EPSOM SPRING MEETING.-TUESDAY.

Although the first reunion on Epsom Downs took place
somewhat earlier than usual, and despite that it preceded
the Northampton Meeting, the opening day was singularly
fortunate, as the weather underwent a marked change in
the very nick of time. Since last Spring, it is worthy of
note, the programme has been thoroughly revised, and in
lieu of £7OO being given as added money to the two days,
the amount from the funds has been increased to some-
thing like £1,500. Not. the least popular feature of the
renovation is the substitution of popular names for those
of plates and sweepstakes; and a most judicious alteration
has been effected in the amalgamation of the two Rail way
Stakes, the £5O added by the London and Brighton Com-
pany having been added to a similar sum given by the South
Western Company, and the race has been appropriately de-
nominated the United Railway Stakes. Two new macs have
also been ostablished,and one of them especially (the Prince of
Wales Handicap) is ore long likely to become exceedingly
popular with owners of horses. This liberality is worthy of
the management, and cannot fail to obtain the support it
deserves. In consequence of an intimation given in the
morning papers that the engine-drivers and firemen on the
London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway had struck
work, and actually turned out on account of their demands
not having been acceded to on the part of the directors 'of
the company, but few people went to the London-bridge
terminus fur transit to Epsom. The few that did go were
told that no special trains could be run, and indeed no time
could be guaranteed for the ordinary ones. This state of
affairs led to an immense pressure upon the resources of
the South-Western Railway Company, and, notwithstand-
ing the short time allowed to prepare extra carriages, the
arrangements proved quite adequate to the requirements of
the public, and no accident attended any of thg numerous
lengthy and heavily-freighted trains, which were run as
soon as filled. The . morning opened beautifully fine and
spring-like, the sun shining out with power and brilliancy
towards nom. The 'downs' were early thronged, and the
galloping of the competitors in the "City and Sub." and
the race of the morrow were eagerly scanned. As the day
wore on, and by the time the racing commenced, there
was an immense assemblage, including all the leading
Ratrons of the national sport. The Prince of Wales arrived
soon after the decision of the first:race on the card, and re-
mained till after the City and Suburban had been run,
when his royal highness left by ordinary train on the
South-Western Railway. The card for to-day was a very
heavy one, comprising as it did no fewer than seven races,
including the City and Suburban Handicap. ' Sport com-
menced punctually at half-past one o'clock with the Trial
Stakes, which induced a field of eight to go to the post,
and of these Moulsey, on the strength of a recent trial at
home, in which the old son of Teddington was said to have
acquitted himself satisfactorily, was made a warm favou-
rite, leaving off at 2to 1. The result confirmed the
judgment of " the talent," as Moulsey won in a cantor by
13 lengths. Eighteen of the 31 coloured for the Stamford
Plate went to the post, and Qui Vivo was made the
favourite, but the issue was in favour of Lord Vivian's
Tumbler, who was backed at 100 to 8. Thirteen con-tested
the Two-year-old Stakes. Ninny, on the strength of her
spring form, notwithstanding the defeat of her stable com-
panion, Nike, being installed first favourite at 7 to 4, while
the winner, Grimston, in The Rake's stable, was backed
at 4to 1. Mr. Pryor's colt made all the running, and won
easily by a couple of lengths, his victory adding to the
list of friends of The Rake. Grimston was purchased at
the Hampton Court sale in June for 420 guineas. For the
event of the day the telegraph board showed 22 runners,
the principal absentees being Longdown, Mount Palatine,
Overture, Conundrum, Little Rover, Mrs. Allen, and Ves-
' pasian. But little speculation took place during the fore-
noon, and as the final quotations aro given fully below, it
will be sufficient here to say that the "thrown in " Ma-
yonaise filly finished first favourite at 3 to 1, and next in
the quotations came Clarice and Foresight. Although
Lord Westmorland made no declaration, when it became
known that Kenyon would steer Foresight the public
rushed on the Liverpool Spring Cup winner, believing him
to be the champion of the "green and silver braid." The
race is fully described below, and the winner turned up in
Abergeldie, one of the 40 to 1 division, and little fancied
by his owner or the public. He was piloted by young
Huxtable, who, it will be remembered, rode Aches in the
Cambridgeshire. The Mayonaise filly cut up badly, as
did also Foresight and Defiance, but. Jasper ran very.for-
midably for a certain distance, and Ostreger, with all his
weight was fifth, while Broomielaw, who displayed his
usual temper was almost last throughout. The remainder
of the racing is fully described below:—

Agnes took a slight lead, but Moulsey, when fairly in the
straight, again went in the front, and won, pulling double,
by 15 lengths. Exceller, who headed Wild Agnes at the
distance, but, finding pursuit hopeless, was eased, and
finished a bad third. Historian was fourth, Overture, close
up, fifth, Panacea sixth, and Langham last.

agst Deceiver, 8 to 1 agst the Catherine Hayes filly, and
100 to 8 agst Tumbler. A somewhat straggling start was
effected, Queen of Trumps, having her head turned the
wrong way, being left at the post. Qui Vive was first
off, having a lead of Tumbler, Deceiver, and Ammunition
on the far side, while Nike, Sir Guy, and British Tar
headed the others.. At the commencement of the stand
enclosure Qui Vive gave way, leaving Tumbler with a
slight lead of Ammunition and Nike, Lord Vivian's colt
winning after a good race by half a length from Ammuni-
tion, who defeated Nike a similar distance for second
place. Qui Vive, close up, was fourth, Deceiver being
well up with him next. At an interval of a couple of
lengths came lies in Urbe, Variation, and the Catherine
Hayes filly, those being succeeded by Prima Donna, the
last four consisting of Quirina, La Mute, Icicle, and Bay
Leaf.

effected, but in a few strides Grimston took up the run-
ning on the lower ground, Forest King and Ninny in the
centre, and Cawdor ou the extreme right, being the most
prominent of the others, Wings of a Dove filly being last
away. After going a quarter of a mile Grimston, Forest
King, flatchtnent, Ninny, and Mars singled themselves
out, but Grimston increasing his lead opposite the stand
won easily by two lengths. Forest King, after a rattling
finish with Ilatchtneut, obtaineA the pony for second
place by about a neck. Clear of the pair came Ninny

Abergeldie, SO to 1 each agst John Halifax, Fitz-Ivan, and
Violent, and 66 to 1 agst any other. The preliminary
canters of the '22 conpetitors were watched with the usual
interest. The start was de!ayed some time by groomielaw,
who displayed his customary temper in walking through
the paddock to the starting-post ; but eventually hiing led
to his,horaes, the flag was at once lowered. Leases, after
going a dozen strides, took up the running, followed by
John Halifax, Amanda colt, Jasper, and Plutus, in a com-
pact body. Slightly in the rear of this division came
Abergeldie, Fitz-lvan, Clarice, Mayonaise filly, Violent,
and the Miss Ann filly; the rear lot comprising Brown
Tommy, Broomielaw, Thalia, and Aruiourer, the last-
named half-a-dozen lengths behind everything. Little
variation occurred in the position cf the leaders for a
quarter of a mile, when a change took place, the first to
crack being John Halifax, Amanda colt., and Mis Ann filly,
their places being taken as they descended the hill by Fore-
sight, Chepstow, Ostreger, Defiance, and Endsleigh. As
they approached Tattenham-corner Clarice ran into second
place, but she could not maintain her position long, and
clisappeared from the front rank, followed by Foresight
and the Mayonaise filly. Running out at the turn, Leases
destroyed whatever chance he possessed ; and Abergeldie
next to the rails, with Fitz Ivan in close attendance, had
the lead. In the centre of the course wore Jasper, Plates,
Violent, and Endsleigh, almost abreast with Defiance, wide
on the right, who now formed the front rank; but these
were shortly reduced by Jasper, Plutus, and Defiance giv-
ing way. Abergeldie maintained his advantage to the
half distance, where Fitz Ivan got on terms with him, but
easily shaking off the challenge of the " Irishman " the
moment his rider called upon him, be won easily by two
lengths. Violent, after a struggle with Endsleigh, finished
third, a length from Fitz Ivan, Endsleigh being a good
fourth, several lengths in advance of Ostreger. Chepstow
was sixth, Clarice seventh, Mayonaiso filly, Defiance, and
Thalia next —the last to pass the post being Foresight,
Plutus, and Aldcroft. Broomielaw and Rose Stock pulled
up opposite the stand.

Betting-9 to 4 agst Chantilly, sto 2 agst Haymarket,
100 to 15 agst the Alice Bray filly, and 10 to 1 each agst
Spitfire, Osprey, and Sultana. One or two breaks-away
occurred before the flag fell for the actual start, Spitfire, in
the centre of the course, got away in front, followed on the
right by Osprey and Adamant filly on the lower ground,
but before two furlongs had been traversed the last named
dropped into the rear, and Osprey was headed by Purveyor,
with whom was Hue and Cry. Spitfire, however, was
never headed, and won easily by half a length from Pur-
veyor. Hue and Cry was a good third, Sultana was
fourth, the Alice Bray filly fifth, Haymarket sixth, Chan-
tilly seventh, Osprey next, while several lengths off were
the Rebecca colt and the Adamant filly pulling up on the
post. Mr. Pryor claimed Purveyor and Mr. Ten Broeck
Spitfire.

the work with a clear lead of Shrapnel and Paris, Sunny-
side, in the centre of the course, heading the remainder,
who were whipped in by Dinah. About 100 yards from
the commencement of the stand enclosure Sunnyside and
Paris headed Alarmist, but Mr. Stevens's filly
was passed
by Alarmist at the commencement of. the enclosure ; fail-
ing, however, to roach Paris ho was defeated by half a
length. Sunnyside was a good third ; Bessie fourth,
Dinah fifth, Her Ladyship sixth, Newnham next, and

for crossing Alarmist, but it was overruled.
