STAMFORD RACES-FRIDAY.

This interesting gathering on Lord Exeter's estate was
brought to a close to-day under highly advantageous cir-
cumstances, the weather being glorious, the attendance,
though somewhat short of yesterday, numerous, the fields
of a fair average strength, and the sport excellent. The
aristocratic element was in strong force, the carriages of
several noblemen lining the course. the stand was exten-
sively patronised, and that pall devoted to the ladies was
well filled. There were seven events set down on the card
for decision, and the races teiniinated shortly after five
o'clock. Appended is a return of the sport :

Betting-6 to 4on Lucifer, 2to 1 agst Ambition, and 5

diately the flag fell, and carried on the running until ap-
proaching the distance, when Ambition challenged, but

(11. Covey) 3
Betting-11 to 10 on Elland, 6to 5 agst Tormentor, and
20 to 1 agst Brother to Guerilla. Tormentor took up the
running at a slow pace, and on passing the stand the first
time was about three lengths in advance of Elland ;
Brother to Guerilla at this early period of the race being
a dozen lengthein the rear. On the far side of the course
Tormentor increased her lead, and improved the pace as
she reached the straight, having a lead of at least four
lengths as they passed the stand for the final circuit of the
course, although Elland was pulling double and going as
well as his backers could desire. As they approached the
turn for home Elland gradually decreased the lead of Tor-
mentor and a fine race was anticipated, but Elland,
although he managed to reach the mare's quarters, was
outstayed, and Tormentor, drawing away at the half dis-
tance, won, amid some excitement, by two lengths. Bro.
to Guerilla was tailed off.

lengths after going 150 yards; Cecrops, on the extreme
right, was second, followed by Warrior, Pantaloon, Redan,
Knight of St. Michael, and Confederate, in a cluster, the
others, in somewhat straggling order, being whipped in by
Skirmish. Approaching the distance Cecrops made his
effort, and got within a length of Trapeze, but sho and

by three lengths. Pantaloon finished a length in rear o f
Warrior, Molly Carew was fourth, The Clown and La Me-
