NOTTINGHAM RACES.--TUESDAY.
Sherwood Forest, yesterday, presented an animated ap-
pearance, the occasion being the Nottingham Summer
Races, which were celebrated with more than usual success.
The weather was highly advantageous, and instead of a
broiling atmosphere there was a light pleasant breeze,
which had the effect of bringing together r very large at-
tendance—perhaps larger than ever was known on any
previous anniversary. Professional racing men mustered
in strong force, and the townspeople as well as the resi-
dents of the neighbourhood evinced the interest they take
in the races :by attending in largo numbers. The fields
were not large, but generally well contested. Every detail
of the running is presented in the following return :

ages ; the winner to be sold for .£,309 ; selling and other

lead, followed closely by Primrose. Oppression ran about
a length behind, and Politician some distance in the rear.
Before the turn was reached Politician was beaten, and on
approaching the straight Primrose had a very slight lead
of the other two. A capital race for upwards of a quarter
of a mile ensued, the three lying all together. A short dis-
tance from the stand Primrose and Effervescence made
their efforts, and, leaving Oppression, finished a dead heat.
