EPSOM RACES—YEsTERDAr.

To impart anything like novelty to a clescripTion of the Derby
day would be an undertaking of no slight difficulty, for on no lees
than fifty-five occasions has the same scene been acted on the same
ground, during nearly half of which period has it been our annual
task to luxuriate on the various etceteras which assist in the forma-
tion of an ensemble unrivalled in this or any other country. At
one period, indeed, our fears, blinding our reason, gave under weight
to the recent dispute, and almost led us to believe that the metro.
polis would be deprived of its greatest treat, and we of " our occu-
pation." Our apprehensions have, luckily, turned out to be ground-
less, and " this indenture witnesseth" that, until steam-coaches and
iron roads shall have altogether superseded the use or necessity of
horses, the lovers of this truly national sport may continue to parti-
cipate in the laborious enjoyments of the " Derby Day." Despair-
ing, as we have said, of discovering any new features, we com-
menced our journey (and it is a journey) at our usual time, and ac-
complished the sixteen miles in the astonishingly short period of
three hours and a quarter, an achievement of no small merit when
the endless annoyances created by unskilful charioteers and insolent
toll-keepers are taken into consideration. It was fortunate that the
roads were well watered, not by contract, but by a pretty consider-
able shower during the night, and thus one of the grievances most
to be dreaded was avoided. About one o'clock we reached the
Downs, and here for two long hours had we to wander about in a
state of mortal suspense, the time for running the Derby having
been unwisely changed from two till half-past, thus giving an
ample opportunity to those bent on larking and mischief to get
" drunk and disorderly" before, instead of after, the race, as of old ;
and thereby increasing the difficulty of keeping the course. This
alteration is a defect in the management, which in all other respects
is perfect. .

Long before the start the Downs were covered, and we have no
hesitation in stating that a more brilliant company has seldom, if
ever, been collected on them. The Grand Stand exhibited a splen-
did show of fashionables, the list of visiters comprehending, beside
many others, the following distinguished names :

Duke of Cumberland, Princess Augusta, Prince George of Cam-
bridge, Princess of Lichtenstein and daughter.
The French Ambassador and Lady, the Russian Ambassador and
Lady, the Swedish Ambassador, Prince Esterhazy and family, the
Duc de Richelieu, Marquis de Choiseul, Count Bathiany, Count
D'Orsay, and several other eminent foreigners.

Mr. Bowes's Mundig
Lord Orford's Ascot, by Reveller Nat 2
The following also started, but were not placed by the Judge :
Lord Jersey's Ibrahim ... Robinson
Lord Jersey's Silenus, by Reveller C. Edwards
Duke of Richmond's Leopoldine colt Boyce
Duke of Cleveland's Pucelle colt Chifney
Mr. Ridsdale's Coriolanus, by Emilius Conolly
Mr. Pettit's Ibrahim, by Emilius Wright
Sir G. Heathcote's Valentissimo Buckle
Mr. Robinson's Stockport, by Langar Darling
Mr. J. Peel's Trim, by Edmund—Mary Chapple
Lord Warwick's Pelops, 2 yrs Calloway
Mr. Ridsdale's Luck's All, by Tramp G. Edwards
Duke of Rutland's Darioletta colt Wheatley
The ring was formed as usual on the top of the hill, and two or
three fluctuations took place ; but the amount of business transacted
was not very considerable. The last prices were-
-7 to 6 agst Lord Jersey's Ibrahim
3 to 1 agst Lord Orford's Ascot
6 to 1 agst Mr. Bowes's Mundig
10 to 1 agst Mr. Ridsdale's Coriolanus
11 to 1 agst Duke of Richmond's Leopoldine c.
18 to 1 agst Duke of Cleveland's Pucelle colt
50 to 1 agst Mr. J. Peel's Trim
50 to 1 agst Sir J. Heathcote's Valentissimo
100 to 1 agst Lord Warwick's Pelops
The horses assembled at the post at the time fixed, hut, owing to
three or four futile attempts to get off, the race did not come off till
a few minutes after three. Silenus and Luck's All were started for
the purpose of making play, the former for Ibrahim, and the other
for Coriolanus ; Silenus therefore took the lead at a great pace, fol-
lowed by Luck's All, who, during the whole of the time he laid
second, was forcing the running. Behind these two were Valen-
tissimo, Ascot, Mundig, and Coriolanus; then came the ruck, and
lastly, Pelops, Trim, and Pucelle, but all pretty well together.
There was no material change of position till they were near the
Tattenham corner, where Pelops anal Trim went up from the rear,
and joined the horses forward, Trim taking the inner side, and Pe-
lops the upper. In making the turn, Luck's All made a last effort
to increase the speed, and gave up just Wore reaching the road.
Mundig and Ascot now went forward, Mundig, like Pelops, taking
the upper ground, and Ascot the lower, Silenus being still in front,
having with him Valentissimo, Pelops, Trim, Coriolanus, Mundig,
Ibrahim, and Ascot, all in a line, nor did he altogether relinquish
the lead till within the distance, where he dropt off ; a little further
on Coriolanus declined, and at the stand only Ascot, Ibrahim, Mun-
dig, and Pelops were left ; of these the two first named were running
a kind of match on one side, and the two latter on the other. Ibra-
him was beaten before he cleared the Stand, and Pelops almost at
the same moment. Mundig and. Ascot then joined issue, and ran a
very severe race home, Mundig winning by a neck only ; so close,
indeed, was the finish, that in the next stride beyond the chair
Ascot's head was first. Mundig, in fact, won his race right upon
the post, and not till then. About a length behind Ascot were
Pelops, Ibrahim, and Valentissimo, and so close together that it is
difficult to separate them ; we believe, however, that in awarding
the third place to Pelops, the fourth to Ibrahim, and the fifth to
Valentissimo, we shall be pretty near the mark ; Trim was the sixth,
and well up with the three ; Coriolanus was next, then Silenuo
and Luck's All ; behind these Darioletta, Mr. Pettit's Ibrahim,
Leopoldine, and Stockport, and lastly, the Pucelle colt, who never
showed in front, and was beaten a long way. The pace was severe
throughout, but there was not much of atail at the finish. Value of
the stakes, 3,5501., subject to the customary deductions; besides
this Mr. Bowes wins a large sum in bets, all the party are also
great winners. Mundig is got by Catton out of Emma by Whisker,
out of Gibside Fairy by Berme, out of Vicissitude by Pipator ;
Beatrice by Sir Peter. The winner was bred by the trustees of
Lora Strathmore.

The Slow Sitßes, of 5 sovs. each, with 30 soya. added ; 3 yrs old,
ist. ; 4 yrs, Bst. 71b. ; 5 yrs, Bst. Mares and geldings allowed
31b. The winner to be sold for 100/.. Ono mile. 6 subs.

Baron de Teissier named b. m. Jenny Wren, 3 yrs

Mr. Day's Boletas, 3 yrs
Mr. C. Hornby's Guildford, aged a
Flame the favourite, but no betting worth naming. Guildford
made running, followed by Jenny Wren till near the distance, where
Jenny Wren took it up, with Red Leg and Flame at her quarters.
At the Stand Flame came out, and won easy by a length. She was
claimed.

The Ewell Stakes of 5 sous. each, and •25 sous. added; 3 yrs old,
; 4 yrs, Bst. ; 5 yrs, Bst. 91b. ; 6 yrs and aged, 9st. 121 b.

The following also started, but were not placed:—
Mr. White's b. f. by Harry, 3 yrs
111 r. Matthew's Mimosa, 4 yrs
Mr. Goddard's b. f. by Emilius, 3 yrs
No betting. A very fine race between the first two, and won by
a head only ; the others were beaten off.
We did not hear of any betting on the Oaks; and such was the
crowded state of the course that we were unable to ascertain the
number or names of the fillies likely to start.

DE RB IC-DA Y.—G. erard's-Hall Tavern has always
been famous for something out of the common way, as on this
day, in the shape of a turn out. Yesterday far exceeded any
former year. The display of horses and *carriages excelled
anything of the kindin the City ! there were eight carriages,
with four horses each, all filled with gentlemen lodging at the
Tavern. The one that attracted the greatest attention was a
splendid new open landau, drawn by four beautiful grey horses
(said to be part of the stud of a private gentleman near Cha-
ring-cross), with two postillions in scarlet uniform. This was
followed
well-knownb ruc he dre aos
av
e II
n by four very fine bay horses, be-
longing
proprietor,
with two postillions
in green uniform. The d;splgy altogether had a very imposing
appearance, and attracted 4 vast oneourso of spectators.
