EPSOM SPRING MEETING—YESTintDAY.
This meeting, if it suffered in the character of the entries
for the Trial Plate by the alteration in the day of running,
had the recommendations of a well-filled list and fine wea-
ther, two essentials never lost upon the multitude, however
lightly they may be valued by sporting men. Accordingly
the assemblage on the Downs yesterday was infinitely larger
than we have seen at any former Spring Meeting, and the
racinc, if not of the highest grade, plentiful and good. The
Grand Stand, by a stroke of policy, creditable to the Com-
mittee, and to no small extent profitable to the " purveyor-
general to the Turf," Mr. Careless, was opened gratuitously,
and was as fully, if not as fashionably, attended, as on many
occasions of greater importance. The day's sport was under
the patronage of Sir Gilbert Heathcote, Mr. H. Dorling
officiating as Clerk of the Course and Judge, and Mr. Hibburd
as starter, and, by a not over-strict observance of the adver-
tised time of starting, was brought to a close at six o'clock.
The Epsom Trial Plate of 50/., given by Sir G. Heathcote,
added to a Sweepstakes of 5 sovs each ; for three yrs old,

it on to the end, and won cleverly by a length. A very hne
race for second ended in favour of Gwalior by a head, Young
