BRIGHTON RACES—TUESDAY.
The Brighton meeting is always eminently successful in
obtaining aristocratic patronage, and following as it does

- -
the Goodwood week it induces.numbers of vistors to pro:-
long their Sussex tour. The fearfully boisterous weather
on Monday doubtless exercised a depressing influence on
the number of arrivals on Monday, but to-day the trains
from the metropolis and the various adjacent towns were
well filled, the constant, iuflux_of visitors to Brighton
crowding the streets by the time a move was made for the
course. The weather was fine, although the wind was very
high, driving the dust in blinding showers, rendering the
ride anything but comfortable, while it blew a perfect hur-
ricane on the Downs, and by the time the racing com-
menced the attendance was large both on the stand and in
the ring, while the company on the course was very great,
quite as large as on any
former anniversary. Several im-
portant improvements have been made since last year in
the stand, rendering it one of the best in the kingdom.
The racing commenced at two o'clock and concluded at

five, the last race, the Champagne Stakes, resulting in a
walk over for Ostregor. The Railway Stakes, for 2-yr-
olds, brought out five runners, but the presence of Knight
of the Garter and Friponnier was sufficient to invest the
encounter with some interest. Friponnier, carrying Bst
131 b, was the favourite, but there were many good judges
who stood the Knight, who claimed a 31b allowance, and
in Fordham's hands he got well off, made all the running,
and won in a canter by four lengths from Huntsman, who
finished in front of Friponnior, but only on sufferance, as
Custance evidently eased the horse, when pursuit was
found to be hopeless. The Brighton Stakes was contested
for by five runners only, Wild Agnes opening the favou-
rite, but the repeated outlays on Brother to Guerilla, or
rather Ninco Nanco, as he was named immediately after
tho race, soon made him favourite, and, after a game
struggle with Slender, he won by a head in the last stride.
Wild Agnes, who looked very formidable a quarter of mile
from home, bore out the assertion of those who maintained
she could not stay the course. The remainder of the racing
is so fully detailed below that further comments are un-
necessary.
