which must be seen to be believed in. Yesterday
was emphatically a fine clay, at once sunny and
windy, hot and bracing ; the turf was smooth as a
billiard-table, and there were a hundred thous sad
people on the . ground. Any one can fill up the
picture. People got themselves weighed at the
machine, . and immediately proceeded to add to
their weight at she Tefreshment booths ; then they
blew into fl•-xible tabes, to asc'erta;n whether their
lungs were in order, and *era gravely handed sani-
tary certificates. by the professional gentlemen who
superintend-d the operation. An aspiring his-
trionic gave imitations of Mr. Charles Kean as
' Richard 111. and was pronounced to be very like,
by all who Cad the happiness of seeing that dis-
tinguished actor in the part. The pickpockets fit-
iiively runiniag-d Vie empty pockefe of p-.-ople who
had been rendered wise by experitnee, and the p 9.-
'icemen ran afier the dogs, who exhibited their
usual prverse ;At ichment for the turf. At the
paddock, Mr. D. irlitig was in all his glory; perform-

and inspected at the Grand Stand. And a nob'e.
troop they made as they passed proudly along,
pawing the ground, and looking as if they knew
that the eyes of a hundred thousand people were
upon them. Every one crowded round Tourna-
ment, admiring his fine shape, his silky hide, his
fiery, eye, and his gallant action. - His winning be-
came almost a ce tainty, and his backers . were
in ecstasies. Skirmisher, also—" Scrummager,"
as -he was fondly called by his humbler par-
tisans—had a strong party ; but nobody asked
wft ich was "Blink Bonny" or " Black Tommy."
They were " dark horses" and nobody dreamt that
a dark horse was to win the race. There was a
Lttle race which nobody seemed to care about ;
then a letting out of the crowd for an hour or so ;
and, finally, an awful pause, much aggravated and
pt otracted by the numerous false starts made by Vie
horses. Not less than a dozen times did eager
watchers shout "They're off r and a dozen times
was the vast crowd di-appointed. 'Even the
veteran who rang the bell was hetiayed into a pre-
mature ding-donsi, so that at last when the whole
ruck was flirty on the course the spectators on the
Grand Stand would not believe the fact until they
saw tie horses rush madly round the corner. The
race was the affair of hnt a moment. , Blink Bonny
was already a-head, and Black Tommy cl Ise behind.
Adanias male a gallant rush as they passed the
Grand Stand, but the favourites were lost in a
crowd, and every one was astonished. Blink Bonny
won by half a length, and there was confusion in
the camp of the prophets.
