RACES ON THE GREAT HEATH, QUEEN'S COUNTY. —On

Tuesday week last three well-contested races came off over
the splendid flat-racing groundof the Great Heathof Mary-
borough. The first contest was a match for 20 sous be-
tween Mr. Thompson's chestnut colt by Warlike and Mr.
Robson's grey mare Nifty, by Gamekeeper, lOst 71b each,
and distance one mile. Kitty was made the favourite, with
2tol on her. She cut out the running from the start, but
coming to the straight run home she evinced signs of dis-
tress, and the colt, admirably piloted by Mr. J. Onions,
was landed at the winning-post with hands down. The
second race was a match for 10 sous, between Mr. Thomp-
son's bay horse Lucifer (15st) and Mr. ,Onions's Tim
Whiffler (lost). The betting was in favour of the latter,
3 to 2 being given ; but Lucifer, well ridden by his owner,
came in an easy winner. The distance was half a mile.
The third race was between Lucifer and Kitty, carrying
lOst 71b each. It was also a match for 20 soya, and the
distance was half a mile ; even betting. Mr. Onions made
the running with Lucifer, who was never headed, and came
in a winner by 20 lengths. The day was very severe, and
consequently the attendance was small.
Tiunsx. HuxT Cur.—The race committee have deter-
mined to provide a very handsome piece of plate for the
winner of the Hunt Cup at the ensuing meeting in April.
It is somewhat remarkable that horses belonging to masters
of foxhounds have won the prize during six consecutive
years. We should like to see some of the Leicestershire or
Melton flyers entered and put in an appearance ; nor would
a Cheshire or Scotch good hunter be considered unwelcome
at this pleasant little meeting. It may be " dews" to some
of our readers when wo inform them that Mr. H. Chaplin's
horse Emperor, the winner of the Grand National Hunt at
Wetherby in 1865, was beaten in the Thirsk Hunt Cup
Race of 1864 by Vandal and a quondam stable companion
called Adonis, the property of Sir G. Strickland. Em-
peror ran here in the nomination of Mr. James Hall, of
Scarborough, near Beverley, bring his horse at that date.
We hope our hunting friends will continue to patronise
this foxhunters' reunion with Yorkshire liberality.
TURF CLUB--CURRAGIL APRIL MEETING.-1110 follow-
ing notice has been issued:—" In consequence of the
Curragh April Meeting and the Cheater Races being ad-
vertised to take place on the same days, the stewards of the
Turf Club, with the consent of Her Majesty's Master of
the Horse, have agreed to postpone the Curragh April
Meeting, advertised to have boon held on the 24th, 25th,
and 2Gth days of April, to be held on the Ist, 2d, and 3d
days of May next, and that the horses shall carry the
weights assigned to the several ages and distances for the
month of May in the schedule attached to the Queen's
Plates Articles in the Racing .Calendar, instead of the
weights for the previous month as heretofore.—By orderof
the stewards, ROBERT J. HUNTER, Keeper of the Match-
book."

General Charretie, better known during his career on
the Turf as Gol. Charretie, died yesterday (Friday) week,
at an advanced age. He was for many years prominent as
a sportsman, about his best race horse being Gorhambury,
who ran second to Cotherstone for the Derby, and after-
wards won the Ascot Vase. Earlier in his time the colonel
had some famous welter weight nags, conspicuous amongst
which were Swing and Napoleon ; and he was wont to
ride himself in public, but in the great match across
country between Grimaldi and Napoleon, ending in a
draw, Becher was in the colonel's colours. Gen. Charretie
entered the service in 1804, and succeeded to the rank of
major-general in 1846.
