BRIGHTON RACES —WEDICESDAY.
The Cup day is considered the most fashionable of the
meeting, the attendance, therefore, was much larger than
on Tuesday. The weather during the morning was very
boisterous, and as the hour approached for the first race the
prospects of A fine afternoon appeared remote, as the sky
was overspread with clouds, and rain tell heavily, but for-
tunately after the first race the clouds dispersed and the sun
shone brilliantly. The wind was not so disagieeable as on
the opening day, but it was still very high, and ladies ex-
perienced great difficulty in keeping their toilettes from its
rude strength. A match between Nightwatchand Forester
Was placed on the card to commence the sport at '2 o'clock,
but being off by consent the actual business of the day did
not commence until half an hour later. The Ovingdean
Plate, with 11 runners, produced a warm favourite iu Vio-
lent, who won very easily by two lengths from Paris. The
Fifteenth Brighton Biennial Stakes, with but three runners,
was productive of some very lively speculation between
Trocadero and Cannon Ball, but the last-named was beaten
at the distance, and " the outsider" Mandrake, a remark-
ably good-looking colt, was left to do battle with the
French horse, who, however, won by half a length. The
Cup, a very handsome silver vase of elegant workmanship,
portraying " The escape of Charles the Second from
Brighton to Fackham, near Havre-de-Grace," was of course
the most attractive race of the day, and when the five
starters were notified the interest was at its height. The
betting at the last moment was very heavy, both Tormentor
and The Duke being freely backed, the Oaks victrix at
ono moment having a slight call, but before the flag fell
they were equal favourites, at 2 to 1, while Tourmalin,
at 5 to 2, received substantial support from the followers
of the popular " blue and yellow cap." Janitor was among
the starters to make the pace for his stable companion,
an

.d the moment they were settled in their places he com
menced his mission. The pace requires little comment,
for Tormentor was beaten a mile from home, and The
Duke, taking up the running when he liked, cantered
in a winner by 15 lengths, almost pulling Fordham out
of the saddle. The victory of the Marquis of Hastings was
received with great satisfaction by the general public, loud
cheers greeting the winner and Fordham as they returned
to the enclosure. The remainder of the racing is suffi-
ciently described in the subjoined return, which contains
every detail of the running.

long delay at the post was occasioned by the restiveness of
Monitor, Variation, and Birkdale. When the flag fell
Monitor jumped off with the lead, but gave way to Caprice,
Birkdale, and Goldylocks, after going a hundred and fifty
yards, and they ran thus till half-way up the hill, where
Monitor rushed to the front, and never again being headed,
won easily by a length from Caprice ; Virtuous and Birk-
dale, close up with the second, finished a dead heat for
third place ; Wild Thyme was fifth ; The Masson sixth ;

Betting-7 to 4 each agst The Duke and Tormentor, 5
to 2 agst Tourmalin. The competitors were dispatched at
the first attempt, Tormentor having a slight lead for a
hundred yards, when Janitor, forcing the pace for his
stable companion, took up the running with a clear lead
of Tormentor and Tourmalin side by side, The Duke being
about a length in their rear, while Rattler, outpaced from
the start, was beaten off before going a quarter of a mile.
Little variation in their relative positions occurred until
approaching the T.Y.C. post, when Tormentor, it was
evident, was beaten, and in a few strides further she gave
way. The Duke, who had been pulling over his oppo-
nents all the way, now ran up to Tonrmalin, and Janitor
giving way, The Duke assumed the lead and cantered
home a winner by 15 lengths. Janitor and Tourmalin ran
side by side after coming into the straight, but the first
named in the last 50 yards drew away and finished a
length in front of his stable companion ; Tormentor, who
was not persevered with in the last half mile puled up
before reaching the post, an example followed by Rattler.
