RACES CONCLUDED.
The Halter Skelter Stakes.—As was stated yesterday, all
tile Lanes, except Irish Emigrant and Miss Eleanor started
for this race, Bourgeois coming in first easily by about a
length. The judge was not in the box when the horses
passed the winning chair, and declared that he never saw
the horses, and therefore that he could not tell which had
won. Mr. Gill, the owner of Pourgeois, entered a protest
against Miss Eleanor and Irish Emigrant starting, " be-
cause they had not run the first heat." Bath horses ran,
however, and Miss Eleanor won in a canter. Capt. Little,
one of the Stewards, refused to act in the matter, and it was
arranged on Friday that the objection should be withdrawn.
The stakes and bets therefore go with Miss Eleanor.

added. One mile.

Winkfield and Fly-by-Day were very fractious before the
start, and they occasioned much delay at the post; David
Hughes, however, eventually went to Winkfield's head
and kept him under control until the starter dropped the
flag, when he narrowly escaped being knocked down. Un-
derhand got off in front, but on passing the Stand he
was pulled back, and Rara Avis took the lead,
with Prince of Denmark and Polestar. They rounded
the top turn wide, Prince of Denmark only hug-
ging the rails. Along the far side of the course, Rara
Avis, Meg. Merrilies, Mutineer, and Polestar alternately
led, and on rounding the last turn, Meg Merrilies, Pole-
star, and Timandra were in front ; in their wake were The
Squire and Sam Spode, Lifeboat creeping up next the rails.
Before reaching the distance The Squire took close order
with Meg Merrilies, and the two came home together, the
filly coming out at the half distance and winning by a
length. Three lengths off Lifeboat was third, with Timan-
dra at his quarters. The others pulling up were preceded
' Dy Polestar, York, Sam Spode, and Rara Avis ; Yr-Ince of

[ADYEATISEMENT.] —Mr. Benson, Ludgate-hill, has
jus published a new illustrated pamphlet on watches (free
by post for two stamps). It should be read by all who are
about buying a watch, as it contains prices and important
information as to—What watch to buy I where to buy it !
and how to use it I
[ADVERTISEMENT].--The difficulties and dangers of
bringing up infants by hand or wet nurses have been entirely
overcome by Du Barry's deli‘ious Rovalenta Arabica Food,
which feeds, strengthens, and removes all the little pains
and irregularities infants are so subject to. The following
letter speaks volumes :—" Grammar School, Stevenage,
16th Dec., 1850. Gentlemen,—l think it but common
justice to you to state that I have used Du Barry's Rova-
lenta for the last four months, during which time our in-
fant has never had disordered bowels, from which it had
suffered much during the previous six months, whilst being
nursed, thoilgh every care was taken to prevent it. Had I
known of your valuable food sooner, it would have
saved my infant much pain, and me also the heavy
expense of a wet nurse.—l am, &c, ROBERT AMBLER."
