EPSOM SPRING MEETING--YESTERDAY.
The unfavourable state of the weather operated as a
damper to the lovers of turf amusements, and although
holiday time, the assemblage was not numerous. The
Stewards; Baron de Tessier and Sir Gilbert lleatheote,
were, as usual, zealous in the discharge of their duties.
Among others on the Course were Sir W. W. Wynne,
Greville, Mr. Gardnor, Capt. Colquitt, Mr. Ives,
Mr. Tompson, &c. The sport commenced soon after two
o'clock; and the first race was run in a terrific storm,
a circumstance which, perhaps, impaired the vi-
sion of the starter, who gave the word to " go " before
Mr. Tompsoll a filly had reached the pest—her owner
having made an objection, and the starter having ad-
mitted the absence of the mare in question, the stewards
declared it a false start. On the first occasion, Mr.
Scott's Mosque was first, Mr. Higgins's Vigo second, and
Mr. Heard's Conjugation third, after a very fine race.
The legitimate struggle ended as follows :
Fifty rcunds, given by Sir G. Ileatheote, Bart., added to
a Sweepstakes of 5 sovs each, for 3 yrs, ist, and 4 yrs,
Bst 121 b. One Mile. (11 Subs.)
