TUNBRIDGE RACES-WEDNESDAY.

To-day the weather was miserable, rain falling up till
about two o'clock, thereby deterring many of the local
people from venturing out, and rendering the ground quite
soft, and the " going " consequently' heavy. In point of
attendance there was a perceptible diminution from the
opening day. At the time for the commencement of the
sport the rain ceased, but as the day wore on showers fell
at intervals, rendering the racing far from enjoyable. The
five events set for decision were got through in the ap-
pointed time. The Handicap Sweepstakes did not fill,
ani the other races call for no comment beyond the details
given in the appended returns :
The SOUTH EASTERN PLATE of 40 soya (Handicap) ; three

ral breaks away, but the lot were eventually despatched to
a capital start, Lord Waldegrave cutting out the work
with a clear lead of Venturer, the Frogmore colt lying
third, Owlet fourth, Jessie fifth, and Salamanca last. This
order was maintained until approaching the turn into the
straight, where Owlet passed the Frogmore colt, and took
a slight lead of Lord Waldegrave. When fairly in the
straight the Frogmoro colt went to the front, and simul-
taneously Salamanca drew forward. At the distance the
last mentioned assumed the lead, and never again being
headed, won easily by a length and a half ; three lengths
in the rear of the Frogmore colt was Owlet, third; Lord
