be
ready for traffic in September or October next.
The works were progressing satisfactorily, and the
company had subscribed for 440 shares of £5 Ils.
ld. each, the chairman took 50 shares, and if the
proprietors would take the retnaiuder there would
be no difficulty in the matter. The prospects of

the company would be much improved by the
completion of the line from Arboga to Doping.

The estimated cost was £17;777, of which the Go-
vernment had sub Scribed £8,838. The c nnpany
were to work the line when completed, and a sink-
ing fund was t 6 be established, by which the share
capital would be pi,' off in the course of 15
years, ;together with 5 per cent. interest. The Go-
vernment had made a stipulation that in case they
should hereafter purchase the line they were to b 3
allowed the £8,883 they had subscribe I to .vards its
construction. To do any good with those lines the
company must be able to show that they earned
their own living. He had no doubt that they would
be able to keep up the payment of the 23. per obli-
gation, and add something to it. Oa the comple-
tion of the new line they would have a mineral
traffic from the Uttersburg line over their own line
to Orebro, and so on to the State line, via lialsberg
and Askersund. The traffic from Nora would go
over the other portion of their line on to the Go-
vernment line. The proposed branch line from
Linde to Frovi would bring £3,000 a year traffic on
their line. The directors deeply regretted the death
of their highly-estimated colleague Mr. S. E. von
Hofsten,. the late chairman of the Swedish Board,,
who had rendered eminent services to the company.
He believed the line was now in a better position
than it ever was before, but it would never realise
the profits it was originally estimated to yield. lie
hoped, after the obligation holders were satisfied,
that the preference shareholders would get some-
thing.

Mr. F. L. AUSTEN seconded the motion for the
adoption of the report. He said the Government
had made 360 miles of State lines, and that there
was not the same inducement now that formerly
existed to purchase their line. He thought, how-
ever, that in about three or fonr years hence the
prospects of the company would much improve, and
that the bondholders and preference shareholders
would get dividends. The company had subscribed
£2,200 towards the Arboga and Doping line, of
which £l,lOO had been paid. The inhabitants in
the district and the Government hud subscribed the
rest.

The report was unanimously adopted ; the pay-
ment on and after the Ist of July next at 2s. per
obligation on account of arrears of interest due
thereon was agreed to; and a vote of thanks to the
chairman and directors concluded the pro6ediug s.
