The Sun.
London, England, 1861-09-12 00:00:00

morning, when a concout7,--e of breeders, owners, and idlers
took place under the rostrum of Messrs. Tattersall to wit-
ness the sale of blood stock. There were 41 lots led out
under a bright sun, and 19 were sold. The stallion Ethel-
bert headed the list, and was bought in at a trifle under
2,000 guineas. One yearling realised 9:50 guineas, and a
brood mare 650 guineas. The others did not fetch exorbi-
tant prices. The attendance was larger than that of Tues-
I day, and the card gave promise of what was afterwards rea-
lised, a nice day's sport. A field of 13appeared for the Nur-
sery, and the two favourites ran first and second. The
County Handicap had nine runners, and was won by Saw-
cutter in a canter; and the Wizard found no antagonist in
the Cup (an equestrian statuette of her Majesty). The other
races were not of much impot Lance, but one sad contretemps
took place, by which a nice lad was severely hurt, a two-
yr-old having thrown him and trodden on his thigh, which
was much lacerated, but not broken. The last race of all
produced the finest contest of the day, two heads only hav-
ing separated the first three horses. The entire distance run
in the six races which came off during the day was !our
miles and a furlong, the long race (the Cup) having ended
in a walk over. Some betting on the St. Leger took place
at intervals, of which we subjoin a quotation.

Some little time was cut to waste through Middleton
Maid refusing to face the flag. At length the flag was
dropped and the lot left the post in compact order. The
Queen of Spain having a slight lead, which she retained for
the first 100 yards, when Middleton Maid, overpulling her
rider, rushed to the front, and went on with a commanding
lead, followed in Indian file by the Queen of Spain, Sea-
horse, the favourite, and Incitatus, the others lying close
up, s t the head of which was seen Commander. In this
order they ran to the entrance into the straight, when
Middleton Maid began to come to her horses, and at the
road The Queen of Spain got to her head, followed by
Genealogie, Seahorse, and Commander, to which lot the
race was confined. Crossing the road Middleton Maid was
beaten, and dropped into the rear, leaving The Queen of
Spain with the lead, who, halfway up, was joined by
Genealogie, between which pair an exciting set-to ensued,

best of it, cut out the work, waited upon by Little Dick,

close up, with the exception of Sawcutter, Neophyte, and
Lord of the Manor, who appeared to be outpaced. Tra-
versing the Star-meadows, the three last named gradually
