EPSOM OCTOBER MEETING.

The October Meeting, or rather its renewal, commenced
yesterday under the rnost,flattering auspices, and with the
most complete success. The Sporting World are indebted
Uto Mr. 'sherly for this addition to the metropolitan races,
and to him also are owing the liberal support afforded by
the breeders of race horses, and the consequent excellence
of the sport. Of the general arrangements of yesterdiy's
business we cannot speak too highly. There was the same
attention to the strict keeping of the course, aind a still
greater precision in other important respects, that distin-
guished Mr. Maberly's stewardship at the last meeting;
no time was lost between the different stakes, and the spec-
tators were gratified with aqulck succession of races, from
one till five o'clock. Nothing can more strongly demon-
strate the fairness and good judgment displayed in the
weighing of the horses, than the single fact that out of the
31 entries for the five stakes decided, only one horse did
not come to the post. The manner in which they ran was
as follows :

The Metropolitan Stakes of 10 soya, each, with 50 added
from the Race Fund, for horses of all ages, (2-yr-olds
excepted). The Derby Course. The winner to be
sold with his engagements for 200 sovs.
Mr. Scaith's Vulcan, 4 yrs
Lord Mountcharles's Coronet, 3 yrs 2
Mr: Haird's Profile, 5 yrs 0
Mr. J. Day's Busk, 4 yrs 0
Sir L. Glynn's Upae, 5 yrs ..
General Grosvenor's John de Bart, 3 yrs
Mr. Bromley's by Skim, 3 yrs 0
Mr. De Burgh's Sunshine, aged .
Mr. Dickenson's Prima Donna, 3 yrs
Mr. Bacon's Bugle, 3 yrs 0
Mr. Coleman's Whisk, 3 yrs pd
These Stakes afforded two excellent races from an unto-
ward circumstance. Shortly after one o'clock, the eleven
horses above stated came to the post, and a start immedi-
ately took place, five or six of them coming away in a good
racing style, and making a very fine race, Busk being first,
and Coronet second, by a-head ; however before the race
was finished, it was evident that there had been something
wrong in the start, for many of the horses came in a long
way behind. It was stated that the start had been a false
one; which, on investigation by Mr. Maherly, proving to
be the case, he ordered all the horses back immediately, and
the actual start took place without any delay, and with no
other difference than that Whisk was drawn, and Pavis put
upon John de Bart. In the second race Profile made
strong running, followed by Coronet, Vulcan, and Busk ;
the others keeping in tolerable order till near the distance,
when they were evidently beat, nor did Busk hold it much
longer. Vulcan and Coronet then went a-head, Profile
still being in good place; these three made a very fine race
home, Vulcan winning by a head with great difficulty, for,
we are satisfied, he could not have run many yards further.
Profile was not placed, but ran a good third, and Busk
fourth. The winner, rode by Conolly ; Coronet, by
*Oliver (who rode exceedingly well); Profile, by J. Day ;
Busk, by Chapple ; Sunshine, by Dockery ; Upas, by Cal-
loway ; and the others by boys.

A Match for 100 cove. each, h. ft. One mile.
Lord Nlenntcharles's c. by Blacklock, 3 yrs, 7st. 71b. 1

A doss run race till near the distance, when the Black-
lock colt let loose, and won easy by a length ; rode by Co-
nolly ; and the old horse by Dockery,
The Epsom Stakes of 10 sous. each, with 25 added from
the Fund. Three quarters of a mile. The winner to
be sold with his engagements for 200 sore.

Mr. Dickenson's b. 1. by Waverly, 2 yrs
Mr. Maberly's br. f. by Nicole, 2 yrs 0
Mr. Bacon's Eugene, 2 yrs

Sister to Noureddin made the running as hard as she
could split, with Whisk next her, and Mr. Maberly's at
her heels. At the turn Whisk went up, and rau her an-
'tagonist head and bead to the finish, being beat only in
the last stride or two by a head. The race was beautifully
run throughout. The winner was rode by John Day ;
Whisk by Pavis ; and Mr. Maberly's by Oliver; and the
other two by lads.

the'Fund. Heats, two miles.

Upas took the lead at good running, followed by Dande-
lion and Constantine, the others bringing up the rear
throughout the race. Upas gave way some distance from
home, and left the contest to the other two, who finished
it in style, Constantine winning by a neck only. In the
second heat, he did as he pleased, allowing Dandelion to
make the running to the distance, when he came out, and
won in a canter, by several lengths; rode by Chapple;
Dandelion, by Conolly ; Upas, by Calloway; Icarus, by
Snap; Mirage, by Macdonald ; Charnwood, by Dockery;
Bhurtpore, by J. Day; Whisk, by Pavia; and Sally, by a
lad.
