TUESDAY

'S RACES.

The Two Thousand Guineas Stakes, important per se, drew
a very large attendance to the heath this afternoon; the
special trains, however, notwithstanding the continued fine-
ness of the weather, were not so extensively patronised as
we have known on many similar occasions, owing, no doubt,
to the principal event possessing little or no interest with
reference to the -Derby. That the proportion of titled
fashionable company was not quite so good as usual will be
collected from the following list, viz.:—Duke' of Buccleuch,
Duke and Duchess of Bedford, - Marquis of Exeter, Earl of
March, Earl of Besborough, Earl of Eglinton, Earl of Ux-
bridge, Earl of Orford, Earl of Airlie, Earl and Countess of
