RICHMOND.

Olmar has resumed work, but only did a mile
and a quarter to-day. Newland and Violet
went a couple of miles at a nice steady pace ; and
Moldavia took Hawkswell about the same distance.
These four horses are looking and going uncom-
monly well ; they are engaged in the Northumber-
land Plate. Plaudit has been put by Tar a time.
Buchan, Tutel I, Dr. Richardson, and. Shibboleth,
are doing nothing at present. Begum, Empress of
India, and Sujah Dowlab, are in mile and a half
fast work.

with brilliant eclat. The weather, albeit we had
one slight shower, was very pleasant. he attend
ance turned out to be larger than ever (on an in-
auguration afternoon), and the competition was first
class, the cream of the cracks of all ages putting in an
appearance. Of the eigb tprizes that were contended for
two fell to Baron Rothschild, and one each to the
I)uke of Beaufort, Sir. J. Hawley, Sir F. Johnstone,
.11r. James Merry, Mr. Fleming, and Mr. Josephs.

day's fiells with those of the corresponding after-
noon of the preceding anniversary, we find a slight
