Starter—Mr. T. MGoorgo.
There was a better attendance on the " Cup" day than
there was on Tuesday, but still the sport was not regarded
with the interest of former years, and the lessee must per-
ceive that the townspeople think little or nothing of the
Summer Meeting at Aintree. There were plenty of races on
to-day's card, but only a few horses were coloured for each,
and the Cup alone was regarded with great interest ; it
brought out seven runners. Vospasian was somewhat out
of favour in the morning, from a report that he would not
run, but he became a strong favourite at last, only Terror
and Pintail being in demand of the remainder. The race
was run in a deizzling rain, which steadily descended
throughout the afternoon, and the pace told upon Vespa-
sian, who was in trouble at the distance. The struggle
was between Mr. Payne's mare and Terror, and the latter
just got home. Full details are appended :
