SPORTING IN TELLkGLINICR,

LIVERPOOL RACES—WEDNESDAY.
Those who have been led by the recent legal and
Parliamentary discussions to draw inferences unfavour-
ab'e to the continuance of horse-racing, as a national or
honourable pastime, must have been agreeably surprised
at the symptoms of prosperity afforded by the entries
recently made for the Derby, Oaks, and other stakes for
future years, and adverted to in this paper on Tuesday
last—the commencement of the Liverpool July rneetleg
in respect of sport must have helped to convince theta
that racing affairs have taken a healthy turn, and dill
the detection and exposure of fraw), and the prowl)!
measures taken for their prevention or punishmen;
in future, so far from being prejudicial, are
calculated to attain the most beneficial results.
!n speaking of the racing on Wednesday, as sli
befitbe of the prosperous state of the turf, we
be understood as referring solely to the sport 7 ofy
ting, thanks to the sedative effect of the late settling,
there was little, and against gambling in any other
guise, the precaution taken by the authorities were too
complete to be evaded. The unfavourable slate of the
weather in the early part of the day, prevented a large,
attendance. The Grand Stand, however, was r".
tronised by the Croxteth`, Knowley, and Hooton psrties,
and on the whole made a good display of fashionable
company. The weather cleared up before the first race,
and continued fine until after the last heat for the Plagi
which was not d:cidt'd until half-past o'clock.
the arrangements it is almost superfluous to speak, ti';'/
were under the personal direction of the stewares
(Lords Sefton and Stanley, and the lion. E. M. Mostria
and were in every respect becoming the establish 't
character of the meeting. The only noticeable incidea
was the ejection of Ignatus Coyle, the gentleman Ichu
figured so conspicuously in the Running Rein affair.
