BRIDGWATER AND WEST SOMERSET RACES.

MONDAY.

These races took place at Great Crook, about a mile and
a half from Bridgwater on Monday and Tuesday last.
With the exception cf a few showers the first day was fine,
but the number of persons on the course was very much
smaller than we have witnessed in former years. The
newly-elected member for the borough, Mr. Philip Van-
derbyl, and his colleague, Mr. Kinglake, were present,
with a few of their supporters, and there was a moderate
attendance of people from the neighbouring towns. The
betting was remarkably "slow," and it was difficult to get
anything "on" for most of the events. The following is a
report of the running :
