GORHAMBURY RACES.

The following horses had arrived on Saturday :
Duke of Richmond's The Currier; Mr. Combo's
Rosa-
lind; Mr. Beresford's Bob Peel, and Sister to Indolence,
2 yrs ; Mr. J. Bird's c by Redshank, out of Amadis,
2 yrs ' • Lord Verulam's Nomination, a colt, by Bizarre,
out of Esperance, 2 yrs; Mr. Ford's Ballet and Humbug,
2 yrs ; Mr. Treen's fluitoe ; Colonel Peel's Archy, &c.
The beneficial effect of the late rains will, no doubt,
cause many others to be sent that would otherwise have
been reserved for Epsom. The list promises seven
races each day, some of them heat ; and we hear
that the first race on Tuesday will be at two o'clock.
This may suit the higher class, but certainly not the
general visitors, as frOM the delay that invariably arises
out of gentlemen riding, there is no chance of the
sports being finished before six or seven o'clock; taking
into consideration the distance from town, the last heat
ought to be over by five. Lord Verulam will entertain
a large party during the races.
We arc sorry to hear that unfavourable accounts have
been received of the health of Christopher Wilson, Esq.,
Father of the Turf.
