BRIGHTON CLUB MEETING—TuunspAy.

The attendance on the Club day, which usually attracts
a large muster, was the smallest of the week, and is en-
tirely attiibutable to the unpropitious suite of th 3 weather,
rain falling in drizzling showers throughout the entire
afterncoa, rendering nraters very uncomfortable for the
occupants of the Stand and the carriages. All Cu) covered
places we:a crowded, and every one was glad when the
racing concluded, for, on account of the rale aid the
heavy sea-mist, none of the con!est t couli b.t s wn until
the competitors were with .n a short distance of the win_
ning-poNt. The sport was of a very poor character, and
the fl lis v. ry short. Matira, with high odds betted on
11T, *1 little difficulty in bating Veda's sister for the
Club Biennial Sakes ;
.wbilst Sir Oliver, whose roaring
infirmity the hill at Brighton seems to suit to a nicety,
had very little trouble in disposing of La Belle Jeanne and
Clifford for the Selling Sweepstakes. 1:1 the Club Stakes
the gentlemen rid,-•rs had the satisfaction of beating the -
professionals, as Mr. Bevil' won with President Lincoln,
who started with the call of his opponen's, of
• hoes Pevensey's chance was extinguishe 1 by his being
left at the post. Birdseeker did not gain more friends for
the Lewes Handicap by his defeat by Cock of the Walk in
the Club Biennial, but the Danebury horse is a fairish
animal at a mile. la the Claret Stakes Ettrick upset a
couple of favourites in Reindeer and John Leech, the for-
mer of whom appeared out of all form. The £lOO Plate
produced the greatest surprise of the day, as Dryad, on
whom odds of 2 to 1 were freely laid, sustained an easy
defeat from Lumley, a Findon trained animal, whom Ken-
yon rode. Only one bookmaker laid against him, and he
booked the extreme, odds of 100 to 3, which he repeatedly
offered afterwards. The favourites were successful in
the two succeeding races, though in the handicap for
beaten horses, which closed on the course, Charles 11. was
backed 'for a lot of money, but he had by some mistake
been sent home, and Toy became the favourite, and won
very easily._ Particulars of the sport are appended:— 1

YORKSHIRE CRICKETERS.—This week the All-
England Eleven have been engaged in a cricket match
with 22 of Somercotes, near Nottingham. At night an
.omnibus, belonging to Mr. Cupitt, of Alfreton, was driving
some of the cricketers home. Among them were Luke
Greenwood, Freeman, and Emmett, the celebrated mem-
bers of the Yorkshire County Eleven. By some means
the vehicle was pitched over, and Greenwood sustained
such fearful injuries that he is not expected to live. The
other two were also much cut and bruised. A sergeant
of police and several other passengers were likewise
severely hurt, and the 'bus was greatly damaged.—Leeds
Mercury.
