TUNBRIDGE RACES-TUESDAY.

This pleasant little rilunion was inaugurated to-day under
somewhat favourable auspices, the weather, with the ex-
ception of a slight shower or so, keeping fine, and the at-
tendance being quite up to the average. The course, which
is pleasantly situated by the side of the river Medway, is
within half a mile of the town. The number of pleasure
seekers was very large, while the professional racing men
were well represented. The card contained five races, six
being E pportioned for to-morrow. The sports commenced
at two o'clock and terminated at five. Every feature of
the running is presented in the appended returns :
