Although the coming elections compelled many of the
aristocratic parons of the meeting to absent themselves,
yet the attendance of visitors of all classes and coudt-
Cons was tot perceptibly below the average.

As the returns of the racing which have been already
published wi'l attest, the meeting fully maintained the
reputation which it has of late years acquired tor.sport,
not only of temporary interest, but of much prospective
importance:

The race for the Northamptonshire Stakes caused St.
Giles to be adva,ced to a leading position in the betting
oe the Chester Cup, and bro.ight Skirmisher into coind-
drable notice for the Derby. The runni ,g of Getiona
di Verity and Fisherinan'a t-uccess for the Queen's Plate
cau,ed Fisherman to he backed fur the Metropoli!ati,
while eeveral investments were made on Gemwa di
Vergy at an." outside price" for the Chester Cup.
Since last year many impr,ovbaients have been eff,cted.
The Earl Spencer's Plate Course has been, made per-
fectly straight, the Grand Stand has been erd,rged, and
by the construction of puitalle offices additional facili-
ties were afforded for conducting the basin( es of the
me,ting.
The finene-s of the weatker.added materially to the
pleasant character of the gatnering.
