The Stewards are the Earl of Derby and J. Maberly, Esq.
M.P., the latter taking upon himself the conduct of the
races, and to him, We believe, are the puliiic indebted for
the excellent regulations which have been adopted. Last
year, it will be recollected, much danger and several aeci-
cideots arose out of the inefficient manner in which the
this,

The races fixed for to-day did not present any great
novelty, for, with the exception of John de Bart and Co-
ronet, they had no bearing upon the Derby and Oaks.—

have taken the trouble to examine and audit the accounts
previous to their being transmitted to the Stsivaids for their
