YORK MEETING-TUESDAY.

The time-honoured gathering on the renowned Knaves-
mire was inaugurated yesterday with its accustomed suc-
cess; the powerful programme issued by Mr. Johnson be-
ing sufficient to satiate the keenest lover of racing, and
those who follow the sport professionally, both as book-
makers and hackers, for many of the latter pursue their
vocation with such business-like pertinacity that they are
fairly entitled to be enrolled in the ranks of professionals.
The demand for hotel accommodation in York on Monday
was very great, and on the arrival of each London train the
familiar forms of racing men made up by far the greater
portion of its living freight. Most of the illuminations
erected in honour of the recent visit to York of their Royal
Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales remain intact
for the race week, and on each evening these evidences of
rejoicing have been brilliantly lighted, the principal de-
monstration being the triumphal arch on the Ouse-bridge,
which is elegant and striking by day and at night. There
was nothing doing at the rooms during the evening but a
few members dropping in. Tho morning gallops were a
sufficient attraction to induce many of the visitors to rise
at a very early hour, and the weather being fine, and most
of the competitors who have been backed for the Ebor
Handicap on the course, they were quite contented with
the inconvenience of so early a visit to
t,the Knavesmire.
The general impression created by the appearance and go-
ing of the various animals who were taking their exorcise
canters were in favour of Oomera, who was looked after
by old John Day, who has apparently recovered from his
recent severe indisposition.*. The course.is pronounced ex-
cellent going, the late heavy rains being very beneficial to
it. Racing commenced at 1.30 p.m., and finished at 5.25
p.m., but the earlyhour at which the parcel was obliged to
be despatched prevented the possibility of offering any re-
marks on the running, full returns of which, however, are
appended :

of breaks away they were started, the favourite taking up
the running, followed by Feodor, Broomielaw, The Cor-
poral, and Lord of the Dales in a cluster, the others lying
well up, with the exception of Fairwind, Beatrice, and
Violet, who got badly off—the last mentioned being a
hundred yards behind the leader after going a quarter of
a mile. As they rounded the bend into the straight Feodor
was beaten, and Elvire ran up to the leader, taking second
place half way up, but was joined at the distance by The
Corporal, the pair racing in attendance on Cecrops to the
stand, where The Corporal challenged, and, gradually
getting up, won a good. race by a neck, the favourite being
a similar distance only in front of Elviro ; Lord of the
Dales and Broomielaw, close together, wore fourth and
fifth, Paxton sixth, Honesty, Feodor, and Fairwind next,
close together. Beatrice and Violet were beaten off.
