PORCHEPONTAINE RACES.
An attempt has been made to revive here the meeting
which mot with such signal failure when established by a
limited liability company two years back. The new essay,
based on the same principle as on the former occasion—
that is, as a gate-money speculation—can hardly be said to
have found any better success. The running was of tha
tamest description possible, the horses engaged in the ilea.;
races especially included nothing better than the core_
monest selling platers, as the owners of all the large stai-Jles
held aloof, no doubt with the object of discouraging such
shopkeeping undertakings. The weather was fine, but the
heat was most oppressive, and there being no shade of any
kind, the reflection of the min on the white sand of which
the ground consists was quite blinding. A military bar 4
was present and played in the intervals of the races or. 9.

nately without injuring any one. The attendance was but
