ODIHAM RACES-MONDAY.

The Stockbridge authorities having decided to perma-
nently extend their meeting to three days necessitated the
Odiham management to celebrate their anniversary a day
earlier, and accordingly the Hampshire campaign was in-
augurated to-day on Bartley-common, where there was a
numerous attendance, especially of the holiday people who
annually come all round and square to assist at the com-
paratively rustic reunion. A good many of the regular
followers of racing were tempted by the well-filled pro-
gramme to make a halt on their way to Stockbridge, and

the railway company, with a view to the better accom-
modation of their patrons, ran a special train to Winchfield
this morning, and made arrangements for travellers going
on to Stockbridge or returning to London. Contrary to
custom the weather was fine, and for once the holiday folks
had a good opportunity of enjoying—Gemselves. The course,
which is situated about a mile and a half from Odiham and
five from Winchfield, was beautiful going. As will be seen
from the appended return, the anticipation formed on the
excellent entries of large fields wore not held out, and not
a single animal from the Danebury stables contested any
of the races. The card contained eight items, commencing
at half-past one with the Manor Plate, and concluding at
five with the Grey Well-hill Plate. Details of the day's
sport are appended ; itnd it may bo remarked that the bet-
ting on future events was nil.
